Mythology Eor End of World in 2012

http://www.school.eb.com/comptons/article-205120?
  • Mayan Theories-Floods legends was one way about how the Earth was going to end (most of life forms)
  • Native American Theories-"End of the world recurred in a cycle, followed by a new creation."
  •  Aztec Theories- There had already been 4 seperate destructions of the world and one more was expected
  • Each world ending was marked by the ruler disapearing (In all of them it was the Sun)
  • Some mythologies blamed "human wickedness" for the end of the world (ex. the story of Noah and the flood)
  • All modern religions look forward to the end of the world, for a new fresh creation to occur
  • *Cataclysm*
  • Judaism-coming of Messiah announces the end of the world and the "restoration of paradise"
Do ALL religions believe in the end of the world?
How was all mythology created?
