Key Takeaways
- ✓Noah's Ark Evidence Stack: New drone scans at Mount Ararat using the same ground-penetrating technology that located Egypt's Hawara Labyrinth have potentially hit petrified wood. The nearby town of Sharupak — identified as Noah's origin point in Sumerian texts — sits buried under 50 feet of mud dated to the same period as the scanned structure. Anchor stones (drogue stones) with rope holes matching ancient Greek and Roman port anchors are found at the site, sized proportionally for a vessel matching the structure's dimensions.
- ✓Denisovan Scale Recalibration: Fossil analysis places Denisovans at approximately 190 centimeters (6.2 feet) tall, substantially larger than contemporary Homo sapiens. Because fossilization is statistically rare — the same logic applies to dinosaurs, where hundreds of millions of years of existence yielded only hundreds of thousands of specimens — the known Denisovan record likely represents a fraction of actual population diversity, making extreme size outliers plausible and relevant to "giant" narratives across ancient cultures.
- ✓Kailasa Temple Construction Problem: A documented experiment at Kailasa Temple in India, carved from volcanic rock, had large workers using hardened steel pickaxes remove only a roughly six-inch-wide, half-inch-deep section of comparable rock after hours of exhausting labor. Hydraulic jackhammer penetration depth falls short of tool marks still visible inside the temple's narrow corridors. A separate historical attempt to demolish the structure using approximately 100 workers over two years produced negligible damage, making conventional copper-tool explanations mathematically incoherent.
- ✓Exotic Metal Signatures in Ancient Cuts: Research on granite samples from Karnak and Dashur found straight-line cut marks — indicating a non-rotary cutting method — embedded with exotic metal alloys the Egyptians lacked the heat capacity to produce, plus three elements typically found only in nuclear reactor cooling circuits. Microspherules (formed only by cosmic impacts, volcanoes, lightning, or industrial processes) appear at Baalbek at three per centimeter versus one per square meter in typical meteorite sites, suggesting high-energy plasma interaction with the stone.
- ✓Baalbek Foundation Pre-dates Roman Records: Roman builders kept detailed construction records for the temple structures at Baalbek, Lebanon, but have no recorded documentation for the massive stone foundation beneath them. That foundation includes stones estimated at 550–600 tons, with one exposed face measuring 44.5 feet long. The visible discoloration and erosion differential between the foundation layer and upper temple walls indicates the base is substantially older — potentially pre-flood — and may share builders with similarly scaled stonework beneath Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.
What It Covers
Joe Rogan and researcher Tyler Engle (Instagram: baseforge.us) examine physical and textual evidence for Noah's Ark at Mount Ararat, Turkey, alongside broader questions about pre-flood civilizations, megalithic construction technology, Denisovan genetics, plasma physics theories, and whether ancient cultures possessed sophisticated knowledge systems that modern archaeology systematically dismisses or misinterprets.

- •Plasma Physics as Alternative Construction Technology: Researcher John Hutchison produced laboratory samples in the 1980s using Tesla coils and frequency generators that caused metal gelification and object levitation. Analysis of those samples by researcher Bob Grigner found the same microspherules present in unexplained ancient stonework. This low-energy plasma physics approach requires no power-grid-scale energy (unlike CERN), operates at room scale, and produces transmutation effects — suggesting ancient builders may have used resonance-based plasma manipulation rather than mechanical force, explaining tool marks no modern equipment replicates.
- •Temple Networks as Consciousness Infrastructure: Egyptian temple complexes along the Nile function as sequential initiatic training systems, each temple addressing a distinct philosophical or historical lesson. The architectural progression — wide outer courtyard narrowing to an acoustically tuned inner chamber with incense and restricted sensory input — mirrors documented methods for inducing altered states. Spontaneous synchronization physics (where metronomes on a shared moving base entrain to a dominant frequency) provides a mechanical analogy for how these environments may have deliberately entrained human brain-wave states to specific frequencies associated with particular deities or knowledge domains.
Notable Moment
During a discussion of Egyptian burial chamber hieroglyphs from the Book of Caverns, Rogan and Engle pull up imagery showing headless figures with elongated, multi-appendaged limbs unlike any standard Egyptian iconography. Neither mainstream academic sources nor AI analysis could identify them beyond vague descriptions of "stylized human-like figures," leaving their meaning entirely unresolved.

Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out. The Joe Rogan experience. Train my day. Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. Tyler. What's up? What's happening, brother? Thank you very much for being here. I love your fucking Instagram. You you have a rabbit hole of an Instagram, dude. It's so Your latest one on Noah's Ark is really fucking interesting because I knew about the scans, but I did not know about the connections to the Sumerian text and how he was referred to on the king's list. Yeah. Yeah. Let's I sent it to you, Jamie, just to start off just because I wanna really blow up your Instagram because it's so good, dude. Thanks, man. My pleasure. I it's so many times where I'm doom scrolling. I find that I'm like, oh, I'm learning something. This is justifiable. So this is it's called baseforge.us. That's Tyler's Instagram. And this is all about these new scans. And they dug into it today, I think. Today or yesterday. It's been And two days. They think that they hit petrified wood, which is really interesting. This whole thing is very weird, but let's let's just hit this. New scans from Turkey, Mount Ararat, the Noah's Ark location. They got a new little drone out there that's using the same technology that they used to find the Hawara Labyrinth in Egypt recently. Mind you, both of these were not taken seriously by the mainstream. I'm still skeptical, but the evidence is getting a little overwhelming because the earth is not lying. Mount Ararat is almost 17,000 feet high, straddled by two of the saltiest lakes on earth and a dry one to the south. How did it get there? Most people confuse the flood with the Younger Dryas event. That is way too far back in history. The nearby town of Sharupak was buried in 50 feet of mud. That mud was dated very close to the mud that is covering this structure. But Sharupak is very interesting. That is where Noah was from. The ancient Sumerians called Noah Zayasudra, the last king on the Sumerian king's list before the flood. These guys were a megalithic culture, meaning they could work really big, really hard rocks. Their temples are so destroyed, there are 10 ton stones just laying out in the middle of nowhere that got thrown off the top of a mountain. But that's very important because these guys could work really big stones. And right by the site of this arc are these things. What are these things? These are called drogue stones. You see the hole in the top of them? You fit a rope or a chain through that. They're anchor stones. They're found in ancient Greek and Roman ports. What they would do is suspend them off of the boat to keep it stable in rocky water or anchored. Noah's Ark didn't have a mast or anything to steer it. It was the largest ship ever built …
