The Official Website of Robert M. Schoch

Welcome. Below are some important and timely announcements. A great deal of additional information – such as regarding my publications, research highlights, education, and so forth – can be found via the navigation links. Thank you for your interest in my work.

I am on Twitter and Facebook (as time permits): @RobertSchochPhD

A special note for those visiting this website from Russia (originally posted 20 March 2022): My wife and I wish to tell you (and we beseech you to believe) that the leader of your country, via your country’s media which he controls, is feeding you lies about the war in Ukraine. It is propaganda. Your leader has launched a brutal and unprovoked attack on a sovereign country and a peaceful people. Their cities have been decimated with relentless bombing, their citizens killed or injured, millions of innocent people have been displaced. What is happening is a humanitarian crisis. In a referendum by the United Nations, 141 countries voted to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine. The sanctions levied upon your country represent the world’s united cry of outrage at what is happening, and its united endeavor to help a country that wishes to remain independent. Your leader will not accept this and so, in what seems like a megalomaniacal fury, he is bombing everything: schools, children’s hospitals, theaters, innocent civilians… Journalists and news organizations from every country across the planet are covering this unfolding disaster. Outside of Russia, we are seeing the truth of the situation. Unfortunately, you are not, as we understand it. Please do not believe the lies that your leader is feeding you. This posting is our endeavor to break through the virtual iron curtain he has erected around you, insulating you from the ugly truth of what he is doing and the immeasurable suffering he is causing.

Promo for Dr. Schoch's Boston University master class video trailer

In a Nutshell

This short trailer for a master class I gave at Boston University years ago offers the broadest strokes of my research. My book, Forgotten Civilization, offers much more. (The 2nd, revised & expanded, edition was released in 2021.)

Promo for two important books by Robert Schoch

Forgotten Civilization, En español!

The 2nd (updated & expanded) edition of Forgotten Civilization is now available in English and Spanish! I hope you have also enjoyed Origins of the Sphinx.

The Ancient Burial of Egypt?

In this article Katie and I question whether or not Egypt, in ancient times, might have been intentionally buried – in similar fashion to Göbekli Tepe.

Promo for Robert Schoch's article on SIDA, a Solar-Induced Dark Age

Rising from the Ashes of SIDA [Solar-Induced Dark Age]

This short article summarizes some of my recent research. I hope you enjoy it.

Promo for Schoch and Ulissey children's book: Adriana's Ancient Mysteries:
The Great Sphinx

Our Children's Series

For inquisitive children and (perhaps more so) for adults young at heart. Available in German and Italian (we hope to find an English-language publisher soon).

Promo for tours with Robert Schoch in 2020 - 2022

Upcoming Tours

COVID forced a postponement in the tours I had arranged with my friend, colleague, and professional tour organizer, Grzegorz Poplawski. We have just posted new dates for Egypt (with an add-on to Jordan) and Turkey in 2023!

The Writing at Göbekli Tepe...

...brings together an ancient Anatolian script and cutting-edge plasma physics. (We follow the evidence where it leads.)

Promo for new documentary that is in the works

Documentary in the Works

Katie and I, with the not-for-profit ORACUL, are working on a new documentary regarding the antiquity of civilization. This trailer incorporates shots from our Jan. 2020 trip to Turkey.

Screen capture from October 2020 of Robert Schoch Interview with Joe Rogan posted to YouTube

Rogan and Schoch

We thank Joe Rogan for the wonderful interview, seen on YouTube by close to 5 million people (as of Oct. 2020). Mr. Rogan has now moved to Spotify. The interview can still be viewed, but one must create an account first.

NOTES TO VISITORS:

1) Although I have appeared on television programs and at conferences where the topic of "ancient aliens" has been a focus, I am personally not an advocate of this hypothesis. In my opinion, the known evidence points in other directions.

2) I have no connection to or association with the Robert Schoch Foundation.

3) Please note that a fair amount of "information" regarding me found on the Internet is simply incorrect. And please remember, Wikipedia in particular admittedly upholds the status quo. My research has been challenging the status quo for decades, which doesn't make me their favorite person.

4) I own two domains on the World Wide Web, robertschoch.com and robertschoch.org. Others have purchased my name as a domain. I have no control over this, or what is posted on those sites. The Web is the ultimate experiment in free expression, and I understand this.

Again, thank you for your interest in my work.
