[Aztlan] Indiana Jones and 2012

[Michael Smith]

I received an email today seeking hosts for an upcoming series on the
History Channel, called "Seekers 2012." This is from their website:

PROJECT
Documentary series for the History Channel, surrounding the Mayan
prediction that 2012 will be the END OF DAYS as well as other
unexplained phenomena.  



WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Male & Female Investigators who are scientists, explorers, or
adventurers with advanced degrees (Ph.D desired). 


Ideal Investigators would already be a team (husband and wife, co-
workers) who fall somewhere between the FBI Agents on "The X Files" and
"Indiana Jones". One is a believer, the other a skeptic. One is driven
by reason, science and empirical evidence, the other by feelings,
intuitions and faith.

Ideally, the woman would be the skeptic and the man the believer. We are
not limiting ourselves to an existing team nor will we rule out a woman
who is the believer and a man who is the skeptic. We are open to any
combination as long as they are articulate, passionate, and
knowledgeable.  

Investigators must also be genuinely curious as to why there are
predictions in nearly every culture that the world will end in 2012.


WHAT IS THE DEAL
In each episode our Investigators will scour the globe investigating
these "End of Days" prophesies and other unexplained mysteries. These
hosts will share their questions, investigative techniques, knowledge
and gut instincts with the audience, as they seek answers to some of the
world's oldest and most ominous predictions. 


Is this you?  If so, WE WANT YOU!!

 

My wife Cindy is more skeptical than I am, so I guess that disqualifies
us (also, I find it hard to be "genuinely curious" about bogus claims).
The 2012 nonsense is only going to get worse! But if there are any Agent
Mulder - IndyJones types out there, here is their website:
