When AiPT! asked me to review the new six-part Science Channel series, America’s Lost Vikings, I was apprehensive, but a little hopeful. First, it was on the Science Channel; that’s safe, right? Also, it’s headed by two archaeologists, Blue Nelson and Mike Arbuthnot. I don’t know either man, so I did a little digging. Blue Nelson... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Curse of Oak Island: The Story of the World’s Longest-Treasure Hunt.
From time to time I get sent books to review. The last one I did was the Lost History of Ancient America, and wow. So when the publishers of Randall Sullivan's new book, The Curse of Oak Island: The Story of the World's Longest-Treasure Hunt, reached out to me I warned them. Sure, I'd love... Continue Reading →

Irish Freemason Ritual Bath-houses in Pennsylvania. America Unearthed S1E8.
So after I had my rant about this episode, I decided rage quitting the episode was a bad idea. That said, I really am going to try and keep this brief, (for me). I wanna jump into this episode and skip my usual critique of the art-film at the beginning. I want the readers to be aware of... Continue Reading →

The Origins of the Oak Island Saga Pt2: Smith’s Cove and Boobie Traps.
Despite the lack of treasure found on Oak Island, there appears to be something strange about the whole thing, and that's enough for some adventurers. The Money Pit is far from the most intriguing thing on, or around rather, the island. Many think this possibly man-made feature is the reason for flooding in the Money Pit. Since the discovery...

The American Stonehenge on Mystery Hill – America Unearthed S1, Ep 6.
Yay! We're about half way through the first season! I grossly underestimated how long it would take to review this series. There is just so much that needs to be addressed in each episode, it's daunting. I am learning to break-up the posts into smaller posts that I can then link you too for more information. It's...

The Origins of the Oak Island Saga and the Old Money Pit – Oak Island Saga pt 1.
The ongoing saga that is Oak Island is back in the news again. Mainly due to the current claims of finding an ancient Roman sword in a ship wreck off the coast of said island. Which isn't entirely true, as we'll discuss later in another post. Until we're able to get to those posts... Continue Reading →

Ancient Celtic Egyptian Mithra Cults in Oklahoma – America Unearthed S1, Ep 5.
I'm going to try and reign these reviews in a little. As much fun as they are to write, they get a little epic. As usual if you don’t want to read through the whole break down, feel free to skip to the In Summary section at the bottom, but as always, if you have a comment or question... Continue Reading →
