Results for "oracle bone inscriptions"

Quick answer

Do the oracle bone inscriptions tell us whether the predictions came true or not?

No. The oracle bone inscriptions tell us what the people of that time asked, what they predicted, and sometimes what outcome they recorded. They do not tell us whether the predictions were correct in the sense of forecasting. This is a limitation of the material, not a judgment on the value of the practice.
