Plot Synopsis

UNEXPLAINED AND UNEXPLORED is a one-hour docuseries that follows explorers Justin Fornal and Emiliano Ruprah, who use historical maps as well as modern imaging techniques to examine these and other mysteries. Though no single map holds the whole picture of these mysteries, Justin and Emiliano cross-reference the information held within them, spurring the pair to launch new, in-depth investigations. Expert researchers and laser mapping tools help locate the mythical outposts detailed in these maps and unravel the mysteries behind their disappearances. In the season opener, "Ghost Ship of the Damned," Justin and Emiliano use an unusual map in an attempt to solve the legend of California's Ghost Ship. In the late 1800s, local newspapers began reporting on a mysterious phenomenon in which dozens of witnesses claimed to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a massive wooden ship rising from the desert, more than a hundred miles from the nearest body of water. Ever since, legend has it that there it may be a 16th century English ship, loaded with gold, silver and jewels. Later in the season, Justin and Emiliano investigate whether the Knights Templar secretly brought their treasure to the New World a century before Columbus's voyage to America. Also looked at are clues in maps left behind by the Ancient Egyptians that may help lead Justin and Emiliano to the location of the legendary land of Punt, so revered by the pharaohs, it was known as the "Land of the Gods."
