The History Channel had a special on the recently dicovered manuscripts of what is believed to be made by Nostradamus or his son. If you are into symbology then you may find this interesting.
According to the leading scholars..er..symbology expert people, the manuscripts give the exact date of the end of time....2012!:eek: :)

Just like the Mayas! But, ummm, in another interpretation of Nostradamus, from the 1970s, The '3rd Anti-christ', who was born in 1960-something, in the Middle East, will come in 1999. This is what I remember from the passage

In the year 1999 and seven months from the sky
will come the great king of terror

Im not sure about the 1999 part-if it was in that excerpt- but the rest is exact, I think. Mind you, thats not the whole 'prophecy'.

I have read interpretations of Nostradamus' texts which state that World War 3 will begin around 2030 and World War 4 in 2064 but New York would already be nuked in 1998.
Anyway this is all a huge pile of bovine feces. You can always find truth in any prophecy as long as you really want to see.

Do they have anything on the hunchback?

:hmm:

I had read New York would be destroyed as part of WWIII in the late 1990's...

Anyway, sometimes you can find books on the bargain rack that explain what will happen in the years to come based on several "famous prophets," our friend Michel de Nostradame among them. It's a larf to read through them and see what didn't happen that was supposed to.

Good read for laughing at because it's pure 100% B*******. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Having seen past Nostradamus programs on the history channel I'm more incline to agree that his so-called prophecies are mostly politcal commendary of his time instead of future predictions. People like to say his stuff tells us the future but his prophecies have never predicted anything ahead of time, merely applying what he says to something after it happens does he appear to has predicted something when nothing more then a mere coincidence has taken place.

And as for the whole 2012 end of the world thing; I seem to recall somewhere before that he makes predictions up till after 3000 AD. So I'm incline to believe that something isn't adding up here. The way I look at it, everday has been a day someone has predicted to be the end of the world; and none have been proven right yet.

But I do enjoy his prophecies. As a role-player I like to "borrow" this and that now and then. :D And I sometimes enjoy the spookiness of the "coincidences" but nothing more then a fascincation.

As for the lost book itself, theres not alot you couldn't paint that couldn't be precieved as a prophecy. If you had a image of a sun and a bird or a bird a tiger and a sun people would of said its "USA and Japan" and that it predicted WW2. If the sun was setting with the tiger in the fore ground of it and the bird above then clearly its the Atomic bomb being used. If the Bird was being mauled by the tiger its a pearl harbor reference. If the bird was feasting on the tiger clearly its the outcome of the pacific war.

The problem with the lost book is that it uses symbols that are used commonly by people to begin with and could be fit into any place in history due to the vast changes that occur on a daily basis.

The problem is that if people can predict the future then there must be some form of predetermination. And I don't believe in that so I can't really believe in this.

But it would be interesting as fiction or non-fiction if you think it's his commentary on the politics of his day.

I really hate this whole Nostradamus thing. It's just people interpreting vague prophecies and dates to scare people. I agree with Civfan333 on this one.

Thanks for agreeing with me.
I agree with you to.:lol: :lol:

What if everyone subconsciously predicts the future and changes it according to that subconscious thought. Then that would make his predictions true only during the moment he wrote them.
