Plot Synopsis
LOST SECRETS is a one-hour docuseries that follows historian Justin Jampol, as he journeys around the world to unlock the mysteries of the past held within recently discovered items, revealing covert histories that have unexpectedly, and unknowingly, changed the world we live in. Using state-of-the-art scientific testing coupled with an insatiable curiosity, Jampol's globe-trotting investigations reveal how these mysterious objects can hold the real truths behind pivotal moments in our history that we thought we already knew. From unearthing a mysterious medal that may hold the secret to WWIII to discovering the space race was a cover to weaponize the cosmos, Jampol unveils why knowing the truth about our past makes it relevant to understanding our present. In the season opener, "Nazi Dark Magic," Jampol gains access to a trove of recently uncovered documents from the archive of infamous Nazi, Heinrich Himmler. Himmler's private wartime archive contains many types of military files, but one thing stands out to Justin as unbelievable: astrological wheels for Churchill, Stalin and even Hitler himself. Jampol sets out to investigate the Nazi leadership's deep fanatical belief in the supernatural, and how there may have been a plot to harness these mythical forces to win WWII. Additional episodes for "Lost Secrets" investigate: if a Viking woman may have been the first to discover America; an obscure 19th century report that could prove that Meriwether Lewis' death wasn't actually a suicide; and question whether espionage by former slaves helped the Union win the Civil War.
