There have always been doomsday prophecies in the past and as time moves on there will be many more.
The latest in line is 2012.
December 21, 2012 prophecy marks the end of the world.
Does this mean judgment day comes December 2012? Let's face it, 2012 is really catching up the hype and as the date nears it is going to gain much more exposure.
There is at least something about 2012 that people are talking, be it over the internet or offline.
There is also a movie soon releasing about 2012.
So what marks this date as doomsday? The Mayan Long Count calendar ends on December 21, 2012.
There is no relative information by the Mayans regarding what is going to happen after 2012.
This discovery is backed by many researchers and it does not stop here.
Believers of the "end of the world" say that cataclysmic events will unfold in 2012.
Nostradamus, known for his prophec,y also has predictions for 2012.
The prophecy believers have predicted some of the events as - meteors, asteroids & comet strikes, super volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, atom smasher experiment going wrong, sun storms (solar flares) and switching of earths' magnetic fields.
Widespread destruction beyond the control of mankind is what is foreseen by these prophecy believers.
Of course if there are believers there are also skeptics.
The skeptics believe that the Mayans Long Count calendar ends in 2012 since their calendar follows long set of periods unlike every year.
Some skeptics believe their culture vanished before they could get out another long count calendar.
No prophecy has gained so much hype as 2012.
What if some of the events do happen? Or what if the day just goes by like any other day.
It is left to each individual to perceive what could happen.
Until December 21, 2012 arrives all we can do is wait and watch.
