Plot Synopsis

In this one-hour reality series, underwater explorer Barry Clifford and historian Scott Wolter search for the Knights Templar treasure that supposedly rests in 17th-century pirate vessels at the bottom of the Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar. Along with a team of on-land explorers and experts, the duo are attempting to find hidden links between two of history's most legendary sects, separated by 500 years: the medieval Knights Templar and pirates of the 1600s. From exploring hidden caves and burial grounds to ancient stone structures and thick jungles, each discovery unearths clues to their fascinating puzzle.
