The Elon Musk Effect Part Two
Elon Musk
On Ancient Egypt and Not Being Sure for Once
Joe Rogan brings up at first Elon making a colony on Mars and the origin myth being that they all came from Earth.
Rogan and Musk bring up how 5000 years is a lot of time to lose history. In 20,000 years on Mars, people could not really be sure about the history of humans and Earth, depending.
Musk says he considers civilization starting at the first writing and that was 5500 years ago by the ancient Sumerians.
Rogan believes some writings and glyphs were possibly 12000 years old or older depending on the archaeologists you speak to. He brings up the Ancient Apocalypses scenario about an advanced people that were wiped out.
Musk doesn't buy that theory as easy as Rogan. He sticks with the evidence at 5500 years old.
Rogan brings up other carvings and evidence that rainfall erosion in places without rain for 9000 years exist, without proper explanation. Geologists and archaeologists disagree on these things.
Musk replies "Oh, OK." 5000 years or 9000 years is nothing compared to Earth's existence and doesn't matter in the long run.
They bring up that even these civilizations being gone now are proof that it can all go away fast.
They mention that 4000 years ago Los Angeles wasn't around and in 4000 years, Los Angeles won't be around. The same can be said for English and countries and races.
The guys then have pizza brought in and we listen to Musk and Rogan chew pizza for awhile. It is actually nice hearing very rich people eat like regular people.

Hey William,
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled to see that someone else is posting about ancient civilization theories so props to you for including this on your blog! I do like Elon Musk a lot, but I very much doubt he has watched the long running (20 seasons now) of Ancient Aliens as they get into the question of “how old is humanity?” with a lot of their episodes. It’s a great show and I highly recommend that everyone check it out, if for no other reason than to stretch your mind with some of the interesting theories they have, which honestly make so much more sense to me than mainstream society postulates. Since Musk talks about the Sumerians, I bet you might be interested to know about the lost of civilization of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, which is said to have predated the Sumerians by 5,000 years! I talked about that in my blog article about “France’s fast fashion laws.” I also like that you mentioned the civilizations that existed pre-flood. Did you know that Plato authored a book called “Timaeus and Critias” which outlines how the Atlantean civilization was structured? When you think about how long-ago Plato lived, it is actually pretty mind bending that Atlantis was part of the public discourse of the ancient Greek world too.
