Myths lead us to perilous adventures in search of money and fame. Will it be possible to find the treasure or will the voyages end in failure?
Ever wonder if Noah's Ark actually exists, or if the Holy Grail's supernatural powers provide eternal youth? For some, these seeming legends are an authentic reality. MYTH HUNTERS tells the gripping adventures of the ultimate quest seekers who believe in the myths and are on a mission to prove their historical accuracy.

Myth Hunters Season 1 features the true stories of quests to discover legendary objects...The Da Vinci Code meets Indiana Jones!
From the Nazis' search for the Holy Grail, to the Americans who hunted for pirate treasure in Vietnam; from the true story of the crystal skulls to the mystery of King Solomon's mines - this series uncovers the truth behind some of the most fabulous, romantic and deranged treasure hunts in modern history. Includes all 13 episodes from Season 1

6)  The Lost Sword of the Samurai
The Honjo Masamune is perhaps the greatest Japanese sword ever made. Forged in the 13th century by the great sword smith Masamune it became the ceremonial sword of the ruling Tokugawa shoguns for 250 years. After their fall from power in 1868 the great sword continued to be passed down the generations into the 20th century, but in the aftermath of the Second World War it disappeared.
The Honjo Masamune is perhaps Japan's most legendary sword, but no one knows where it is. Forged in the 13th century, it became the ceremonial sword of the Tokugawa samurai dynasty for 250 years. Since 1868 it was passed on from one generation to the next, but after the Second World War it disappeared. It may have been melted down undetected in occupied Japan, but experts believe it may have made its way to the United States as a souvenir. Today it would be worth millions and collectors hope that the lost sword of the samurai will one day be found.
