Soothsayers are mysterious, mystical personalities whose lives are shrouded in fiction. They know how to look beyond the present and try to warn about the future. Their words make philosophers, politicians and ordinary people rack their brains. We present to your attention the most famous seers.
Cassandra
A Seer is not necessarily a man. History remembers Cassandra, who by all means wanted to warn the Trojans about the death of the city. It was difficult to believe in it, so everyone decided that the girl had just gone out of her mind. The seer tried to take a desperate step and kill Paris, because of which the war was supposed to start, but she could not do it. And her persuasion to leave Elena did not lead to anything. The girl's father ordered her to be locked in a tower, and after the fall of the city, she fell into slavery, and then became the concubine of King Agamemnon. The seer, the king and their children were brutally murdered during one of the holidays.
Vanga
This is the most famous soothsayer of the last century. People from all over the world came to the Bulgarian clairvoyant. She was able to predict victoryThe Soviet Union in World War II, the "Red" regime in their homeland, the death of Stalin and the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. Of course, this is not a complete list. Some predictions are still secret.
Wolf Messing
This soothsayer is an outstanding personality whose phenomenon is still being studied. Stalin himself communicated with the seer and listened to his advice. His main work was as a variety artist, but people remembered him as a mystic and soothsayer who could predict the defeat of the Germans in the war, the death of the leader and his own death. According to contemporaries, Wolf at the end of his life was very nervous and was afraid of everything.
Edgar Cayce
The list of soothsayers would be incomplete without Edgar Cayce. This American-born visionary saw the human invention of the laser, the Great Depression, and the fall of communism in the USSR. Edgar died in 1945 long before the events of perestroika, and there were still about 15 years before the first lasers.
Nostradamus
He is a seer and healer who lived in sixteenth century France. He wrote many different texts relating to different time periods, including the change of the Romanov royal dynasty, the revolution in France, and even the time of Stalin, but the texts are too confusing, so they are often "tailored" to the events that have already happened. Most predictions have not yet been deciphered. Nostradamus was persecuted, so he carefully concealed the text of what was written.
Soothsayers are people endowed witha special gift to see what is imperceptible to everyone else, but nothing human is alien to them. They tried to help others, but most of them had a difficult fate. Who knows, maybe the trials are the payment for the greatest gift they had.
