America Unearthed (2012)

Episode Overview

Forensic geologist Scott Wolter delves into artifacts adorned with ancient Hebrew inscriptions, exploring their potential connection to the Lost Tribes of Israel, who vanished from biblical records in 722 B.C. His journey takes him to Tennessee, where he examines the Bat Creek Stone, a debated artifact with Hebrew script discovered in the late 19th century. Next, he heads to Ohio to investigate an ancient mound resembling a Hanukkah Menorah, a site that piqued Thomas Jefferson's interest. Finally, Wolter travels to New Mexico, where he encounters petroglyphs that might predate Hebrew writing. Across the country, he uncovers compelling evidence suggesting Jewish presence in America long before Columbus arrived.
