Can These Inscribed Stones Solve The 400-Year Mystery Of The Lost Colony Of Roanoke?

In 1587, over 100 English settlers vanished from Roanoke Island, leaving behind only a cryptic carving. For centuries, the "lost colony" has remained America’s most enduring mystery. Forensic geologist Scott Wolter investigates the Dare Stones - a series of inscribed rocks that claim to chronicle the colony’s inland journey and grizzly end. Using X-ray analysis on 16th-century maps and forensic testing on ancient quartzite, this documentary explores whether history books have ignored the evidence of what truly happened to Eleanor Dare and the survivors of Roanoke.
