A great number of people believed that the world would end in 2000, even though the same sorts of people had been predicting the "end of the world" in 1000, or in 1996. (Due to a mathematical error made 1600 years ago, our calendar does not measure years since the birth of Jesus Christ; Jesus was born, by our reckoning, in 4 BC. 2000 years after his birth would have been 1996.)

These days, the same kind of folks are predicting the end of the world in 2012; we've even seen questions about this here, and a new movie called "2012" is set to cash in on the hysteria.
