Nostradamus 2012 Prediction - Did Nostradamus Predict the 2012 Doomsday Nostradamus, a prophet who lived in the 16th century is given lots of attention nowadays. Did he predict the finish of the world? What did he predict for 2012? Lets find out what Nostradamus predicted.
Before we can answer whether he predicted the end around the globe in 2012 or not, we should understand that there are many interpretations of his work. Nostradamus didn't exactly write in a clear manner. His prophecies can be difficult to interpret, and it requires some study to know what he's actually saying.
When it comes to
2012, there are no mentions of this year in a of his works, but there are interpretations that claim that Nostradamus predicted major wars and disasters during this time period. Nostradamus has said himself that all of his prophecies will be valid until the year 3797, which pretty much destroys any ideas he predicted that the world will end in
2012.
The reason why people say Nostradamus predicted the finish in 2012 has something related to the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar ends on December 21. 2012, and so many doomsday believers conveniently use this very date so everything would match and for that reason seem more valid.
What's interesting is the fact that within the lost book of Nostradamus, he predicts catastrophic events for the time we reside in. Some say his predictions advise a under developed war. Younger crowd writes that a third Antichrist will appear soon. Experts say, his previous Antichrists were Napoleon and Hitler.
