Nostradamus Effect : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nostradamus Effect
''Nostradamus Effect'' was an American sensationalist television series that premiered on September 9, 2009, on the History channel. The program detailed various historical apocalyptic prophecies, such as the 2012 phenomenon. The show was named after reputed French seer Michel de Nostredame, more commonly known as Nostradamus. Season 1 ended; the series was not renewed for a season 2. It presented itself in a "documentary style" but it was not a documentary. The show's disclaimer stated that it does not to take sides regarding the apocalyptic prophecies. In the introduction of each episode, the narrator states, "We will neither refute, nor endorse, these theories; merely, present the evidence." Despite this claim, prophecies are often exaggerated or presented incorrectly.〔Lemesurier, ''2012: It's Not the End of the World'', Derwen Publications, Pembroke, 2011, pp. 91-7, and compare (The History Channel's 'The Nostradamus Effect' )〕 For example the show repeatedly claims that the Mayan Long Count calendar predicts the end of the world for December 21, 2012 while in reality it marks the first day of the 14th b'ak'tun era and not any belief in the end of the world.〔Susan Milbrath, Curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology, Florida Museum of Natural History, quoted in (''USA Today'', Wednesday, March 28, 2007, p. 11D )〕〔Schele, A. and Freidel, D., ''A Forest of Kings: The Untold Story of the Ancient Maya'', Quill, New York, 1990, p.430〕〔Aveni, A., ''The End of Time'', U. of Colorado Press, 2009, ''passim''〕〔Lemesurier, P., ''2012: It's Not the End of the World'', Derwen, Pembroke, 2011, p.161〕 The series was described as full of misleading suggestions supported by vague, unattributed weasel phrases such as "some think that", "many believe that", and "scholars suggest that",〔For critiques, plus supporting links, see (The History Channel's 'The Nostradamus Effect' )〕 while in his book ''2012: It's Not the End of the World'' Nostradamus specialist Peter Lemesurier describes its Nostradamian aspects as 'largely fiction' and lurid nonsense'.〔Lemesurier, Derwen Press, 2011, p.91〕 ==Episodes==
