can people really see the future receive
messages from across time and space for
centuries seers and prophets have come
forward offering dramatic visions of
mankind's destiny but what happens from
the predictions turn deadly
well that's what we'll try and find out
Paris France
1555 astrologer and physician michel de
nostradame publishes the volume of four
line poems called quatrains readers of
the time are confused by the author's
use of multiple languages word puzzles
and what was even then considered
antiquated syntax but perhaps even more
baffling is the volumes title they
prophet ease the prophecies Nostradamus
had become initially famous as a Almanac
writer gonorrhea understand that this is
during the time of the printing
revolution and he was one of its first
best-selling authors then he embarked on
a history of the future which would look
at everything up to the Year 3797 ad
nearly 1800 years from now and beyond
the prophecies was initially met with
outride skepticism and derision many
believed Nostradamus to be either a
fraud or mentally ill possibly both
likely due to the fact that one of his
verses scandalously foretold of a
particularly gory death for henry ii the
king of france
Nostradamus made a prediction about
henry ii dying and a jousting accident
watering thirty-five red that a young
lion would face the old in traditional
combat he shall be pierced through a
gilded cage
two wounds made won the joust happened
exactly as he foretold it both men had
lions on their shields large shards went
through the gilded visor of the king one
penetrated his forehead into his brain
the other in between his eye and socket
destroying his eye and he died of
infection of the brain ten days later in
agonizing death after the King's death
Nostradamus s reputation as the seer of
the future grew rapidly which was at the
time not necessarily a good thing it is
well known that Nostradamus concealed
the nature of his prophecies which at
that time was very politically incorrect
and could have gotten him in a lot of
trouble he would have come into great
conflict with the church if he put
himself on a pedestal and be like Noah
or Moses or people like this
despite the controversy the prophecies
eventually became one of the most widely
read books in the world it both
astounded and terrified readers with its
predictions about dreadful events to
come is it possible Nostradamus received
his prophetic visions because he was in
touch with a higher power it's an
interesting theory and could help
explain how Nostradamus was able to see
and know things that would not happen
for centuries things he was trying to
warn us about
