Nostradamus, a prophet who lived in the sixteenth century is given much attention these days. He did foresee the end of the world? What is expected for 2012? Lets see what Nostradamus predicted.
Before we can answer if he predicted the end of the world in 2012 or not, we must realize that there are several interpretations of his work. Nostradamus did not exactly write in a clear manner. His prophecies can be difficult to interpret, and requires a study to understand what is actually said.
When it comes to 2012, there is no mention of this year in one of his works, but there are interpretations that suggest that Nostradamus predicted world wars and disasters at the time. Nostradamus has said himself that all his prophecies will be valid until the year 3797, which destroyed almost all the ideas he predicted that the world will end in 2012.
The reason why people say that Nostradamus predicted the end in 2012 has something to do with the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar ends December 21. 2012 and as many doomsday believers conveniently use the same date and therefore would seem to match no longer valid.
What is interesting is that in the lost book of Nostradamus, he predicted catastrophic events for the day and age. Some say his predictions suggest a third world war. He also writes a third Antichrist will appear soon. According to experts, the previous antichrists were Napoleon and Hitler.
