End of the world in less than 100 DAYS according to Viking mythology

Great Odin's ravens! The world is
set to end in 100 days but
according to Norse mythology the
mighty Thor could save the day.
Viking folklore had its own take on
the apocalypse called Ragnarok
which would involve gods smiting
each other, the sky stained with
poison and three freezing winters
- so we're a third of the way there
already.
Norse experts have calculated that
the viking gods are going to start
flinging magic hammers at each
other on February 22 2014 as
Thor's dad Odin gets mauled to
death by a wolf which will get the
ball rolling for the armageddon.
Skandinavian cultural boffins at
York's Jorvik viking centre have
heralded the beginning of the end
by blowing a sacred war trumpet.
Mythology states that the god
Heimdallr would blow the magical
Gjallerhorn to warn of Ragnarok
which means Doom of the Gods.
This will alert Odin's sons like
Thor to the battlefield.
God of thunder, Thor has
remained a cultural icon as a hero
of Marvel comics
most recently in the movie Thor:
The Dark World.
Ancient Swedes, Danes and
Norwegians believed that first a
freezing winter would come, then
all morality would disappear and
fights would break out all over the
world.
Then wolves would eat the sun
and the moon and finally the
daddy of gods Odin would bite the
dust at the fangs of another
lupine menace.
After Odin's demise, the world will
sink into the sea but then rise
again as a new utopia.
Smells fishy: 18 foot oarfish could
signify Odin's death
Jorvik viking centre boss Danielle
Daglan said: "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.
"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."
The legend states that "the first to
notice shall be man, brother will
fight brother and all the
boundaries that exist shall
crumble."
Viking experts have pointed out
that boundaries are already
crumbling through social
networking, so if Loki and Thor do
start brawling in your back garden
maybe consider closing that
Twitter account.
Ms Daglan said: "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."
Another part of the legend
suggests that the Midgard Serpent
will rise up from the ocean much
like the two huge fish which
appeared on a California beach
last month.
