The final reason we know all to well: I'll just call it YK. It was simply hysteria surrounding the fact that the year 1,000 would be an important number.
Well, 1,000 came and went, The Vikings and Magyars were converted, the Moors were pushed back.... That was really the end of belief in the imminence of End of Times.
BTW, Torog, stop deluding yourself and others, it's useless.
