America Unearthed (2012)
Fake History, Bunk Science, Mildly Entertaining (Spoiler Alert in Links)
As an avid reader of actual history and someone who is interested in archaeology, I found this show to be sad and infuriating. The host claims to have credentials that he does not have and uses false experts to support his outlandish claims. He consults actual experts then dismisses their expert advice if they disagree with the hypothesis he is trying to prove. If you have any background in academic history or archaeology, don't waste your time on this show unless you just enjoy shows like Ancient Aliens or Finding Bigfoot for their entertainment values alone. If you are uneducated and BELIEVE in pseudo-science and conspiracy theories then this is a show you will love. Personally I find it to be bunk history and junk science made up to entertain people who believe everything they see on TV. Here is a website with reviews of the shows hosts credentials and a blog with reviews of each show that I found informative and right on the mark. http://www.jasoncolavito.com/apps/search?q=America+Unearthed
