Last week I reported on a Facebook claim that History had reprimanded America Unearthed star Scott Wolter for his alternative history views. I spoke with a representative for History today, and the network says it has never spoken to Wolter about his views. The story reported by the Facebook fan page for America Unearthed is categorically false. Officials for the network confirmed that a meeting did take place in March, but this was to celebrate the show’s renewal for season two. Network officials, in fact, not only are proud of America Unearthed but also confirmed that they have no position on the claims made on the program. (Indeed, many network officials have not watched the complete series and were unaware of some of the more extreme claims made on the show.) According to the History spokesperson, History and H2 programs are intended as entertainment only and are not meant to be considered factual.

I think the program went off the deep end at the end of the season. I think the ratings will plummit and the program will be 2 and done. Serously...it is sort of like "finding bigfoot"..after one episode you realize they haven't and if they did you would hear about it in the news before the episode. Too bad since I think they could have approached this topic with a critical eye and focused on debunking all these pre columbian artifacts...when they found one they couldnt or was ambigious..that would then be interesting...

Mr. Wolter is a heck of a lot more educated than this comment and all it's spelling and grammar errors. Of course CC was not the very first to discover America...it's just common sense. Scott does not say categorically that everything he checks out has some hidden meaning. He is just trying to find proof of the many that came before. This is a fascinating show!!

I can see that most of you writing these comments have no idea of facts and events through time. I have been looking at data about these things since I was a child. All these fact are through archeology, and messed with other historians and books available to everyone. If his findings have no facts then explain in your great wisdom why the white house is the almost exact replica of the temple of Jupiter in Baalbeck. .. and explain

You really have no idea do you? You sound like the high priest who questioned Christ, " What good could come from Nazareth". As far as how a Christian talks. You again are off on your history. Peter was a very vulgar man. As a matter of fact he cut off the ear of a man, as well as yell at them for their trespasses against Christ.So the stories go.He also could not read or write. So, I guess you would tell him the same thing you have told me. I'm a man. Sinful in the eye's of God as you Sir are also! To call a brother a fool is one of the worst things to say to another brother in Christ. The difference is your ability to fail safe your inferences with references trying to drag a point at which your probably not even sure of making at this time. Attempting to strip down one's physiology by using an escalated level of intelligence in English, or any other degree you may have, to me Is an abused good. Your very knowledge you have obtained is collaborated ideology and law accumulated from all of us, by all of us, for all of us who seek it in christ's name . In my opinion, the only thoughts you have are the generic form of what seems to be an aggravated bibliography paparazzi. Your new name shall be google. . As far as my diction grammar and spelling. A waste of my time . Why? Most people are common men. Not MIT grads. So, my language , simply put, is humble and simple so all can understand. If that is not true then how did you understand my ill references to, The caves I mentioned through out Europe, but left no comment to the 38000 year old cave that debunks the idea of the Ancient Alien concept. Why? Because it shows a older accepted religion connected to the religion that we are directly referring to . Where depictions of the Anunnaki, show them as giants standing on the necks of smaller men. From different cultures, how is this known? By how they were dressed. Which is accounted in the old testament referring to the stories of Angles fallen from heaven and taking wemon for their brides. As well as the Jewish history of the mountain of Pan, where Azzale and Uzzle fell . Let alone the Nicaea Conference in 325 AD. To that I would add ,The Emperor of Rome of the time ordained the first 4 books not the Conference! So your again correct in your study ,but wrong of the impression that it left. Yes they add and dissolved books. They decided who and what this new God would be. Again these first Christians of Israel These men of the first four books did not carry any books! They carried the gospel of the Son of God . The professed word given to them by the Holy spirit. How ? Christ had to send his spirit after returning to his Abba to them. He was in the likeness of his Abba , he looked like him he was his son . His Abba was in him ,it was the same blood. How could he give himself to him while standing in front of him? But, your title list of books do not include these issues. These are worked out by Our mind.

First , I was humble in asking you to forgive me . Yes I t is God who forgives men . How then can God forgive me if you have not. I also do not follow the King James Bible. I read from the Zondervan Collection. The first writings in the ancient and transposed with no one's in put in ancient Greek as well as Hebrew. Yes I smear the name of Jesus. This name Christ would have never recognized before the Romans gave it to him. Why? The J was not used until the 1600's. So the name is a lie! But, the bigger question is why did Rome lie. In Germany I think to the day his name is Ivous which is a precursor to the name Jesus.

you a princess? I think not!” She said, “No, but I can't understand it any other way.” I had to tell her, perplexed myself, “Then you'll never know.” Being the problem existed with the idea of getting from earth to heaven, how outside a hutch key her mother came up with, do you explain it otherwise?
Raymond Howard
12/16/2013 05:33:19 am
That at this point is the only meaning left to our senses.” Alas, at the time, she still didn't get it, and at 43 years of age, many years later and married to a non-denominational Protestant minister, upon an occasion, I asked her, “Did you ever find out how to get to heaven?” She sounded like she did when she was a little girl, perplexed and anguished quizzically, “NO!” She loves children, and her own are adored, and interestingly enough beyond Magik, she serves as a Children's Ministry Director. Her oldest daughter otherwise tells, and reads stories both to her own children, and to the children of their church... and in her heart, she knows despite all adversities that lie within the soul of her mother, like you, how to get to heaven. 12/23/2013 07:27:05 am

Thank you, Mike. Finally some words of wisdom regarding Scott and his quests. It's a lot better than folks who just go with the status quo because that is what they were taught. We are here to learn lesson our entire lives. I love his insights and I'm glad to see you agree. I don't appreciate people with closed minds. For some reason (probably something to do with their religions) some people seem to be scared stiff of having a truth put right in front of them and they still won't believe anything other than what they have been taught. It's sad, really. Humans are here to discover and learn, not blindly follow.

Regarding factuality: when I first saw Ancient Aliens, I was thinking the program would show both sides of the claims, or set out to prove or disprove, much like what Mythbusters did. Needless to say, I was dissappointed at what I saw, and only looked at a few more episodes just to see what crazy stuff they were doing. It's a shame that a channel known for its past accuracies in historical documentaries has decided not to educate its viewers.

It's not on my homepage, and if you read my biography, it clearly states "author of the Amazon.com archaeology best-seller."

I really do not care if "America Unearthed" is either factual or otherwise ! I enjoy it ! "Decoded" was also a favorite of mine ! Besides along with a lot of false Implications" there are some truths ! Ratings ? Don't care ! With all those "Mayan Calendar" shows on last year that I enjoyed too doesn't mean I take them with a "grain of salt" just as the rest of the Hype" of End of the world theme shows ! First off The Mayan Calendar was just too accurate BUT simply put mislead a lot of people into believing ! However my feelings have always been that changes will be drastic in the coming years (climate change n etc) Mother Nature will exact her revenge n soon ! [Mayan-Georgia] connection ? Maybe I am the one trying to make a connection But the connection I immediately thought of was the Georgia "guide stones" n are very close to the National park in question ! If I seem "out there" so what ! I enjoyed watching most of this kind of programing n I'm not feeble minded just tend to be a disaster "freak" .....

Jason, what is true? If your looking for the Higgs Boson particle, unless you have a Cern excellerator, you're not going to find it, and there are plenty of average people, let alone pseudo scientists, and otherwise Theoretical Physicists, curious that it extists. What these programs like America Unearthed provide, is curiosity. The average person if they look for "truth", their going to find it. It's done by critical thinking, and you know that better than the average person. Yes, you want to seek "evidence." If the program doesn't provide it, then the average person's access to a computer is going to look for what available information there is and filter it by way of their own analysis. You know full well one person reading the Bible is going to talk about Angels, and Nephelim, others are going to be looking at philology first, and work with the poetic aspects of ancient middle eastern yarn utilizing literal and allegorical meanings with metaphors, and come up logically at some point with, ah, ha, extraterrestrial aliens! Granted, until with today's sciences there are better upgrades found for the technology, we are going to rely on everything from spectral annalysis, CT scan, to DNA testing. You want to find the Holy Gral beyond Scott Wolter, then look for it, but mind you, you have only otherwise the Qumran copper plates to follow... and their pretty hard to read their so corroded.

Far as Scott Wolter, and the series America Unearthed, comon people, it's a show... with good alter history, speculation!!! There is alot in the United States, that shows whether pre-history or history, that much was known about the "New World" all along... and no doubt by way of so to speak secret societies. The problem evoked here, in presentation is very evident even today and on into tomorrow that there are just certain concepts some people, mainly Christian that want to hold onto, that really have nothing to do with the reality of Jesus as a person, (which that is all he was or could be) that make him to be in their eyes, conscience... for lack of a better word, "paradigm" think of him only as someone paranormal. The secret about secret societies is there is no secret!!! Yet, with persecution that Cathars, Merovigians, Carolinians, Templars let alone Jews ever experienced from the time of the early Catholic Church on, what else to do but go underground with so to speak "secret societieis?" The many codices, and alter histories that are led into question, if not for the Catholic Church, (an organization that has sequestered, let alone destroyed many ancient manuscripts from either the old world or the new, as the Mayan Codex is exampled, and if to reveal the "truth" amidst all this writing would not exist any longer in today's world... and ergo, so too the Protestant faith as it stands.) much would be accessible for public consumption let alone scholarly review to reveal much that is in question of the program. Usually, nay sayers are there not for the sake of history or science, as the evidence is just too telling otherwise, it is because they feel threatened to their pre-existing establishments of organized religion, in which such concepts... everything from a Jesus Code to extraterrestrial aliens, confronts them and what they think in regards to their own spirt, that is lost without the figurehead of Jesus as conventionally perceived in his execution on the cross. More times than not, there is plenty of evidence that is found, catalogued, and not mentioned publicly, as if one would only read the Brookings Report on the public reception of alien contact alone. This kind of thinking applies to all kinds of mystery and curiosities such as presented on the History Channel in this manner, and so... executives of the series aren't going to overact to the issues as they are, as in their minds... history, science, the body of Christ...Sasquatch, mermaids, and aliens etc.,... are all "ENTERTAINMENT!" Think of that! Oh, and by the way some of those media executives who say they haven't followed the program are already elected and honorary 33 degree Masons, Rosicrucians, if not actually Occulists or Jewish!!! Ha Ha!

America Unearthed is right on some things and off on others. As for Ancient Aliens there is some truth there too. All religious tales have gods coming from the stars. If you want truth look pre Christian. It's to young a religion to explain things at the beginning of humanity. No disrespect to it and it's moral teachings. The older the recorded history the more chance of finding truth is all I'm saying.

Your correct Bob, Christianity is too young a religion, and so is Islam, but between the two, the later in many instances for the history has retained outside its own extremes much of the history of its world intact. Actually the Christian world too, but more on the secular level its intact. Case in point, cosmology of the Universe, as it occurs from the whole universe, with the vastness between galaxies, and intermittency of dark matter, anti matter, otherwise anyone solar system, to us as only being a planet third from the Sun amongst seven others and a planetoid, with one possibly two other wandering ones, Christians that are fundamental will argue their case upon the KJV or derivative thereafter, to bring up expanding earth theories to put square peg in round hole explanations of the morphology of the earth using James Ussher's Chronology coming from the 17th Century... and never you mind all the sciences having come into being since the, between geology, physics, and the social sciences and academics of anthropology, archaeology, genetics, etc.

Mr.Howard,I am fascinated by your vast knowledge of history on so many subjects,would you mind me asking what your occupation is?

Jeff, I see where your coming from... mainly in your dealing with, "the Gang In the Military", without having seen the footage. Meantime, checked ZoomInfo.com, to get beyond the effect of your writing toward the end of your post, because I realized it seemed a bit vague until I read the background afterward why it was... although you were really trying to hit home. Let me remind you of something going back to the June 3, 1943... that the military mostly Navy and Marines being jumped by Zoot Suiters, prior on May 30, 1943 took the issues finally of criminals into their own hands along side the police, and it became mayhem of riots in dozens of major cities across America. While were talking about this, meantime in the last 60 years the pachuco gangs have been romanticized by Broadway, and amongst others, Joan Baez herself when she lived in Redlands, CA, and writing her first memoire', or Autobiography if you will of, Daybreak with her purported interaction with some of the local hanchos during the 50s while going to school, hanging out in preference with them, then singing in the glee club. Graffiti? Seen allot of it in my time, unfortunately. But the problem of what you saw in Iraq, yeah, grandpa and grand uncles taught allot of these guys you were with, how to garret... pocket watches with long chains were not only for keeping time. Italians piano wire, yes... pachuco's, watch chains, and the military figured at the time, jail... long stay, or send them to combat and either they get killed or redeemed. That was then, now is now.... and everything is meant to be politically correct. You shouldn't be fooled, far as racism, of white against Chicano or whatever they want to be called outside their gang affiliations, you know full well otherwise their as intelligent as any West Point Officer, the problem is they were brought up with a chip on their shoulder, and the gang substitutes the actual grain of values that are imbedded in familia, and thus they'll die with chips on their shoulders. Don't feel betrayed, nor continue to feel black listed... just take for granted you are... and your not alone. Far as Hollywood is concerned I could give you one hell of a story, but then I'd have to kill you! I know I don't need to elaborate, if you can just imagine what you experienced, me saying that, is the very tip of the iceberg. Just keep your head high, move forward, and far as big brother... get around to producing your own films and go to local. It takes time, but sooner or later those brown noses will be trying to brown nose you. Just remember... they've got the chip on their shoulder, not you!!!

History channel said this is entertainment only? They should be ashamed of their treatment of the gentlemen at the museum during the Lost Colony episode. The stones he insists are real were proven and confessed to being fake long ago.In addition, DNA has proven the Lost Colony settlers DID stay right in the area. He ignores historical fact then calls others closed minded. Not amused.

I had hopes that this show would delve into real history, those hopes died during the first episode. Now I watch the show for laughs. I admit that I am fascinated by the idea of pre-Columbian European visitors to North America ( I once went up to Heavener OK and saw the ruin stones) unlike Wolter I confess that there is no real evidence to support the idea. Everything that I have seen is either from later immigrants or is an outright fraud.

I am pleased to see the negative comments concerning the show in these comments; it renews some of my faith in the value of an American education.

Hi Mike DAntuono! It comes to this, between religion and science, between creation vs evolution, when all is said and done far as argumentation, then, far as the issues of more recent in anthropology, science and medicine, it doesn't take us out of the nomenclature and semantics of the following, (variously Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens sapiens) are primates of the family Hominidae, and the only extant species of the genus Homo. Homo Sapien, ( Knowing man or wise man), and in being Linnaen about it, Classification, Animal. Being, that the average European has 3 > 5% Neanderthal, and otherwise per population of the planet our DNA is otherwise 99% the same of all so called races, (Viktor Frankl,(26 March 1905 – 2 September 1997) said there are only two types of race of man, the decent and indecent.) and Chimpanzee's and us share all but of about 5% difference in DNA, I'm fine with being able to ape a man barring any fossil record missing of transitions.

Today Scott Wolter examined a rockwall in Rockwall Tx.He did a magnatism test and discovered the magnatism in the rocks all went in the same direction, therfore the rocks were a natural formation. Did he fail grade school science? If you place a nail on a magnet and leave it there the nail's magnatism will be in the same direction. Is that imperical or devine wisdom? Or is Scott Wolter just showing how intelligent he is NOT? I am sick of his fairy tales.

Well, I don't know if Scott Wolter spells magnetism, as magnatism, but what I do know is that when rocks are laid by men/women, where 'magnetism' is concerned in any and all rocks... unless there is some point to align them "magnetically" they don't then uniformally show their pole alignment one to the other in the same direction. Being then in any given random arrangement however otherwise for formation appearance as a stacked wall of rocks or stones, they are going to be 'natural' in formation when they do. Not wise, as in Weisenheimer, just wise in "common sense" of scientific methodology and knowing a rock wall with iron deposit trace or otherwise linearity earth magnetic pole imprint of epochs as rocks form, is going to be different to present day alignment, so to speak set in stone. Last time as to any pole shift is well beyond 6000 years ago, so... Scott Wolter is not brilliant, just practical in the science using the most basic testing needed to qualify the statement, and somebody else needs to go back to school, disregard what they learned in grade school, and take Geology/Paleaontology/Archaeology 101 in Junior College.

Well I never won any spelling bees, and I sure thought I was done with the teacher checking my paper to check my spelling.

I find the show entertaining, and I take Mr. Wolters claims as speculation and theory, and any conclusions he may come to is strictly his opinion.
