End of the world myths?
Hey, can anybody point me somewhere that details different end of the world mythologies from the major religions?

How about if anyone could add non-religious end-world scenarios?

In Hinduism, the apocalypse if of general nature. Earthquakes, fire, flood all will happen at once once Kalki, the last incarnation of Vishnu, had appeared riding on a white horse and brandishing a sword.
all creation would be annihilated and all souls return to Brahman and there would only be a timeless void till it starts creation anew. |
