NEW YORK (April 30, 2019) – For decades, Scott Wolter has honed his skills in the sciences looking for historical answers within the natural world. Now, he continues his quest for the truth on Travel Channel in the new season of “America Unearthed,” premiering Tuesday, May 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. In the 10-episode one-hour series, Wolter explores some of America’s deepest secrets, digging up mysteries that have been hidden until now. Using his background as a forensic geologist and teaming up with eyewitnesses and other experts in their respective fields, Wolter is determined to find new evidence and ultimately the proof that’s been buried in time suggesting history isn’t what we’ve been told.
“Every day, science finds something new,” said Wolter. “We find new species, discover previously unknown societies and learn that the world isn’t quite what we thought. There has never been a better time to use science to solve the mysteries of history.”
In the premiere episode, “Vikings in the Desert,” premiering Tuesday, May 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, Wolter receives a call about alleged Viking artifacts found in the Arizona desert. Using state-of-the-art XRF (X-ray fluorescence) identification technology and insight from a Viking historian, Wolter starts his search in the southwestern desert. From there, new leads take him to California to excavate a supposed buried Viking ship that might have once sailed America’s vast inland sea and to Mexico to examine a petroglyph depicting what could be Viking travelers. The episode produces some unexpected results and opens the door to further expeditions into where the Vikings went and why.
“Alien Artifacts” – Premieres Tuesday, June 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Scott Wolter receives artifacts unearthed in central Mexico and is intrigued by the scenes they depict: Mesoamerican people worshipping what can only be described as aliens. After learning they’re over 9,000 years old, Wolter heads to Veracruz, Mexico, to investigate for himself. The hunt leads him into caves with strange inscriptions hinting that an unknown ancient society may have had contact with alien life.
“Cave of Secrets” – Premieres Tuesday, June 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Scott Wolter visits a mysterious cave in rural Pennsylvania that made headlines when it was first discovered in the 1980s for reportedly having cultural connections to pre-revolutionary America. Wolter’s investigation leads to the discovery of a strange artifact that may be the remnants of a fraternal society that used the cave for rituals. During his search, he interviews local historians and members of the community, discovering that throughout time, the cave may have been home to some of America’s most important historical events as well.
“The Ripper Unmasked” – Premieres Tuesday, June 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
The identity of Jack the Ripper has captivated the world for over 100 years. What we know about the infamous killer is that he brutally murdered women with medical precision, wrote taunting letters to the authorities and was able to evade capture. However, shocking new evidence of a potential Freemasonic connection, as well as extensive medical research into a 19th century disease, proves pivotal, launching Scott Wolter on an epic hunt. Wolter wants to prove whether or not Jack the Ripper was actually a famous writer who is still beloved today.

What do you think? Have you seen America Unearthed? Will you watch the new season?
I tried to watch the S4 E5 show and I couldn’t finish it. Someone needed to take the camera from whomever was manning it! Stop moving the camera. We can move our eyes to see things. This camera work is, I’m assuming, supposed to try to give one the feeling of looking through our eyes, but my eyes do NOT move like this! Nope, I won’t be watching any other episodes.
We enjoy AMERICA UNEARTHED, SCOTT is Absolutely gifted and truly TALENTED in his field. Scott wants to expose the true history of AMERICA no matter what. We have learned more about AMERICA because Scott has made it interesting and he is determined to find the truth. We hope the Travel Channel will continue to air new episodes of AMERICA UNEARTHED we need people like Scott who are not afraid to ask tough questions and who are not only willing but able to explore the world with the knowledge, expertise and an open mind to get to the TRUE! Thank You
My husband &I love this show…Please we want more
Really enjoy this program. So important to get our history CORRECT. Finding the factual data and then determining the true outcome of historic events is almost like being on an expedition into the past, like actually being there! Plus I admire Wolter, he is not afraid to stand up to the establishment. Travel Channel please continue this program. There is so little INTERESTING programming these days. Thank you. Donna
My husband and I enjoy your program. Scott Walter is very knowledgeable. We look forward to updates
AMERICAN UNEARTH AND SCOTT WOLTER ARE FANTASTIC! TRULY ENLIGHTING! AS A ANTHROPOLOGIST AND HISTORY COLLEGE PROFESSOR I BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING HE HAS INVESTICATED. SCIENCE IS ACCURATE TO 99.99 %. PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW. I AND MANY OF MY COLLEGE PROFESSORS USE HIS SHOW AS A TEACHING TOOL.WE NEED MORE SHOWS LIKE THIS ONE. THANKS FOR PICKING IT UP!
America Unearthed was one of my ‘don’t miss’ History Channel programs. I was disappointed to see the H2 Change and the loss of the program. I’m delighted it has returned. Scott Wolther is one of, if not the best, TV’s most credible investigators and there is nothing about the show that appears rigged
I enjoy watching American Unearthed. I find it very interesting and enjoyable. It’s my time to relax and unwind from life’s craziness and madness. I am very pleased that this show is back. I was stocked when it was not renewed when it offeres so much about our past present and future. Amazing show Scott keep up the good work. And thank you for being brave enough to think and step outside the box.
The Jack the Ripper episode is on now, but handwriting expert Michelle Dresbold matched Francis Tumblety’s handwriting to the From Hell note. Article title “Pittsburgh handwriting expert shares theories on ‘Jack the Ripper'”
I met Scott Wolter a few years ago and I asked why the show had been cancelled. I couldn’t believe the answer. I am so glad that America Unearthed is back, available for us to watch. Please keep it going. We need to learn things about our country.
I like your show America Unearthed. I just don’t like Scotts opinions or comments on his religious beliefs. On the episodes about the Knights Templar. That’s his opinion and it has no room on your show. Mostly on these shows stuff found is proven by fact. Not based on a DaVinci code fiction book. Please Scott keep it real.
Delighted and grateful that Scott Wolverines is back! Cudos to the travel channel and hopefully others who will pick him up and continue this wonderful, educational program for knowledge seekers and folks who aren’t afraid to question what we’ve been taught to believe. Scott Wolter’ s integrity is refreshing and appreciated!
What a great show!!!! I’m a historian in the Virgin Islands and Scott does a great job presenting the facts along the way. Just got cable back after the hurricanes and going to watch every show new and old.
How can I get a hold of Scott? I have pictures I would like to send him of an object I found some time ago, with strange markings on it. I used an email address; swolteramengtest.com awhile back but have not heard a response.
Love the show,glad it’s coming back to expose the truth about our history !!!
