A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria on Monday, collapsing many buildings and killing 912 people.
The quake, felt as far away as Cairo, was centered north of the city of Gaziantep, about 90 kilometers (60 miles) from the Syrian border.
According to Google Maps, Gaziantep is approximately 11 hours away from the Aegean Sea region and 12 hours from Marmara, where a massive earthquake was predicted in December 2022 by an earthquake expert.
Another Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets, who works for the Netherlands-based organization Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGS), apparently predicted the February 3, 2023 earthquake just three days in advance.
Using his Twitter account, Dutch expert Frank Hoogerbeets wrote, “Sooner or later there will be a ~7.5 M earthquake in this region (South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon).
After Frank Hoogerbeets' prediction went viral, he responded, saying: “As I said earlier, sooner or later this will happen in this region, similar to the years 115 and 526. These earthquakes are always preceded by critical planetary geometry, as we had on February 4-5".

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the major earthquake in Central Turkey.

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.
