I just watched the history channel it talked about Merlin.....?

Question

I just watched the history channel it talked about Merlin the wizard you know the one during the Medevial days any ways it said that the fake Merlin was a wizard that helped the king of his time then they said that the real Merlin was actually a dark wizard that lived in the woods they also said that he also predicted the end was 2012

do you think this is real or fake

Answer 1

That is complete Bullsh*t, Merlin was the same thing I am, A Druid. also he predicted no such thing.

Answer 2

The History Channel has really gone downhill from when I last saw it...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but they were on crack when they made that. I'm honestly not sure if Merlin existed, or if he was around at that time, but I am quite sure he didn't predict the 2012 Armageddon.

2012 is the end of the Aztec calendar. They had many philosophers and scholars who created their calendar, (which is actually more accurate than our current calendar) and predicted when it started, the 11th of August, 3114 BC, and when it ended, the 21st of December, 2012. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like Merlin was in quite the right time or place to have anything to do with it.

Answer 3

If you real what to find the answer go to the library and look him up you may find varies stories but the one that is most common should be close to the true

However, personal I feel he not real at all

Answer 4

fake

Answer 5

I think some wires got crossed in that documentry. Merlin was a well known wizard in England.

Or as the first guy said a druid who was in fact very powerful.

And no one truly predicted the end of the world on 2012. Those are jus numbers. The number of year doesn't matter.

Answer 6

Merlyn was his name you need to not get your info from historical fantasy

the 2 historical Merlyns were Myrddin Wyllt and Merlin Ambrosius, or Myrddin Emrys

Answer 7

Merlin?

Merlin was not a guy's name it was a title, no one seems to be picking this up in any bits of travested information.

A merlin was a messenger, it can also be interpreted as a seer or messenger of the gods :P

There was no one person named Merlin, there were many and that is exactly why there are conflicting bits of information about who and what merlin was.

When you run into anyone in the magic community that says they are the reincarnation of Merlin, that's the first clue you should take that they are full of c**p.

Answer 8

Fake.

Merlin didn't make any predictions about 2012 - that's a Mayan issue that people have misinterpreted.

And Merlynn was a sorcerer, some say a necromancer.
