The ancient Mayan Calandar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation, the Chinese oracle of the I Ching and even an Internet-based prophetic software program all point to December 21, 2012 as the end of civilisation.

Why do so many oracles throughout history seem to point to that same dreaded doomsday? This fascinating special cuts through the myths and offers a fact-based examination of the Doomsday prophecy.
