"There is no evidence in the academic literature to suggest that any Nostradamus quatrain has ever been interpreted as predicting a specific event before it occurred, other than in vague, general terms that could equally apply to any number of other events. In particular, no quatrain suggests, as is often claimed by books and films on the alleged Mayan Prophecy, that the world will end in December 2012." (Lemesurier, Nostradamus, Bibliomancer)
Anyway, Nostradamus' "prophecies" go up to 3797. Some of his followers believe that means he predicted the world would end in 3797. At the very least, it's clear he did not predict it would end in 2012 at all!
"They would condemn that which future ages shall find and know to be true…(quatrains) are perpetual prophecies from this year to the year 3797, at which some perhaps will frown, seeing so large an extension of time…" (Nostradamus in a letter to his son).
