As the world waits to see if the ancient Mayan apocalypse prophecy December 21, 2012 is correct, the new H2 series, Countdown to Apocalypse tells the rest of the story. Each one-hour episode of this 6 part series examines how different societies, groups and traditions believe the world will ultimately end. The series not only uncovers the stories, their origins, and their meaning but asks if there is any realistic expectation of these events taking place.
