There is a lot of speculation these days about the possibility of a global cataclysm in the next few years. Most of this attention is based on the Mayan calendar. December 21, 2012 is the supposed end of the Mayan long form calendar, but it is only the end of one epoch, not the end [...]
Terence McKenna’s Timewave Zero theory is one of many popular theories about what might possibly occur on 12 21, 2012. Granted, the fact that he may have tailored his date to coincide with the end of the Maya(n) calendar’s current cycle is a pretty reasonable explanation as to why this theory is becoming widely accepted.
Essentially [...]
Much has been said about the events of 12-21-2012 and the perceived end of the long form Mayan calender. This has given light to many end of the world theories an predictions, but mostly from profiteers who want to take advantage of public fears.

He is best known for his book Les Propheties (“The Prophecies”), the first edition of which appeared in 1555, which predicted the end of the world, but not necessarily in 2012

He spoke medieval French, wrote poetry in Latin and we’re at the mercy of whomever translates the stuff.
Where he can be found to have made a concrete prediction, he’s wrong more then 50% of the time. His supposed “predication” of 9/11 is a fake written after the event.
As the 2012 stuff is all hype and mostly fake it stands to reason the same applies to him.
Here’s an example of old nosty:
The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror:
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
OK great. So in July 1999 a great being came from the sky ( “Independence Day? “V”? some other movie?) and brings Genghis Khan back to life. (Or is it Kublai Khan?) Anyway he doesn’t explain “why” this has to be done. Last “Mars” normally refers to war so an alien came to earth in 1999 brought Genghis back to life and we had a big war.
Oh wait, it didn’t happen.
