Did ancient Egyptians reach the heart of America thousands of years before Columbus? Forensic geologist Scott Wolter ventures into the most restricted areas of the Grand Canyon and the rugged ravines of Illinois to investigate claims of lost Egyptian colonies. From a 1909 Smithsonian "cover-up" of a massive underground city to the mysterious disappearance of Cleopatra’s son, Alexander Helios, this episode examines whether gold-laden crypts and sacred relics, perhaps even the Ark of the Covenant, 0remain hidden beneath American soil. We analyze forbidden maps, "faked" artifacts, and the geological truth behind the legends to discover if our nation's history is far more ancient than the textbooks dare to admit.
