I only get 45 hits on Google [1] and as far as I can none of them have anything to do with whats being talked about in this article. Ridernyc (talk) 20:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you search under the name of the Polish Wikipedia article, "Przepowiednia z Tęgoborza", you get over 25,000 hits. I'm not at all sure that this is a hoax, but feel free to AFD this if you want. Nyttend (talk) 20:45, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) The Polish WP article (pl:Przepowiednia z Tęgoborza) quotes the whole text of the "prophecy", and if you google for lines from that text, you'll find it printed in quite a large number of print sources in Google Books [2]. None of them is fully accessible to me and all the publications seem to be in Polish, which I can't read, but the text as such is clearly not a hoax. I can't verify anything about the background story of its alleged creation though. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:51, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Here are two independent references that show it's not a hoax:
