The Nostradamus Effect

Sometimes offensive, such as praising Hitler as a prophet. There is not a single episode in this that does not deliberately lie, lie repeatedly, and lie loud. The show even admits it repeatedly with their phony disclaimers.

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. The series was full of misleading nonsense supported by vague, unattributed weasel phrases such as "some think that", "many believe that", and "scholars suggest that."

The worst is the 2012 hoax, pulled off by white con artists and cult leaders, and denounced repeatedly by actual Mayas. The actual Mayan calendar actually goes to almost the year 4000, and only discusses what happens to Mayas.

Almost as bad was showing Da Vinci's paintings of a flood from the Bible, and pretending it was predicting a flood in the future.

And the Rapture nonsense is not in the Bible. It's from some American fundamentalists in the 1850s.
