Reports of the end of the world are not new; in 1000 A.D. Europe was panicked, and peo-ple gathered on hilltops to bet-ter view the second coming of Christ. In 1884 the nucleus of what was to later become the Jehovah's Witnesses gathered on mountaintops, confident that the end of the world was at hand. However, of all the occuren.- ces of this sort throughout his-tory, none has been so widely held and so little recognized as the simultaneous and indepen-dent calculations of virtually every major astrologer and mys-tic in the western world that this old earth would see its last on March 16. Only the followers of those prophets gathered on hilltops this time, and it was interesting to note that the intense heat of The End was greatest on moun-taintops. Of all the major prophets, only Nostradamus, that ancient French philosopher who actu-ally predicted, centuries before, the world wars, personalities, etc., of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, disagreed, although thhere was no astrology maga-zine published for this month that didn't have a section called ""coming next issue."" Nostradamus predicts nuclear war in 1999, but not the end of the world until 3498. The mys-tics of today preferred to ignore the only proven member of their craft, however, and The End had the effect of invalidating the Frenchman's predictions for the next 1533 years.
