Giorgio A. Tsoukalos appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss ancient astronaut theories, alternative history, and related publications. Tsoukalos spoke about Erich von Däniken's book Chariots of the Gods?, recalling how he was first asked about the work before eventually joining the Ancient Aliens television show, and noting that discussions around the ancient astronaut hypothesis were far more taboo when the book was originally published in the 1960s and 1970s. He also referenced Christopher Dunn's book The Giza Power Plant, citing Dunn's professional background as a machinist and engineer to support the argument that ancient structures involved advanced machining capabilities. Furthermore, Tsoukalos cited Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert's book The Orion Mystery while explaining the astronomical correlation between the three Great Pyramids at Giza and Orion's Belt. Additionally, he brought up George Sassoon and Rodney Dale's book The Mana Machine, mentioning the authors' engineering backgrounds to discuss their controversial theory that the biblical Ark of the Covenant functioned as an ancient food-dispensing device.
