It’s kind of a fun show, but often Josh Gates ends up digging in the dirt in a staged ‘discovery’ of some artifact that was planted there by the archeologists who really discovered them and planted them there for the show. Gates would always get all bugged eyed and excited and shout with excitement at finding some coin, triket or relic.
But in this case, it sounds like they really found something significant on their own. I hope Josh doesn’t have an aneurysm on camera.
This “discovery” was a complete fake. The skeletons and artifacts were uncovered 20 yrs ago by archaeologists and then back filled in with loose sand to protect them.
Gates is a charlatan 1st class. And the so-called lost chalice was the spout off a broken jug which was lodged upside down
they really found something significant on their own. I hope Josh doesn’t have an aneurysm on camera.

“Gates would always get all bug eyed and excited and shout with excitement.”
