America Unearthed (2012)

Episode Overview

In 1200 AD, while Vikings were exploring North America’s East Coast, new findings indicate that another adventurous group might have been reaching the New World from the opposite side of the globe. A group of hikers on Maui uncovers an enigmatic obsidian spear point, prompting an investigation by Scott Wolter. As he traces its origins, he uncovers evidence suggesting the artifact originated in Mexico, adding to the growing proof that Polynesian navigators could have journeyed there and back. Scott is left wondering: if they reached Central and South America, did they also make it to North America?
