Some of his theories make sense to me but I also don’t know chit. Apparently real archeologists say he’s a bullchit artist.

Hes a grifter who rides Rogans coattails. He even had Rogan on one of those episodes just to say a couple lines 'hmm it seems credible'
thanks for the input Rogaine

Lets say he is right, does it change anything for us?
The advanced civilizations he describes never left behind any pictographical or written system to pass along to others.
It's historical stargazing.

Rogan still believes Bob Lazar so he’s not exactly a critically thinking person or trustworthy voice.

Lol…that’s like saying “trust the science”.



You know your science is flimsy when you absolutely HATE people questioning it and trying to silence them. Also, as we learn more about history, things are shifting closer to his view of timelines and away from the views we’ve held for a while. Lots of discoveries keep pushing the timeline back, and also indicate civilizations that were a lot more advanced than previously thought. Same with his Younger Dryas impact theory. People used to sh!t on him about it, and now even hardcore skeptics who publicly challenged him have had to admit that it’s looking like he was right after all.

Mainstream archaeology is just like mainstream science, you have gatekeepers who's whole model of research is based on money. I think Graham Hancock has addressed this in the past but can't remember where. But there's a bunch of "Tartaria" channels and groups where they delve into stuff cut off by the establishment. You just have to go out and find it.

A lot of archeologists have issues with his claims but supposedly some of his claims have been proven true as far as timelines on discoveries in America.

All it takes is one major find for archeologists to have to revamp their entire theory/timeline.

Archeology is more of a 'social science' than hard science. It's more like 'humanities/sociology' than Math. Add to that, it's run by academic with fragile egos that have a need to constantly publish research papers. They're essentially gatekeepers with little to no context to anything outside their 'science'. I.e. their claims don't undergo exploration by engineers, geologists, and you know 'real sceintists'.



Much of what they critisied Graham Hancock for turned out to be true...

Anyone can take facts and twist them around to fit a narrative. However, his stuff seems rooted in what's actually in front of him and based on tangible or physical remnants of history and not just simple notions drawn out of "what could be". I like him. Most people who disagree with him are those who just take what is mass taught as that's the only way it could be. He looks beyond that and basis it on what actually and probably existed versus what we decide happened because it's a better story.

It's one of those things where you know you're right and you don't give a sht how much people hate you for it because they know you're right deep down. Easier to simply try to discredit someone than to admit you were wrong. Following the historical "narrative" keeps grant $$ flowing. You think they'd admit the truth of it? They'd be forced out of their field and defunded.

Misc has taught me the less popular opinions are most often the true ones. Same goes for history.

There’s a lot of information out there debunking Lazar. He’s a fraud srs.

Sorry for the Reddit link but it’s the best compilation I could find in a few minutes.

Davik brah, repeating the word 'grifter' doesn't add any value, as always you haven't posted anything of any meaning. "Egyptology" isn't a hard science, it's a collection of stories and guesses, some has merits and some don't. They're continuously being disproven by the day.

The discovery of Gopekle teppie in Turkey has changed things, but as always, you don't know anything about anything

I wish he would post more stuff on his YouTube channel. Most of his content is from other podcasts like Rogan or lectures he gave 10 years ago. Also the stuff he posts on his channel isn't really all that great. Like biblical interpretations and theories on consciousness. His best work is on lost civilizations.

Not all. Some give credence to his theories. For example the sphinx erosion theory. It backdates the sphinx 10K years and reputable geologists back up this claim. What do egyptologists know about water erosion?
