#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk
Joe Rogan and Ben explore evidence for advanced ancient civilizations, focusing on the lost Egyptian Labyrinth at Hawara, mysterious underground structures beneath the Giza Plateau and Sphinx, and megalithic sites in Peru and Bolivia like Tiwanaku and Ollantaytambo. They discuss geological and geodetic data suggesting extreme antiquity for some monuments, sacred geometry and astronomical encoding in the Great Pyramid, and the possibility that humanity has risen to high levels of technology before being reset by cataclysms. The episode also covers academic resistance to these ideas, the role of new scanning technologies, and even legendary technologies like Solomon's Shamir.
