Nathanael Fosaaen | Archaeologist Reacts to America Unearthed: Scott Wolter is a Con Artist and This Show is Garbage @NathanaelFosaaen | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I've been good and pissed off about America Unearthed for at least a year now and I decided to air my grievances in reaction video format. Scott Wolter uses some extremely dishonest tactics to convince his audience that Minoans came to Michigan and took a metric buttload of copper back to the Mediterranean to fuel the bronze age some 5000 years ago. His math is bogus. His methods are ignorant. His arguments are invalid. I've had it with his Hancock-grade bullshit.
***CORRECTION***
Wolter's original career was as a concrete specialist, and he was apparently part of the analysis of the concrete at the World Trade Center after 9/11, which is how he claims to be a "Forensic Geologist." Forensics describes methodologies involved in criminal investigation. It does not apply to high-tech analytical methods outside of criminal investigation contexts.
