‘Twas the year 1999, and the world was on tenterhooks. We were in the grip of Y2K doomsday prediction paranoia. Many of us had been led to believe that all hell would break loose when the clock struck 12 on New Year’s Eve, and we moved over into a new millennium. Banks would freeze, traffic lights would go crazy. Heck, a few “experts” even said planes would fall from the sky. It’s no surprise then that some people thought we wouldn’t make it to see the light of day.

To say those predictions aged like milk is the understatement of the millennium. People held their breath as they counted down the last few seconds of the year. Then breathed a collective sigh of relief when life went on exactly as it was before. Y2K was just one of many times people got it wrong. But sometimes, predictions do come true.

Aged Like Wine is an online community where people share “things that have stood the test of time.” It has over 217,000 members. As the name suggests, it’s filled with posts “of wine quality” that “aged well”. Bored Panda has picked our favorites from the page. From politics, to technology and everything in between, it seems some people could have bet their bottom dollar when they made a prediction out of the blue. Don’t miss the interesting interviews we had with Nina Ashby and Kim Alexis, two psychics who are both experts in their field.

People have long been intrigued by what the future holds. They’ve sought the help of oracles, shamans, prophets, and psychics to use their “special powers” and prepare the world for what’s to come.

While we have been told countless times, and by many people, that the end of the earth is near, that day is yet to come. Some predictions, though, have come true…

Nostradamus and Baba Vanga are two of the most well-known seers in history. Revered by some, ridiculed by others, both still continue to be quoted centuries after their deaths. Depending on who you ask, both have had hits and misses.

Nostradamus was a French astrologer from the Renaissance era. Born in 1503, he is reported to have begun practicing medicine in the 1530s, “despite not only never having taken a medical degree but also apparently having been expelled from medical school.”

Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, or Baba Vanga, was a Bulgarian mystic and healer. She went blind as a child and claimed to be able to see far into the future. According to Baba Vanga, the world will end in 5079.

Nostradamus is credited (by some) for accurately predicting the death of King Henry II, the rise of Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, the Great Fire of London, the fall of the Twin Towers (9/11 attacks), the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and even the COVID-19 pandemic.

His book “Les Propheties” holds even more future predictions, some of which may or may not come true. Keep scrolling to find out what he believed 2025 holds for the human race…

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Nostradamus didn’t seem to think 2025 would be a good year for us. In fact, he warned of a very close call, saying a large asteroid would approach the earth with extreme proximity. He wrote that this would change our destiny and we’d be faced with massive natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and floods.

It’ll be even worse for the British, Nostradamus warned. “When those from the lands of Europe, see England set up her throne behind. Her flanks, there will be cruel wars,” he wrote. “The kingdom will be marked by wars so cruel, foes from within and without will arise. A great pestilence from the past returns, no enemy more deadly under the skies.”

Some have interpreted this to mean that England could face a double whammy of devastating wars and the resurgence of an old or ancient plague.

As for Baba Vanga, who became known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans,” she’s credited with predicting the accidental death of Princess Diana and the election of America’s first black president, Barack Obama.

Baba Vanga seemed to echo some of Nostradamus’ sentiments, saying that 2025 would see a conflict in Europe that will devastate the continent’s population. The psychic believed that this year will see the beginning of the apocalypse. A series of events over the coming years will eventually result in the world ending in 5079.
