Nat Geo Mundo reveals four end-of-the-world specials

The ancient Latin adage carpe diem – seize the day – takes on striking new meaning as December 21, 2012 – the apocalyptic date predicted by the Maya – rapidly approaches. But, the massive flooding that some believe the Maya prophesied as the end of the world is only one in a long list of threats to mankind. Nat Geo Mundo’s End of the World Special features a series of four prolific shows premiering on Saturday, December 8 beginning at 8pm ET/PT with El Verdadero Fin del Mundo con Diego Buñuel. Each unique program sheds new light on these doom-filled threats. Join host Diego Buñuel as new revelations are unearthed about the most infamous date on the Mayan calendar in El Verdadero Fin del Mundo con Diego Buñuel. In Presagios del Apocalípsis, discover once and for all if the signs are really just in our minds. Gather new details on 2012: La Profecía Maya with a dramatic scientific explanation of what may or may not happen, and then, armed with this critical knowledge, go on to see ¡Sálvese Quien Pueda! as Earth has to evacuate and escape the only home humanity has ever known because it could happen if a neutron star presented planet Earth with an inescapable date of destruction.
