A massive earthquake measuring 7.8 on Richter Scale jolted southern Turkey and northern Syria on Monday (February 6), destroying several buildings and leaving over 1000 dead. The epicentre of the earthquake was located around 90 kilometres (60 miles) from the Syrian border, to the north of the city of Gaziantep.

Gaziantep is located around 11 hours away from the Aegean Sea region, and 12 hours from Marmara, where an earthquake expert had predicted an earthquake, reported media.

According to reports, a Dutch researcher named Frank Hoogerbeets made a "prediction" regarding today's catastrophic earthquake on February 3, 2023. Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “Sooner or later there will be a ~M 7.5 earthquake in this region (South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon),”

In response to the circulating prophesy, Hoogerberts has written: “As I stated earlier, sooner or later this would happen in this region, similar to the years 115 and 526. These earthquakes are always preceded by critical planetary geometry, as we had on 4-5 Feb."
