What? Is this a hoax?

Six miles from Urfa, an ancient city in southeastern Turkey, Klaus Schmidt has made one of the most startling archaeological discoveries of our time: massive carved stones about 11,000 years old, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people who had not yet developed metal tools or even pottery. The megaliths predate Stonehenge by some 6,000 years.

11,000 years?!? 11 … thousand … years?!? This is either totally made up or some crazy U.F.O. shit. I mean, look at this stone:

If I was going to make some hoaxy old stone, that is exactly what my hoaxy stone would look like. Honestly, I can’t wrap my head around this. How is it some German dude finds one archeological site and suddenly, civilization is 6,000 years older than we thought it was yesterday? I don’t like it one bit. You mark my words, there are aliens behind this somewhere.
