Ancient Civilizations -- what did they know?

Yesterday we noticed that the site of Gobekli Tepe unearthed (pun intended) the fact that the folks that lived 'long long ago' were much smarter than the 'old earth evolutionary glasses' folks think.

We noticed that the structures at Gobleki Tepe could not have been made by folks who had just recently been apes and now were 'hunter-gatherers'.

But is this the only evidence about the advanced knowledge of our ancestors?

Textbooks and our culture (movies, magazines, TV programs, etc etc etc) today teach that ancient man evolved -- and present a 'tree' of evolutionary ancestors including monkeys and apes.

Do the known historical accounts of ancient Civilizations confirm that man evolved from apes, didn't know much, and couldn't build structures such as Gobekli Tepe?

Or did those Ancient Civilizations have inventions and technology that often parallels and even surpasses what man of the 20th and 21st Centuries can do?

This article presents several insights which throws a lot of cold water on those evolutionary views.  HERE'S THE LINK
