  • NGC , DIscovery etc.. used to be good. Now they have become infotainment channels and competing with BS from History Channel. Sad that they present junk science as science.

    BTw, the only good thing about this video is the busty girl in green jacket running with her tits bouncing :-). Watch it at 2:35

  • The only concern of 2012 is the retards who will be killing and looting on the streets.

  • Notice they left out an important detail? Its true this only happens every 26,000 yrs...but thats the Precession of the Earth's Rotation Axis...not the alignment. The alignment happens every year on Dec 21st

  • oh look theyre stupid they must be americans

  • If it happens, rather god kill me than being killed by any other.

  • The history channel is always trying to scare the briefs and panties off of people. I wish they would stop this crazy stuff.

  • wait if the world ends it ends on 21 and december date ends on 31 o

  • this is a bunch of bullshit what a croc

  • The world is always is some kind of trouble...Lets just enjoy the ride

  • The Sun is so wonderful we used to dry our clothes before we get the washing machines.

  • i thought national geographic was a prestigious organization. the 2012 shit they cover makes them now no better than the history channel

  • bull

  • so the Maya are going to bomb Berlin? Sounds more like terrorism and a silly hate crime to me.

  • What crap. I expect better of NatGeo, but I suppose they have become a purely entertainment institution.

  • i 100% agree man, NatGeo on some bullshit

  • lmao, this is some dumb

    the only thing im scared of are the many idiots who are going to be panicking and committing suicide around the so called time

  • Well, if they only take their own lives, I couldn't care less. LOL

  • @khaninator They ran out of shit to talk about, thats why they show the african big nipples every year in there magazine.

  • the only thing that will happen is the galactic centering of the sun. it is been happening for billions of years nothing different.

  • lol getcha popcorn ready!

  • Incredible that even National Geographic is playing to this bullshit!

  • i'm going to commit suicide on Dec 20, 2012 good bye cruel world

  • Don't you want to be around to watch the biggest show of the millennium?

  • good bye cruel person

  • "Rare"?! This alignment Happens every Dec. 21st.....National Geographic i am Very dissapointed In you.

  • sithlord339 i think NG is saying the alignment of the sun with the milky way's center....but you are right in a way....cuz the sun doesn't rotate around the Milky Way like it shows in the video, the solar system itself is always aligned with the Milky Way's center so this video makes no sense.

  • Comment removed

  • The world ends because god tried to throw his shoe at bush also.

  • Humans have been around for 40,000+ years, I think we'll be fine.

  • OH NO! Sell all your posessions and climb to the nearest mountaintop. From this point God will beam you up in the holy rapture. Take my word for it because Nostra Damus predicted it too!

  • lol, someone spam his email or youtube inbox with "2012 is bullshit"

  • National Geographic, I am ashamed of you. I used to respect and watch your TV channel, but not anymore because of this bullshit.

  • I really wish National Geographic would stop wasting time on superstitions

  • NOSTRADUMUS PREDICTED 2012!!!! zomggg

    OH WAIT....HE PREDICTED Y2K TOO!!!! LOL WHICH ONE IS IT HAHAHA

  • well see the only problem with the 2012 theory is that it is complete bullshit.

  • All these ancient cultures, prophesied predictions, and revelations from various religions describe the destruction of our civilization, which involves the energy of the sun in one way or another. This is interesting because Einstein, a well known and respected Scientist came up with a theory called the Earths Magnetic Pole Shift theory involving the Suns radiation that leads to same ending.

  • they believed in human sacrifice to fake gods... so that means if they say worlds gunna end we believe them.... ok w/e natgeo

  • i dont wanna die!!! :( this cant be true... stupid mayans made us believe of this apocalyptic catastrophe just cuz they stopped counting!! i mean come on! they were gunna stop somewhere.... even they got bored just like us.... this is not true

  • To me the Maya were the Jeffrey Dahmer of their time, only because they practiced human sacrifice. In some rituals people were killed by having their arms an legs held while a priest cut the person's chest open and tore out his heart, while it was still beating, as an offer to the celestial and terrestrial cycles. Those hearts didn't go to waste either, as the royal family would have them for dinner.

    Keep that in mind before believing anything they said/wrote.

  • id like to see how you would live your life 5000 years ago

  • FHblaise: You are a little bit later for that, aren't you?

    LOL.

    I'll buy it ... Let us allow the proposition that we are back five thousand years in time. What then? I will keep telling you that cutting my chest open and pulling my heart out is wrong. Self preservation didn't even start ten thousand years ago, it started billions of years ago, with the first living cell. Now, put that into perspective.

  • its easy to say that in the present time in front of a computer

  • Are you saying that from the perspective of the person being sacrificed, or from the person performing the sacrifice? Because for me, I'll bet you one million dollars that the people being sacrificed would've easily said "NO" to the sacrifice if they were given a choice.

    Ya see?

  • @masana2007

    they would say yes cause its very traditional and the person who was gonna get sacraficed is honored

    Learn some history

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    You say they were honored because the people performing the killing said so?!

    Or because the people who were killed were able to tell you that for themselves? No, they weren't willing, and never felt honored. I think you watched AVP too many times.

    "The common method for human sacrifice seems to have been for the "ah nacom" (a functionary) to extract the heart quickly, while 4 people associated with Chac, the rain/lightning god, held the struggling victim's limbs. "

  • @masana2007

    whats AVP

    and they are honored cause its considered saving they`re tribes because of they`re sacrifice its good fortune to them because of the sacrifice to gods

    oh they are honored because they are saving they`re tribe

    also that was very far back. most of us can not really find out what happens it all has stuff to do with what they believe what ever the cheif wants to do the tribe has to do

    SACRIFICE IS A MENT FOR GOOD LUCK AND FORTUNE

    ITS RELIGIOUS

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    First of all, the Maya was a full fledge civilization, not a tribe. They were divided into social classes and titles. Their religion was just like any other religion: full of false promises and exaggerated claims. And if it were such a honor to be killed, why didnt they take their own lives? Or sacrificed the royal family? Or better yet, one of the high priests? Im sure they were considered much more special then the people being killed.

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    Second, you apparently didnt read the quote from A Comparison of the Zapotec and Maya," by Joyce Marcus that I mentioned on the previous forum, which states that the victims were held by other people. And if they were so willingly giving up their lives, why did they need to be held by 4 (FOUR) people, one holding down each limb of the victim?

    AVP is an abbreviation for the movie Alien vs Predator.

  • each tribe has different religions some are like that others all believe the same thing and f they didnt they were killed or kicked out of the tribe

  • Are you still talking about the Maya civilization? The pre-Columbian Maya civilization?

    Are we still on the subject of the human sacrifice performed by that same Maya civilization?

    Look, if you are simply going to talk out of your butt, then don't even bother replying to me. But if you are going to present an article, a research paper, a book, to back up your claims, then I'll be happy to address it.

  • what are you talking about dont even bother replying cause im not gonna make a fuss just to teach on youtube

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    I call your bluff, sire.

    Please, "school" me on the subject and don't try to evade this conversation with pity excuses, just because you were caught in contradiction with what you claim to have deep knowledge. Besides, you've started a fuss already.

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    Your arguments have no base [at least] for the Maya civilization. If you are not going to back up what you stated, i.e. citing History books, research papers, or an archeologist specialized on the subject, than you are simply full of shit.

    NOTE: YOU told ME to go learn some History. Put your knowledge to the task.

  • shutup

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    You got served!

  • shutup

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    Epically pwned!

  • wow your still fighting about this?

    you are so stupid if you dont want to go in your bed cut yourself and cry you better just leave youtube cause you are retarded

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    Didn't you say you weren't going to reply anymore? What happened?

    Look, I know you got frustrated because you cant make a valid argument, and attacking me instead of attacking my arguments isnt going to help you prove anything, that only shows us how immature you are. So, go ahead, call me whatever you want to call me, I dont care. I only come back here to laugh at your petty attempts to make me look bad, when, in reality, its you who look bad.

  • @stickmanfourtyseven

    BY THE WAY!!!!

  • The god of the bible allowed his own son to be nailed to a cross and brutally murdered because (even though he was supposedly all powerful) this was somehow the only way to forgive mankind's sin.

    Keep that in mind before beleiving anything the bible has to say.

  • That's exactly my point and I agree with you. Saddly people believe in those mythologies.

  • Cmon nat geo, 2012 bs is getting booooring

  • The galatic Alignment....Happens every 26,000 Years,Why would the world end This time? and The triggering the Energy crap...HOW IS THAT LOGICAL?!,If the alignment Happened before why Hasent the world Ended already?,Oh yeah BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED ON THE ALIGNMENT...

  • yes!!!, yes!!! WHITE AMERICA!!! my ancestors get the last laugh!!! you bitches made fun of us, called us beaners, etc, threw rocks at us! NOW WHAT!!! NOW WHAT!!! i pray for this

  • Is it possible that we would be in the path of a gamma burst from the super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy? I mean, that would kill the fuck out of us all.

  • Funniest shit ever, believing the world is going to end because the Mayans simply stopped counting. How dare they stop somewhere, they should still be counting.

  • ur ads suck!

  • I agree!

  • I was looking up "miley cyrus sex tape" and i found this?

  • That would truly be a Galactic Catastrophe!

  • much more 2012 bullshit

  • Happens every 26,000 years? Well, in the Earth's lifespan the same alignment has already happened 16,000 times. So, the Earth is going to end on Alignment #16,001?

    And as remarkable as the ancient Mayans may have been, it still doesn't mean that they had a crystal ball that could predict the future. I does mean that the Mayan calendar outlasted the Mayan civilization.

    What kind of brain defect does it take for people to buy into such hoodooism?

  • Plus, you would think, if they had the ability to predict such definitive results for several hundred and thousands of years in the future, why then were they unable to preserve their own culture, whether through avoidance or war?

  • its just gonna be something cool to watch like a soloar eclipse or soemthing, and tahts it

  • how is the allignment and everything going to trigger a fucking energy shit? and destroy the worl that girl believs what her ancestors believe thats fine but thats ridiculous? Trigger energy? what fkin energy??? PROOF?

  • Note to self: don't buy tickets for Superbowl XLVI...

  • yeah, we all gonna die some day, bitch including himself dickh*.

  • I think he watch too many movies about Star Wars, Star trek, Voyager, Star gate, Harry Potter, District 9, all that bulls* mental stars disorder. lol

  • What happen to 2220?

  • trigger what energy?! This is SO ridicules! People are so gullible.

    Oh, by the way, I'm selling the reflective shield you can put on your house and survive! $10,000.00

    Taking orders now!

  • bullcrap.

  • Doomsday is big business.

  • isnt that like an eclipse baically?

    i dont get how its gonna destroy the world

  • what is wrong with national geographic. this is crap. stop giving loons a podium.

  • I agree DonHoraldo. Looks like they are willing to put out garbage. Like CNN who no longer think science is important, they will lose their support from scientists like me if they persist.

  • ITS NOT TRUE!!!! The calendar will just turn over again. Think of it as the calendars you hang on your wall. Once you reach the last month you dont say ,"THE WORLDS GONNA END, OMG WERE GONNA DIE"...No. You just get a new one. DUH!!! Stupid people, even the decendents of mayans dont believe this shit! hell, they are actually getting pissed off b/c of all these idiots saying the world is gonna end!

  • Finally.. Someone else with since.

  • your right...

  • *yawn*

  • and the only reason the myans will be pissed about the end of the calender is like "damn, our calender is over, sshhhhhiiiiiitttt now we gotta make a new one"

    lol

  • if this happens the world will not end

    the only thing that will end is most of the living things in this world

    the earth will still be standing lmao

  • ppl are so mean on this, THE WORLD WILL END, IT HAS TO. but just like the mayANs we are going to calculate it to be thousands of years after us, so that we are not the last ppl, its not us that will suffer, and that is what i belive the mayans did, cuz its human nature. and in thousands of years, as the date WE predicted, it might not happen and ppl are gunna predict it thousands of years after them, for that reason. but eventually, the world will end, but i dont belive its ready to yet.

  • according to this video, this alignment happens once every 26,000 years. also, Mary Coba Cupul, the Mayan decendent in this video said that this alignment triggers the energy that will end the world. if this alignment happened about 26,000 years ago, doesnt that mean Earth sould have been destroyed 26,000 years ago too? and don't we have fossils that are carbon-dated millions of years back?

    i don't believe in this doomsday. i think the Mayan date simply marks an end of a cycle.

  • good grief this shit is retarded.

  • i hope nun happens.....

  • not buying it. The mayans were very smart for their time. With all this technolgy we have today, we could predict the calander 2000 years from now. You have to end the calander some day. There is no way they would know when the world would end. only god knows

  • God people are stupid!

    Yea mayans witnessed the end of the world once already so they could tell that its going to happen again in 2012 LOL.

  • Regardless of what your belief is, I take offense to your moniker of "God people" as if to say a belief in God is foolishness.

    What evidence do you even have that the world will end? One day, life as we know it will all change, but to simply assume it as outright truth is dumb. The world is not going to explode or something.

  • a) you completely misunderstand what i stated.

    b) belief in god is stupid (even though thats not what i said)

    c) I am actually mocking people that are claiming word is going to end in 2012.

    So you actually misunderstood everything. I do not know if you could failed more. Congratulations.

  • your right its not going to end in 2012 because if you think about it everything that said in revelations in the bible is comign true, it says in the end a single man will rule for i believe its 4 or 7 years. The Bible says nothing about the world ending abruptly.

  • actually more nostradamus predictions came true then bibles and they were less vague as well. Only predictions that we interpret in our own way are coming true. That means they arent really coming true but something happens and we say wow its came true. Also if you dont specify the date exactly then its a waiting game if you wait long enough a lot things will happen just by pure chance.

  • nostradumus predicted y2k too

  • and i predict that the united states will not be the world power and another big country will raise. and my prediction will come true maybe even within my life time. its pretty precise for a prediction as well i dont use fuzzy names im saying united states of america.

  • yea also The bible says that NO man shall no the date of the worlds end. so that means the maya couldn't have known.

  • thank you, fucking someone who belives that!

  • mmm. Not buying it.

  • Whoop de Freakin' doo its An alighnment,The mayans Never predicted it,and There are Different time Zones..so and The world is billionsOf years old and Us humans have only been Recording history for a Few thousand Years.

  • for all we know it probobly ends their because its like some form of leap year in our solar system cycle. instead of every 4 year for a leap year its every 2000 years for our solar system. lol

  • It happens once every 26,000 years. The Earth is much older than that, and it hasn't been destroyed by some mysterious energy released by this alignment. So, there's that.

  • The calendar ended around the same time the Spanish discovered Central American. Coincidence?

  • i think not!lol

    but you never know it might also might be the ending to a new beggining

  • it is an alignment whooptedo

  • Madonna's wretched, skanky beaver will be revealed on 21 December 2012. Few will survive.

  • lol!!1

  • riiiiiiiiiiight.

  • i don't believe in the Mayan calendar because they had to stop somewhere.

  • Man... National Geographic is really going down hill fast.

  • Anyone go believes anything for certain is arogant and wrong

    I believe ANYTHING could happen

    I can't wait to find out

  • OMG, mayan secert "energy" released on dec 21st 2012, fuckin bullshit. hat geo has really slipped. wonder how many books jenkins is gunna sell w/ this NG info'mercial.

  • So shouldn't the Earth end every 26,000 years then? I'm quite sure the Earth has not blown up every 26,000 years....

  • National Geographic is losing all credibility by spreading this tabloid nonsense.

    Reporting on primitive superstitions is legitimate. Reporting them as if they might actually hold some truth is repulsive.

  • blah, fake bullshit. I thought this bullshit died with astroLOGY....

  • So this alignment happens every 26,000 years? Well then I don't see why anyone should think its going to end the world this time around. Just a bunch of hysteria over hyped up bullshit.

  • Superstitious stuff like this is produced because it makes money. We got real problems to deal with. Ievolovel, I work in a highly technical field and use math and science tools every day. There are more believers in the sciences than the humanities.Space is short but a good nontechnical book to read is More than a Carpenter.Actually it is easier to believe logically , historically and scientifically in Christ than be a atheist.If you are right why are you so angry and upset if someone believes.

  • To quote Doc Brown:

    "When this calendar reaches 2012... You are going to see some serious shit... "

    "NOT!"

  • I rarely use the term "ROFL", however, when I see a comment from someone calling someone else a "dumb ass" because they apparently don't know "they" [I assume meaning Mayans] got "there" [correctly spelled "their"] info from a "higher intel" [from the Mayan version of the "cosmic CIA" I imagine] and cites the evidence of "ufo's and gods and shit" in there [again "their"] drawings....

    I am on the floor.

    Kids, stay in school. This is an example of why it's important on so many levels.

  • national geographic should be ashamed of themselves ...

  • Yeah, the earth, sun, and galactic center of the Milky Way do align on Dec. 21 2012... but this happens every damn year not every 26 thousand. It will happen this year then next year and so on till the earth actually ends from something legit like a huge solar flare or an asteroid.

    I'd also like to point out all the dumb christians on here saying everything will be fine because of god/jesus... shut the fuck up... everything will be fine because its not going to happen or just by chance. NoGod

  • The Sun's alignment with the center of te galaxy doesn't happen every year. Your talking about our solstice, which is Earth's wobble - tilt - which changes our seasons. and the position we see the Sun, and how close it is, etc Jenkins is talking about something completely different, and it only happens every 26,000 years. Go to his website, if you;re having trouble understanding what's being talked about

  • Many thought the world was going to end at 2000. It is interesting but I don't believe anything will happen. Maybe some excessive electrical charges similar to what happens during the height of the summer solstice.

  • Please shut up with the Bible and Jesus. How is that even revelant, this is barely even religious, its just a prediction based on their calander, they don't even mention gods or anything.

  • won't happen

  • Look at the Bible for your answers. The New World Order is already rapidly forming setting the stage for the man of sin.

  • The bible is the NWO. The Church decides what thoughts are acceptable

  • The NWO is Luciferian. The truth in the Bible cannot be refuted. Their are many false preachers who have infiltrated most religions. Dont throw the baby out with the bath water. I pray that you will see the truth for yourself and not allow any church to dictate to you what the truth is.

  • I don't disregard the importance of the astronomy and herbal medications that the bible reference to in it;s mythology. I pray that you will one day see past the dogma fear mongering, and realize what the beauty is that you blindly follow, unknowing it's true intentions.

  • Also look up the Bohemian Grove, and how leaders from all over the world some who even claim to be Christian partake in a ritual to their luciferian owl god ( moleck).

  • That's not moloch. Don;t listen to alex jones type disinformation. Further more, Lucifer is a planet, it's mythology. I have no fear of stellar movements, and nether should you.

  • the end is near not because of this but cuz of the Lord Jesus Christ is coming and he said there will be signs such as these

  • Shut the fuck up. There is no God and the closest thing to it is the cosmos itself. It decides our fate.

  • Well, You really tough talking shit over the internet.

    Come from behind the computer and ill shove my foot down your throat.

    Atheist Fag.

    Stop sucking Satan's cock.

  • satan? i thought he was atheist...

  • Atheist's don't worship Satan, dipshit. Stop sucking your priest's cock, and do a little reading.

  • Did I say Atheist's worship Satan?

    How about you mind your fucking business and shut the fuck up.

    Tell me how am i sucking my priest cock?

    Do you stalk me.

    Don't think so.

    Stop talking shit over the internet, And calling people "Dipshit's" if you don't know the meaning of Atheist yourself.

  • looooool. So you can talk shit, but I can't? Oh, okay. No, I'll stop because a brainless shithead says I should. Just for the record though, so you don't sound so fucking clueless in the future, Atheists don't worship Satan. They don't worship anything. And they definitely don't suck the cock of something that doesn't exist to them. I was an Atheist, don't tell me I don't know the meaning of it.

  • Please don't talk to me without using correct grammar.

  • Cool story, bro.

  • this is ridiculous its just like Y2K. so stupid...

  • thank you!

    i agree 100% wit u dude

  • the mayan calander was 4 years ahead of ours so there calander ended December 21, 2008 so yeah....

  • The Sun passing through it's alignment with the galactic equator (center of the galaxy) began in 1998 and wont be all the way out until 2016. This is an astronomical event taking place right now. Regardless of what any man's calender date is.

  • Obviously the 4 year differences has been calculated. Since anyone can view this taking place right now. And the highlight is around the middle of this we also have our own Dec Solstice on Dec 2012. while the Sun is in the middle of her alignment. These alignments are a great way to measure long periods of time, but are completely meaningless from any otehr view point than Earth. ie no doomsday here.

  • if that happend to them before why didnt the world end when they first saw it? dummies!

  • you dumb ass they got there info from a higher intel that why you see ufo's and gods and shit in there drawings

  • looooool

  • lulz it happens ever 26,000 years how long has earth been around? 4.2 billion? no scientific proof lmfao it's just a fucking scare tactic

  • people are illiterate...I mean when you write out your comment don't you see all of the words with red underlinings??

  • what red underlinings? lol i dont have those. =D

  • 2:36 epic bouncing

  • This is in no way Bullcrap. And here's why: Scientists in different categories all concur that the Mayan calendar concurs with all the happenings up to the point by 2012. Whether there will be catastrophe remains to be seen, but it is best to not be skeptical and be ready for anything until that date. And THAT is no rocket science.

  • Just a concern. Why and where do the scientis get all this crap from? I mean now its an energy discharged by a triggered alientment, before it was Niburu (planet X), before that the galaxy huge black whole and couple other theories.. Why don't just stop paying attention to all this crap and focus on what other call New World Order and those evil plans of recuding Worlds population by a 90%, remaining only 10% alive by World Goverments and all that crap that seems more believeable than this shit!

  • Just because you use "concur" a lot doesn't mean you're smart ):

  • 2012 will come and go and nothing will happen, Y2K anyone?...

  • the galaxy is so far away this event should have already happened already. we're just going to be viewing it.

  • What an epic fail this conspiracy is.

    I'm saprised it made it on ngc considering it has no evidence to back it up. Their just mooching off of peoples imagination for all this end of the world bs.

    You would think they would do a debunker rather then feeding off the media. Oh well ngs fails

  • so the video is saying 2012 december 21 when the sun and center of the galaxy goes to 1 the world will end wtf kinda sence is that omg who ever belives in this i hope gets crippled and when 2012 comes and nothing happns i want to slap all of them in the face

  • Wow

  • this is so stupid the calender just restarts thats all it does

  • i call bullshit!

  • bull shit ass stuff...

  • I'm betting the Maya counted towards the alinement of the planets and the center of the universe to testify to their wisdom of such things, nothing more.

  • wow after seeing this video and reading that article with a mayan denouncing a doomsday event really has people skeptical of this now. consider A LOT has changed for earth in the last 25,800 years. and where were we at then? any historical accounts of back then? it's only typical for western society to see man over nature and denounce things that could hurt us. like man induced global warming. hah, we're still in our infancy, i'm gonna be a little less arrogant on this. just in case.

  • Thanks for adding the big-boobed woman at 2:37...

  • Lol

  • gah, these people are stupid. Take more astrophysics please.
