Instead, let's all take a closer look at Baba Vanga and her miraculously specific predictions for the rest of humanity. Baba Vanga was Bulgarian clairvoyant and herbalist. She was lived from 1911 - 1996. Baba was blinded in a childhood accident, and it was then that she also claimed to have received her "gift" or seeing the future. She claims to have predicted the total history of the world from the mid-90's all the way to 5079, her predicted date for the end of the world.
It's worth taking a look at. If not for pure interest, then for the chuckle you get from some of her more... quirky predictions, such as "2291 – The sun cools. Attempts were being made to light it again." or of course "4599 – People achieve immortality."
Some of her predictions, such as the ones about feuding countries, or war, seem very realistic, and in fact logical as well. However, her predictions are laced with absolutely ridiculously impossible ones, like "2164 – Animals turn half-human." That simply can not happen. Evolution takes millions of years, not 150. The thing is, that despite these cooky predictions, they can almost be discounted because of the harsh reality of the other ones she made. Here are a few of the ones that seem eerily real to me for numerous reasons. Remember, she made these in the late 1900's, shortly before her death. At this time, technology was not nearly where it is today, so these predictions are made all the more astonishing.
2010 – World War III. War will begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. Will begin as usual, then nuclear will be used initially, and then chemical weapons.
2011 – As a result of the fallout of nuclear fallout in the northern hemisphere will not be any animals or vegetation. Then Muslims will wage war against chemical surviving Europeans.
2014 – Most people will suffer skin cancer and other skin diseases (a consequence of chemical warfare).
2016 – Europe almost lonely (empty).
2018 – New China becomes a world power. Developing countries in turn operated from exploiters.
2023 – A little bit of change in the Earth’s orbit.
2025 – Europe still little settled.
2028 – Creating a new energy source (probably a controlled thermonuclear reaction). Hunger is gradually being overcome. Launched a manned spacecraft to Venus.
2033 – The polar ice are melting. Greater levels of the oceans.
2043 – The world economy is thriving. In Europe, Muslims rule.
These predictions, especially the first one about how World War III begins in November 2010, isn't as far-fetched as many think. Sure, it's now December, and we're all safe and sound. However, the foundation for war was partially laid in November. Remember the North Korean artillery bombardment on South Korea, not to mention the countless nuclear weapons at their disposal? The transition from normal weapons to nuclear to chemical is also a very natural progression of things, and one that I'm shocked was made in the 1900's and to such accuracy. The following predictions are also all very realistic. Skin cancer is of course a viable result of chemical/nuclear warfare. China is already on the path to become a world power. Thermonuclear technology (creating an artificial sun) has been in the works for the recent years, but science has been unable to provide a way to sustain a stable source of it. The polar ice levels melting is also becoming a growing problem. As for the Muslims, they are growing faster and faster every single day and I do believe they could overtake all other religions in a short time.
Her predictions after that point of 2043 seem more far-fetched to me. But, then again, if you told me 10 years ago that all the information in the world would be available online, or that technology to watch television in high quality 3-Dimensional projection would be available to the masses, I would have said you were crazy. Maybe her future predictions seem strange now, but in the future, they will be just a normal part of life.
