(More customer reviews)Do not expect any "evidence of disastrous consequences" as the previous reviewer did - take this documentary at face value - please read the Editorial Review.
I personally believe that the History Channel has done an outstanding job delivering this documentary - it is quite remarkable to cover so many topics within only 50 minutes, including the predictions of the Mayan Civilization, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelations, the Chinese oracle of the I Ching, a web-bot crawling the internet to predict the future, balanced analysis of doomsday predictions by respected scholars, views of skeptics, etc.
This is a brief historical overview of available informational materials such as predictions about a possibility of a "doomsday" in December of 2012. Please do not expect any miracles from a 50-minute DVD, yet it is an excellent source to provide you with the topics for a further research, if you are interested in researching and studying this matter in depth. Overall, no one can be 100% certain about the future, yet we can be prepared spiritually to withstand an unexpected natural disaster, if any.

***The year famously red-flagged by the Maya has popped up in many other end-of-the-world prophecies. Could we be so short time away from annihilation? Decide for yourself after viewing this DVD ***A surprising number of sources, both ancient and modern, agree when the world will end ***On-site investigations and revealing dramatizations flesh out the sobering prophecy ***Respected scholars offer balanced analysis of doomsday predictions ***Common wisdom has it we prepare for our future by understanding our past. But did the ancient prophets already know the future? Are we living now in the world they predicted? In this enlightening and often unsettling series, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® revisits the prophecies and divinations of the Ancients and traces them to the modern events they may have been predicting. But what if we have no future? What if life on Earth is destined to end in 2012? A surprising number of prophets - from ancient oracles to contemporary internet-crawling software "bots" - point to December 21, 2012 as the End of Days. Could the concentration on this date be merely coincidence, or is there something deeper behind it? DOOMSDAY 2012: THE END OF DAYS undertakes a sweeping examination of these fateful forecasts. During this hour, consider the ancient Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching, all highlighting the same terminal date. Then learn of a new technology - a web-bot crawling the internet to predict the future - that has independently concluded there's no need to plan a New Year's 2013 Party. Hear from skeptics who point to a long history of "Failed Doomsdays;" then reflect on the disturbingly accurate track-record of many oracles of doom throughout history. As the year 2012 ticks ever closer is there any reason to believe these doomsayers?
