going to become a desert as many other places... it's because of the current zeitgeist... in hindu the age we live in is called the Kali-juga, you could say the "dark age", from spiritual and other aspects... souls are fading away, moral is getting close to zero, the majority is blinded by bullshit, the planet is ill, etc... basically everything is going upside-down according to what would be in a mentally/physically healthy/balanced world... we are heading towards the state of complete chaos with an exponentially raising speed and until we hit the very bottom there is no going up... so prepare yourselves
represented with ancient symbol:
bad news in hindu they state the Kali-juga lasts 432000 human years and only 5000 went by so far xD
