A detailed, historical investigation of this chilling prophecy is the mission of Nostradamus 2012 an exciting HISTORY 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.

Review: We've all heard tales of the end of the world.  From religion to superstition to science, we all wonder when it will happen.  Nothing lasts forever, right?   Well, in Nostradamus 2012 on blu-ray we get a great History Channel special hosted by the author of an interesting book on the subject.

The documentary is a lot of fun and maybe takes itself a little too seriously.  Its primarly made up of supersticious ramblings and theories, so I don't think we need to get ourselves worked up about 2012 ending the world, but its a fun watch and definately something to talk about!

The bonus features include: Feature length documentary The Lost Book of Nostradamus
