Baba Vanga, also known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans, has shocked and amazed people across the globe for years with her eerily prescient predictions.
Vanga, who was also known as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, gained global fame as a Bulgarian mystic and healer, before passing away in 1996, aged 84.
She became famous for predicting global earth-shattering events such as 9/11 and the death of Princess Diana.
And if her previous predictions are anything to go by, the next 3,000 years on earth could be a bumpy ride for the human race.

But what are her predictions for the next 3,000? We explored some of the mystics more outlandish claims.
It seems that 2026 isn't going to be a quiet year either.
Baba Vanga predicted that Earth could have it's first run in with aliens by November 2026, suggesting a giant space craft could enter our atmosphere.
She also predicted that this could be the year World War III breaks out, beginning in either Russia or China as geo-political tensions across the globe heighten.
Vanga allegedly warned that machines and AI will heavily dominate critical infrastructure, financial networks, and global decision-making - now this does sound familiar.
Believers tie this prophecy to widespread labor displacement, severe ethical dilemmas, and a resulting global economic crisis driven by digital manipulation and supply chain disruptions.
The mystic reportedly predicted that violent seismic shifts and extreme weather would devastate roughly 7% to 8% of the Earth's landmass - something we could attribute to El Niño wreaking havoc across the globe.
On a more positive note, Vanga suggests we could be seeing major breakthroughs in medical science.
Observers suggest 2026 will be a foundational year for multi-cancer early-detection blood tests hitting mainstream national screening programs. Her timeline also hints at significant progress in human cloning, genetic engineering, and lab-grown synthetic organs
2028
This is the year that humans will expand space exploration to Venus, Indy100 reports of Vanga's forecast.
Her prediction comes despite Venus being seen as 'an unlikely place for human exploration' for many experts because of the planet's ' extreme and deadly conditions'.
According to The Planetary Society, even the most advanced spacesuits wouldn't protect astronauts. But who knows, maybe this could change in the near future...

2033
According to Vanga, 2033 is when the polar ice caps will melt following years of climate change.
Her theory is backed by the World Wide Fund for Nature, which says that the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by 2040.
The organization says we lose 13 percent of Arctic sea ice each decade.

2076
Communism will spread in 2076, Vanga has predicted. This won't just be in Soviet states either, but across the globe.
As in stands, only five countries are currently communist states: China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea.
2130
As seen in Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's 2011 movie Paul, 2130 will supposedly be the year we make contact with aliens.
Similar to Vanga, a group of scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, said last year that they think extraterrestrials will make contact with us in 2029.
The experts believe that aliens might have intercepted a signal sent to the probe in 2002, and a return signal is expected to reach Earth in five years time, Earth.com reported.

2170
This year is forecast to bring a global drought to Earth. The risk of a worldwide drought has been exacerbated in the wake of global warming.
The warmer the country, the more likely it will be to face such a harsh conditions in the future. As per S&P Global, Egypt, for example, is 'projected to be the most exposed by the 2050s, with almost 80 percent of the decade projected to be in severe or extreme drought conditions'.

A few decades on from finally making contact with aliens, humans will reportedly war with a civilization on Mars, says Vanga.
It isn't clear if it will be us or them or start the conflict.

1,773 years from now, humans will supposedly have to evacuate Earth because it will have become inhabitable.
In contrast, Steven Hawking said back in 2017 that the human race would have to leave the planet we call home within just 600 years.
"We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems," he told Futurism at the time.
"Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth."
