Unearthed

I have NEVER seen such a bad series of archeology shows. The theories, assessments and "authorities" sited in these shows are so WAY OFF that they're difficult to watch! Instead of a zero, I gave it a 2 because I kind of enjoyed the torture. It made me feel smarter than these people :)

I just can't keep watching this silliness. The narrator's persistent use of the present tense for historical facts is so annoying that it has become intolerable. This habit is correct when documenting authors in a research paper but not when referring to events that happened long ago in the past. He also refers to current issues with present tense with no differentiation between the two. The errors are grievous, moreover, occurring in every episode. For instance (King Arthur, the one I'm currently watching), the Holy Grail wasn't so much a cup used at the Last Supper as a container to catch the blood of the crucified Christ. Each episode has its own collection of errors; that just isn't acceptable.

I watched the episode about the Tower of Babel. Throughout the the show they referenced the build as King Nebuchadnezzar, which is wrong according to historical fact and the Bible. Fact is it was built by King Nimrod the hunter. Not Nebuchadnezzar look it up, I did

Does no-one else see the carving in the stones at Avery?!?! Those are not just stones, they are eroded sculptures! One of the stones even looks like a sitting elephant. Main-stream archeologists need to open their minds and eyes to civilization being much older than taught.

Each episode is hit or miss. However, very well produced and I especially enjoyed the episode on the Tower of Pisa and Herculaneum.
