I love that show! I think it is fascinating.
But he never closes out on a subject. It’s always an investigation pointing in one direction and then he hops a plane across the country to look at something else and tries to connect the two items. Or he’ll see something real, like a petroglyph, and read WAY too much into it without considering more realistic options.
The Egyptian treasure in the mysterious mythical Grand Canyon cave was a prime example. The helicopter chick says that the FAA prevents them from flying below the canyon rim and he answers back with “so the government won’t let you take me to where I think the cave is?!?” And he wants us to believe that a cave that was too difficult for him to find and reach could somehow store tons and tons of Egyptian gold that was taken there at a time when Africans didn’t even know that our continent existed, then stored in this one cave that’s impossible to get to. Oh, and it’s supposedly big enough for 50,000 people to fit in.
I’m glad that you find it fascinating and I’m not knocking you at all, but the few episodes I saw made me believe that this guy has some serious mental issues and delusions of grandeur.
By the way, has he ever found a single legitimate ancient artifact? Or is he like the bigfoot hunters that keep chasing and never finding?
