Excellent, a Must See

Best movie ever!

A Major Disappointment

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

None of us are perfect but Scott has only put his best foot forward on behalf of not just academia but also for ALL of us, for We the People. Scott has the unique skill set needed to reveal that much of the History that is taught in the public (un)education system, is WRONG. Once You, begin to study History and realize that the "official" narrative is not adding up, then perhaps you can turn a critical eye to the fact that we have ALL been lied to for most of our lives. There is much, much more going on that we have been led to believe. Thank God for people like Scott Wolter who is willing to suffer the brunt of rebuttal in order to help reveal Truth & History. Hooyah & God Bless ALL like minded men & women who are willing to Stand!

I don't want to be overly disparaging about the show because I do think the concept is a good one. I am a PhD student, although in computer science. The scientific principle and research methodology is the same no matter one's major. I am concerned the show strays too far from this principle. The thing is, I get why they stray at all -- I know that PhD research is largely based on other's research -- almost wholly. It is almost impossible to author one's own work outside of already established theories unless one is "well-published and well-known" in their field and fully vetted via years of research based upon the work of others, where one has surreptitiously "inserted" an idea here and there throughout those research papers and had it catch hold as a future topic of research that proves noteworthy. It almost never happens, resulting in theories that are incorrect being carried forward into new research as if they are somehow substantiated and the more that write on these theories, the more substantiated they somehow become. It is like playing a game of telephone, except instead of whispering in someone's ear,each person must write about what each person before them said and then add a little something more of their own before passing it on to the next person. If the beginning statement was not factual, it could be found to all be in vain, and this is the problem I, personally, found with the whole research principle. If one goes up against this paradigm, they run the risk of being ostracized or blacklisted, unable to publish credibly. It's not something most will risk as this can affect whether one receives certain grants, thus funding research, and providing a measure of job security for a time.For this reason, I respect the pretext of the show, in theory. It doesn't follow the rules, and I'm not sure this is bad, however it goes so far to the other side of the spectrum that it calls into question all credibility. Mr. Wolter is a credible geologist who worked at the investigation of the Pentagon after 9/11 and that is respectable, however he seems to have decided he is now on a par with serious researchers who have PhD's and have actually earned their reputations through years of education, hard work, and rigorous research. He has made the entire show into an exercise of proving his OWN theories, and he isn't even fully versed on the predominant research already done, or he refuses to acknowledge it. I watched him in one episode argue with a PhD whose specialization was in that field, which was insulting. I also read his paper on the dubious theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had a child. The idea that there might be a bloodline of Jesus notwithstanding, the fact that Jesus was purported to have several brothers, and thus have bloodlines that had nothing to do with Jesus marrying or having a child, was largely ignored. Instead, Wolter has insisted the bloodline must be because Jesus married Mary, which is contrary to most all literature compiled on His life for 2000 years. It's one thing to dispute what could be an incorrect ingrained theoretical concept by one theorist and quite another to dispute historical documents from many different authors all corroborating the same thing, especially when many had no affiliation to the other. Theologians must have been apoplectic after watching it. It would be like someone trying to prove Hitler had been a closet Christian who secretly was a kind man benevolent to the Jewish people. To argue against the entirety of the evidence is problematic at best.Lastly, I thought the pretext of the show was to highlight areas of the US where we had pyramids, secret tunnels, strange artifacts, and other interesting items. Instead, I find the show serves primarily as a foundation to Wolter's own private theories, where he can put them forward complete with ready audience who are willing to listen and believe what are largely dubious evidence foundations. It bothers me. After all, what has Mr. Wolter really done to merit having his own personal theoretical sounding board that other, more credible, researchers have not done to a much greater extent? Why are his beliefs so compelling as to warrant the perception that they are rooted in real research? Certainly I can think of several credible researchers who are entertaining that would also respect the science and the work already done by others who had gone there before. Even new theories being presented would be handled better by many already in the field. Instead, we get Wolter, who, with his Bachelor's in geology and purported honorary Master's degree, gets to portray himself as something other than what he is, and do it as if he actually knows what he is doing. It really could have been done much better overall -- and by someone who was more deserving of going outside the boundaries of traditional research to provide a compelling argument for some of the items to be found. Wolter is not a bad guy, and this isn't personal - but my advice for him is to earn his way first and don't go away mad, but do just go away and allow the show to be done by someone who has earned their professional reputation the right way.

Every episode I watched came to nothing. Absolutely nothing! The last episode on Montezuma's gold was ridiculous and a great example. He looked at caves above ground and below water that have been known about for years. Then when he can't drill because the owner of the land is "Afraid of the curse" he goes diving. The so called cave is filled with sand, so they make a half hearted attempt at dredging it, then give up because they are cold. Ridiculous waste of time for him and us. Why is this kind of show aloud on TV? What is it's purpose? If History Channel want to make science fiction or adventure shows? At least state that's what the shows are and make them better. At least with Ancient Aliens in my opinion you are entertained enough that the lies are bearable.

OK I was all for this show, and enjoy learning about the country's past. This show is outrageous. He did a show about the Cahokia Mounds, trying to ''prove'' they are somehow linked to all these other mound sites in the country. Please. I live 5 minutes from the mounds, which by the way aren't actually in Cahokia, and basically everyone around here already knows everything there is to know about them. Get your dumb azz kicked out of town trying' to rewrite our history...idiot. If he says he's here in Cahokia one more time I'm going to lose my marbles. This show is incredibly disappointing and misleading. I hope it gets canceled, quickly.
