Joe Rogan attempted to rewrite the beginnings of human civilization, adding that ancient Egyptian researchers are trying to hide 30,000 years of history.
On the July 15 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the 57-year-old claimed that Egyptologists were 'gate-keeping' information related to ancient cultures that may predate the Egyptians by thousands of years.
The podcast host also made the case that there's now evidence to prove Egypt was just another part of a much older society on Earth that may have created modern technology far different than we use today.
'We're told it's 2500 BC for the Great Pyramid, but boy, there's a lot of people that don't agree with that, including geologists,' Rogan said.
Rogan cited that today's scientists have all but confirmed that a mysterious civilization built ancient structures like Göbekli Tepe in Turkey up to 12,000 years ago, knowledge that would radically rewrite the story of humanity.
However, Rogan accused many scientists and historians of dismissing these discoveries, claiming that they've profited from keeping the Egyptians as the first great civilization.
'Everybody wants to be right and they all have this date that they've been talking about and writing books about and giving lectures about. They never want to revise that,' Rogan claimed during the July 15 podcast.
'They never want to have an open mind and say perhaps there is evidence, of course, that there was a sophisticated civilization there [in] 2500 BC but maybe they were a part of a very old civilization,' he continued.

While slamming ancient Egyptian researchers for the alleged suppression, Rogan again took aim at Dr Zahi Hawass, a renowned archaeologist and Egypt's former Minister of Antiquities.
Rogan accused Hawass, who he's called the worst guest in his show's history, of being 'totally ignorant' about the ancient Egyptian concept of 'Zep Tepi,' or the 'First Time.'
It refers to the idea of the mythical golden age at the beginning of Egyptian history when the gods ruled directly on Earth. Hawass dismissed this concept as nonsense or mythology.
Rogan also slammed Hawass and other Egyptologists for dismissing the so-called king's lists, which allegedly chronicle the history of Egyptian rulers for 30,000 years.
'Egyptologists that are conventional thinkers, they they think that it's mythology. They think that's myth. But, you know, you get to about 2500 BC, that's all real. Well, how the f*** do you know, right? They don't. You don't,' Rogan declared.
Rogan then began to reveal what the Egyptology community allegedly doesn't want people to consider. This included the theory that the Great Pyramid couldn't possibly be only a few thousand years old, due to all the erosion in the stones.
Geologist Robert Schoch, who Rogan referenced, has stated that rainfall data and water erosion patterns in ancient Egypt suggest heavy rainfall last occurred in the Nile Valley around 9,000 years ago.
That would mean the Great Pyramid was more than 4,000 years older than what's commonly accepted today.

Rogan then delved into the mystery surrounding the site of Göbekli Tepe, which is believed to be an ancient ceremonial or religious site constructed by hunter-gatherers.
This archaeological site with massive T-shaped limestone pillars in Upper Mesopotamia is believed to have been inhabited from around 9500 BC to at least 8000 BCE, during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Era.
That's over 5,000 years before the Egyptian pyramids were built and roughly 6,000 years before Stonehenge.
'If there was an advanced civilization 11,800 years ago that was able to create Göbekli Tepe, which we know now to be true, what else have we not found?' Rogan asked his guest, fellow podcast host Danny Jones.
'Was it a breakaway civilization? Did they escape the Earth and go to the moon? Like they're trying to do now,' Jones added.
Rogan followed up on Jones' assumption, suggesting that these lost human civilizations, including the Egyptians, may have taken a very different path in terms of technical innovation.
Rogan theorized that instead of moving on to create the internal combustion engine, microchips, and plastics, these ancient societies evolved to construct advanced technology using entirely different engineering principles.
'I think the path that they took involved immense stone structures, cosmology. They probably didn't have internal combustion engines. They probably had a completely different kind of technology that we wouldn't even think of,' Rogan explained.
Göbekli Tepe in Turkey was constructed around the same time as researchers believe Yonaguni monument would have been built in Asia, more than 10,000 years ago
To Rogan's point, Göbekli Tepe is not the only mysterious structure that could soon rewrite everything modern society knows about the ancient world.
A sunken 'pyramid' near Taiwan has been sitting just 82 feet below sea level near the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
Called the Yonaguni monument, it has stumped and astonished researchers, mainly due to its sharp-angled steps that stand roughly 90 feet tall and appear to be made entirely of stone, leading many to believe it was man-made over 10,000 years ago.
Meanwhile, another ancient structure in Indonesia could predate Göbekli Tepe and the Yonaguni monument by a staggering amount of time.
Gunung Padang, first re-discovered by Dutch explorers in 1890, is said to be the world's oldest pyramid.
Studies have shown that the 98-foot-deep 'megalith' submerged within a hill of lava rock dates back more than 16,000 years.
