(SPOILER ALERT - Contains brief reference to recent episode) I had such high hopes for this show and have watched every episode since the premiere, but...
This production is the biggest load of bunk imaginable proving once and for all that anyone with a video camera, a pretty assistant and an accent can sell a show. I LOVE the concept and tracking down history is a passion, but this is not so much tracking down history as justifying a very large expense report.
The breathless excitement Ashley invokes as he spins tales of unseen connections would be exciting to the viewer were it not for the utter absurdity. Like the two pieces of rock in Israel that somehow lead him to conclude that not only do they represent King Solomon's ring, but point the way to its location as well, resulting in a helicopter ride over the Vatican in Italy.
You can actually get glimpses of his trusty assistant smirking or holding back laughter as he weaves his web of intrigue. They sure put this on the right channel because it is absolutely fiction, just a little short on the science.
