Joe Rogan Challenges Conventional History, Claims Ancient Secrets Hidden

Podcaster Joe Rogan has sparked controversy by alleging that mainstream Egyptologists are concealing evidence of advanced civilizations predating ancient Egypt by thousands of years. On his July 15 Joe Rogan Experience episode, Rogan argued that discoveries like Göbekli Tepe in Turkey (dated to 12,000 years ago) and erosion patterns on Egypt’s Great Pyramid suggest human history stretches back far earlier than accepted timelines.
Rewriting Egypt’s Timeline
Rogan criticized experts for dismissing ancient records like Egypt’s “king’s lists,” which allegedly document 30,000 years of rule. He emphasized geological findings, such as water erosion on the Great Pyramid, which geologist Robert Schoch links to heavy rainfall 9,000 years ago—implying the structure is millennia older than its official 2500 BCE dating. “How do [Egyptologists] know it’s all myth before 2500 BCE? They don’t,” Rogan stated.

Clash with Egyptologists
Rogan singled out Dr. Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s former antiquities minister, for rejecting theories about “Zep Tepi,” a mythical golden age when gods supposedly ruled Egypt. Hawass has dismissed such ideas as fantasy, but Rogan accused him and others of gatekeeping to protect their careers. “They never revise their dates,” Rogan claimed, suggesting academia resets rewriting history.
Mysteries of Göbekli Tepe and Beyond

Rogan highlighted Göbekli Tepe, a 11,600-year-old site in Turkey with intricate carvings, built 6,000 years before Stonehenge. He posited that its creators may have had technology radically different from modern systems, focusing on cosmology and megaliths rather than engines or microchips. Co-host Danny Jones humorously speculated, “Did they escape Earth and go to the moon?”
Sunken Cities and Lost Tech
Other sites like Japan’s Yonaguni Monument—a submerged pyramid-like structure—and Indonesia’s Gunung Padang, potentially 16,000 years old, further challenge historical narratives. Rogan suggested these indicate a global network of advanced prehistoric societies. “What else haven’t we found?” he asked, arguing that mainstream science ignores such anomalies.

Conclusion
While Rogan’s theories remain contentious, they revive debates about humanity’s origins. As discoveries like Göbekli Tepe redefine ancient capabilities, the question persists: Could lost civilizations hold secrets that rewrite history?
