Bernstein announced on 20 February 2007 that he would be leaving The History Channel and Digging for the Truth and would join
Each episode dealt with an event or subject in history that is a mystery or not completely understood by modern historians. Many of the topics covered are controversial in some respect. Bernstein would mention the various theories that exist on the subject, although the episode may not have explored all of them. He then traveled to various locations to ask questions of researchers, and he often he put himself into situations (e.g., working in a quarry, climbing a rock-face) that simulated the activities of people in the period he explored. Almost all of the researchers he talked to were professionals in the subject at hand, and many of the places he visited (e.g., the inside of a pyramid) are not open to the general public. At the end of each episode, he pulled together everything discussed in the episode to either formulate a hypothesis of what happened or to conclude that what happened remains a mystery.
In late 2006, Bernstein's book Digging for the Truth: One Man's Epic Adventure Exploring the World's Greatest Archaeological Mysteries was published. In the book, Bernstein writes a bit about his past and BOSS, but was mainly focused on adventures he took, many of which were episodes of the series. [4]
