Liver Reading: Ancient Art Predicts Trump's Election Fate

A researcher at the University of Leicester has used ancient Babylonian liver reading techniques to predict that Donald Trump will not win the upcoming U.S. presidential election, drawing parallels between historical practices and modern decision-making.


Ancient Practices and Modern Predictions: The Liver's Role in Decision-Making

In a fascinating intersection of ancient practices and modern political predictions, a researcher at the University of Leicester, Selina Wisnom, has revived an ancient Babylonian method of liver reading to forecast the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. This practice, which dates back over 3,000 years, was historically used by Babylonian priests who believed that the liver was the seat of the soul and a vital organ for interpreting the future. Wisnom's analysis suggests that Republican candidate Donald Trump is unlikely to win, a prediction she has made using the same techniques that ancient priests employed to divine the future.

Wisnom's method involves examining sheep livers for positive and negative signs, reminiscent of the ancient Babylonians who created clay models of livers to train priests in this practice. Her approach, while rooted in historical analysis, raises questions about the validity of such predictions in contemporary contexts. The study highlights how ancient civilizations utilized anatomical knowledge to navigate uncertainties, a theme that resonates with today's political climate.

The Scientific Perspective: Balancing Heritage with Modern Medicine

While Wisnom's research sheds light on the historical significance of liver reading, it also invites critique from the medical community. Dr. Mohamed Ali Ezz El-Arab, a liver and digestive system consultant, cautions against conflating ancient practices with scientific rigor. He emphasizes that while the liver is indeed a crucial organ with numerous functions, the idea of using its surface characteristics for predictive purposes lacks scientific backing. Ezz El-Arab points out that the anatomical structure of livers does not vary significantly among individuals, undermining the premise of ancient divination techniques.

Moreover, Ezz El-Arab humorously speculates that Wisnom may have chosen 'sick sheep' for her analysis, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of political outcomes. This commentary aligns with the broader understanding of how priests across various civilizations, including ancient Egypt, wielded significant influence over kings and decisions through similar mystical practices. Such historical parallels not only enrich our understanding of cultural heritage but also prompt critical reflection on the methods we use today to predict future events.
