Throughout history there have been many people who have claimed that they can foretell the future and despite the fact that most of these people are certifiably insane, there are a scary number of events that can be related to some of their prophecies. These people are known as seers.

The video below charts the predictions of five of the greatest recorded seers in history: Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus, Ray Kurzweil, Baba Vanga and Mitar Tarabic. Many of them have allegedly correctly prophesied many significant events in world history, and their insights into 2017 don’t look too promising either, with most of them seemingly predicting the apocalypse. That’s not so good.

This is another quite long video, so perhaps save it for your train ride home or listen to it whilst you’re walking somewhere:

Wow. Whilst clearly a LOT of what these people are saying is up for interpretation, the fact that so much of what has happened throughout history can be related to them certainly gives some food for thought. We can only hope that their predictions for 2017 fall into the category of their prophecies that haven’t come true too, because if not then it looks like we’re going to be in for a hell of a wild ride this year. Not looking forward to it.

For more bad news about 2017, here’s another prediction from an expert who predicted both Brexit and Trump’s presidency. Really not looking too hot right now.
