Hey YouTube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top10Archive!
Statistically speaking, predictions aren't all that special - everything is bound to
happen given enough time.
So are psychics just good at making vague predictions, or do some people really see
into the future?
Perhaps no name is as popular as Nostradamus, an astrologer and reputed seer, who lived
from 1503 to 1556 A.D.
In his book, Les Propheties, he listed 942 predictions that are all said to happen in
the future - and a lot of which, some people say, have already.
So, which of his predictions were irrefutably and bizarrely accurate in detail, and which
were just vague story-telling guesses where people could fill in the blanks?
Come along!?
Today, let's look at 10 Nostradamus Predictions that came true!

10.
Death of Henry II King Henry II of France was lined up to joust
the younger Gabriel Comte de Montgomery, seigneur de Lorges, a nobleman, in the summer of 1559.
It was a friendly endeavor, which is strange as it’s literally rushing someone on a horse
with a sharp-pointed object.
The definition of entertainment varies, and just as it was coming to an end, Montgomery’s
lance splintered into two shards as it tilted up and went through the king’s visor hitting
his eye.
The other went into his temple.
It wasn’t over though, he suffered for 10 days before dying.
So why do people associate this with a Nostradamus prediction?
Let’s take a look: "The young lion will overcome the older one,
On the field of combat in a single battle; He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,
Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death."
What do you think?
Are people projecting?
Or did Nostradamus really see this in his mind long before it happened?
9.
The Great Fire of London In 1666, a fire started in Thomas Farriner’s
bakery on Pudding Lane - a great location for a bakery - and it turned into one of the
biggest in London history.
It became a 3-day fire that engulfed the city and killed at least 6 people.
The Black Death really died out during that fire, likely because millions of rats carrying
the disease-ridden fleas died.
People think the original prediction refers to this, it said:
"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.”
Do you see why some people think the Great Fire of London could have been what was linked
to this prediction?
8.
The French Revolution The French Revolution happened back around
the time everyone else was rebelling.
The US was just getting independence and the French were through with the aristocratic
rule.
They started a revolution, stormed the Bastille, and used a fortress as a prison in Paris!
It was wild.
Peasants took control and kidnapped the royals demanding that their wishes be granted.
Those wishes being simple human treatment.
They actually went as far as to behead some people.
So, how did Nostradamus see this coming?
Or did he at all?
Here’s his prediction: "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."
7.
Napoleon’s Conquest This next one is eerily specific.
Naming three towns almost to the letter, Nostradamus predicted Napoleon’s conquest, the man who
came from a non-royal family.
Napoleon, who took power during a coup and imprisoned two popes!
Nostradamus said: "Pau, Nay, Loron, more fire than blood,
Swimming in praise, the great man hurries to the confluence.
He will refuse entry to the magpies, Pampon and Durrance will confine them.
" Pau, Nay, and Loron reference three towns
in Paris, though the last one is wrong.
It’s actually Oloron.
Rearranging the cities, you can spell Napaulon Roy, which some people say is purposely close
to Napoleon King in French.
The “more of fire than of the blood” could refer to Napoleon’s background and “refuse
entry to the magpies” is said to be about the popes.
6.
The Spanish Rule of King Philip II Nostradamus’ prediction went like this:
"For seven years Philip's fortunes will prosper, He will reduce the Arab army,
Then, halfway through, things will perplexedly turn against him,
A young onion will destroy his fortune.”
First of all, let’s talk about that seven.
Biblically, it's apparently just a metaphor for “a long time”, which is how long King
Philip II ruled in prosperity.
The Catholic King Philip II started his rule in 1556 and became incredibly wealthy in the
first part of his rule.
However, in 1587, the execution of Mary Queen of Scots ended their alliance with England.
A year later, he tried to invade England, but failed before really doing anything.
There’s a bit that hints at the Battle of Lepanto where Spain took down the ships of
the Ottoman Empire, a Southern area inhabited by many Arabs.
Philip even kicked them out of Spain later.
5.
Louis Pasteur’s Discoveries Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist,
was responsible for discovering that the growth of microorganisms causes fermentation.
With this, he was able to prove that bacteria don't just appear, but rather it grows from
other organisms in a process called biogenesis.
He wasn't the first to propose germ theory, but he was able to convince a lot of Europe
about the validity of it.
He's also responsible for inventing a process to remove bacteria which was named after him,
you might have heard of it, it's called pasteurization, like what we do to milk.
He also worked on creating vaccines for Rabies and Anthrax, both of which were accomplished
thanks to his work.
In 1995, however, a science historian published a book with not-so-great news about Pasteur.
In the book, he said that Pasteur had incorporated someone else's findings in order to make the
anthrax vaccine happen.
With this revelation, the scientists and his reputation took a hit.
So, what was Nostradamus’s prediction?
"The lost thing is discovered, hidden for many centuries.
Pasteur will be celebrated almost as a God-like figure.
This is when the moon completes her great cycle,
But by other rumors he shall be dishonored."
Now I don't know if Pasteur is a common last name in the time of Nostradamus or if this
is a strange translation, but this one seems a bit precise - what do you guys think?
4.
Hitler There's not a lot to say about Hitler's Terror
on Europe and in the whole world that you don't know already, but briefly, Hitler was
born to poor parents in 1889 and he used his persuasive skills to mobilize people as the
leader in the Nazi party in Germany.
As part of the Axis powers they also allied with Japan in the far east.
The original prediction doesn't say Hitler but rather Hister, which some people believed
to be a typo, while others believe that referred to the old name for the Danube River.
Both are applicable because Hitler was born just miles from that River.
Here's what Nostradamus predicted: "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."
3.
Charles de Gaulle You might not know who this is so let's take
a look at the prediction that Nostradamus wrote first:
"Hercules become king of Rome and of Annemarc, A man named De Gaulle is a three-time leader,
Italy and the waters of Venice will tremble, He will be renowned above all monarchs."
Charles de Gaulle was first the leader of the free French forces, based in London during
World War II.
After, he was the Prime Minister of the provisional post World War II government, and continued
to lead much of the country.
Then, in 1959, he undertook the first presidency of the French Fifth Republic.
This basically means he moved from post to post of leadership in French government despite
the massive changes that went on in World War II and in the French way of governing
their people.
This may not seem like a huge thing to predict, and frankly perhaps it's not but, many people
believe that Nostradamus had this one very well thought-out.
First of all, the name is a dead giveaway, he names several countries that did, in fact,
fear France at the time.
2.
The Atomic Bomb This one you're probably very familiar with
so let's get straight into the prediction and see how it matches.
"The heavenly dart will 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."
Not quite as specific and explicit as the other predictions, there are no people being
named, no places being mentioned, so way more abstract than the others.
So what actually happened during the atomic bomb?
The United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in August of 1945 in the cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
For many War historians, this is what marks the end of World War II.
As you all know, in the aftermath of the atomic bomb, the people who escaped still suffered
radiation poisoning, most of them still dying due to their injuries.
The stone in the tree that Nostradamus wrote about could mean the shape of the mushroom
cloud that engulfed the sky above the city, like we see in famous pictures of the event
now.
1.
The Assassination of JFK Another super-famous one, or rather infamous,
this one you will 100% have heard about, so let's take a look at what Nostradamus thought
would happen and why historians think this is referring to JFK's assassination.
"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 hidden in the mist."
So, how does it fare to the actual events?
Kennedy's assassination in 1963 definitely came from “on high”, seeing as the bullet
entered from his head from roof level.
The man accused of the crime, Lee Harvey Oswald, actually died before the time of his trial.
In fact, a Dallas nightclub owner killed him while he was in police custody.
Before he died, Oswald persistently said that he was innocent.
To this day, we're not entirely sure who killed JFK, however many Americans still believe
it was a conspiracy.
