Robert Schoch
Dr. Schoch is a faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University and earned his Ph.D. (1983) in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University. Schoch is the foremost scholar supporting the hypothesis that true civilization existed 12,000 years ago and was decimated by the cataclysmic events that ended the last ice age, c. 9700 BCE. With the late John Anthony West, in the early 1990s Schoch uncovered geological evidence indicating the Great Sphinx is millennia older than c. 2500 BCE. Subsequently, the 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe confirmed Schoch’s assertions regarding the greater antiquity of civilization. Challenging mainstream opinion, Schoch is known through books, articles, television, radio, conferences, and podcasts like Joe Rogan, leaving millions questioning conventional dogma. Schoch contends the catastrophe at the end of the last ice age was induced by solar outbursts, a well-supported hypothesis which is welcomed at the summit as we untangle some of our deepest mysteries. Schoch travels the world with his wife, Catherine Ulissey, in search of a better understanding of humanity’s past. www.robertschoch.com
