I watched an interesting show on the History channel last night. It is currently countdown to Armageddon week so all of the shows shown at night will reflect that topic.

Last night they had a special on the predictions of Nostradamus and impending global change that will happen on winter solstice (December 21) of the year 2012. It was interesting to hear about the different Quatrains (I believe that is what he calls his prophecies) and get perspectives from different experts on the interpretation of his drawings and predictions.

I also did not realize the different secret societies that existed back then (and still exist today). The two that come to mind are the freemasons and the alchemists.

So much information about the effect mankind has on planet earth and how the alignment of the stars and the wear and tear on earth will encompass some pretty cataclysmic events. From what I understand, one of the predictions is that the poles (north and south pole) will flip and that will in turn cause environmental upheaval (deadly storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, volcanic activity and things of that nature).

The Mayan calendar also runs its course in the year 2012. Experts however, are not sure if that means that a new cycle will begin on earth or 2012 is THE end.

Interesting stuff I tell ya! Of course these theories contain a lot of complex figures and notions. At one point, I think my head was spinning.

With all of that said… what do YOU think of the 2012 predictions?
