Archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass responded to criticism from Joe Rogan, calling him the 'worst guest' on the podcast. Dr. Hawass felt Rogan aimed to undermine his credibility through an agenda favoring sensational topics, like Atlantis and aliens—ideas Hawass considers pseudoscience. He reflected on his 25 years of defending the historical integrity of ancient Egypt against similar claims. The discussion on the podcast became heated, with Hawass often redirecting questions to his book rather than engaging directly, which frustrated the audience.
I spent 25 years holding debates against people like Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and John Anthony West, who argued that the pyramids and the Sphinx were built 15,000 years ago by people from Atlantis.
Rogan skewed towards topics 'like Atlantis and aliens', ideas I have long dismissed as pseudoscience.
