A 'Time Traveler' from 2030 Predicts Shocking Life Events... And Passes a Lie Detector Test

The following article was obtained through the website, Past Chronicles and written by Anna Klein.

In a recent video that went viral, a time traveler from the year 2030 revealed some crazy predictions about our future. Since then, tongue-in-cheek articles have emerged that made many people question the story’s credibility and call it “fake news”, but there are plenty of reasons to believe this man’s story.

First, he successfully passed a lie detector test similar to the one that Edward Snowden took back in 2014. It’s important to note that polygraph tests can only tell you if someone is lying or not; they cannot confirm the reason for their answer (you could be telling the truth and feeling nervous).

Many believed that his claims were a hoax, but he managed to baffle everyone when he passed a polygraph test.

Here are some of the wild predictions that this man from the future has made. Some of them have already come true. You decide for yourself what you believe!

As it stands, we have almost reached the point where we can simply delete any technology that causes harm to our planet. But what will this change look like? In 2030, we may have unlimited power and no health problems!

The man claims that he is from a time when AI (or “artificial intelligence,” as he calls it) is already being used in many areas of technology.

For example, he claims that we don’t have to be worried about automation taking our jobs anymore because we already have driverless cars and other machines to do most of the work for us. He also says that medical breakthroughs are “no longer just happening in the lab,” Healthcare can be obtained with a simple brain scan.

Most importantly, his prediction about the future of money is so accurate that business insiders are discussing it and taking the time to look into the man’s claims.

“Our global currency is called the dollar,” he says in his blog post. “It is directly linked to the creation of new U.S. government debt, which means that when we run a deficit (through either tax cuts or war spending), dollars are created out of thin air.”

The time traveler goes on to say how this system has been going on since 1980 and how it will continue until around 2040-2050, at which point, we will be swapping our current dollar for a much more stable one called “the blockchain”.

But what is this blockchain? According to a recent article, the blockchain is a technology that “enables a peer-to-peer network to agree on a single version of the truth”. Essentially, it’s an open-source database that will allow many individuals to hold a record of their transactions without having to trust anyone else.

The time traveler says that in 2030, a new planet has been discovered in our solar system, which he claims is between Mars and Jupiter. The planet is made of pure diamond and is orbited by two moons. He also claims that many people are using this planet as a new place to live because Earth’s population has skyrocketed and is limited by the size of our planet. 

This isn’t the first time someone has predicted something like this. In 2007, a man said that there was a planet located near Mars in our solar system, which is made of diamonds and had many tiny diamonds orbiting around it.

Space has been a concern for a while now, with advancements being made by NASA and SpaceX. The traveler predicts a Mars travel race.

Technology advancements will occur quickly and fast until earth achieves a one-way expedition to Mars. Could we be touring Mars sooner than we think?

Get your bags ready; we are going to Mars. According to the time traveler, you will be able to tour Mars privately in the next decade.

The traveler didn’t give much information about how this will happen given the ‘one-way expedition’ situation. To explore space and Mars, I say bring it on!

Homeschooling Will Become the New Norm ©Source: businessday.ng

Another prediction was about the future of education. He claims that children will learn more from the internet at home instead of going to school. He also predicts that our children will be able to travel through time using pictures, texts, and information stored on their phones. 

About the future of education, he has a point there. With technology and science getting better and better every day, it’s just a matter of time, right? He also claims that women can choose between marriage or working, which is rather pragmatic for the future.

But who is this guy giving great insights about our education system? When asked who he was and how he got these predictions, this was his response: 

“I’m not an angel nor Satan. I’m a time traveler from 2030. I can tell you everything you want to know about the future. I also explain why there is an apparent lack of smart people on Earth.”

Utopia in 2030: ‘Flying cities’ With Only a Few Buildings ©Source: Pinterest

The time traveler from 2030 also predicted a utopia in the year 2030. He described a world with flying cities, where the buildings are only a few stories tall. 

He said that these cities will be powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and will be connected by a network of teleportation portals. He added that these cities will be so advanced that they will be able to produce food, water, and other resources adequate for all the inhabitants.

Transport in the future is also really advanced. The network of teleportation portals connecting different cities will enable people to travel between cities almost instantly. 

He also said that these cities will be so advanced and efficient that they will not need any kind of police or military forces. This would be a utopia, indeed, where people can live peacefully without fear of violence or oppression.

Electric Vehicles Future ©Source: techonline.com

With different electric cars already in the market, the time traveler also touched on the future of electric-powered vehicles. He claims that in an effort to reduce the use of fossil fuels, more and more electric cars will be invented, with most driverless vehicles.  

The cars in the future will also have longer-lasting batteries than what we have currently. A full EV battery charge will be able to run for about 600 miles. I mean, how cool is that? 

Self-sufficiency on a New Level – All Thanks to Satellites ©Source: hobbyfarms.com

The time traveler 2030 predicted that the world will be self-sufficient by 2030. He said satellites will provide us with the necessary resources to sustain ourselves. He also mentioned that this technology will provide food, energy, and water to all countries in the world. 

This will ensure that people have access to necessary resources without worrying about running out of them. He also said that this technology will help us monitor the environment and ensure it is not being polluted.

According to the traveler, technology will help us monitor the climate and ensure that it is not getting damaged due to global warming. This would mean that we could take a proactive approach to climate change instead of waiting for it to happen and not being able to do anything about it.

The time traveler predicted that we will live to be 300 years old. He believes this because his great-grandfather lived to be 300 years old, and he completely understood how his great-grandfather’s body worked. 

If the current statistics are anything to go by, in 2050 you’ll only live to be 125 years old compared to 250 years ago. In 3060, you can only reach 120, and in 9100, you’ll be lucky to reach 100. So, what makes the time traveler think we will live another 200 years? He claims that scientists have done experiments with genetics, and it’s possible for us to make improvements in how our bodies work.

The traveler couldn’t leave netizens without having a say in politics – he made another exciting prediction that raised many eyebrows. He claimed that Trump will win the presidential election and return to the White House.

The traveler, however, didn’t comment on who Trump’s opponent will be. So, will Trump make a comeback, and will we see him ascend into power? Only time will tell. 

It’s Looking Good for Foodies ©Source: baysidegroup.com

Another interesting prediction was about food. In 2030, there will be no more supermarkets, but rather a single store that sells everything you want. 

In this store, he says that in addition to computers and phones, there will be food-delivery drones as well as robots that can perform tasks to serve customers. On this one, he’s not kidding: there is a drone that can fly and deliver food in Japan.

Is the World Finally Turning Vegan? ©Source: piperleaf.net

It doesn’t stop there! He said that 50 years after everyone stops eating food, people will choose to become vegetarian or vegan. It’ll be normal for people not to eat meat since it’ll be way more expensive than the less potent alternatives.

In the future, it will be easier to grow food using different ways such as hydroponics (growing plants in water). Technology will make eating meat a thing of the past!

In the future, “the average person will have a diet of “Kale, kale, kale, kale, and more kale.” He also predicts that our future food will be so healthy that people won’t even need to eat anymore. He describes this ‘Kale Food’ as raw fruit, vegetables, grasses and grains. 

I don’t know about you, but this sounds like the perfect diet for a healthy lifestyle! I guess we can’t fault him for predicting our diet when health is already improving with technology. He has his facts straight!

The Question About Cancer Treatment ©Source: canver.gov

A lot of people are wondering about the future of cancer treatment. He claims that cancer was already cured in 2030 with a pill called ‘Xtend’. The traveler claims that scientists in the future can grow new organs from a person’s DNA. 

There’s no doubt that we have been making a lot of progress with our medicine, so perhaps it won’t be long before we can “grow” ourselves new organs.

While on the topic, the time traveler also says that in 2030, we will be able to see a person’s life in real time as we speak. He further adds that in 2030, most people will become part of a “bio-hacking collective” and get to choose their fate. 

Humans in the future will be able to engineer foods and animals genetically so they are better suited for survival on the future planet. I must say, the future is looking bright!

Is The Future of Medicine and Anatomy Worthless? ©Source: nature.com

No, the future of medicine and the body is not worthless. The time traveler from 2030 made some very inspiring predictions about medicine. He predicted that by 2030, the technology will be so advanced that it will be able to cure the most challenging diseases and even reverse the effects of aging. 

So, the future of medicine and the body should never be dismissed. It seems that the time traveler from 2030 has some interesting predictions.

He also predicted that the technology will be so advanced that it will be able to repair damaged organs and tissues and even create artificial organs from scratch. This would mean that people can live longer and healthier lives without worrying about costly surgeries or treatments. 

The technology being used in the future will be able to detect and treat diseases before they become life-threatening, which would be a breakthrough in the field of medicine.

The World Will Witness a Major War ©Source: Imgur

The time traveler was also a carrier of bad news. The world has witnessed different wars, including Ukraine and Russia’s most recent war.  

But who will be involved in this war? This guy predicted the US, China, and the Korean peninsula. He also made it clear that this war would not lead to World War III. 

But Who Is This Time Traveler? ©Source: dailydot.com

It is unclear who the time traveler from 2030 is. He claims to be a time traveler from the year 2030, but there is no way to verify this claim. It is possible that he is simply a clever hoaxer with a knack for predicting trends and future technologies, or actually, he could be from the future. 

In any case, the time traveler from 2030 has fascinating insights about the world that are worth looking further into.   

Is He Really From the future? ©Source: GreatScott/ twitter

One can never truly know if the time traveler from 2030 came from the future or not. He has some interesting predictions, but there is no way to verify them until the year 2030 arrives. 

All we can do is wait and see if his predictions come true. In the meantime, keep your eyes wide open and with an open mind…it doesn’t hurt to listen to others with different perspectives on the future.

They say time heals; all you have to do is wait and see. After all, the future is something that we cannot predict, so it is vital to remain open and flexible to the possibilities. 

The predictions could be true or false; there’s no way to tell. Only time can tell if the time traveler came from the future. Until then, we can only speculate and look forward to 2030.

Wrapping It Up ©Source: Youtube

To answer the question about whether or not this man has pure intentions and is definitely from the time he is claiming he is from, there are plenty of reasons to believe that he is. The fact that he passed a polygraph test and his predictions were so accurate should also make us question his claims further. 

It’s also possible that we may one day in the future live in an AI and blockchain technology world, but I hope not. More information about this story is required, and it’s good to know that people are taking the time to look deeper into it.

10 Ancient Cities Once Thought To Be Mythical That Have Actually Been Discovered

The following article was © Provided by TheTravel and written by Aaron Spray. Google Images provided by Who's ? Right blog.

  • Mycenae, once thought to be mythical, is now one of Greece's greatest archaeological sites. (Bronze Age Greece, Modern Country: Greece)
  • The ancient city of Babylon, mentioned in the Bible, was discovered near Baghdad in Iraq. (Babylonian Civilization, Modern Country: Iraq)
  • Troy, the counterpart to Mycenae in Homer's Iliad, has been identified in Turkey south of Istanbul. (Trojan Civilization, Modern Country: Turkey)

Ancient history is shrouded in myth and legend, and picking the real from the fictional is tricky at best. Sometimes, legendary cities turn out to have actually existed (at least in some form), while other legendary places like the biblical Sodom and the ancient Greek mythical city of Atlantis remain debated.

It was once thought that great Bronze Age cities like Mycenae were mythical, but they have been found to have been real (Mycenae was one of the greatest Greek cities of its time). Here are ten legendary cities that turned out to be real.

Babylon

Ruins of Babylon, Mesopotamia, Iraq

Babylon was one of the greatest cities in Mesopotamia and was at the heart of two powerful empires, the Babylonian Empire (famous for its king Hammurabi) and the Neo-Babylonian Empire (famous for its king Nebuchadnezzar).

Babylon is extensively referenced in the Bible but had been thought to be mythical until it was discovered near Bagdad in Iraq.

Civilization: Babylonian

Modern Country: Iraq

Mycenae

Ancient Site of Mycenae

Mycenae was one of the greatest Bronze Age Greek cities and was at the center of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad (about the Siege of Troy).

Agamemnon was the king of Mycenae and led the campaign against Troy in the story. It was thought to have been a myth, but now it is one of the greatest archeological attractions in Greece.

Civilization: Bronze Age Greece

Modern Country: Greece

Troy

Archaeological Site of Troy

The Iliad counterpart to Mycenae is Troy. It had been thought not to exist, but now researchers are somewhat confident that it has been identified in Turkey south of Istanbul.

The archeological site of Troy is open to the public and has many layers of successive cities.

Vinland

Archaeological Site of Vinland 

Vinland is the mythical land to the east found by Viking explorers and settlers from Greenland.

For a long time, this story was thought to have been mythical until the abandoned Viking settlement was found at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, in 1960. It turns out the Vikings beat Christopher Columbus to discover and settle the New World exactly 1,000 years ago.

Civilization: Viking

Modern Country: Canada

Ninevah

Archaeological Site of Ninevah

The scholarly skepticism of the existence of Babylon extended to the Assyrian Empire and the city of Ninevah. Ninevah was the ancient capital city of Assyria and is located in modern-day Mosul in Iraq.

For a period, it was the largest city in the world. It was mostly abandoned by the 13th century AD and was only rediscovered in the mid-19th century.

Civilization: Assyria

Modern Country: Iraq

Hattusa

Archaeological Site of Hattusa

Hattusa was the impressive capital of the ancient Hittite Empire in central Turkey (also believed to have been a myth).

It became an early UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 and is among the oldest archeological attractions to have on the bucket list in Turkey.

Civilization: Hittite

Modern Country: Turkey

Heracleion (Or Thonis)

Archaeological Site of Heracleion

Heracleion was an ancient Egyptian port city near the mouth of the Nile, around 20 miles from Alexandria. Its existence is known from ancient accounts, but scholars were skeptical.

That is, until it was found that, like Atlantis, it had slipped below the waves in the Mediterranean. It is now over 7 kilometers or 4 miles off the coast and under 19 feet or 6 meters of water.

Civilization: Ancient Egypt

Modern Country: Egypt

Assur

Archaeological Site of Assur

Assur, or Ashur, was another of the great cities of ancient Assyria. It was the capital of the Old Assyrian Empire and, for a period, the Neo-Assyrian Empire.

Its limited remains are found on the western bank of the Tigris River in northern Mesopotamia in Iraq. It is around 60 miles south of ancient Nineveh.

Civilization: Assyria

Modern Country: Iraq

Great Zimbabwe

Archaeological Site of Great Zimbabwe

Great Zimbabwe is one of the most important and largest archeological sites in Southern Africa, and it could have been home to up to 18,000 people.

It was reported by early 16th-century Portuguese traders who heard stories of the ancient site, but the tales of a great non-European fortress were dismissed by Europeans until it was discovered in the 19th century and documented.

White City / La Ciudad Blanca

Archaeological Site of White City

When the Spanish arrived in Central America, there were tales of a city hiding a great amount of wealth in the jungles of Honduras. The early Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes sought it but did not find it. In 1936, it was claimed the legendary city was found in the Mosquitia region of Honduras.

These days, a number of sites have been found, and the suggestion is the legendary White City could have been any one of them.

Civilization: Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica
