Expedition Unknown Season 8 Episode 108 Josh Gates: Safer at Home

Josh Gates, the host of Expedition Unknown, is just like the rest of us- adjusting to life during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, that hasn't stopped him from exploring the mysteries of the world. In this special episode titled "Josh Gates: Safer at Home," he takes us on a journey as he uncovers some of the most intriguing stories of history and culture from the comfort of his own home.

As the world experiences a lockdown, Josh turns to his own backyard, quite literally. From his home office, Josh begins his quest to uncover the history behind some of the world's greatest mysteries. He uses his skills in storytelling and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life to present the unknown in a captivating manner.

Josh's adventure begins with a focus on how the pandemic has impacted various travel destinations, particularly in Egypt. The country's tourism industry has been greatly affected, causing economic setbacks. Egypt is known for the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx, but Josh takes us on a tour of less-known sites that are worth exploring virtually. He talks about the different tools he uses to connect with people from different cultures all over the world, highlighting how virtual tours can bring destinations to life while preserving their cultural heritage.

In the next segment, Josh investigates the age-old enigma: the Loch Ness monster. The world-famous creature has been shrouded in mystery and speculation for centuries, but with a lack of visitors to the site, the monster, which is supposed to live beneath the lake's surface, has disappeared from sight. Josh uses this opportunity to interview local experts and researchers in order to learn more about the history and myths surrounding this mysterious creature.

Another mystery that Josh delves into is that of the lost city of El Dorado, the legendary city of gold. Though academics have largely deemed the legend false, Josh speaks with those who still believe in the city's existence and have dedicated their lives to finding it. While virtual tours do their best to bring the ruins of ancient civilizations to life, there's nothing like seeing it for oneself. So, to get closer to the heart of the mystery, Josh explores the theory that the city may still exist and has yet to be discovered.

The last segment focuses on one of the most intriguing mysteries of the modern age: Area 51. UFO sightings have been a hotly debated topic for decades, and Area 51, the top-secret US military base located in the Nevada desert, has been a source of speculation and conspiracy theories for as long. Josh takes the opportunity to interview experts and attempt to debunk, or prove, the theories linking the base to conspiracies of extraterrestrial life forms.

Throughout the episode, Josh offers insights and expert opinions on everything from cultural artifacts to paranormal legends. With his trademark wit and affability, Josh brings a fresh perspective to these age-old enigmas. This episode of Expedition Unknown reaffirms the unwavering commitment of the show to discover the world's most fascinating secrets, no matter the constraints thrown its way.
