John Anthony West appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss various esoteric topics, ancient civilizations, and historical anomalies. During his appearance, he discussed several notable books that aligned with his alternative perspectives on history and human consciousness. He brought up Hamlet's Mill by Giorgio De Santillana and Hertha von Dechend, describing it as an extraordinary yet opaque work written by MIT historians of science. He used this text to explain how ancient myths serve to describe the interplay of cosmic principles rather than functioning as mere fabrications. Additionally, West discussed Forgotten Civilization by Robert M. Schoch, which focuses on the role of solar outbursts in the human past and future. He also recommended The Dead Saints Chronicles by his friend David Solomon, noting that it is subtitled A Zen Journey Through the Christian Afterlife and compiles accounts of near-death experiences. Through these literary references, West illustrated his deep interest in alternative archaeology, ancient wisdom, and the mysteries of human existence.
