Codex Synergesticus - 2nd Kingdom prophecies - had 5 predictions from 120 to 320 YBP (years before present) - Battle of Enneacrunos, 2 earthquakes, first Permian War, and the assassination of Florian VI. Of events of the present day it says:

*Concerning the ascendency of the six six-fingered men*

*The first will put down the red pig, elevate the son of the pimp and the whore - who will break the back of the dragon and harness it and plough the red earth between the last olive tree and the sea. But the plough will break open the (muddy) spring and the whole land will be flooded.*

*The second will be shut up in a golden cage. He will drive a cart drawn by four white dogs, and only his daughter will be able to calm him. In his time, the flood-waters will rise until they wash the blood from the clouds, and there will be a day with no sun or moon. He will (something). He will meet his end at/at the hands of of Iachello.*

*Third will be pure gold. He will love the people and be loved by everyone except one, and it would have been better if had never been born.*

*Fourth will be the most beautiful and the ugliest. He will drown himself and the city in himself; when he is ugliest he be the most beautiful; he will hold back the red and blue flood, be he will not turn the tide. His son will have five fingers.*

*Fifth will be copper washed with gold. He will live in the dessert and eat peas, and his children will be afraid of him, because of his ugliness. When he is buried the copper will be eaten away, and he will be the most beautiful of them all. He will plant an olive tree where olive trees should not grow. Its fruit will be so heavy that it breaks the branch, which will fall on him and kill him, and the empire will fall on him and kill him, and the empire will be stolen and hidden in the heel of a boot. He will eat poison in the desert and grow strong. He will sleep during the day and work hard at night. The empire will fall through a hole in a good man's pocket;*

*The sixth man will pick it up and bring it home; it will be swallowed by a fish and find the empire in its stomach. He will be the best of all bad men, and by his goodness and loving kindness he will do the most harm. He will live too long and not long enough. After him, pigs will dig up the roots of Florian's tree, and sheep and goats will graze in the Perfect Square, but the walls he will build will not fall for three hundred years. After him, Florian will return, wearing a blue woolen shirt, and he will live in the forest and eat toadstools.*

*On the same day, two kings will walk barefoot in the Perfect Square. One King with his dog will strike the chains off the necks of his enemies. He will move a river and find his grave, and those who move rivers will dig it for him. One king will come from under the water. The river will flood and he will walk barefoot until he meets with the second six-fingered man, and he will be what he always claimed to be. This will be true; I have already seen it.*
