Well this is just plain freaky. The History Channel will air a special called “Decoding the Past, Doomsday 2012: The End of Days,” which will explore the Mayan prophecy that the end of the world will occur on December 21st, 2012.

According to the “Doomsday 2012: The End of Days:”
“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.”

“Decoding the Past, Doomsday 2012: The End of Days” airs on the History Channel Sunday, January 27 at 12 PM.
