Nat Geo: Is it Real--did they cancel this series after 4 episodes?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

I downloaded all 4 episodes from iTunes and thought they were great (especially the ghost episode), but they're from 2005 and no new episodes were added. Did this show get canceled?

1. Hope not! 12 episodes are listed on the web site.

Just today I watched the Atlantis episode.

And thank you Non-existent Jebus! Somebody FINALLY mentioned how insulting it is for these smarmy douchebags to blunder around the world claiming our ancestors needed "help" to start their civilizations.

In this episode, various crackpots make that claim about the Mayans, the Cambodians at Angkor Wat, and everybody's favorite retarded ancient culture, the Egyptians.

That crap burns me up. When I lived in Egypt, I got an earful about it from tour guides - once they found out I wasn't a woo and also enjoyed laughing at them. To my shame and annoyance, the Egyptians told me it's usually Americans who bring up the ancient alien/Atlantean BS.

In today's segment, a whole boatload of these ignoramuses - the "Stargate Tour Group" - float down the Nile to Luxor/Aswan, squint at various ancient hieroglyphics, and proclaim them to be attack helicopters, space-ships and submarines.

My only cheerful thought as I watched: the boat was fairly small, and that part of the Nile is still patrolled by crocodiles.

2. That's so weird...

I've seen Stigmata, Aliens, Da Vinci Code and Ghosts. No others are listed on iTunes and some of those aren't listed on Nat Geo.


I agree with you. HIstory Channel has been spamming the waves with ancient alien crap recently.

4. They still air episodes on the NatGeo channel

But, they all appear to be re-runs - I think I've seen all of them.

Looking at Netflix, there are 3 DVD's you can buy - 2 of them from 2005 and 1 from 2006. I think those 3 DVD's contain all the episodes that were ever produced, but irritatingly, they don't mention how many episodes are on each one.
