Carlson represents one of the most rigorous independent syntheses of catastrophism, sacred geometry and precessional astronomy outside academic geology. His core thesis — that a cometary impact cluster at the Younger Dryas boundary (~12,900 BP) destroyed an advanced antediluvian civilisation and reset human history — is corroborated by mainstream impact-proxy evidence the Comet Research Group has published in peer-reviewed geology journals. His Masonic and Hermetic framing places him in a lineage stretching back to Renaissance natural philosophers who encoded cosmological knowledge in architectural proportion.
Evidence
- Carlson's foundational claim is that the Channeled Scablands of Washington State — long attributed to glacial meltwater floods by J Harlen Bretz — are evidence of a catastrophic deluge triggered by extraterrestrial impact, not mere ice-dam failure.
- His collaboration with the Comet Research Group — particularly figures like Allen West and James Kennett — provides the stratigraphic backbone: nano-diamonds, platinum-group element spikes, shocked quartz and magnetic spherules concentrated in a black mat layer dating to roughly 12,900 BP across four continents.
- Carlson's sacred geometry work draws on the Hermetic and Pythagorean traditions, arguing that ancient monumental architecture — the Great Pyramid, Chartres Cathedral, Stonehenge — encodes precessional cycles, Earth-commensurate measures and cosmic ratios that constitute a deliberately preserved warning system.
- As an active Freemason of 45 years, Carlson argues operative Masonry transmitted this geometric cosmology from pre-Flood sources through the medieval cathedral-builders.
- Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock's joint Joe Rogan appearances brought catastrophism to tens of millions of listeners, forcing a public reckoning with Younger Dryas impact evidence that institutional geology had marginalised for two decades.
