mig9988 All the other reviews say it all. There isn't any science being practiced on this show. I'm not certain I would have enjoyed this show when I was a curious 10 year old. It's all bunk. Unfortunately, History and History2 seem to be moving away from shows with actual facts and towards these type of speculative, imaginary shows. I'll be getting rid of these channels soon. You can now find real documentaries on the streaming services and actually learn something. Stay away lest your brain hurt or turn to mush.A word to History and H2. You should note that these shows will usher in the downfall of your network. While some folks in America will take these shows at face value and possibly even believe the erroneous information that is spouted by Wolter, it can't last. The ignorant will not remain ignorant for long with the internet available to them. Anyone with a slight curiosity will eventually research the subject and find that the show, Scott Wolter and the "facts" are as real as an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Only not as clever.
tsmith417 Since I live in Alabama I was interested in the episode about Davy Crockett, where he had been deeded land in Alabama (or something like that).There was this woman who had a signed deed and she showed it to Scott. Now if I were the person with a signed deed or I were the one to whom this signed deed was shown, the first, and I mean the very FIRST thing I would do is find a sample of Davy Crockett's signature for comparison, yet this was the very LAST thing Scott did.Then, when he did the comparison and it was blatantly obvious that the two signatures were not the same, he STILL said something to the effect that they might have been written by the same person!They made a 1-hour show about NOTHING! And that's what they do for every episode. "Facts" are shown to be outright falsehoods or hoaxes, Scott takes one tiny piece of something and declares it to be the same as an entire something else, and twists and manipulates everything to fit his pre-conceived notions.I feel sorry for the real experts that Scott talks to. It must be extremely frustrating for these learned people to have to 1) try to explain to Scott that he's a moron and 2) have to watch themselves later on national television, talking to a moron.What a waste of airtime and money. The History Channel needs to either rename itself to the Fantasy Channel or stop broadcasting these stupid shows that do nothing but fuel the tin-foil hat community and their ridiculous theories.
gwynmama OK I was all for this show, and enjoy learning about the country's past. This show is outrageous. He did a show about the Cahokia Mounds, trying to ''prove'' they are somehow linked to all these other mound sites in the country. Please. I live 5 minutes from the mounds, which by the way aren't actually in Cahokia, and basically everyone around here already knows everything there is to know about them. Get your dumb azz kicked out of town trying' to rewrite our history...idiot. If he says he's here in Cahokia one more time I'm going to lose my marbles. This show is incredibly disappointing and misleading. I hope it gets canceled, quickly.
pavlick They just lead you along by the nose for hours, thinking that you are actually going to see something real and concrete in support of their claims, but it never happens. In one episode,they claim that the Knights Templars came to America in the 13th century, bringing with them treasure from Solomon's Temple. They craft elaborate graphics of castle foundations, supposedly taken by hi tech equipment. Then they have guys with metal detectors who claim that they have located 50 ounces of gold underground. Well, first of all 50 oz. of gold equates to about 3 lbs, which is not all that much; maybe enough to craft a small crown, but certainly not enough to represent the treasures of Solomon's Temple. Plus,needless to say, they never find or show you the gold !!!! On another episode, they find someone in Wisconsin who supposedly dug up a Viking sword. Needless to say, they don't focus the camera in on the sword very often, which is more the size and shape of a Civil War short sword than any Viking sword. Then they go to examine some 3 ton stone supposedly with runes on it, but when they get there, the stone has been stolen. This entire series is a waste of time and not unlike when Geraldo Rivera kept us waiting for hours to open a safe brought up from the Titanic, and when it was opened, there was nothing in it but rotting, soggy currency.
