===Hinduism=== In [[Hinduism]], the history of mankind is described in four religious (''[[Dharma#Hinduism|dharmic]]'') ages [[Yuga|(''yugas'')]], which depict a gradual decline in religious activities, only to be renewed at the end to start a new [[Yuga Cycle|cycle]] of the four ages. At the end of the ''[[Kali Yuga]]'', the current and last age in a cycle, [[Kalki]], the tenth ''[[Dashavatara#List of Avatars|avatar]]'' of [[Vishnu]], is prophesied to appear to punish the wicked, reward the good, and inaugurate the ''[[Satya Yuga]]'' of the next cycle. Kalki is the last ''avatar'' in the current cycle.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Sanskrit Epics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HR-_LK5kl18C&pg=PA287|access-date=2020-07-30|isbn=9004102604|language=en|last1=Brockington|first1=J.
