Are you a tech addict? Fret not, because in this era we all are. But aren’t we supposed to enjoy the fruits of technology that makes us feel like we are at the peak of human development? Well, Joe Rogan would believe otherwise. According to the UFC commentator, a civilization managed to reach the pinnacle of technological advancements 4,500 years ago. In fact, they achieved feats that still stand tall today. But which mystery civilization is he talking about, and what exactly did they do?

On the Joe Rogan Experience episode #2244, the podcaster sat down with former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot, Ryan Graves. From the government to the military to technology, their talk covered it all. However, one belief of his that stood out was that the ancient Egyptians were much more advanced than our current age civilization. But why? Well, that’s because we always think technology is completely linear, but the best evidence about our thinking being false is in Egypt. Especially, the Pyramids and the mystery behind how they managed to construct such a massive monument without modern technology.

The JRE host said, “The best evidence that that’s not true exists—you can go touch it with your hand; you can see photographs of it online. We don’t know what the f— they did, and whatever they did was super advanced for 4,500 years ago.” He further added, “No one understands how they got the stones there. It’s all speculation and guesswork, but whatever it is, it’s insanely impressive. It’s a different sort of way of implementing human ingenuity, engineering, and thought into construction. It’s very different than anything we’ve done.” The fact that Rogan has previously also tried to think of a clear explanation about the technology used by the ancient civilization proves how fascinated he has been with the country and its past.

After all, the pyramids of Egypt have fascinated humanity for millennia. Built as tombs for the pharaohs and great figures of ancient Egypt, these structures are a reflection of the ingenuity and architectural skill of the ancient civilization. However, how they constructed them, especially the Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, which was built of blocks of stone that can weigh several tons each, remains a mystery that fascinates people like Joe Rogan on the podcast and other humans alike. But do you know that another mystery fascinates the JRE host?

Joe Rogan talks about the existence of dragons

A huge fan of the ‘Game of Thrones’ series, Joe Rogan loves to believe that several mythical creatures from folklore once ruled the world. One such creature that the JRE host believes existed was a dragon. On the Joe Rogan Experience #2227 with guest Adrienne Iapalucci, the podcaster tried his hand at debunking the theory that dragons were just mythological creatures.

According to the JRE host, the commonality that dragons are depicted in the historical textbooks of cultures that barely had any contact with one another shows that there were such creatures that often came in contact with people of the world. “I had this guy, Forest Galant; he’s a wildlife biologist, and he thinks there’s a real possibility that dragons were an actual thing. That’s why there’s all these records in all these different cultures. Chinese culture has dragons; Japanese culture has dragons; ancient Europeans have dragons.”

But while Joe Rogan believes that dragons existed, they weren’t the fire-breathing monsters as depicted in shows and movies. Instead, they were crocodile-like reptiles who knew how to fly instead. That surely is a theory many fans might find worth pondering. But what do you think? Did dragons exist? Let us know in the comments.
