And yet, he apparently believed it was already secured!
The story of Paco Rabanne is also the story of a doomsday believer and numerologist who claimed to have memory of his past incarnations. He repeatedly spoke on the record about having traveled from the planet Altair 78,000 years ago, and of his past life as an Egyptian priest who assassinated Tutankhamun. As a consequence of these peculiar convictions, Rabanne came to be known less charitably by the moniker ‘Wacko Paco.’ His predictions of Armageddon, drawn from close readings of Nostradamus, are laid out with unflappable confidence in his two books Has The Countdown Begun? (1994) and 1999: Fire From Heaven (1999).
