Riddle of the Newport Tower: Brad Lidge

from UnderGround · host Michael Arbuthnot

Was it just a windmill? From theories of Viking explorers and a Nordic settlement, to the Knights Templar and a pre-Columbian voyage, the origin of the Newport Tower is one of North America’s most puzzling questions. Could this medieval-style stone structure rewrite the story of early exploration in the New World? In this episode, archaeologist and MLB legend Brad Lidge shares his cutting-edge research and a new route to potentially solving the Newport Tower mystery.#archaeology #losthistory #ancienthistory #ancientmystery #ancientamerica #lostcivilizations #prehistoric #norse #vikings #vinlandsaga #knightstemplar #norsemythology #precolumbian #historyfacts #historydocumentary Intro and outro music by ‪Ross Bugden (YouTube: @RossBugden‬)
