America Unearthed Season 1 Episode 2 Medieval Desert Mystery

In the second episode of America Unearthed season 1, titled "Medieval Desert Mystery," host Scott Wolter sets out to investigate some strange artifacts found in an isolated area of the Mojave desert. The artifacts, which include pieces of metal and stone, have been dated back to the 14th century and are thought to be of European origin.

Wolter begins his investigation by meeting with a local prospector who stumbled upon the artifacts while exploring the desert. The prospector tells Wolter that he believes the artifacts are proof of a secret medieval expedition to North America, possibly led by the Knights Templar.

Wolter is intrigued by this theory and begins to do some research into the Templars and other medieval explorers who may have ventured to North America before Columbus. He uncovers some evidence to support this idea, including reports of a mysterious ship wreck found off the coast of Nova Scotia that has been linked to the Templars.

To learn more, Wolter travels to Europe to meet with experts on medieval exploration and the Templars. He learns that the Templars were skilled sailors and navigators who were known to have traveled to far-off lands, including the Middle East and Africa. Some scholars believe that they may have even made it to North America.

Back in the Mojave desert, Wolter goes on a trek to find the exact location where the artifacts were found. He meets with a local expert on desert geology, who helps him navigate the treacherous landscape. Along the way, they come across other strange formations, including an ancient rock carving that seems to depict a knight on horseback.

Finally, Wolter reaches the spot where the artifacts were found. He conducts various tests and analyses on the pieces of metal and stone, hoping to uncover more clues about their origin and purpose. He also meets with local Native American tribes to get their perspective on the artifacts and to learn more about the history of the Mojave desert.

In the end, Wolter concludes that the mystery of the medieval artifacts in the Mojave desert remains unsolved. While he found some intriguing evidence to support the theory that the Templars or other medieval explorers may have made it to North America, he did not find any concrete proof. Nevertheless, the investigation raises some fascinating questions about the history of European exploration and the possible presence of medieval knights in the New World.
