Apocalypse Island what kind of bullshit was this

Dubious...Why did they take a boat? They had a helicopter. camera shot from the top of the monument? and they fail to mention the island is actually inhabited. come on man

Yes total BS...

If you look at the island on google earth it has many inhabitants and an airport!

History channel is crap nowadays. Larry the cable guy? Laterrrrr

Holy shit this made me lol. Probably just for the unexpectedness of it.

I just wasted time watching this also.
I think a lot of this bullshit comes from people who don't believe in God.
People who don't believe in God will believe in anything.

I just watched the show and enjoyed it. It was a nice adventure. I could not however draw any Maya connection with the island or the pile of lava rocks. My take on the story is that when Turner first discovered the pile of rocks a decade ago he was a student and it was during his marijuana years. So combine the new archeology knowledge, camping on a remote exotic island and some good Colombian shit and I think I could see it too. The other dude stated his doubts about following Don Quixote but it was a good gig and he wasn’t going to blow it. At the end of the show when they were packed and taking their last look at the rocks he almost cracked up and the camera dude had to do a quick click of the off button. I agree with some of the other comments that this would make a good series. Maybe an updated Gilligan’s Island with a Brokeback Mountain twist.

LOL at this guy. This might be the most ironic statement ever presented on an internet forum.

Actually, it WAS a piece of crap, and I should have known better. It doesn't take a special kind of genius to enjoy these shows, but it takes ACTUAL EVIDENCE. 2 hours of rambling bullshite, just to see a hunk of stone that looks less man-made than everything that is naturally occurring in Sedona, and to be told the whole time that this was "proof"? Sorry, this was crappy "science", and every single show that has been on History, Discovery, and the rest of the clones on these types of topics has been the same waste of time, they spend 1 hr and 45 minutes of buildup, and then 7 minutes(When you account for commercials, wrap-up and credits) of crushing disappointment because they either don't discover Nessie, Bigfoot, or the Chupacabra, or they have some vague rock formation that could or could not be man-made, and it is a complete and total letdown.

Sure, MAYBE 2012 is actually significant, but the more likely explanation is that the Mayan Long Count calendar only goes so far, before it needs to be 'reset' and starts over. This is a limitation of this otherwise awesome calendar, as all calendars have similar limitations, it doesn't mean that the world is going to end...

It's also the funniest thing I have seen in a long, LONG time...

Because it is in the interest of the people in charge to not let their "history" ever get challenged, they have too much invested in it. Some places, the dominant religion has used the established story to justify their positions of power, in other places, such as Communist countries, they are convinced that it is some kind of 'plot' by Americans or whomever their current enemies are.

Other times, it is too embarassing to admit that things established 100 years ago, with very little technical scientific equipment could ever be proved wrong. Look at Giza... Ground Penetrating Radar has shown evidence of a large chamber under/near the front feet of the Sphinx, but to admit that there is more than the 'official' Egyptologists have discovered would embarass them, because they can't handle the possibility of not being 100% right the first time.

So whether it's politics, paranoia, or pride, these are all the reasons that history must still struggle on, even though we could settle so much so quick if the asshats would quit fighting us.

A great one I would like to see is an excavation near the Terra Cotta soldiers. There is quite possibly a scale model of that ruler's entire territory, even with jewels in the ceiling to represent stars, and oil lamps to illuminate it all, but the Chinese are playng that whole 'Don't let anyone into our sovereign territory, lest they overthrow us' BS...

This was the worst, most hollow production I have seen on the History Channel. Claims made without back up, no real science, just speculation and an excruciatingly BORING journey with not conclusion.

I irrevocably wasted an hour watching that cr*p. As soon as he got close to the 'Mayan carvings' on the island I was sure that the guy with the beard thought, as I did, that the 'archaeologist' was f&^% up crazy. That formation looked just like the f*^ rocks down the road at my beach here in New Zealand. The bearded guy gives the other fella this look like 'WTF is this broseph!'. I'm sure he kept his mouth shut because he thought otherwise the BS archaeologist would f&^% him up in his sleep.

search Lion Rock, Piha, NZ. Another fine example of Mayan monuments, the true meaning of which is kept from us by the "powers that be". Because the Spanish saw big canoes when they arrived in South America, I surmise that the Maya also sailed those canoes to "Apocalypse Island" then once they carved the head and jaguar,buoyed by their amazing accomplishments, they sailed to the other side of the pacific and carved lion rock from the land. The evidence is clear friends. Clear as day. Now, maybe I can get History Channel to give me some money to make a documentary about the total bs I just spouted as well!!! Christ almighty (pun intended), there is some total bullshite on telly these days. Bring on the aliens, at least they can save us!

if you google maps this island you will see a bunch of houses and roads on the other side of the island. Instead of risking a rocky beach landing they clould have pulled the boat up to a pier. Instead of sleeping in tents they could have stayed at the island's hotel.

This show was awesome, don't know why people don't believe in this story. It was truly a Mayan statue. Great cinematography.

Jim Turner took down his site on December 18. No trace of him. He said he would be on Robinson Crusoe Island at the rocks on December 21. Apocalypse Island information site:
