But do you know the ancient monument where this evil cabal was supposed to meet? Hint

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Parthanon

Question 7 of 10

Just one of a whole slew of prophets living on an Marmora, Ontario, (Canada) farm, Dory has been receiving communications from a certain very important religious figure since 1992.

The Virgin Mary

Saint Peter

Peter Gabriel

8. Lest you think that the U.S. was the only place where people all hot and bothered over the Millennium, think again!

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. Let's wind up our tour of year 2000 apocalyptic panics with an old favorite, Nostradamus! Forecasting the End for 2000, one Internet prophet combined the quatrains of Nostradams with snippets from Revelation and came up with a novel new twist on an old End Times concept. Do you know what it is? Hint

Rod Steiger is the devil!

The Antichrist is a space alien.

There will be two Raptures.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Gary North

Self-described computer expert and Christian Reconstructionist "Scary Gary" North predicted a global computer meltdown, the total collapse of civilization and the ever-popular Wrath of God for the very stroke of midnight on January 1st, 2000. Supposedly respectable organs of journalism (such as Time magazine and The New York Times) devoted an astonishing amount of ink to North's apocalyptic warnings.

When nothing even remotely like it happened, Scary Gary issued a quick apology and launched his next project - Internet Marketing.

Answer: The Great Pyramid of Giza

The merry band of illuminati that Icke & Marrs predicted would gather at the Great Pyramid included such usual suspects as George Bush, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger and assorted members of the British royal family. All of who are, in reality, evil alien lizards!

But fear not! Icke & Marrs had a plan to thwart the extraterrestrial doomsday plotters by zipping off to Egypt armed with a Bible and a genuine Zulu shaman. I don't know if they ever actually carried out their world saving mission, but it's fun to imagine.

3. Off in the wilds of Utah, Mormon splinter church leader James Harmston had what great eschatological event scheduled for April 6th?

Answer: The Second Coming Of Christ

Founder and patriarch of the "True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days", Harmston also believed himself to be the reincarnation of Joseph Smith. "God has shut the mouths of his servants and will begin to do His own work of rendering judgment and calamity upon the wicked and ungodly," he announced shortly before his doomsdate fizzled. Two years later, a couple former followers sued and won on the grounds that Harmston hadn't produced Jesus in the flesh.

Answer: An Ice Age

Noone's "5/5/2000 - Ice, the Ultimate Disaster" described how the five planet alignment would speed up the Earth's rotation. This would cause glaciers to engulf the planet in another Ice Age and send Toro's stock soaring on the stock market.

5. Meanwhile, somewhere in Arkansas, hydraulics specialist Larry Elder predicted that the May 5th planetary alignment would result in the earth's going boom via what worldwide catastrophe?

Answer: A Gigantic Solar Windstorm

"The computer problem will weed out a lot, and the solar wind will get the rest." Elder told Time magazine (1999-JAN-18). But his over-the-top end of everything just started with a Y2K meltdown. That would be followed by worldwide famine and social breakdown, an asteroid bombardment, a North/South pole flip-flop and only then would the killer solar windstorm turn the planet into a charcoal briquette.

His solution? Find a cave! "As soon as I get a cave, I'm going to live in it," Mr. Elder told Time. "I'll be the world's next caveman." I wonder if anyone has told Alley Oop it's safe to come out yet...

Answer: Jesus will return to earth...in a UFO!

Of course, according to Buffy, the U.S. government will try to shoot down ET-Jesus when he tries to land. But don't worry! All you need to do to escape God's Wrath is to join her church, the "Universal Sanctuary Salvation Enterprise" (And, yes, that is abbreviated "U.S.S. Enterprise." So?)

Answer: The Virgin Mary

Ya know, for my money, it just wouldn't be an apocalypse without the Virgin Mary. Fortunately, there were any number of Mary inspired prophets predicting the End in 2000.

Answer: The World Message Last Warning Church

Wilson Bushara, head of "The World Message Last Warning Church", had originally predicted The End for June 30, 1999. When that didn't pan out Wilson set the doomsdate ahead a year and, as the faithful were trying to figure that one out, took it on the lam while nobody was watching. A few months later the Ugandan police arrested Wilson and his few remaining followers.

"The Lord's Resistance Army" and "The Holy Spirit Movement" are two other Ugandan evangelical Christian groups. "The End-Times Church Of True Prophets" is just something I made up.

Answer: Prince Charles

What is it about Prince Charles that makes him a favorite suspect for Antichrist-hood? Maybe it's those ears. Mikhail Gorbachev and Bill Gates are also fairly popular suspects. But, so far as I know, no one has ever accused Wayne Newton of being the Evil One.

Answer: There will be two Raptures.

"Pastor Harry" runs an delightfully wiggy website called Escape 666 (http://www.satansrapture.com/) with just oodles of wacked-out prophecy for your perusal. Check it out!
