TV criticism: Spiegel TV: Apocalyptic Prophecies make been announced as a big Saturday evening documentation was posted on 30/01/2011 TV format in the mirror again all sorts of bizarre events in the guise of the documentation presented to the inexperienced viewer. The fact that fears are aware, the makers of such works hard to care, apparently they do it just to maximize advertising revenue. But the mirror TV documentaries, I already own, differentiated, opinion.
What was it here? Of course, around the world 2012 and everything is in order to bring in some form in context. Part of the review seemed quite confused and lost in addition to war zones.
hanger course, was the coming to an end on 12.21.2012 Mayan calendar, which the supporters of the theory to succeed in the end of the world is to be equated. It was also a descendant of the Mayan word, which constantly evoked the heritage of their people and the destruction of the world. She said that on 21/12/2012 will the sun , Go out because the calendar ends.
Geologist Prof. Adam Maloof of Princeton University in New Jersey has arrived to the considerations 2012er-topic and his hypothesis is that the decline of the Maya on a shift in the earth's magnetic pole back cause was. As part of an expedition to Antarctica, he found near Spitsbergen evidence of geological characteristics that suggest Polumschwung before 800 million years ago near. According to him, it would then be similar structures in the southern hemisphere, which he, according to the report, in Western Australia in the form of stromatolite discovered actually.
But before it went on, has been reported only once on various doomsday scenarios. People tell the well-known astrologer Kurt Allgeier that Nostradamus is said to have predicted not only the terrorist attacks on 11.9.2001, but also about the destruction of the world on 21/12/2012. But the context has to make an already suspicious. It is known that even the original texts of the alleged seer Sun legal language and encrypted, that you are today can be interpreted into anything.
Then come all at once apocalyptic sects into play, such as those located at the appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp to the afterlife promoted because a UFO in the comet tail to absorb and transport them to a better world wanted.
In between comes as more and once again the cultural scientist Dr. Michael Kemp of the University of St. Gallen say. He analyzed on a scientific basis for the emergence of apocalyptic fantasies, adding largely to the simplicity of the minds in the sects. They are easily influenced and just believe everything told by a charismatic guru them. This, however, he explained properly to carry only to the often poor knowledge of the people back. After all, who is more interested in knowledge than faith, is usually not be found in sects.
Then again followed a slide on the work of Professor Maloof, who was able to confirm on the finds, that there should have been before 800 million years Polumschwung that lasted all conditions as 1 million years and therefore scenario for the demise of the Maya is not an option. At that time, the crust and the mantle would have moved the continents had shifted or were partially down into the mantle.
is then transferred back to the theme of champagne and they tell others about the Solar Temple Order, whose members are due to the impending millennium killed.
Once again, the question is asked as to why the Mayan calendar ends so suddenly (as Christmas, suddenly and unexpectedly, the festival is coming up ...). Now the Swiss master Hugo comes to speak, since the 70's cult has analyzed and some interesting report what seems to sink in the whole context.
is unclear, and this question is quite well justified scientifically, why the Maya tasks so suddenly their cities. One theory is that they had their wells contaminated by too much human sacrifice. The history of Maya should be divided into five major cycles, each of which ended in a disaster (for which the documents are rather sparse). Each of these cycles is to include 5000 years (here is my opinion leave the scientific base) and at the end was decided by the gods of the Mayas, the people that it's not worth it to go on, so it was replaced by another. In this respect doomsday scenarios seem plausible, at least approximately. And there ends the current 5000, it has come to a catastrophe on 12/21/2012. apocalyptic
The mass death and the nature of cults are then a topic that is discussed widely before the the cosmology of the Mayans was dedicated. This was very high standing, the astronomical knowledge of the Maya are said to have very deep and comprehensive. Thus, they allegedly discovered 2000 years ago that the day of the winter solstice 2012, the sun outside the center of the Milky Way and release by this movement (!) Special forces would be the destruction of the earth are intended. This would be the case every 26,000 years, already knew that the ancient Mayans. Allegedly.
somehow fitting that was then re-spread fear and terror of solar eclipses, and out of context clips from TV broadcasts to the total solar eclipse in Turkey in this direction. Archaic fears are ready rather than a scientific explanation of a natural phenomenon.
Since then must not miss the Dresden Codex, one of the oldest written records of the Mayas. The entries will be interpreted as a black rain, lightning and dark clouds that have darkened on 21/12/2012 perish and the world.
is now once again Prof. Maloof to speak, it brings the prophecies of the Maya with experience of natural events like hurricanes and tsunamis and drastic climate changes in the context of what seems so obvious quite yet. But the negative Forecasts with the alleged high astronomical knowledge of the Mayans are together knows, maybe the proverbial vulture (where one would do to the species but rather unjustly)
And clearly, may in the whole conglomeration not missing comets and asteroids, with Professor Neukum the asteroid (4179) Toutatis is interviewed. And although it has long been known that these rocks will fly at a safe distance from our planet, take the fall disciples (including Prof. Neukum but not heard!) It as a reason for the end of the earth. The closest approach to Earth is on 12.12.2012, with a distance of 0.046 Astronomical Units, equivalent to about 6.9 million kilometers. At an average distance of the moon of 384,000 km of the asteroid that reached an apparent visual magnitude of about 10 size classes will not even fly between the earth and the moon through it. These facts are unfortunately left completely ignored. Nevertheless, on 12/21/2012 Toutatis will embark on Earth ...
The German astronaut Ulrich Walter was on the impact of an asteroid strike questioned on the ground, also in view of the Jupiter Crash 1994th A camera pan over the Nordlinger Ries ends with the comment of a local historian: the next dinosaur killer is overdue.
conclusion is then again Prof. Maloof to speak, it will now have ehrausgefunden that 5000 years ago, at the end of the last Mayan cycle, the earth froze completely within a few days. On 21/12/2012 we stood so drastic climate changes in the house, but this time caused by humans.
Thus the mission ends with the anxious question: So what will happen on 21/12/2012. My answer: Nothing. There will be a Friday (okay, that's for some Untergangsbeschwörer also already too much), people will, as always tire out just before Christmas, to have gifts to catch for loved ones, but the world will not perish.
So what is a documentary like this. The scientific foundation is missing on long drives, unproven claims are presented as fact, statements out of context and simply pulled further stoked the anxiety in the subject. One wonders what that is. It seems that is what this kind of documentation is not the transmission of content, but only to quotas. So it is understandable that people fear before the year in 2012, when they are not able to get information where appropriate. Unfortunately, the show goes with many other of this format, the topics as tendentious and unfounded deal with, just to make quota. My conclusion: not worth watching.
