Date: 2023-01-18 | Duration: 3h 4m

Episode Overview

Jimmy Corsetti and Ben van Kerkwyk dive deep into ancient mysteries and lost civilizations, focusing heavily on the enigmatic Rishat Structure—often called the Eye of the Sahara. They explore its possible connections to Atlantis and ancient Roman maps, highlighting geological evidence of water erosion and volcanic activity dating back over 12,000 years. The discussion touches on the Sahara’s dramatic transformation from a lush landscape with vast river networks and Mega Lake Chad, to the desert it is today. They also examine how ancient Egyptian origin stories and artifacts might link to this region, challenging conventional timelines and archaeological narratives. The conversation shifts to the astonishing precision and advanced technology behind ancient Egyptian artifacts, including alabaster vases and massive granite blocks. Corsetti and van Kerkwyk discuss evidence suggesting the use of sophisticated machining techniques far beyond what is traditionally accepted, such as rotary tools and structured light scanning revealing intricate craftsmanship. They question mainstream archaeology’s reluctance to acknowledge these findings, suggesting a broader suppression of alternative histories. The episode concludes with reflections on global cataclysms like the Younger Dryas impact event, magnetic pole shifts, and their potential influence on human civilization, weaving a compelling narrative that urges reconsideration of humanity’s ancient past.

And that's kind of where it Starting point is 00:02:31 south, where there's clear evidence of water erosion that took place after the volcano. Starting point is 00:02:58 which matches the Rishat structure. Starting point is 00:03:26 Rishat structure is located, is also, their very first known king was also named Atlas. Starting point is 00:04:11 And he was so rich from gold that he would be richer than Elon Musk and Bezos combined almost. Starting point is 00:04:41 besides the fact that elephants are known to be in throughout Africa, they used to be in Mauritania. Starting point is 00:05:20 the largest network or one of the largest networks of rivers ever known to exist. It had the largest network or one of the largest networks of rivers ever known to exist. It had the largest freshwater lake ever known to exist, which is Mega Lake Chad, which just to put this into perspective, it is – if you take all the North American Great Lakes combined, that's 94,000 square miles of surface area, whereas Mega Lake Chad was 139,000. Starting point is 00:06:16 that this place was unbelievably different than it is today. And one of the things that's so Starting point is 00:06:55 looks at the Sahara Desert through the Google Earth app, you can see fluvial striations, Starting point is 00:07:44 know, Jamie, if you're able to bring up one to the south, you can see, and I don't know, Jamie, if you're Starting point is 00:08:19 from the ocean? That is what I suggest, because in the middle of that caldera, Starting point is 00:09:06 That is a lava flow that's dated around 12,000 or so years ago. Starting point is 00:09:49 can make that smaller Jamie can you make it ...
