while a broad survey of the accent in the voice-over does not betray it immediately, the accent is definitely scottish and not american. listen to almost any of the vowel sounds in any word and things like the presence of the scottish broad 'o' is easily detected.
eg "...believed lost for centuries, it has now been *found*"
that 'found' is as scottish as they come. canadians are plagued by this sort of thing, as in saying the word 'about' as 'a-boot' rather than 'a-bowt'
