America Unearthed

America Unearthed was an American television series, the first original series to air on the A&E Networks channel H2. The show premiered on December 21, 2012, and was produced by Committee Films of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The program was hosted by Minnesota-based forensic geologist Scott Wolter, who investigates mysteries and artifacts believed to reveal an alternative history of the North American continent before the United States.
The show was cancelled following the sale of H2. This was confirmed by Scott Wolter on Twitter, confirming that History had no interest in bringing it to the main network.
On February 12, 2019 at a TCA presentation, it was announced that Travel Channel had revived the series with a 10-episode order and Wolter returning. On April 30, 2019, it was announced that the revived series would premiere on May 28, 2019. The Travel Channel canceled the program after just one season.
Predecessor.
In September 2009, History Channel aired the two-hour special "Holy Grail in America", produced by Committee Films, which follows Scott Wolter as he explores the idea that the Kensington Runestone is evidence that the Knights Templar sailed to America about one hundred years before Columbus's voyage.
Reviewer Paul Mavis characterized "Holy Grail in America" as enjoyable pseudoscientific entertainment in the tradition of the 1970s television series "In Search of…". Mavis noted that, "tellingly, the doc never presents any other geologists who have alternative theories about Wolter's findings" but concluded, "who cares if it's true or not? It's fun."
