A scientist has claimed that astronauts may soon uncover the remains of a long-lost human civilization that once lived on the Moon 50,000 years ago.
Author and geologist Gregg Braden told podcast host Joe Rogan that evidence of this ancient city was kept from the public by the US and Russia during the Cold War.
However, during the interview on Wednesday, Braden noted that emerging superpowers China and India plan to televise their findings once upcoming expeditions reach the lunar surface.
The two nations are planning to broadcast their lunar missions using live feeds from mission control and cameras on their robotic landers and rovers, streaming on national TV, social media, and official space agency apps.
China’s robotic Chang’e 7 mission is set for 2026, while India’s Chandrayaan-4 drone is now likely to launch in 2028, with manned missions for both set between 2030 and 2040.
According to the scientist, who has written about the possibility of life on the moon and Mars, astronauts will discover archeological structures covered in languages that people will be able to recognize as being written by human cultures.
‘The evidence suggests they’re from us, from a time in our past, a cycle of civilization where we did great and beautiful things by working together until we destroyed one another through war, and that we’re repeating that cycle,’ Braden claimed.
Braden has previously stated in books like Deep Truth and Gaia TV’s Missing Links that humans on the moon came from a long-lost Earth civilization 50,000 years ago, which developed space-faring technology before destroying itself in war.

Author and geologist Gregg Braden has claimed that there are ancient structures on both the moon and Mars which prove lost human civilizations traveled through space

NASA has not conducted a manned moon mission since 1972. Braden said the next ones conducted by other nations could televise their findings in real time
Current scientific data, including NASA’s Lunar Sample Compendium and high-resolution images taken of the moon, show no evidence of artificial structures or inscriptions on the moon.
Braden claimed that photographs from NASA’s Clementine mission revealed structures on the moon with 90-degree angles, which he argued don’t exist in nature and suggest they were built by an ancient civilization millennia ago.
He linked these lunar structures to similar geometric shapes in Mars’ Cydonia region, like the famous ‘Face on Mars’ and several pyramid-shaped forms, which he believes date back 50,000 years ago based on the relative dating of rock layers by scientists.
NASA has dismissed claims that there are structures on Mars, calling strange building-like images ‘natural formations.’
As for what proof he had of this world-changing theory, Braden cited unconfirmed stories from Apollo astronauts who allegedly saw structures and writings while visiting the moon, suggesting a cover-up by NASA and Russia 50 years ago.
Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin allegedly witnessed a large UFO or metallic structure on the Moon’s far side during their 1969 mission, with radio transmissions describing it as a “base” before NASA abruptly cut the signal.
The unverified encounter was recounted in conspiracy literature like the 2001 book Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle-Blowers by Mary Bennett and David Percy.
Anita Mitchell, who was married to the late NASA pilot Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon in 1971, told the Daily Mail: ‘He always felt that there were UFOs out there, because so many of the pilots and astronauts had seen something.’

‘I think when our space program was active, there were broadcasts from the lunar surface that were cut off, and astronauts had seen things that they were not allowed to see and not allowed to share,’ Braden claimed during the podcast.
‘Some of them are leaving this world now, and on their deathbed, they can’t believe that this hasn’t been made, made public already. So there have been recordings and videos and things, and I think they’re authentic,’ the author continued.
‘They’re going to see inscriptions in languages that we already recognize. And that will be the smoking gun,’ Braden declared.
Braden and Rogan argued that there was even more evidence suggesting human history may extend beyond the conventional 200,000 to 300,000-year timeline, citing discoveries like a debated million-year-old skull from China.
The fossil has been linked to the extinct species known as Denisovans, suggesting modern humans or our close relatives existed far earlier than records have shown.

A recent discovery of ancient skull suggested that Homo sapiens began to emerge over one million years ago, pushing back our species’ origins by 400,000 years
Study author Chris Stringer, an anthropologist at the Natural History Museum, said the ‘landmark’ findings offered an important window into our evolutionary past.
‘Fossils like this one just show how much we still have to learn about our origins,’ he said.
Other DNA studies of ancient humans have also revealed that modern humans interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans, pointing to a more complex and potentially older human race than previously thought.
Braden claimed that, during this ancient time in history, human genes were intentionally modified by an unknown event that propelled humanity to become advanced beings.
He highlighted the 2005 study of human chromosome 2, which carries genes that help control many body functions, like brain development, vision, hearing, and immunity.
While scientists have attributed its creation to a natural mutation, chromosome 2 has displayed a strange fusion of two ancestral chromosomes that have the signs of modern gene editing.
‘The kicker is that we can now look at the DNA and reverse engineer it and say, what did it take to get where we are?’ Braden said, calling the evidence of advanced ancient humans ‘the smoking gun.’
