Will the world end in 100 days? Sounding of ancient trumpet in York warns of Viking apocalypse on 22 February 2014

Dailymail.co.uk - If Vikings were here today, the sounding of a distinctive horn in York would have created chaos.

The ancient instrument, blown last night, signalled exactly 100 days until the end of the world, according to Norse mythology.

Legend has it that the Norse God, Heimdallr, would blow the mythical Gjallerhorn to warn of the Viking apocalypse, also known as 'Ragnarok'.

Ragnarok, which translates to ‘Doom of the Gods’, is due to be preceded by the winter of winters.

Vikings believed, prior to the apocalypse, three freezing winters would follow each other with no summers in between. 

All morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world, signalling the beginning of the end. 

The wolf Skoll would devour the sun, and his brother Hati would eat the moon, causing stars to vanish from the sky and the Earth to be thrown into eternal darkness.

Norse mythology experts have calculated that Vikings believed this will take place on February 22, 2014.

On this day, the god Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir and the other ‘creator’ gods.

There will be huge earthquakes, the sea will rear up and the soil and the sky will be stained with poison.

The sound of the horn is supposed to call the sons of Odin to the battlefield, where Odin will ultimately be killed.

After his death, the Earth was foretold to sink into the sea, paving the way for a new utopian world with endless supplies.

Danielle Daglan from the Norvik Viking Centre told MailOnline that a number of recent events spoken about in the legends of Ragnarok led them to believe that the end of the world may well be imminent.

The legend states that ‘the first to notice shall be man, brother will fight brother and all the boundaries that exist shall crumble.’

‘The idea that “boundaries that exist shall crumble” could be said to be about the Internet age, where you can communicate with millions of people simultaneously around the world thanks to the global rise of social media,’ said Ms Daglan.

Viking tradition also believes that a vast winter will appear before the apocalypse.

‘There are predictions that we are heading into a mini-ice age thanks to a fall in solar flare activity - what is a mini-ice age but several winters rolled into one?’ said Ms Daglan.

Another part of the legend claims that the Midgard Serpent, named Jormungand, shall free itself from its tail and rise up from the ocean.

Ms Dagland points to the two huge fish which appeared on a beach in California last month.
The giant oarfish were dead when they washed up on land, and some scientists believe they came ashore to die because they are ‘in distress’.

‘Traditionally, the Viking festival of Jolablot marked the end of the winter - if this winter truly does not end, then that feast may be given over to Ragnarok instead,’ said Ms Dagland.

The Jorvik Viking Centre predicted that Ragnarok would occur on 22 February because this is the end of the feast of Jolablot.

While not a scientific conclusion, they claim that Vikings loved to feast and wouldn't want to miss this event. For this reason, they argue that Vikings would believe the world would end in 100 days.

The end of the world is coincidently the start of the grand finale of the Viking festival in York.

‘Following a study published in 2010 that bearded men are more trustworthy than those without, we’re also looking for fantastic displays of facial hair, so that we can identify those with the potential to take us into the brave new world that is foretold to follow Ragnarok,’ said Danielle Daglan director of the JORVIK Viking Festival. 

‘In the last couple of years, we’ve had predictions of the Mayan apocalypse, which passed without incident, and numerous other dates where the end of the world has been pencilled in by seers, fortune tellers and visionaries,’ she added.

‘But the sound of the horn is possibly the best indicator yet that the Viking version of the end of the world really will happen on 22 February next year.’

NASA Is Totally Sure That Giant Asteroid Won’t Hit The Earth In 2032 Probably

Geekosystem - You might have heard that Ukrainian astronomers spotted a giant asteroid headed straight for Earth, which could impact on August 26th, 2032 with a force fifty times greater than the largest nuke. But wait; before you run off and get “YOLO” tattooed on your forehead, NASA is here to tell us that we’re all going to be completely fine. Probably.

After noticing the asteroid had come a little too close to Earth for their liking on October 8th, the astronomers at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory predicted the 1,300-foot asteroid would swing back around for another run at our planet in nineteen years. NASA responded to the flurry of apocalyptic press about the asteroid and set their Spaceguard (the Near-Earth Observation Program) on the case.

Luckily for all living things on this planet, they’re pretty sure everything is going to be cool. Spaceguard rated the asteroid’s likelihood of impact as 1 in 63,000 (which, by the way, is still way more than most Near Earth Objects, which have a collision probability of zero).

“To put it another way, that puts the current probability of no impact in 2032 at about 99.998 percent,” said Don Yeomans, the Spaceguard manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. “This is a relatively new discovery. With more observations, I fully expect we will be able to significantly reduce, or rule out entirely, any impact probability for the foreseeable future.”

Just in case, though, should we maybe start preparing a giant drill? And Aerosmith?

2012

Heboh ramalan tahun 2012 sudah berlangsung lama, tetapi baru meluas sekitar 10 tahun terakhir. Penelitian tentang hal itu dilakukan banyak ahli dari berbagai bidang ilmu dan puluhan buku sudah diterbitkan.

Observasi astronomi sangat akurat selama berabad-abad para astronom genius Maya memberi pertanda, tanggal 21/12/2012 akan menjadi kelahiran zaman baru. Masa itu paling sakral sekaligus paling berbahaya dalam sejarah Bumi.

Menurut Laurence E Joseph dalam Apocalypse 2012, tanggal 21/12/2012 merupakan titik balik musim dingin tahunan ketika belahan Utara Bumi berada di titik terjauh dari Matahari sehingga siang sangat pendek.

Pada tanggal itu, tata surya dengan Matahari sebagai pusatnya, seperti diyakini bangsa Maya, akan menutupi pemandangan pusat Bimasakti dari Bumi. Para astronom Maya Kuno menganggap titik pusat ini sebagai rahim Bimasakti. Keyakinan itu didukung banyak pembuktian para astronom kontemporer bahwa di situlah tempat terciptanya bintang-bintang galaksi.

Saat ini, sejumlah lembaga penelitian ilmiah mengenai atmosfer, ruang angkasa, dan teknologi di Barat menduga ada lubang hitam tepat di pusat itu yang menyedot massa, energi, dan waktu, yang menjadi bahan baku penciptaan bintang masa depan.

Untuk pertama kalinya dalam 26.000 tahun, energi yang mengalir ke Bumi dari titik pusat Bimasakti akan sangat terganggu pada 21/12/2012, tepatnya pukul 11.11 malam. Semua itu disebabkan guncangan kecil pada rotasi Bumi.

Bangsa Maya yakin, sesingkat apa pun terputusnya pancaran dari pusat galaksi akan merusak keseimbangan mekanisme vital Bumi dan tubuh semua makhluk, termasuk manusia.

Memaknai ramalan

Ada yang menginterpretasikan 21/12/2002 sebagai ”kiamat”, tetapi banyak pula yang memaknainya secara kontemplatif.

Pakar psikologi transpersonal dari AS, Dr Beth Hedva, yang ditemui di Jakarta beberapa waktu lalu, mengibaratkan Ibu Bumi sudah sangat dekat waktunya melahirkan. Proses kelahiran tak hanya diiringi darah dan penderitaan, tetapi juga harapan dan janji.

”Selalu terjadi kontraksi,” ujar Beth Hedva. Wujudnya perang, kekejian, dan bencana akibat penghancuran lingkungan dan perusakan atmosfer Bumi—dampak kebencian dan keserakahan manusia—serta bencana yang disebabkan faktor manusia dan nonmanusia.

Dalam antologi The Mystery 2012: Predictions, Prophecies & Possibilities (2007), ahli sistem komputer untuk ruang angkasa yang menjembatani ilmu pengetahuan dan spiritualitas, Gregg Braden, menyatakan, yang terpenting bukan apa yang akan terjadi, tetapi bagaimana potensi kolektif muncul dari pemahaman holistik dan kesadaran tentang siapa diri kita di tengah Semesta Raya.

Ahli fisika biologi dan ahli kanker pada Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia, Carl Johan Calleman, peneliti Kalender Maya, mengingatkan pada transformasi kesadaran manusia.

Robert K Stiler, Direktur Program Kajian Amerika Latin Universitas Stetson di DeLand, Florida, AS, menambahkan, ”Apa pun maknanya, bangsa Maya mengajak kita merengkuh hidup berkualitas dan kesehatan planet Bumi.”

Tahun 2012 adalah tahun berjaga dengan menyadari teknologi saja tak menjamin keberlangsungan Bumi. Begitu diingatkan José Argüelles, PhD, ahli Kalender Maya dan pakar sejarah seni dan estetika dari Universitas Chicago.

”Kalau kita tidak berjaga, planet Bumi akan hancur secara alamiah karena sekarang sudah jauh dari seimbang,” ia menambahkan. ”Pikiran manusia secara massal dikontrol dan dimanipulasi pemerintah dan institusi-institusi yang menjadi faktor kunci kehidupan modern.”

Christine Page, dokter medis, ahli homeopati dan kesehatan holistik, menjelaskan, tanggapan pada zaman baru sangat tergantung pada kemampuan memahami kesalingterkaitan dan menghargai Ibu Bumi. ”Alam dan semua makhluk hidup di Bumi adalah bagian diri kita yang harus diperlakukan penuh martabat, penghargaan, dan cinta,” ujarnya.

Jadi, pilihan ada di tangan manusia: membiarkan planet Bumi hancur atau melanjutkan evolusinya. Mari kita renungkan….
