Joe Rogan Experience #1928 - Jimmy Corsetti & Ben van Kerkwyk

Jimmy Corsetti makes the case that the Richat structure (Eye of the Sahara) in Mauritania matches more than a dozen of Plato's descriptions of Atlantis, including concentric rings, a southern sea opening, gold, elephants, and a green Sahara wiped out by catastrophic flooding. Ben van Kerkwyk argues that ancient Egyptian granite vases, drill cores, and colossal statues show machining precision and tool marks impossible to produce with the primitive copper-and-stone tools attributed to the dynastic Egyptians. They tie it all to the Younger Dryas cataclysm, cosmic impacts, the Carolina Bays, and a possible pole/crust shift, contending an advanced civilization existed and was destroyed roughly 11,600 years ago. Throughout, they criticize mainstream academia as gatekeepers who dismiss this evidence, and the conversation later turns to free speech, censorship, social media, and politics.

• The Richat structure (Eye of the Sahara) reportedly matches over a dozen of Plato's descriptions of Atlantis's lost capital.
  00:00:33
• Salt deposits and sea gastropod fossils atop an 11,000-foot Saharan volcano suggest the ocean blasted through far more recently than science claims.
  00:08:24
• An ~11,000-year-old underwater seafloor slide off West Africa, wider than Florida, may be debris from a massive flood out of the Sahara.
  00:19:51
• Aerospace metrologists scanned a pre-dynastic Egyptian granite vase: flat to 3,000ths of an inch and circular to 13,000ths, argued impossible by hand.
  00:44:50
• Petrie core #7 shows a continuous twin spiral groove cutting granite at a rate 500 times faster than modern drilling.
  00:54:38
• The Carolina Bays are claimed to be millions of elliptical splash craters from a cosmic impact into the North American ice sheet.
  01:17:28
• The Adam and Eve Story posits a sudden 90-degree pole/crust flip causing continent-sized, two-mile-high tsunamis.
  01:32:01

• Mauritania's first known king was named Atlas, matching the name of Atlantis's first king Atlas.
  00:03:41
• Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire, partly modern Mauritania, is cited as possibly the richest person in history from gold.
  00:04:13
• Plato's date for Atlantis sinking (~11,600 years ago) coincides with the end of the Younger Dryas.
  00:13:06
• Burckle Crater, a roughly 20-mile hole in the Indian Ocean dated about 5,000 years ago, is proposed as a biblical-flood source.
  00:14:37
• Petrie documented an ancient stone vase worked down to one-fortieth of an inch thick.
  00:43:17
• More than 50,000 stone vases were discovered beneath the Step Pyramid of Djoser.
  00:47:24
• A human jawbone found in Morocco pushed Homo sapiens' age back to around 300,000 years.
  01:12:43
• Egypt has finished single-piece granite statues weighing around 1,000 tons moved over 1,000 miles.
  01:50:09
• The Djehutihotep relief shows 156 men dragging a roughly 56-ton alabaster statue on a wooden sled.
