America Unearthed (2012)

Episode Overview

On their journey to Tucson, Arizona, Wolter and his son Grant are excited to explore a fascinating collection of crosses, swords, and other relics unearthed from the desert in the 1920s. Among these artifacts is a sword inscribed with a date of 800 AD in Latin, suggesting that Europeans may have reached the American Southwest long before Columbus. This investigation holds special significance for one individual—the grandson of the man who played a key role in uncovering these items. The findings could reveal whether the artifacts are genuine or part of a sophisticated hoax that could alter historical understanding.
