The world's most famous prophet. He began his career as a
plauge physician in 16th-century France. He
encoded his powerful visions of the future in four-line poems called "quartrains", using puns, word games, and astrological symbols to describe what was (and is) to come. Among the events he successfully forsaw include:
- The American and French relvolutions
- Both world wars
- The rises and falls of Napoleon and Hitler
- The assassination of JFK
- The
lunar landing
- The Russia revolution
- 9/11

Here's a sample of a
quatrain:
"One who the infernal gods of Hannibal
Will call to be born, terror to all mankind:
Newspapers cannot tell of worse horror in the past,
They will come to the Romans through
Babel."
