The "Little Ice Age"

Pawn Stars is a fav of mine.

Consider it the antiques roadshow with realistic prices.

The history of past people speculating on the future is a stretch at best. 2012 has not happened yet, so we cannot call it history yet. I do not like some of their programming, but I won't go to their office armed.

A friend of mine was terrified of the 2012 prophecy. Until I explained it to him in a numerical way..

That's all history :) On 2012, and a study of the Mayan Calendar, the writing of Nostradamus are texts that have survived the test of time, etc.

There's also the "history" of the Great Pyramid code where they believe the internal path symbolically signifies humanities path. I find that much of this stuff doesn't stand the test of time. Cayce is interesting but many believe the attempts that have been made to discredit him. OTOH, IF interpreted with a clear eye, Revelations is pretty accurate. Unnervingly so.

the rants of a madman are often open to many interpretations.

If you make something open-ended enough, of course it is :)
