I have followed this story since I was 12 (1969). Every TV special/story I've seen and read about, never found anything of real significance. Great story though.

Nothing more than pulp fiction. If it was there, it would have been found. Too many eyes, airplanes and satellites for a ship laying in the desert to remain unfound.

Well I gotta say.The geological explanation set forth in the show(on how a ship wound up in the desert) seems both bazaar and plausible.

With Reality Series, ... its a wonderful thing to not actually be burdened by "reality"... When you are making up a story getting permits, dealing with crooked bureaucrats, lobbyists, jealous and non productive partners can just be fit in to enhance your story boards....

Genuine "Exploration" is so much more difficult to make happen in the 21st century with all the competing interest groups who use the public's lack of understanding of environmental and sociological issues concerning a free enterprise ethic being bent by some to swindle investors...

I, for one - now like a living dinosaur am lucky to be able to say... "been there, done that"...

Did the Maya Empire relocate to America? How did Merriweather Lewis really die? Where did the Ark of the Covenant end up after being smuggled out of Jerusalem? Explorers Justin Fornal and Emiliano Ruprah use historical maps as well as modern imaging techniques to examine these mysteries in UNEXPLAINED AND UNEXPLORED, premiering Sunday, Nov. 10 at 10 pm ET only on Science Channel.

Though no one map holds the whole picture of these mysteries, Justin and Emiliano cross-reference the information held within them, spurring the pair to launch new, in-depth investigations. Expert researchers and laser mapping tools help locate the mythical outposts detailed in these maps and unravel the mysteries behind their disappearances.

From another source: There were many ships that made it to the Salten Sink as it was part of the Salten Sea. Look at the water line marks all around the mtns and the giant 4 ft long fish fossils embedded as well as 3ft snail fossils. factoid.

though you are probably right, there is plenty of evidence in deserts of lost cultures that remain buried in the sand that is only now showing up with new tech....so it is possible.

4 to 6 million years ago, the area was part of an inland sea. A bit before sailing ships.

It was on late in my area so I dvr'd it. Just watched it. It seemed to end with them digging a couple of holes in the sand. Is this to be continued?

 

[RW]

I watched it. But I watch In Search of Bigfoot reruns too. I have heard of the legend before and was a non-believer before I watched. Sad but it was still the best thing on.

I forgot the /s.

The "s" stands for sociology, for these stories fall under that category.
