What happens

America Unearthed was an American entertainment television series and 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 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. The Travel Channel revived the series for ten episodes, again hosted by Wolter. The series broadcast in 2019 and was canceled after just one season. The show has been described as entertaining but also has received criticism for promoting pseudohistory. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
