A Brazilian man who has been nicknamed the 'living Nostradamus' made a concerning prediction this week, claiming that World War III is incoming.
The alleged prophet and seer, whose real name is Athos Salomé, has been in the headlines time and time again for his claims.
And some of them have been scarily accurate.
His name comes from the philosopher and astrologer of the same name, who became notorious in the 16th century for making a number of alarmingly bang-on predictions about the future of our planet.

So, what has the living Nostradamus previously accurately predicted?
Salomé claims to have foreseen the coronavirus pandemic, and actually thinks another one could be heading our way.
He believes lethal viruses - which have been entombed in ice in Antarctica for years - will 'sweep the world' from the South Pole 'and 'the fight against this new virus will take longer than one can imagine'.
"If this new virus goes unchecked, suffering, mental and material damage will proliferate death and this virus will be known as the greatest grim reaper in history," he said.
Salomé also claims to have predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on 8 September, 2022 at the age of 96.
Last year, airports, banks and hospitals were sent into chaos when technology software around the world suffered a major outage.
It was a result of a faulty CrowdStrike update, but Salomé claims he also foresaw this happening when he predicted 'days of darkness' caused by a tech blackout.
Just hours before the Paris Olympics kicked off last year, news broke that a cyber attack had prevented tourists travelling into the French capital.
Salomé sent tongues wagging after he noted that it was an 'ideal attack target', and he was correct in his prophecy.
Speaking to the Daily Mail ahead of the games, Salomé said: "Events of such magnitude like Olympics would be the ideal attack targets, capable of causing disturbances in the existing order.
"It correctly demonstrates my hypothesis when the French authorities acted quickly and increased its cybersecurity measures."
Musk took over Twitter - now called X - back in October 2022. But prior to this, Salomé did make an eerily close prediction about a leading name in the tech industry.
Salomé said at the end of 2023 that there could be some natural disasters, especially in Asia.
He later claimed he correctly predicted the typhoon Yagi, which impacted Vietnam, China, Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Macao last year.
"In September of 2024 real events supported these expectations with typhoon Yagi, which affected and brought a large amount of damages to these parts of the world," he said.
In recent weeks, Salomé has turned his attention towards the notion of an armageddon, predicting that a 'dangerous global crisis' is likely to spark an almighty world battle.
As such, Salomé has urged his followers to 'pay attention to the signs' of global warfare, sharing visions of a global collapse.
The prediction was supposedly sparked by a stream of separate geopolitical movements, which he says 'form a complete strategic pattern' pointing to something as devastating as the previous two World Wars.
"An invisible war has broken out in the Baltic Sea," Salomé warned recently. "Another interruption occurred in the cable network in 2023, which disrupted communication systems throughout Finland.
"These attacks continue to happen, which has led NATO to increase security measures in the area, while the European Union develops emergency procedures to protect critical infrastructure."
