It's History channels way of saying they've got some new program that will premier on 5-26-09.

could it be this?

www.vetscite.org...

A 44 million-year-old fossilized louse has been found with the remains of feathers in its gut, suggesting that even ancestral birds were plagued by ectoparasites. The finding also suggests that early-feathered dinosaurs may have suffered the same itchy symptoms, report paleontologists.

im just going down the list....

Nah, that was from 2003 I believe.

hmmmm

well then how about this??

news.softpedia.com...

Artic ice formed about 45 million years ago - roughly 14 million years ahead of previous predictions - according to new research published in Nature. An international team of scientists, including Brown geologist Steven Clemens, says this startling evidence shows that glaciers formed in tandem at Earth's poles, providing important insights into global climate change.

i bet this has to be it!

www.nytimes.com...

Magnetic imprints on the sea floor can be used as timetables of such motion and they show that a major, almost worldwide alteration occurred some 44 million years ago. This is believed to have been when the main land mass of India collided with Asia.

edit: i think im finding it sucked to live 44 million years ago: lice, land collisions, global climate change.....

Found this, and tried to play the video, but it wasn't working. Perhaps one of you could try?

HUR HUR HUR

I'm sure you understood the correlation I was attempting between academic focus and prime time network slots, so save the troll attempt. If not, well, even in the most highly educated states - I guess there's a reason the bell curve has two sides.

Although, I must agree that "the most important find" does sound archeological, perhaps "the missing link".

They've found so many potential "missing links" in the hominid fossil record that the term "Missing Link" is pretty much inapplicable. For example:

Sahelanthropus tchadensis Orrorin tugenensis Ardipithecus ramidus Australopithecus anamensis Australopithecus afarensis Kenyanthropus platyops Australopithecus africanus Australopithecus garhi Australopithecus aethiopicus Australopithecus robustusAustralopithecus boisei Homo habilis Homo georgicus Homo erectus Homo ergaster Homo antecessor Homo heidelbergensis Homo neanderthalensis Homo floresiensis

Now, not all of those can be considered a "missing link". For example, DNA analysis of Neanderthal reveals that they were not related to us and most likely incapable of interbreeding. They were a sister-species. Similar to Homo floresiensis - the "hobbit", which we know existed alongside primitive man and is so morphologically and geologically divergent that a proposed lineage from them is near impossible. Still others such as Homo Sapiens Idaltu were likely either our sister species or a daughter sub-species of Homo Sapiens - but was so morphologically similar that it's hard to even call them a separate species. (Technically, we are ourselves a sub-species known as Homo Sapien Sapiens, off the main branch of Homo Sapiens)

Still, the fossil record is so diverse that finding any one "Missing Link" would not be the earth shattering kind of news it would have been in the early 20th century and as it was with the discovery of Australopithicus afarensis.

Wow, that is some cool information I had never heard before. Thanks. I am happy to say that the "hobbit" skeleton is/was right here at Florida State University! I'm not sure if it still is or not. Anyway, thanks for the enlightenment, and I agree that this would not be the most important information in 44 million years. I still think it will be a huge letdown, whatever it is. For one, if it is truly that important, how could they keep it under wraps for two weeks? They would have had to break the story immediately, otherwise someone would beat them to it.

Yeah, plus it would have to be their version, otherwise it would've been well publicized. Just taking a shot in the dark. I don't know that it has anything do with what will happen on May 25th, ie the alignment of the planets as they don't air "live" anything, what it is has already happened, and I'm putting my money on some sort of fossil. But there is still this nagging voice in my head that states if it was as important as they are hyping, we would have already seen numerous press conferences about it.

I am REALLY grabbing at straws with these dates here; and i doubt any of these have much to do with the upcoming program. If i had to guess i Would say the program is probably about the big bang or something.

845 BC — Pherecles, King of Athens, dies after a reign of 19 years and is succeeded by his son Ariphron.

1028 AD November 12 — Dying Emperor Constantine VIII of the Byzantine Empire marries his daughter Zoe of Byzantium to his chosen heir Romanus Argyrus.

July 12 1984 - No conclusive data for this exact date found in Wiki

march 15 1246 -possible completion of Sainte-Chapelle?

October 10 1958 - NAY -October 11 – Pioneer 1, the second and most successful of the 3 project Able space probes, becomes the first spacecraft launched by the newly formed NASA.

September 20, 1987 - Possible date match - A squirrel closes down the New York Stock Exchange when it burrows through a telephone line.

There is a rumour, circling on the internet, it is linked to this..

Washington Post

Disclosure?

Well, I believe it has to do with the universe if its truly a global event that will effect the entire population of humanity.
