Scott is a forensic geologist, author, researcher, and television host best known for America Unearthed, where he investigated controversial artifacts, ancient sites, pre-Columbian contact, hidden history, and unresolved mysteries across North America and beyond. Based in Minnesota, Wolter is the founder and president of American Petrographic Services and is known for developing archaeopetrography, a scientific approach used to study the age, origin, and weathering of inscribed stone artifacts.
His work first came to wide public attention through investigations into the Kensington Rune Stone and the mysterious “Hooked X” symbol, which became the foundation for a body of research connecting medieval runes, the Knights Templar, sacred geometry, early transatlantic contact, and alternative interpretations of North American history. His books include The Kensington Rune Stone: Compelling New Evidence, The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America, Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers, Cryptic Code of the Templars in America, and The Greatest Templar Tale Never Told: The Sinclair / Wemyss Journals.
At Disclosure in Mackinaw, Scott will share developments from his continuing research into Templar history, hidden documents, coded symbols, and the deeper question of what has been preserved, concealed, or misunderstood about the origins of Western civilization. His recent work has focused on the Cremona documents, the Sinclair/Wemyss material, and the highly controversial Yeshua Scroll investigation, including claims related to a recovered or copied autobiographical text attributed to Jesus and the question of whether handwriting, cipher, and document evidence can open a new chapter in one of history’s most guarded stories.
Whether viewed as forensic inquiry, hidden history, or a direct challenge to the accepted timeline, Wolter’s work asks audiences to reconsider the evidence left in stone, parchment, symbol, and code — and to ask what history looks like when the artifacts are allowed to speak.
