#10. Curse Of The Emperor
In June 1941, A group of soviet archeologist led by Tash Muhammed Kary Niyazov and Mikhail Mikhaylovich Gerasimov began excavation in Gur-e-Amir - where the Tomb of one of the greatest invaders/butchers lay- Timur
The
team was warned time and again that this may well be a bad idea as
people of samarkand believed it would bring bad luck to the people.
The epitaph on Timur's gravestone warns against disturbing the spirit of the great conqueror. It prophesies that "the greatest war will happen if the grave of Timur is open" It basically stated that an invader even more brutal than him will be unleashed.
And guess what, two days after the Tomb was opened, Nazi Germany started
Operation Barbarossa to invade The Soviet Union.
To add to that, a turning point in the war came after the Battle of Stalingrad- A month earlier Stalin had ordered the return of the remains of Timur with full honours. Operation Uranus turned the tide of war and favored the Soviets.
#9. Mark Twain and Halley's Comet
In 1909, Mark Twain said
His prediction was accurate—Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, at the age of 74, in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth.
Mark Twain
Halley's Comet
I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together'.

#5. King Umberto I of Italy
On
July 28th 1900, King Umberto I went to a small restaurant in Monza for
dinner. There was much excitement in the restaurant. The owner came out
to take the King's order personally. This shocked the King, not because
the owner was taking his order but because the two of them were like
peas in a pod - identical! Same facial looks, build and so on and the
King found out there was more - lots more.
As we can imagine, the King was knocked out by this doppelganger, so much so that he decided that the following day the owner should visit the royal palace.
The next day arrived, as they often do, and it was the 29th of July 1900. Umberto, the restaurant owner, couldn't however take up his invitation. He had been killed in a shooting accident.
The King was deeply shocked. The very same day an assassin aimed his gun and shot the King through the heart.
- The King and the restaurant owner both had the same name, Umberto.
- Both were born on March 14, 1844 and in the same town. But it didn't end there.
- Their wives were called Margherita and both couples were married on the same day
- Both the couples had a son named Vittorio.
- King Umberto was crowned on the same day the restaurant was opened by Umberto the owner.
- They served in the Italian military and were both promoted on the same day to different ranks.

The King was deeply shocked. The very same day an assassin aimed his gun and shot the King through the heart.
- The final coincidence was, therefore, that they were both killed on the same day.
#4. Ferrari-Ozil, Reincarnation?
Enzo Ferrari, who founded the Ferrari company, died in 1988. About a month later, the footballer Mesut Özil was born. Looking at their portraits, you could be forgiven for thinking they’re twin brothers. Is this a case of reincarnation?
#3. Titanic Prediction?
In 1898, 14 years before the sinking of theTitanic, fantasy writer Morgan Robertson wrote the novella Futility, which told the story of a ship that was sunk — and which bore the name The Titan.
But it wasn’t just the name where we can see an eerie coincidence. Both
the fictional and real ship were described as unsinkable, had similar
technical characteristics, lacked a suitable number of lifeboats, and
collided with icebergs in the North Atlantic.
After the sinking of the Titanic, the book was republished with the title Futility, or The Sinking of the Titan.
#2. Allan Poe's Time Machine
In the book The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket,
written by Edgar Allan Poe, we learn the story of four sailors who
survived the sinking of their ship and were forced to eat a shipboy
called Richard Parker. Po claimed that this story was based on real-life
events, but this wasn’t actually the case.
46
years after the book was written, an actual boat did sink, and the
members of the crew who were saved recounted how they had eaten a ship boy called...Richard Parker. This led to rumors that the famous
American writer had owned a time machine.
#1. President Trump Prediction?
The creators of Simpsons made an episode in the year 2000 which made a joke about Donald Trump becoming president of the United States. Could they ever have guessed that one day it would become true?
Even more
amazing is the fact that the show presented Trump’s election campaign
in a way that was almost identical to scenes from real life when he
launched his presidential bid!!!
