I'm not recallone and even though I missed this entire event here's my interpretation after watching the "ad" and reading about it. I don't think there are any really deep hidden meanings in the imagery or words. It's typical Madison Avenue marketing. They sampled successful popular imagery and words or events that most everyone would recognize in order to create a buzz. It's over the top and kitschy to me.
Yes, I think most shows on the History Channel are like the rest of TV - full of misinformation, twisted revisionist history which as someone else said is fodder for the "cliff notes" masses who have never read a book. However, having said that I am interested in this fossil find and will try to view the show. It really sounds like a huge discovery in the paleontology world.
The History Channel has been pushing "end of times" shows for years like "Life After People" and that supposedly newly discovered Nostradamus book. I find some of the information interesting and matches up with info I read from other sources, yet a lot of it is pure Hollywood Hype. They probably use the web bot info to pick key images and words to grab the largest viewership. Corporate sponsors have always done this...TV was invented to sell soap not inform.
