Joe Rogan Experience #2528 - Cassie Coppersmith
In a Nutshell
Cassie Coppersmith argues that precision-machined jade artifacts, lathe-turned pillars, and massive megalithic structures worldwide predate conventional timelines by thousands of years and were created by an advanced lost civilization. She claims later cultures found these works, added crude inscriptions claiming credit, and built cruder versions on top, with evidence including drill marks inconsistent with bamboo tools, water erosion on the Sphinx, and massive LIDAR-detected earthworks at Angkor Wat. The discussion emphasizes that geological evidence, missing advanced artifacts, and global patterns of superior older construction contradict academic timelines and require reevaluation.

Cassie Coppersmith was introduced to Joe Rogan through a video on Derek's Megalithic Marvels channel about ancient Chinese artifacts. The artifacts are made of nephrite jade, an extremely hard stone, and appear machined with precision that exceeds the capabilities of tools attributed to their creators. They are housed in the British Museum, displayed along an entire wall.
The first type is called a sung tube, a tall tube that is circular in the middle and square on the outside with extremely precise geometry. The second type consists of large round Bi discs that resemble giant flat doughnuts, perfectly flat on top. There are precision versions of these artifacts found worldwide alongside cruder versions, suggesting a sophisticated original culture produced the high-precision pieces.
Archaeologists attribute these artifacts to the Liangzhu culture. The earthworks and community are dated to approximately 3400 BC, roughly contemporaneous with Egyptian hardstone vase graves. The artifacts were found in tombs containing thousands of jade pieces, similar to how hardstone vases appear in Egyptian graves.
Archaeologists propose the artifacts were made using strings with sand or abrasives to cut the jade, along with copper tools and stone hammers. The explanation includes a giant smile, indicating skepticism. Drill marks are visible inside the Bi discs, and experiments with bamboo cores were conducted by archaeologists.
