Josh Bernstein, a native New Yorker, is a real-life Indiana Jones. As the host of The History Channel's Digging for the Truth, Bernstein travels the world, looking to uncover the greatest archaeological mysteries the planet has to offer. Digging for the Truth, which premiered in 2005, has since become the highest rated program of The History Channel's existence. Josh graciously stopped by to answer a few questions for us.

I noticed that you were born and raised in New York City. How did you go from city kid to an adventurous lover of the great outdoors?

Ah, the most common question I get these days. I go into this at some depth in the first chapter of my new book (Digging for the Truth: One Man’s Epic Adventure Exploring the World’s Greatest Archaeological Mysteries) but the short answer is that I think I was always both. Even as a child, I remember loving camping and being outside. Perhaps the two are not mutually exclusive.
