I also finally got around to watching this whole episode, which is really excellent, arguably the best Joe Rogan podcast ever. Hancock and Carlson relentlessly argue for their younger dryas comet impact model, and in doing so, the guests discuss a wide number of well established para-archeological phenomena, such as the age of the Sphinx, the location of Atlantis, the origin of human civilization in Mesopotamia and North America, life during the palaeolithic, and other subjects. Shermer goes too hard with his skepticism on a few occasions that are memorable, notably regarding the continued validity of the Clovis First model regarding the peopling of north america- Shermer refuses to believe that the "established" or "mainstream" model has already been largely opened to question.
On the other hand, Shermer's relentless skepticism reigns in Hancock and Carlson, forcing them to provide evidence to support their claims. Shermer is caught off-guard when Hancock points to an article (by Marc Defant) on the internet version of Shermer's own magazine that criticizes Hancock unfairly, and Shermer is forced to concede it does so. Carlson has a good point about how he doesn't agree that there is a "mainstream" vs the "fringe" but rather a group of factions with too many differing opinions to really construct monolithic groupings, something that Shermer keeps reminding Hancock of. Hancock has a real victim mentality- perhaps because he has been unfairly represented several times in the past, including by the BBC- but it doesn't get too in the way of the fascinating discussion. Hancock calls for more marine archeology to locate further evidence for ancient civilizations or coastal settlements that are now submerged, and I couldn't agree more. Organizations like NOAA which conduct ocean science and research should be funded heavily to continue these investigations with the required resources. At about 2 hours in they call in friends, both geologists (including Defant, the author of the inflammatory article), to have them thoroughly hash out the debate regarding the causes of the climate change incident that occurred between 15,000 and 12,000 years ago.
Here is another
national geographic documentary for anyone interested.
