What an enigma Michel Nostradamus remains to this day. For no matter how many times you dismiss his predictions of future world events contained within his famous
quatrains and
sestets there is however an undeniable syncronicity between them and the historical record of past events that occured after his death.
His critics are quick to point out that his predictions are in the main so abstract and seemingly vague that they could be made to fit any number of events depending on how you interpret them, however his supporters retort by pointing out the following facts ;
A. Nostradamus was forced to use a highly criptic code for his predictions as at the time he lived the Catholic Church was at the high of it's repressive powers and anyone even attempting to pass themselves of as any kind of prophet or seer would have quickly incurred their rath, ( however there is evidence that Henry 11 of France was in constant contact secretly with Nostardamus throughout much of his life ).
B. Linguistics - language changes over time. Nostradamus wrote in the old French, which can often suffer from the confusion of one word having several meanings.
Over the years since his death there has been countless books written about his life and works and each one of them generally claims to be more authortive than the rest when in truth even the better ones are little more than hindsight and guesswork.
If his supporters have got it right then we have got quite a nasty ol time ahead of us in the near future culminating in a third world war of vast proportions and grisly consequences for much of mankind, LOL, but I would'nt worry too much as what other famous historical figures have made idiots of themselves by spouting all manner of apocalyptic prophesis that failed to come true I wonder
