From claims of Old World contact long before Columbus to mysterious inscriptions, unusual archaeological sites, ancient navigation and controversial evidence that challenges conventional timelines, Rick takes us into a very different version of American prehistory.We also discuss one of the stranger traditions associated with early exploration of the continent — the claim that King Arthur, or figures connected with the Arthurian world, may somehow have reached America centuries before the accepted European voyages.
