The Ever-unfolding Marriage of
Loewenmensch and the Venus of Hohle Fels
Meanwhile the mother-goddess returned home to Turkey, to Göbekli Tepe. It was almost as if she had said, “Enough of the caves and the crude huts made from the bones of deceased mammoths. Get me a Pritzker architect and build me a proper edifice!” And in that time, around 10,000 BC, almost 12,000 years ago, slightly before the beginnings of the accumulation of peoples around Jericho, and other Palestinian locations, and 7,000 years before the first of the Egyptian pyramids; she built a massive structure of tall shaped columns and large open spaces.
She sat alone in her throne, except for the foxes perennially at her sides, amid her developing creation, and pondered the difference between this immense building and the environments of the people with whom she had just been celebrating in lower Germany, her friends Hohle Fels and Loewenmensch.
There are questions about the primary purpose of her creation. It was obviously a religious ground, but some suggest even more, a skull worship – an homage to death – as there have been found skulls and other skeleton parts encased within the columns and other elements of the structure.
