Legend Quest (2011– )
Embarrassment to archaeology
8 August 2011
I was so hopeful that SyFy had something with this series...but I was wrong. I am a real life archaeologist and the amount of work we have to do to even get a small idea of what we are trying to find is enormous. This crackpot makes wild guesses and gives us all a bad name. My way of explaining his research and outrages assumptions is: if there is fish on the menu of the restaurant in which he is eating...then Jesus must have been born in the basement. Not only does he make wild assumptions, and act like it is his superior intellect that leads him to these conclusions but he searches for things we are not even sure really exist. Or even better yet he whole heartedly assumes they have supernatural powers. The only redeeming thing about this show is that it takes us to really cool archaeological sites, otherwise, it isn't worth the time. It is an embarrassment to the field of archaeology. I could say more but the other reviewers are doing an excellent job letting you know this show is terrible.
