While most of us are very familiar with prophets like Nostradamus, or Baba Vanga, the truth is, there are many who have spoken about the future of our civilization in the distant past.
If we take a look at ancient history, we will discover that the ancient Hopi and Hindu also made various predictions of events that have not yet developed.
Ancient Hindu prophecies
The apocalypse for the Hindu is the end of the natural world in the fourth age, the Kali era. Curiously, it is not an apocalypse but a series of apocalypses, each of which marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
Written in the Hindu Puranas considered as a writing of mythology and history are a set of Hindu prophecies:
Dharma becomes very weak in the Kali Era. People commit sin in mind, speech and actions.
Fights, plague, deadly diseases, famines, drought and calamities appear.
Testimonies and evidence are not certain. There is no criterion left when the Age of Kali is established.
People become poorer in vigor and shine.
They are wicked, full of anger, sinful, false, and greedy.
Bad ambitions, bad manners, bad treatment and bad earnings excite fear.
Everyone becomes greedy and liars.
Many sudras will become kings, and many heretics will be seen.
There several sects will emerge; Sannyasins dressed in red clothing.
Many profess to possess supreme knowledge because by doing so they will easily earn their livelihood.
In the Kali era, there will be many false religious.
India will be devastated by repeated calamities, short lives, and various diseases.
Everyone will be miserable due to the dominance of vice and Tamoguna.
People will freely commit abortion.
The earth will be valued only for its mineral treasures.
Only money will confer nobility.
Power will be the only definition of virtue.
Pleasure will be the only reason for marriage.
Lust will be the only reason to be a woman.
Falsehood will triumph in disputes.
Being dry from water will be the only definition of land.
The merit of praise will be measured by the accumulated wealth.
Audacity and arrogance will be equivalent to erudition.
Only those without wealth will show honesty.
Only a bath will be equivalent to purification, and charity will be the only virtue.
Kidnapping will be marriage.
Simply being well dressed will mean ownership.
Any hard-to-reach water will be considered a place of pilgrimage.
Suffering from the cold, the wind, the heat and the rain, they will put on clothes made of tree bark and leaves.
And no one will live until twenty-three years.
Thus, in the Kali era, humanity will be totally destroyed.
Ancient Hopi Prophecies
“My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, as all our brothers on earth do. It will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. They told us of his coming a long time ago. But we still wait for Pahana.
He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that will identify him as our true white brother.
The Fourth World will end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This elders everywhere know it. The Signs for many years have been fulfilled.
This is the first sign: We are told of the arrival of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like the Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.
This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the arrival of spinning wheels full of voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes: White men carried their families in wagons across the prairies.
This is the third sign: A strange beast like a buffalo, but with large long horns, will invade the earth in great numbers. These white feathers saw with their eyes the coming of the cattle of the white men.
This is the Fourth Sign: The earth will be pierced by iron serpents.
This is the Fifth Sign: The earth will be crisscrossed by a giant spider web.
This is the sixth sign: The earth will be crisscrossed with the stone rivers that make pictures in the sun.
This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear that the sea turns black and that many living beings die because of it
This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many young people, who have long hair like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
And this is the ninth and last sign: you will hear of a dwelling place in heaven, on earth, which will fall with a great crash. It’ll appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.
These are the signs that great destruction is coming. The world will swing from side to side. The white man will fight against other people in other lands, with those who possessed the first light of wisdom.
There will be many columns of smoke and fire like the white man has seen done in the deserts not far from here.
Only those who come will cause illness and great death. Many of my people who have understood the prophecies will be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my town will also be safe.
Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon very soon afterwards Pahana will return. He will bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He will plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts.
Even now the seeds are being planted. This will facilitate the path to appearance in the Fifth World.
The claim of greatness will be the proof of it, and powerful men with many severe faults will rule over all classes on Earth.
Oppressed by their excessively greedy rulers, people will hide in the valleys between mountains, where they will collect honey, vegetables, roots, fruits, birds, flowers, and so on.”
