I watch some of these shows for the scenery, big fish, boats & water, entertainment and some knowledge I was unaware of. The shows run from fairly scientific to all out drama and everything in between. When the drama gets too thick I quit watching.

I got a kick out of the coffee guy slashing his way through the jungle to find the lost coffee bean. When he leaves the lost village he leaves by car down the road.

Mather said it’s more likely the stones were made in the late 19{+t}{+h} century by immigrant settlers from Scandinavia who felt moved to create runestones — with hooked X and all — to celebrate their Scandinavian heritage. “In my professional opinion that’s what happened,” he said.

Wow. This guy doesn't need stuff like evidence to form a "professional opinion" does he?

Rhode Island is 46th among the States in Scandinavian population. The vast majority of Scandinavian immigrants were poor farmers who sought land and a better life in the Midwest, not Rhode Island. But we're supposed to believe one of them wandered into Rhode Island and carved something in a lost language they likely did not know in 1890 to "celebrate their Scandinavian heritage"??? Which they had just crossed an ocean to escape.

I watched this Wolter guys series and he’s a joke. He makes GIANT leaps and states things as FACTS that are just his speculations. He can’t prove anything he says. In my opinion he is a fraud.

IOW, Wolter is a perfect choice for the History Channel and their agenda.
