Editorial Reviews
It's a year that many have prophesized will bring a catastrophic end to life as we know it. Whatever is in store a massive cosmic collision, a global environmental disaster, an Armageddon-like religious showdown, or a more subtle transformation many believe that 2012 will mark a major shift in the history of our planet. But what is there to substantiate such fears?
A detailed, historical investigation of this chilling prophecy is the mission of Nostradamus 2012 an exciting HISTORYTM special that casts the doomsday warning in a frighteningly modern context.
December 21, 2012 is bearing down on us with alarming speed. Whether or not we are able to collectively heed the warnings and affect a course to avert disaster may be the defining moment of the modern age.

I watched this when it aired on History Channel in January. It looks great - you can see where they spent your cable subscription and ad dollars - and they interviewed some interesting people, many of who certainly deserve to be heard ... but then the producers use narration and fast cut editing to prevent them from expressing themselves accurately!
The experts are denied the chance to really go into any depth and the editor chose soundbites that are as sensational as possible. These people have much more to say and they say it fully and clearly in "2012: Science or Superstition" (recommended alternative or supplemental viewing).2012: Science Or Superstition

This is a complete rip-off! I bought this thing only to find that right at the beginning, the author makes his one-and-only connection between Nostradamus and the Maya calendar, and it is wrong! He says that in a newly found group of drawings by Nostradamus there is one that shows a picture of the sun along with a lion. This, he says, links the sun with the constellation Leo. Since Leo lies in the direction of the center of the galaxy, this links Nostradamus with the Maya calendar because the calendar ends in 2012 when the sun, at the equinox, is in line with the center of the galaxy.
This is wonderful, except that the center of the galaxy is in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius! Sagittarius is a constellation of the Zodiac, but it is nowhere near Leo! The author says the Maya calendar follows the cycle of the precession of the earth's spin axis, which is about 26,000 years. This is wonderful, except that the Maya calendar has a period of 5125 years! 2012 is merely the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next, it does not say that the world is going to end. Nothing in the Maya culture predicts disaster at the end of the calendar cycle. This is like saying that we should expect doom at the end of every year instead of celebrating New Year's Eve!
There is nothing, anywhere in the book or the DVD that links the Maya calendar with anything that Nostradamus ever wrote! If he wants to write a book about Nostradamus, let him write a book about Nostradamus. Oh, that's right, he already did that! If you want to waste your money, go ahead, but don't do it on this piece of rehashed junk!

I will try to avoid repetition of past reviewers but I wanted to say that this was an interesting documentary. The issue that I have with it (as with other documentaries) is that it strongly favors a lot of superstitious, end-of-the-world scenarios. The meaning of the Nostradamus quatrains is still heavily debated, since it is all in code and cannot necessarily be taken at face value. I enjoyed the documentary but it definitely gets one stirred up a bit.
There's another documentary, 2012: Science Or Superstition, that gives a bit more about world enlightenment, etc, rather than just strictly different ways Earth can get blown up. When it comes to the Mayan calendar theory, no one can even translate the Mayan language 100%, too much of the material has been destroyed. If you watch this documentary, don't let yourself get riled up by it.
