From Covid 19 pandemic to the moon landing , Nostradamus has been credited with predicting events that have not just rattled humankind, but has also taken it to heights. However, much to the disappointment of sadists, his 'world-ending' prophecies are yet to come true.
The 'wrongly interpreted sage,' according to the Guardian, predicted some calamity in the seventh month of the year 1999, according to some students.
His quatrains, published in 1555 as Les Prophéties, have been continuously in print and are thought to have foretold significant events, including the execution of Charles I, the Great Fire of London , the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon and Hitler, the assassination of JFK, the murder of Benazir Bhutto, the 9/11 attacks, the 2015 mass shootings in Paris, and even the abdication of King Charles III, as reported by The Guardian.
Many scholars believe that his writings do not predict the future but act as a guide for the future based on past events.
Whether it's the truth, or just a product of collective consciousness, here are some worldly events re-imagined through AI that scholars suggest were predicted by Nostradamus:
The Great Fire of London (1666): Nostradamus wrote about a “great fire” that would devastate a city, which many interpret as referring to the Great Fire of London, Independent reported.
"The blood of the just will be lacking in London,
Burnt up in the fire of '66:
The ancient Lady will topple from her high place,
Many of the same sect will be killed."
The Rise of Hitler: He is said to have predicted the rise of a leader from the East who would bring about great conflict, often linked to Adolf Hitler.
"From the depths of the West of Europe,
A young child will be born of poor people,
He who by his tongue will seduce a great troop;
His fame will increase towards the realm of the East."
And ...
"Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers,
The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.
Into a cage of iron will the great one be drawn,
When the child of Germany observes nothing."
The French Revolution: Nostradamus described a time of upheaval in France, which many connect to the events of the French Revolution.
"Songs, chants, and demands will come from the enslaved
Held captive by the nobility in their prisons
At a later date, brainless idiots
Will take these as divine utterances."
The Atomic Bomb: Some interpretations suggest he predicted the development of nuclear weapons, referencing a “burning fire” that would fall from the sky.
"The heavenly dart with stretch its course
Death in the speaking: a great achievement
The proud nation brought low by the stone in the tree
Rumours of a monstrous human, bring purge, then expiation."
The Assassination of John F Kennedy: A quatrain is often linked to the assassination of JFK, describing a leader’s violent end.
"The ancient task will be completed
From on high, evil will fall on the great man
A dead innocent will be accused of the deed
The guilty one will remain in the mist."
The 9/11 Attacks: Some claim Nostradamus foresaw the September 11 attacks in his writings about towers collapsing and great destruction.
"The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city.
By fire, he will destroy their city,
A cold and cruel heart, blood will pour.
Mercy to none."
The Moon Landing (1969): Nostradamus’s references to “men flying” and exploring celestial bodies are interpreted by some as predictions of the moon landing.
The Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989): Nostradamus is said to have predicted the division and subsequent reunification of nations, often linked to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Covid-19 Pandemic: Some interpretations of his writings suggest a pandemic caused by a "plague" or illness, resembling the global outbreak of Covid-19.
Near the gates and within two cities
There will be two scourges the like of which was never seen,
Famine within plague, people put out by steel,
Crying to the great immortal God for relief.
Ukraine war: “Seven months into the Great War, people died of evil-doing. / Rouen, Evreux shall not fall to the King.” Some have interpreted this to be the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
