EXPLORATION AHEAD.

Lost relics, buried treasureS, & vanished cities

International adventurer Josh Gates is bringing viewers across the globe to investigate and solve the world’s most intriguing mysteries. In the new season of EXPEDITION UNKNOWN, he travels across five continents to dive into a flooded pyramid in Sudan, reclaim looted statues in Cambodia, and discover a pirate’s lost treasure in the frigid waters of the UK. All-new episodes of EXPEDITION UNKNOWN air every Wednesday on Discovery Channel.

In a two-part investigation, Josh travels to the Royal Necropolis of Nuri to investigate alongside archaeologists on the verge of a potentially groundbreaking discovery. Beneath a crumbling pyramid, there may be an undisturbed royal tomb preserved in the darkness of flooded, subterranean chambers. A treacherous dive is the only way to chase a monumental find: the mummified remains of an ancient king.

Throughout the season, Josh brings viewers with him on exciting adventures to Israel as he joins two teams of researchers who each claim they found Bethsaida, a lost Biblical town where Jesus is said to have performed miracles. In the UK, Josh hunts for the greatest pirate treasure ever plundered, and sets out to uncover mysteriously vanished WWI minesweepers at the bottom of Lake Superior. In Cambodia, Josh works to unearth a long-buried temple, and joins the fight to bring the looted treasures of the Khmer Empire back where they belong.

Intrigued by legendary mysteries and driven by insatiable curiosity, Josh Gates is on a mission for answers. EXPEDITION UNKNOWN chronicles his global adventures as he investigates iconic unsolved events, and hunts for lost cities, buried treasures and sacred artifacts.
