ANCIENT HISTORY EXPERT: ‘What If Ancient Egypt Was More Advanced Than Us?’

About this episode

A conversation with Ben van Kerkwyk about the potential advancements of ancient Egypt and the mysteries of human history.

This week on The Karl Stefanovic Show. A mind-bending conversation with Ben van Kerkwyk exploring some of the biggest mysteries in human history. From the alleged labyrinth buried beneath Egypt, to the possibility humanity has completely misunderstood ancient civilisations, Ben breaks down the theories capturing millions online — and why some researchers believe advanced engineering and knowledge may have existed thousands of years earlier than we think. Karl asks the obvious question: If discoveries beneath Egypt could rewrite history… why aren’t people like Joe Rogan or Elon Musk funding the excavation themselves? The conversation dives into black holes, consciousness, lost technology, ancient construction techniques, and whether modern society is more fragile than we realise. It’s one of the wildest conversations we’ve had yet. Watch now.
