America Unearthed

6. Copper Mines in Michigan

Yeah, I saw the program too. The narrator is a self-proclaimed "researcher" in ancient civilizations. I am disappointed that the History Channel has so few solidly based programs and well-researched units on History. If this Scott Wolter knew anything about archeology, he would have had his samples dated through carbon-14 dating (see a very thorough examination of English and Irish copper mines, including carbon-14 dating of all sites, in "The Oxford Journal of Archeology", The Mineralogy of Bronze Age Copper Minings, 1998, Blackwell Publishers.
This guy has government cover-ups on the brain, cover-ups with no proof or reasonable evidence. It's too bad, History Channel and H2 will very occasionally have some interesting program, but most of what they produce is on the level of "American Unearthed" or "Ancient Aliens".
