What the viral “Hopi prophecies” actually are — and where they came from:

Hopi prophecy describes cycles of worlds, with humanity currently in the Fourth World, facing a potential transition to a harmonious Fifth World, signaled by signs like technological advancements (horseless wagons, sky roads), environmental destruction (nuclear fallout, "gourd of ashes"), and a spiritual "Blue Star Kachina" appearing before purification and rebirth, urging humanity to respect Earth, live compassionately, and correct past greed to achieve a balanced future.

This Bulgarian mystic and fortune teller named Baba Vanga apparently made some prophecies that folks debate about in terms of accuracy. Like many prophets, people interpret her visions differently.

Nostradamus, a 16th-century French astrologer and seer, is famous for his book "Les Prophéties," a collection of quatrains (four-line verses) that some believe predict future events. Many of his predictions are vague and open to interpretation, which has allowed people to connect them to various historical events long after they occurred.
