Thanks, on further though this reminds of Strauss–Howe theory [1] that there are generational cycles in history which tend to related to certain archetypes which repeat again and again.

I really do need to look more into Turchin.

EDIT: LOL, I read the Wikipedia article more closely [1] and it seems Turchin has actually talked about this theory, which he feels is more like prophecy than an actual scientific theory.
