Here's a link with a number of short videos that were included on the History Channel's coverage:

Okay, I got as far as the pyramids stuff. Considering the pyramids were only three of over 100 pyramids in Egypt, I can't quite get around that these three are lined up in some symbolic manner. I mean, the first pharoah who decided to build his pyramid in that spot, did he really plan that one to be the first of three special ones? And Thing 2 and Thing 3 also were party to this? Why did other pharoahs build theirs elsewhere, and wouldn't theirs have symbolism as well? Where is stonehenge in all this? Didn't see any mention of Stonehenge....
Now, if they told me the Mayans built these symbolically placed pyramids, I'd stop and think about that. But considering the idea was based on the Mayan calendar and their "writings" you'd think that they, too, would have built such symbolically placed pyramids, seeing that they also were great pyramid builders, thus connecting the egyptian pyramids' location (or the three largest ones at Giza) with the mayan calendar made it a little too far fetched. The thing looked to me like grasping at things and tying them together. Kind of like "Eating lettuce will raise your IQ". Smart people eat lettuce, you see, therefore, eating lettuce must make you smart.
Interesting to watch, but really pretty hard to swallow. Plus, the world can't end in 2012, I won't be done with my doctorate yet.
