Did Nostradamus predict the end of the world on 21/12/2012?

No. Nostradamus had nothing to do with that claim. The entire claim that the Earth was going to end in 2012 is based on a *misinterpretation* of the MAYAN calender, which appears to those who don’t know how to read it to end in 2012. In reality, the Mayan calender is a cyclic calender, meaning it runs in a cycle. (Much like a car’s odometer, which, when it reaches 999,999 miles, will click back over and start at 000,000 again.) The people who are claiming that the Mayans predicted the end of the world are reading the Mayan calender as if it was a linear calender like ours. It’s not. The Mayans did NOT predict the end of the world. They did NOT make any claims of the sort. The people who say that the Mayans said anything like that are people who know NOTHING about the Mayan culture, don’t know how to read the Mayan calender, and have NO idea what they’re talking about. Either way, why anyone would attach any sort of significance to a perceived “prediction” made by an ancient civilizatio
