Many in the world believe that it is going to be the end of an era saying that Nostradamus 2012 predictions might come true. Man has ever been so fearsome about death that made him to find many tricks to escape death. That drove him to make worship unnecessary idols and other natural things such as stars and the planets. This was the scenario in the early stages of the life of human beings. People were not in a real belief of what God is which made them to do superstitious things and unnecessary activities.
Nostradamus and Mayans:
Nostradamus was a French apothecary lived in the 16th century AD .he was a prolific writer and a historic analyst too. This drove him to analyze the Mayan civilization and their way of life. Thus he proposed various works 
accordingly. By his most popular work known as almanacs he was known by people as Nostradamus 2012. He started it to write from 1550 till his death and published three parts of the book. Thus the predictions made many argue on the uncertainties which are prone to occur in the future. His predictions were closely related to the Mayans. Mayans were the early civilizations who were well versed in various arts like modernization of cities, astronomy and agriculture. It was they who made out the Mayan calendar according to the movements of the heavenly bodies in the space so as to calculate time. The long count calendar is one such particular calendar that is likely to be terminated by 21st December 2012. This has been misunderstood by many as it would be the end of the earth. The actual prediction was actual saying that the world would have a new era or might experience a vast change. This change may be a transformation of powers or invasion by the aliens. Ironically this may seem to closely be go hand in hand with that of the astronomical and of the solar cycle in 2012. The long cycle of 26000 years would be complete by the predicted month and will mark to a new cycle.
Just a matter of predictions:
Well all that has been predicted might not be the true as well. Mayans predicted certain things so as to safe guard them from the danger in the near future. Nostradamus 2012 prediction might just be a hoax or the truth but might not the necessarily the truth, Things that we look upon just wont turn out to be as they are. Prediction such that we might be ruled by aliens may or may not be the truth. If ask a well educated person about an apocalypse he might say that it may happen when the super powers emerge and strike one another causing mass destruction. He may also demand for a scientific proof support the particular prediction made out. These predictions made out arte just as the weather reports and the forecasting of the weather. Hence the forecasted report may or may not turn out.
