Summary:
"Organized chronologically from Antiquity to modern times and beyond,
History
's Worst Predictions excavates the strata of
history
to expose the credulity and absurdity of humanity's prophetic utterances. Every aspect of human life—religion, politics, science, economy, culture, and war—has provided material for the most far-fetched and inaccurate of predictions. This beautifully illustrated, full-color volume contains photographs and maps that bring each chapter to life, depicting the people and places responsible for some of the most infamous
prophecies
in human
history
