What the? Global Event on May 25, 2009 - History channel ?

History channel recently aired this alarming doomstay advert annoucing a 'global event' for May 25, 2009 ?. Whether infact this 'global event' is' merely some smart advert for some new 'tv program' or not remains unsure...
Could it be ufo Disclosure (i doubt it) or some new discovered bone that changes creation theory ? .. who knows? but looking at the programming for that day it kind of reveals the purpose ( ie the airing of Decoding The Past: Mayan Doomsday Prophecy)
The advert has stirred debate & gone viral now - so i guess if its a marketing poly I've also fallen into their trap as well! .. eitherway do you think this 'global event' could be of any importance ?

"The world is coming to an end on December 21, 2012! The ancient Maya made this stunning prediction more than 2,000 years ago. We'll peel back the layers of mystery and examine in detail how the Maya calculated the exact date of doomsday. Journey back to the ancient city of Chichen Itza, the hub of Maya civilization deep in the heart of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, to uncover the truth about this prophecy. The Maya were legendary astronomers and timekeepers--their calendar is more accurate than our own. By tracking the stars and planets they assigned great meaning to astronomical phenomena and made extraordinary predictions based on them--many of which have come true. Could their doomsday prophecy be one of them? In insightful interviews archaeologists, astrologers, and historians speculate on the meaning of the 2012 prophecy. Their answers are as intriguing as the questions."

it's probably they realised they've not taken exactly the material of the world view-questioning discourse of late and made it into a laughable strawman argument, so they'll do something which mimicry to a proper disclosure will frustrate us conspiracy/ufo/new age/etc nutters a great deal while making it even harder for anyone to be taken seriously on the topic(s) with mainstreamers.. blahdiha.. I'd like to brush this off and not allow them to frustrate me but I suspect I'll end up watching it still given the slight chance of some earnestness.

Yeah, I noticed this advert too! Can't remember what was on at the time, but it surely grabbed my attention. I thought one of two things: They're preparing people worldwide for something that we aren't "in on" as of yet, or that it was just a marketing ploy, like you say ;-)

What the hell... there is a commercial that shows important dates and says to watch History on the 25th... but I think this is a fan made version..

The Mayans are gone. Dead. Vanished. How the hell would they know anything? Their society wasn't too successful so why believe anything that they wrote. Besides, they didn't say that the world was coming to an end, it's just when their calender ran out. They didn't say anything, as a matter of fact, THEY HAD NO WRITTEN LANGUAGE. As for the advert, so what? Since when is the History Channel privy to future events. Get real.

It might be something related a program about the 'Origin of Species' of Charles Darwin. As you remember, this year marks the 150th anniversary of this great book.

It's a special about the 43 million year old fossil they announced last week. It's possibly one of the "missing links" in the theory of evolution.

Unfortunately, it is about the lemur : http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Story?id=7603618&page=2

The last sentences says : "History plans to air its two-hour documentary, titled "The Link," on Monday, May 25."

What's up with the all-seeing eye?

Its not about UFOS. If you watch the commercial closely, you will noticed something important.

"The All Seeing Eye" <-- Each of the events being dated have to do with conspiracy theorists. It has nothing to do with aliens of UFOs, or you would see a date for 1946. You haven't.

Its a program about secret organizations, and what they are or not being accused of doing. Its that simple.
