This is a really fascinating presentation from a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Podcast. Highly recommended:
His previous appearance on the same show is also very much worth a watch:
It covers everything from geology/catastrophism to sacred geometry and climate change.
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
― Leo Tolstoy,

He never got around to detailing the 1776 profound occult operation that he started his presentation with? I guess it was to do with the Illuminati?
And he didn't seem to get around to explaining what it is that he, as a Grail knight, should do to balance things?
Which is a bit of a pity, I think.
PS, the secret of the "Great Work" has been shouted from the rooftops, as he claimed though. It's just that no one is listening and even fewer really care or want to know.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

I agree re: the editing. I wish I could find the full version of this video but it doesn't seem to be online at the moment. I will keep digging.
For what it's worth, I also assumed that he was talking about the Illuminati, but I suppose there are other possibilities. 1776 was a particularly spooky year, all things considered.
I would be interested to hear your interpretation of the meaning of Great Work if you have the time and inclination to elaborate.

These guys are talking about my backyard. I lived in Wenatchee. I have studied the history of the ice age floods. They are well understood and have been thoroughly documented. They were caused by a periodic blocking of the Clark Fork River by the ice sheet. Every few decades the ice dam is washed out and the entire Glacial Lake Missoula drains out in two or three days across northern Idaho, western and central Washington state and out the Columbia River Gorge. Some boulders were deposited in the Willamette Valley in Oregon as the ice bergs melted. Apparently, later science has proven a small Glacial Lake Columbia which was formed by the ice sheet in north central Washington, which also periodically flooded.
The theories were first proposed by Harlen Bretz in 1923 to ridicule by his geology peers, who were committed to the idea that catastrophes only happened in the Bible. It took several decades for his theories to be considered proved. Now, research continues as his ideas are expanded and refined.
Yes, these were cataclysmic events, but they were limited to Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. It was not one cataclysm caused by comets hitting the earth. These guys are lying.
The floods are called the Missoula Floods or the Bretz Floods. Here is a website about this fascinating story: http://www.iafi.org/floods.html

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that they are "lying". There are plenty of other possibilities to be considered in that regard. Given that this is only a podcast, it would be probably be fairer to read what he writes in his book (wherein he apparently cites peer-reviewed studies) before writing them off as liars or bullshit artists.

Graham Hancock wrote a book "Footprints of the Gods" about a global catastrophe, so you might guess that he would interpret everything in view of proving his own theory. The book is interesting in its own right; however, he has a writer's agenda, so listen with a grain of salt.
"All that is necessary for tyranny to succeed is for good men to do nothing." (unknown)
James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."
Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."

It was called Fingerprints of the Gods but I think you are right about his interpretive approach. If you listen to the podcast, though, you will see why he does that. He presents quite a compelling case. I'm not convinced that he's correct but it will be interesting to see how things develop as new evidence is uncovered.
He does also address Harlen Bretz' work directly at around the 1hr:50 mark. To the layman (i.e., me) the Hancock/Carlson hypothesis seems to make more sense than the currently accepted version of events.
