Magnetic Anomalies and the Agricultural Revolution
Magnetometer tests in Enclosure D at Göbekli Tepe have recorded spiraling magnetic fields and telluric currents. The late John Burke theorized that such magnetic anomalies were used to stress seeds and grains, leading to higher crop yields. This potential "natural technology" aligns with the fact that the agricultural revolution began in this specific region shortly after the sites were constructed.
