New Travel Channel show ‘Mysteries and Myths with Megan Fox’ coming later this year
There isn’t too much out there any sexier than a good archaeological mystery, though I suppose Megan Fox might make that short list. But don’t worry: thanks to the Travel Channel, we won’t have to choose! The network has just announced a brand-new show featuring the Transformers actress trekking across the globe examining the truthfulness of humanity’s most legendary places and stories.
Mysteries and Myths with Megan Fox (which appears to be a working title) “will delve into some of the greatest mysteries of [all] time, including whether Amazon women really did exist or if the Trojan War was real,” the network said in a press release announcing the new venture.
Many fans of Megan Fox — along with Megan Fox detractors — may not be aware that ancient history and mysteries have always been a driving interest for her, and the Travel Channel execs are delighted to enlighten viewers.
“When it comes to debunking the myths around some of our greatest historical mysteries, Megan Fox’s passion for discovering the truth is just visceral,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel, and Destination America. “We are as delighted to have her fresh and unbiased perspective on these events as we are to have Megan in our Travel Channel family,” Henry added.
But Megan doesn’t need some male exec to convey her passion for researching these historical mysteries! “I would describe myself as a seeker,” said Megan, who will also receive credits as co-creator and producer of the show. “A seeker is someone who is never content to have obtained enough knowledge. History only gives us a one-sided view of the truth. That’s something I know from personal experience.
“My own history has been rewritten by other people who had a vested interest in changing the narrative,” Megan continued. “I haven’t spent my entire life building a career in academia, so I don’t have to worry about my reputation or being rebuked by my colleagues, which allows me to push back on the status quo. So much of our history needs to be re-examined.”
Mysteries and Myths with Megan Fox is set to begin filming in June, with four one-hour episodes expected to premiere some time later this year.
