SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

Shrink by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Hello, what's happening, Dan?

Dan Richards (0:14)

How much?

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Good to see you again, man.

Dan Richards (0:15)

Good to see you too, Joe. Thanks for the invite.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Oh, my pleasure. Thanks for coming on here, man. I really enjoy your videos. Your website, your channel, rather on YouTube, DeDunking, it's really great because it's so obvious, like, it's one of those things where you don't need, like, some big, crazy set or high production values to make something interesting. It's just you with a bookshelf behind you talking about stuff, and it's great.

Dan Richards (0:42)

Well, thanks. I appreciate that, Joe. Yeah, I'm very passionate about this stuff, so it's, I'm glad that people are taking notice and that I'm sitting here talking to you right now, but it's crazy to me.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

Well, you are one of the, you, like me, were one of the early readers of Fingerprints of the Gods. And that's sort of how you got into this whole subject, right?

Dan Richards (1:02)

Yes, I actually had that one pre-ordered from Hastings, because I'd read the sign and the seal.

So I was already like, Graham Hancock's pretty cool. I like the way he's coming at these things. And I saw that there was a thing at Hastings to pre-order Fingerprints of the Gods for like 25 bucks or something. You get like $3 off. And so I did and was reading it cover to cover when I had Graham sign it. And him and Santa both were just looking at how beat the hell it is, right? He had been in a construction truck where we were going job sites for like 20 years.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

That's awesome. So the sign of the seal was that about Ethiopia and the Ark of the Covenant. Yeah. What's your take on all that?

Dan Richards (1:41)

It's interesting. Anytime they won't let you see the evidence, I get like all of my alarm bells go off, right? But I understand why they wouldn't want you to see it if it really is the Ark. I'd like to see, I guess the best thing we could do to test it without seeing the Ark would be to look into the claims that these guys go blind and they show signs of radiation.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Yeah, let's explain to everybody what the claim, that they believe that this one church in Ethiopia actually possesses the Ark of the Covenant, and that these priests that are supposedly guarding this, they all exhibit signs of radiation poisoning.

Dan Richards (2:16)

Yes, they all just exhibit signs of radiation poisoning. They go blind, they die quickly, and then somebody else, one priest at a time is allowed to be like the caretaker of the Ark.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

How long do they live?

Dan Richards (2:27)

They want to stay like a couple of years, something like that. I can't remember. Really? It's been a while, not very long. Yeah, they die pretty quick.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Imagine that job.

Dan Richards (2:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

You get that call.

How much do I love Jesus? I'm going to get radiation poisoning. This is kind of fucking crazy.

Dan Richards (2:44)

Yeah, but there's a lot of evidence in that book that was really interesting, like the Knights Templar statues and stuff in old Paris cathedrals that would lead Graham to Ethiopia. Just all kinds of weird stuff that made it really interesting. Little Indiana Jones. It's like real life kind of Indiana Jones shit. And so I was just anxious for that fingerprint.

Joe Rogan (3:11)

Well, something that has that much radiation that kills people so quickly, wouldn't that be something that you could measure from outside of the church?

Dan Richards (3:21)

You would think that our boys would be all over that shit with the satellites. It'd be like, yeah, that's a spot to watch out for. Send a team.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

Right, right. Because that was one of the speculations about the New Jersey drones, which was really weird, was that there was allegedly, this is part of the speculation, allegedly, there was a warhead that was missing from when, what was it, from Ukraine?

I think it was from quite a while ago. So there was a warhead that was not accounted for, a nuclear warhead. And the thought was that somehow or another, it had gotten snuck into the United States. And these drones had the capability to scan for gamma radiation. And that they were looking for excess gamma radiation, which would indicate that this thing was there.
