Ancient Visitors? What Billy Carson, Katt Williams and David Grusch Offer as Evidence
Billy Carson reads Sumerian tablets as literal records of the Anunnaki engineering humans, and Katt Williams argues that the world's shared stories credit visitors from elsewhere with ancient knowledge. David Grusch adds only a hedged view that some ancient civilizations may have been cargo cults for visitors, while Joe Rogan, who drives the talk of Egypt, Enoch, Ezekiel and Peru, both probes the idea and pushes back on it.
Who does Billy Carson say genetically engineered early humans? Show answer
The Anunnaki, beings described in Sumerian tablets, who in his reading mixed their DNA with an existing hominid to create a worker being.
Why does Carson reject the word mythology for the Sumerian tablets? Show answer
He argues scholars use it to cover up that they have no idea, and that the tablets are a time capsule of information meant to be deciphered today.
What genetic evidence does Carson point to? Show answer
The fusion of human chromosome 2, which he dates to about 200,000 years ago and matches to the tablets' story of making mankind for labor.
What is Katt Williams's main argument for ancient visitors? Show answer
That cultures around the world tell remarkably consistent stories crediting their knowledge to beings from elsewhere, and that stories last only if people have reason to believe them.
What evidence does Katt give that the Great Pyramid was a power plant? Show answer
Intricate carvings and paintings in windowless rooms with no candle soot; he says it was powered by hot springs underneath.
What does the Wikipedia passage read on air say about the Emerald Tablet's age? Show answer
Its text first appears in early medieval Arabic sources, the oldest dating to the late eighth or early ninth century.
What is David Grusch's view of ancient civilizations? Show answer
He would not be surprised if some were essentially cargo cults for visitors, likely true in many cases but not all, though he says it is outside his expertise.
What point of Flint Dibble's does Rogan raise against Carson's pyramid numbers? Show answer
That you can multiply arbitrary numbers to get whatever result you want.
What alternative to visitors does Rogan offer for old stories of advanced knowledge? Show answer
Oral memory of an advanced human civilization destroyed in a cataclysm.
What two questions does Rogan put to Katt Williams? Show answer
"How do you know all this first of all?" and "Where did you read this?"
What does Rogan admit about himself in the Carson episode? Show answer
That he gets so wrapped up in these theories that he hopes they're true and stops thinking critically.
