DoomsDay 2012: Decoding
The Past Part 2 of 5
There is a long history of "Failed Doomsdays" so reflect on the disturbingly
accurate track-record of many oracles of doom throughout history. As year 2012
draws near, a surprising number of sources, both ancient & modern, agree
when the world ends. On-site investigations & revealing dramatizations flash
out sobering prophecy. Respected scholars offer an analysis of doomsday predictions.
Our logical wisdom is we prepare for our future
by understanding the past. But did ancient prophets
already know the future? Are we living now in
the world they predicted? In this enlighted & often
unsettling series, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® revisits
prophecies & divinations of the Ancients & traces
them to modern events they may have been predicting.
But what if we have no future? What if life
on Earth is destined to end in a few years?
A surprising number of prophets from ancient
oracles to complex internet-crawling software "bots" point
to Dec 21st, 2012. Is this date coincidence,
or is something deeper behind it?
DOOMSDAY 2012: examins these fateful forecasts.
During this hour, consider the ancient Mayan
Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin,
Book of Revelation & Chinese oracle of I
Ching, all highlight the same date & learn
of new technology - a web-bot crawling the internet
to predict the future, shockingly concludes there's
no need to plan a New Years 2013 Party.
Hear skeptic views to a history of "Failed
Doomsdays" & reflect on a disturbingly
accurate track-record of many oracles of doom
throughout history. The year 2012 grows closer
