Why are people worried about 2012 if that's just when the Mayan calendar ends?
It's the Mayan calander with Nostradamous, and American psychic Edgar Casey, and several others that felt something horrific would happen in the year 2012. It could just be a big change, not really the end of the world. We'll have to wait and see.
How many cultures or beliefs is 2012 AD is important as a point of something new or a new time of enlightenment?
2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar (although they say it is not the end of time). Nostradamous (sp?) also made predictions about this time in history. To me it is just another year. If people buy the hype it becomes more likely something big will happen. If we all do our best to live a peaceful and compassionate life, things will unfold as they will.
Did Nostradamous believe that the world will end in 2012?
It is difficult to interpret the "predictions" of Nostradamus. He wrote in poetry, in "quatrains" of four lines each. Like Rorschach ink blots, they are capable of being interpreted pretty much any way you like. And the same quatrains are quoted as "predicting" any number of events, which makes them pretty much useless for actual prediction. So I'm going to answer, "No, Nostradamus did not predict the end of the world in 2012." The whole "end of the world in 2012" idea is based on the fact that the calendar of the ancient Mayans is cyclical; the end of the next cycle corresponds to December, 2012. But then, the Mayans' world ended when Cortez and DeSoto arrived about 500 years ago, so perhaps a prediction from the Mayans isn't really much to go on.
What is going to happen dec 21st 2012?
If you posted this because you think the world is going to end, its not. God said he will not flood or do harm to earth again like he did with Noah's ark. He said no one will know how they die, when they die, or when the world will end. People believe the world will end because the Mayan Calendar ends that day. I like to think that the Mayans got tired of writing and doing math.
What was the illuminati?
The Illuminati is a fictional group based on the "Bavarian Illuminati," an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776, which disbanded in 1785. The term continues to be used in popular fictional references, and in conspiracy theories. The actual modern existence of any such group is unproven.The term "Illuminati" is the Latin form of "enlightened".The movement was founded in May 1, 1776 by Johann Adam Weishaupt, of Ingolstadt, Bavaria. Alternative names for the Illuminati are known as Perfectibilists, The Order of the Illuminati, or Illuminatus. The movement is commonly referred to an offshoot of the Enlightenment-era and is said to be modeled from the Freemasons. They were allowed to operate freely only until 1785, when a keen proponent of "Enlightened Absolutism", the Duke of Bavaria, Charles Theodore, banned all secret societies from operating. The order itself was said to have had over 2000 members in ten years, many of them prominent politicians and leaders, and its influence extended into several European countries.The Illuminati are often associated with Freemasonry. While there are some similarities there is one striking difference between them. The Illuminati were not a democratic, egalitarian movement. The Freemasons were a proto-democratic, egalitarian movement and have not changed much today. Both groups excluded woman from joining, but today there are female chapters of the Freemasons. Both groups had non-dogmatic belief systems, both favor Deism, and neither is associated with Satanic or Anti-christian beliefs as is commonly argued. George Washington himself was said to have been a Freemason.The Illuminati are commonly associated with Conspiracy Theories by those who support and disapprove of such organizations. Those who are in favor of the Illuminati say that they are a group of free thinkers who want the best interest of the people they secretly hide from. They want to bridge the differences that come from politics, religion, and social order. Those who are not in favor suggest that they are the group behind the "New World Order," the movement that will cause corruption and ultimately the fall of governments. Their apparent goal is said to be a "Utopian" society where all of the world's countries are unified under one government.This would require, however, that a modern Illuminatiactually exist, and there has never been any indisputable evidence to that effect.To put it simply: there is no evidence whatsoever of this group existing past the 1700's. No living person has ever been proven Illuminati in a court of law. It is ludicrous to assume that such an organization could function for well over 200 years without a single exposure.
