In New Interview Scott Wolter Says "America Unearthed" Dead, New Shows Under Consideration

4/25/2016

112 Comments

 
Scott Wolter recently appeared on The Transformation Highway podcast to promote his upcoming 2-hour appearance at the New Living Expo this coming weekend. During the interview, Wolter conceded that his H2 series America Unearthed is dead, and he said that History Channel executives told him that the reason the program could not be moved from H2 to the main History Channel is that “you’re too smart for History.” Wolter said that he is actively seeking new television opportunities, including a potential new History Channel show about Knights Templar and Freemason conspiracies. 
He began the interview with a summary of his latest claim, that the Kensington Rune Stone contains a series of numbers related to Freemasonry. Once again, he asserts that he believes that this reflects a secret stream of knowledge dating back to the Middle Ages or even the First Temple period and not, as logic might dictate, evidence that Freemasons carved the stone in modern times. Indeed, Wolter claims that the Masonic degrees are identical to the “Mysteries of Isis and Osiris” from Egyptian times.
 
Wolter also announced that he will be testifying in legal proceedings in Texas later this summer as an expert in forensic geology. I can’t imagine how that’s going to go if opposing counsel knows how to use Google.
 
As is typical for a Wolter interview, he spends a good chunk of the 44-minute run time discussing the Kensington Rune Stone, the sine qua non of Wolter’s fringe career, and he admits that since there was no scientific protocol for dating such a stone objectively, he and his team “kind of just made it up” in developing a protocol to prove that it was medieval.
 
Wolter claims that the reason there is no evidence of Templar incursions into America is because they were “secret missions” and therefore intended to be kept hidden. He rehearsed his frequent claim that the rune stone is intended as a land claim for the east coast of the United State to the farthest reaches of the Mississippi watershed, and he says he is confused about why anyone would doubt this claim since the rune stone writes that the visitors intended to “take up land” from Vinland westward. He continues with summarizing his claims about the so-called Venus Families of southern France who supposedly were dualists and monotheists. Oddly, that would probably make them Manicheans, and we recall yesterday that the Manicheans had the books of the Nephilim!
 
Surely this material becomes boring through too much repetition, but I must say I am confused by how Wolter can both claim that the Venus Families are followers of “monotheistic dualism” and also worshipers of a god and goddess. Monotheists would seem to have only one god, not two, but I guess he believes that God is a hermaphrodite who appears in two forms. It’s not weirder than the Trinity, which is one god in three forms, but it isn’t exactly consistent.
 
He adds that America is the New Jerusalem of Revelation.
 
At the halfway point, Wolter switches to his usual complaints that “academics” aren’t willing to accept his work on the Kensington Rune Stone because they refuse to admit that Jesus was a mortal man buried in the Talpiot Tomb in Jerusalem, something he claims is the inevitable consequence of accepting the reality of the Rune Stone. Wolter isn’t much for distinguishing between facts and inferences. The logic works only if the Rune Stone is genuinely medieval and if the Rune Stone contains secret codes and if the secret codes were created by Templars and if those Templars continued in secret after the suppression of the Templars in the early 1300s and if the Templars had secret knowledge of the Holy Bloodline of Jesus and if the Holy Bloodline of Jesus actually existed and if that Bloodline remained unbroken for hundreds of years and if that Bloodline traced back to first century Jerusalem and if a secret cult honored the tomb of Jesus and if etc., etc., etc. Each link on the chain is debatable, and one link does not imply the reality of the whole chain.
 
The show’s host asks Wolter to comment on a “channeled” book about the secret life of Jesus’ grandmother, and I don’t think Wolter understood that the book was “channeled” from the spirit realm when he endorsed the idea that the “truth” is coming out about how horrible the Catholic Church is. In a bit of irony, he accuses the Church of hypocrisy for endorsing and supporting Nazi ideology, while he himself has excuses his own use of Nazi sources in his book Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers as “irrelevant” to the information Nazi archaeology provides--because the Nazis stole Catholic secrets! Get your story straight: Are the Catholics and Nazis in league or opposed?
 
After this, Wolter explains his involvement with Masonry, where he is now a 32° Scottish Rite Mason, and he says that he’s planning a final book in his fringe history series. “I’ve got it now,” he said about finding the “truth” behind history.

"Too smart for History". Interesting statement when applied to Scott Wolter. I can somewhat agree with that, he is probably smarter than the bunch who pretend to run that pawn shop, travel the roads going to yard sales, hunting alligators, making swords out of scrap iron and cutting down trees. After all you would only need an I Q of about fifty to be smarter than the people who appear on the History Channel and only about forty to be smarter than the History Channel executives.

The History Channel latches on to any kook with a bizarre fringe theory. A new show coming out shows that the Templars colonized earth and it was their ship that crashed at Roswell. Hitler was a Templar as was Elvis Presly. Masons are just guys under homo suspicion that love playing dress up.

his·to·ry
/ˈhist(ə)rē/ noun
A continuous, systematic narrative of past events as relating to a particular people, country, period, person, etc., usually written as a chronological account.

That is the definition of the word "history" just so we're all clear. That being said, I offer my opinion that history itself whether learned in a classroom, depicted in a painting or photograph or dug up who knows where by who knows who, carries with it a singular and unimpeachable fact since the beginning of time and that is perception is its greatest enemy. It always has and always will fall victim to those charged with its narrative.

You are correct that the person in the DaVinci "Last Supper" is supposedly John, but he was John the Beloved apostle, not John the Baptist. While there is no way of knowing who he/she in the painting really is, Wolter's idea that it could be Mary Magdalene is interesting and worth looking into.I appreciate that Wolter is doing. that and hope that more of his work is televised, since I can't go along with him,

I am a realist...I do believe there are many historical truths that have been and will continue to be hidden and/or maintained as truth in the history books however Scott Wolter is out there doing the foot work (for lack of a better term) to undo these untruths we have all been told as truth our whole lives!!! His supposed lack of someone else's imagined wit has nothing to do with the fact of the tangled web of lies that he is trying to somehow untangle and make sense out of the dates and recorded happenings!!! It is very easy to judge someone while you are sitting at home on your couch watching a man go up against the world to bring actual truth to our history...(whatever it may be???) I think he simply has a no nonsense attitude toward revealing the answers and not letting nay- sayers bring him down. I believe many of our greater minds throughout history have been a little eccentric, why would Mr. Wolter be any different? I say to all the negative commenters... "If you can't say something nice; don't say anything at all!!!" Now who doesn't grasp the sarcasm I am laying down...jealous much...

Basically, if it turned out that Scott Wolter was correct about Jesus married to Mary Magdalene and having a child, it means that not only Roman Catholicism but all of Christianity is a fabrication with little bits of truth, and tidbits of moral/ethical teachings, and a whole lot of lies.

It would mean that Christianity is utter and pure crap, and I can see why the powers that be are a little afraid of that.

I get the point that his argument is based on supposition based on supposition based on supposition - that it's tenuous at best - but I would argue also that what Christianity presents as 'the truth' is equally tenuous.

After admitting in his own paper, on his own blog, his work on the KRS, other rune stones, etc., is "speculative research", now Wolter admits he and his team invented the criteria for proving the KRS's authenticity.

If he can't help but contradict himself at every turn, why should anyone give him or his claims consideration?

David Bradbury
4/26/2016 03:23:18 am

There was logic behind Wolter's use of old graveyard tombstones to compare the weathering of the KRS, but what the method lacked was rigour- he needed to compare with the same type of rock, in the same climatically extreme area, and most of all he needed to assess techniques for artificial weathering.

Reply

All true, but, I think any objectivity was lost once he became convinced it was genuine. I believe that's where the need to prove it's authenticity overrode the need to let the test results speak for themselves, which became worse when he chose to avoid peer review and publish his findings in a book.

Joe Scales
4/27/2016 10:35:30 am

I could give you a laundry list of Wolter's failed logic in regard to his tombstone comparisons, as well as problematic scientific methodology. His slipshod work riddled with confirmation bias calls into question all he has done before, as well as since; no matter the context. Also given that he could write a book in regard to Lake Superior agates and then be found liable for selling a fake, brings fraud to the forefront as well.

The only thing he can hold onto is that he was the host of a television series on a channel that purported to be historical. That this too is an assault on sensibility, consistently historically inaccurate and grossly erroneous from the first to the last is also a monumental condemnation of his abilities.

That academia ignores him is truly fitting, as to them his mendacity and incompetency is blatantly obvious and not worth their time to dismantle.

Wolter's "hard science" at its base assumes that an infinite number of variables never came into play. He begins with the conclusion that the KRS is authentic and then constructs a fact pattern to confirm his preconceived belief. As often pointed out by many, this is the opposite of science; and why every task undertaken by him deserves the utmost in scrutiny.

Wolter is not a 32˚ Scottish Rite Mason yet. He will be when he goes through the degree on Saturday, May 14. (See http://scottish-rite-mn.org/minneapolis-valley/event-calendar).

I'm hearing from more an more Brothers here in Minnesota about his attitude. He's got a little cottage industry of speaking engagements at the lodge up in Anoka and at the Minnesota Educational Lodge, but he's attracting the same Brothers over and over. Lots of guys actually avoid him, if only politely. He's overbearing when it comes to sharing his theories. He's simply unwilling to listen to others who disagree and cannot read body language and discern that "hey, maybe the guys at this table think you are full of crap."

Again. I have over eight hundred pages that thoroughly debunks almost every point of view this man has with facts. See "The Sacred Towers of the Axis Mundi" and "The Geographic Mysteries of Sir Francis Bacon." This man has ignored so much historical context and taken ideas from others that it is not even funny. I told Scott personally about four years ago the root of the mystery of the K stone is linked to Jamestown. He laughed at me. Now I find he has visited there and discussed this with the Jamestown archaeology staff. It appears Mr. Wolter has woken up to the the truth and is now going to go about telling the story while neglecting to mention that I already discovered all this four years ago after studying and reading for nine years. The K stone and other "mysteries" like this have intentionally been presented to the public and are part of a kind of mystery school involving the First Families of Colonial America in many cases. Stay tuned for the final nail in the Coffin of "Vikings in America" in association with the Kensington Rune. The damn thing is situated right on the border of the Hudson's Bay and French Louisiana.

Hopefully Mr Wolter can find some network to pick up his show. I'm not a very educated man, but have always loved learning about history and have always believed that the history books aren't 100% accurate. I'll just be satisfied watching Ancient Aliens for now until someone gives America Unearthed a second chance and I know some may think I'm crazy for somewhat believing in Aliens, but why couldn't it be possible?

I have been reading through all the comments regarding Mr Wolter and the H channel. I think that perhaps some people may take these things in the wrong light. First is who cares if Mr. Wolter has this or is that. The real point to these shows are to put forth ideas that run along the fringes of main stream thought. Putting out ideas that run contrary to or cause people to question what is taught to us as the only truth is essential to the growth of any scientific field. Second is by challenging what is at this point in time the accepted point of view, the door is opened for scholars to do hard research into what is often considered taboo subjects. If enough people question the status quo eventually researchers will have to delve into the subject. Only by doing hard research will the real facts be brought to light. Third the message will be noticed by more people if presented by Mr. Wolter than by say a dry academic

Closed-mindedness leads to stagnation and peer review one-track thinking. So everything you were taught and believe now has not ever been challanged and sometimes overturned? Young minds need to be encouraged to think beyond the status quo and be open to new pathways that may someday become accepted.
Speculative thinking is and has always been the driving force leading to new discoveries and upending of prior conclusions. Attempting to capitalize on de-bunking of speculative thinking is rooted in the narrow belief that I alone know the TRUTH, and do not attempt to offer alternatives that challange my RIGHTNESS!

I watched America Unearthed for a while but was unimpressed. It seamed aimed at the uninformed amateur rather than the seriously interested pro-sumer. Wolter appeared to be more concerned with creating an interesting tale than providing new tangible evidence.

Again I have to say, I enjoy watching Scot. As an uninformed amateur, which I have no problem admitting, he is scientific and entertaining and I feel like I'm learning something. There's only so much they can put into an hour show. I wish he had a new show coming out!!!

I really enjoyed watching Scott he proved to be very knowledgeable and to the point I look forward to seeing him in whatever show he will be in, in conclusion sometimes the truth hurts some people just don't want to hear it!!
Thanks for the history lesson Scott!!

I really looked forward every week when america unearth was on the history channel...That said i just wanted to vent my anger & say i will not watch the History Channel further. I sort of thought when History channel said scott was to smart for history. I would like to see our history books changed if he seems to have the evidents and it could further be proven. That said nobody no one .else won't tackle it if scott's right.

Scott, is a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason kept in the dark? This whole Mary thing seems blasphemous to me. One thing is certain. God didn't want Hitler to find the Arc. One more thi,g Scott. Do you really think Jesus would have a son out of wedlock? Let alone being raised as a bastard? You need to go back to the drawing board and come up with someone else who fits your 13 theory. Good luck with future endeavors.

Bruce, peek your head up out of a bible once in a while, and you might realize that it’s a story. That’s first things first. Second; I’m amazed that you were alive while Jesus was! You must be old! What’s your secret?! Oh yeah that’s right you weren’t; so you have no idea what Jesus did and didn’t do. Would you have wanted someone to document your sexual escapades for your biography? Would you be able to fit everything that every happened to you inside 1 book? Literally every moment of your life? You’re stupid.

There is so much we don't know and never will but there is writing that called Mary , His companion. Back then companion meant or could mean wife. I would really like to know why there would be such a problem with Jesus marrying and having children. In many scriptures Jesus is referred to as "the man, Christ Jesus" I love Him as the Son of God and my Savior and whether he was married or not doesn't change how I feel or my beliefs.I feel Scott brought up an interesting topic.

What an oxymoron the History Channel refused advertisements from the Son's of Confederate Veterans (SCV) but allow shows that claim aliens helped the Union win the war
I would question any and everything aired on the network, not only should they be ashamed but someone should due and close their doors.
I always wonder about the shows "they" deem should not be aired http://blogs.umb.edu/fiskecenter/2014/12/10/the-history-channels-giant-problem/

This show and it's star is an embarrassment.

I personally think Scotts theory makes the most sense. I don't consider myself an avid church goer but the hooked X makes the most since. Like modern day slang graffiti, not saying it's ok but there's a message for the right eyes to see. I very much notice old historical figures who have ties to Masonry their pictures painted with a symbol "M" as if the secret is kept alive. The Catholic Church would walk the ends of earth to dessimate evidence like that. It's a cycle perpetuated for the right eye to see.There's a secret kept alive through symbols. I feel the negative writers above are free to express your thoughts but to slander science and disregard what makes since, WoW! Watch golf that maybe more up your ally.

I believe the negative comments are from REAL SCIENTISTS who were not impressed, more like insulted, by Wolter's hypotheses as being much more opinion and hyperbole than fact; once he'd made up his mind he'd 'cracked' something, he KNEW it, and nothing or no one (even factual evidence) could convince he was wrong. These experts who know Wolter and/or his work say that he doesn't just 'get things wrong' by accident; he twists the known facts around his opinions then presents the whole as factual history - and they most likely are not.

Those who KNOW him personally, intellectually and/or academically say and write that he is not a very nice person. His opinions are the ONLY ones that matter in nearly every conversation; he is a know-it-all; he's a snob; he has cheated people by selling them fake goods, even though by HIS books & opinion, he's the top authority on the subject - & the courts found him guilty; I have read and listened to some interviews, & he admits HE LIED (not made a mistake or followed a deception) to make his story more interesting - and for what? IMVHO, it all comes down to wealth and fame.

If you are entertained by his lies & half-baked theories, then good for you; if not, then you don't have to watch it.

I don't know Scott personally. His theory conflicts with my belief as a Catholic. I love Scotts show and hope he comes up with another. I always find his shows interesting and fun to watch.Keep them coming Scott.

Whatever his scientific bonafides, Wolter on TV comes off as The New Erik von Daniken, a less literary Dan Brown -- a hustler who ignores the obvious questions that would deflate whatever far-fetched concept he's lecturing his on-camera "expert" (his son, or some other dubious "genius") and leaps leaps LEAPS to the nonsensical conclusion that supports his overarching thesis. Every episode is classic narrowing of the terms of debate so that they fit his conclusion. Bad TV, an embarrassment to scholarship, awful history. History Channel should stick to ancient aliens and the wild-eyed loons with the crazy hair. Or positing Carly Fiorina as an "expert" on anything.

One has to wonder why you spend so much of your time putting down Scott Wolter. I believe it is because he is getting too close to the truth of our real history and your main job is to get the sheep to forget about it!

I enjoyed the show. I felt like he was giving his educated opinion on new discoveries and old. I felt like I had learned a lot after each show and wanted more. I'm very dissappointed it's gone. Maybe he raised to many points that people wanted hidden?

Was this blog created to discuss Wolter's claims or run a hit piece. Wolter's hypothsis have some truth to them and I would like to explore their relevance but instead this sight offers nothing but attacks by a bunch of hacks. I could really care less about his degrees, they mean very little, actually having spent many years in the pursuit of them myself. He likely has an ego and made a claim he regrets but I'm not going to throw everything away based on that alone.

What really turns me off are the negatives in light of actual events. The rune stone was moved, why? The East Bay Walls were built, by who? What did happened to Mary after Christs crucifixion? Who cut the Megaliths? How did huge granite stones get placed in the Pyramids? What is at the base of the Sphinx, the Pyramids? These are all real questions that so called "real" historians and archaeologists aren't answer or even exploring. Further more why is the "History" channel showing social cultural programs like "Axemen" and "Ice-Rod Truckers?"

History is being re-written and covered up so instead of bashing people who take an honest interest in presenting these questions I would say lets support the effort. If anything, new conjectures may uncovered, new historians inspired, at least the effort will move forward.

All of y’all will we feel stupid when he proves all this to be true. I can see y’all are not out there doing the work to put in to find the truth like he is and has been doing,until y’all get out there and put boots to the ground I don’t want to hear shit. He is proving more then any of y’all,oh that’s right you people are that type who want to discredit someone who is actually proving stuff to be true.

P.s. get out there and do your research

His theories are really out there. I mean really far fetched. I have this one friend who tells a far fetched story about a lady who conceived a child without a father. Later that child grew up and died, but then came back to life after a few days! then some guy went up a mountain then came back down with some tablets that were given to him from someone in the sky! And then another guy was able to separate water down the middle of a sea so some people could walk through it! I mean , when do the far fetched stories end! My point is only that maybe sometimes fact and faith get blurred depending on what you already believe. I found his show interesting, a little annoying that every show ended with more questions. But finding interesting facts and artifacts is really cool, that doesnt mean that he always had to connect them in some way. And dont lose your cookies people, I believe in god, but there are some holes in the story you have to admit.

The Narragansett stone episode featured him being surprised it had been stolen. But that was in 2012 and it had been recovered in 2013. He acted like it was an open case for dramatic purposes.

Fringe writer Jason Colavito is at it again. One thing we'd like to know, is how much the Vatican pays him for slinging mud at truth while offering no facts of his own. Typical disinformation agent, except that fringe writer Jason Colavito offers no new evidence for anything, merely comments.
