Joe Rogan and Randall Carlson: Exploring Ancient Civilizations
On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan sat down with Randall Carlson, an author and researcher who has spent decades studying ancient civilizations. Carlson shared his insights on a variety of topics, including the possibility of a lost civilization beneath the ice of Antarctica, the role of mushrooms in human evolution, and the significance of the pyramids.
The Ice Age Floods
One of Carlson’s most fascinating theories is that a series of catastrophic floods occurred during the last Ice Age, which reshaped the Earth’s landscape and wiped out many ancient civilizations. Carlson believes that these floods were caused by the collapse of an ice dam in Antarctica, which released a massive amount of water into the ocean.
Rogan was intrigued by Carlson’s theory, and he asked him how he could be sure that it was true. Carlson explained that there is a lot of evidence to support his theory, including geological evidence and ancient texts.
“There are geological deposits all over the world that show that there was once a massive flood,” Carlson said. “And there are also ancient texts from all over the world that describe a great flood.”
The Lost Civilization of Antarctica
Carlson also believes that there is a lost civilization beneath the ice of Antarctica. He points to the fact that there are a number of ancient maps that show a continent in the South Pole, which is now covered in ice.
“I think it’s possible that there was once a civilization in Antarctica that was wiped out by the Ice Age floods,” Carlson said. “And I think that this civilization may have been very advanced.”
Rogan was skeptical of Carlson’s theory about a lost civilization in Antarctica, but he was open to the possibility.
“I don’t know if I believe that there’s a lost civilization under the ice in Antarctica,” Rogan said. “But I’m willing to keep an open mind.”
The Role of Mushrooms in Human Evolution
Carlson also discussed the role of mushrooms in human evolution. He believes that mushrooms have played a significant role in the development of human consciousness.
“Mushrooms contain psilocybin, which is a psychedelic compound,” Carlson said. “Psilocybin can cause profound changes in consciousness, and I believe that it may have helped to accelerate the evolution of human consciousness.”
Rogan was interested in Carlson’s theory, and he asked him if he had any evidence to support it. Carlson said that there is a lot of anecdotal evidence to support his theory, but he admitted that there is not a lot of scientific evidence.
“I think that the role of mushrooms in human evolution is a fascinating topic,” Carlson said. “And I think that it’s something that deserves more research.”
The Significance of the Pyramids
Carlson also discussed the significance of the pyramids. He believes that the pyramids were built by a highly advanced civilization that understood the principles of sacred geometry.
“The pyramids are not just tombs,” Carlson said. “They are also temples of knowledge. They contain a lot of information about the universe and our place in it.”
Rogan was impressed by Carlson’s knowledge of the pyramids, and he asked him what he thought the most important thing to know about them was.
“The most important thing to know about the pyramids is that they are a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors,” Carlson said. “They are a reminder that we are capable of great things.”
The conversation between Joe Rogan and Randall Carlson was a fascinating exploration of ancient civilizations. Carlson shared his insights on a variety of topics, and he challenged Rogan to think about the world in a new way.
