He’s a philosopher who believes in UFOs and makes the case that ancient mythologies were interpretations of real events, from a potential time traveling “master” race analogous to the Titans in Greek mythology, to other events such as interactions with angels being interpretations of interacting with aliens (who may look like us, a la The Nordics).
His interpretations of mythology are what I really like, he can talk fluently about multiple mythologies and makes interesting connections between deities across various religions.
Interviews with him and Gnostic Informant I think are particularly fruitful.
I just wanted to see if anyone here watches interviews with him or has any other similar researchers in either the UFO or mythology deep dives that they enjoy.
Yes. Jorjani is extremely well read, but also not on everything. He picks and chooses, and refuses to read many texts relevant to his arguments..that is, he falls for favouritism (don't we all). His big gaps pertaining to his mentioned argument are in Sumerian / Babylonian / Akkadian lore, oral myths, most accurate Torah translations and some of the UFO literature (on which , funnily enough , he has written a whole book).
Yet, he is mostly a thorough thinker, after the truth , brave to go where the puzzle pieces seem to fit and generally more well read than 99.9999% of those who make arguments in this area. Wish I had his breadth of knowledge , memory, and rhetorics.
Unfortunately he has fallen for the AI bullshit and thinks LLMs can read his mind and the future. The line between genius and madman is thin....
His stuff on Iranian lore is great.
Interesting, I haven’t met anyone who watched him enough to critique him. The main thing I was disappointed with him on is his pro-Zionism stance, which is somewhat more nuanced than it may sound - it’s more of a support for chaos merchants who push us to react, but ultimately it’s still something I fall in the exact opposite side of the fence as him.
I was looking for recent interviews Jorjani has done and this guy thinks Jorjani is undercover Mossad:

He is Persian and not Jewish and hates Mossad, although hates Iran's theocratic puppet regime well. Very unlikely is Mossad. Listen to more of his interviews. If he is, then he is the best undercover agent Mossad has ever had.
I'm not familiar with his work. Would you consider it to overlap with Michael Tsarion, and Ralph Ellis?
I’ve never heard of either of them. Doing a cursory search on them, they sound similar, although Ellis may be more specialized in his areas than it sounds like Tsarion is. Tsarion sounds a bit more like Jorjani.
Jorjani is not like a Bible specialist or archeological specialist, he’s more of a philosopher who took on the task of “let’s say, just as a hypothetical, that things like UFOs or aliens are real, what would that mean for philosophy, ethics, our basic understanding of the universe generally?” So he delved into the UFO stuff subsequent to being a philosopher and basically an expert on mythologies and world religion.
The UFO question and coming to theories about the capabilities of the technology that would make UFOs possible was what got him to the more out-there hypotheses about the possibility of time travel and how that plays into the readings of ancient texts and mythologies.
The two I referenced originally are fans of each other. If you look for them together on the tube you'll get the clearest idea there. The Diehold Foundation can be technical, but very good. Doug Voight recently passed. He had a theory that technology was found.
Time travel as a theory is new to me. It's not clear to me if there's evidence that Jorjani is putting together in a way others wouldn't, or if he's just doing a thought experiment. Everything I've referenced is very cited.
I am familiar with Diehold, I had downloaded all his videos at some point but I only have checked out a few. It’s interesting research.
Jorjani is pretty involved in the UFO community, so he does round tables with military whistleblowers and such, and he cites a lot of close encounters that witnesses have had over the years. He kind of deduces at points that other historical events could have been encounter phenomena but he’s pretty clear on when it’s his own speculation.
The time travel stuff I’d probably slander his explanation but at a high level it’s “a zero point energy device is by definition also a time machine.” I’d have to rewatch some videos to see what he cites to get there and what is deduced.
One of his lines of thought is, with the acceleration of technology, computing, AI, biotech, you’re getting closer to the singularity and next-level technologies like interplanetary craft, potentially time travel, potentially telepathically controlled things, etc. (a lot of his evidence for what could be possible next-level tech comes from testimony of military whistleblowers of UFO crafts). If you take that data and combine it with UFO/alien encounter evidence, you could logically say “then some entity/beings have gotten to this singularity before us if they have this technology that we’re finding”. If that’s the case, using mythology as a sort of cipher, it’s kind of like the Titans, Olympians, nephilim, etc could be allegories for this more advanced civilization interacting with humanity throughout our existence. The time travel piece isn’t necessarily critical to the hypothesis, it’s more of an addendum.
I’ll check out those guys’ videos. The best Jorjani interviews I’ve seen were on the Break The Rules podcast on YouTube.
I do watch him and I've also been on Gnostic Informants show a few times. That whole crew is on to something.
