Will the world end in 100 days? Sounding of ancient trumpet in York warns of Viking apocalypse on 22 February 2014 Legend has it that on this day, the god Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir The soil and the sky will be stained with poison and the sea will rear up Prior to the apocalypse, three freezing winters would follow each other The sound of the horn is supposed to call the sons of Odin to the battlefield, where Odin will ultimately be killed
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.

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.
