Joe Rogan: Diving into the Anunnaki Rabbit Hole
Joe Rogan, host of The Joe Rogan Experience, has ventured into the wild and intriguing world of the Anunnaki, the ancient Sumerian deities tied to the ancient astronaut theory. Popularized by Zecharia Sitchin, this theory suggests the Anunnaki were extraterrestrial beings who shaped human civilization, possibly through genetic engineering or advanced technology. Rogan’s open-minded discussions make this topic a fascinating rabbit hole for fans of fringe theories.
Notable Podcast Moments
Rogan has explored the Anunnaki with guests like Billy Carson (JRE #2160) and Katt Williams, weaving Sumerian mythology with modern conspiracies about Nibiru, a supposed rogue planet. In a 2024 episode with Carson, Rogan admitted he’s less skeptical now about claims like the Anunnaki being real. He even poked fun at the idea during the 2024 solar eclipse, posting on X: “I’m out here waiting on the Anunnaki.” His playful yet curious approach keeps listeners hooked.
What’s the Anunnaki Theory?
The Anunnaki theory claims these ancient beings mined gold, created humans, or left traces on Mars and the Moon. While captivating, these ideas lack solid archaeological evidence and are debated by scholars who argue the Anunnaki were simply gods in Sumerian texts, not aliens. Rogan’s appeal lies in his ability to entertain these theories without fully committing, encouraging fans to question mainstream narratives.
