What did Nostradamus predict?

*"In the year of great changes, when tears will no longer be enough. A document will be drawn up and only at first it will not be taken seriously. Our younger brother will make you watch the great confrontation of light and darkness. Not everyone will be in time in time, but Trakai Vilnius will show a picture of emptiness. When childhood comes to an end and the stars cease to shine. The creator who will be able to free from the darkness will come to replace."*

Predictions. Absolutely everyone wants to know their future. Some go to psychics, others divine on coffee grounds. Interestingly, what are they going to see besides coffee there? And others watch horoscopes. We are interested to know when there will be war, the end of the world or cataclysms. All this is so exciting. Someone 600 years ago predicted that our asteroid would destroy the earth. Someone is scared. Someone is ready. And someone did not want to listen to all this nonsense. Today we’ll talk about the most proprietary predictor. Today we’ll talk about the most proprietary predictor. When they tell me Nostradamus, I remember the album of Judas Priest, but normal people immediately remember the person who predicted the future. I would even say Wang at maximum speed, as it is known in absolutely every corner of the planet. Whatever happens, the Internet will explode with screams that Nostradamus predicted. It became interesting to me, but how accurately did he predict this? Did you predict at all? Do not rush to conclude. We are not here to assert unfoundedly, we are here to show interesting facts that you most likely do not know, since such information still needs to be searched. But first, a little history.

*"Michel de Notrdam, an astrologer who lived in the 16th century, on whose account hundreds of fulfilled predictions dating back many centuries. Starting in 1550, he published almanacs and books with predictions. This is a collection of quatrains united in ten, the so-called centuries or centuries. It is said that in these verses he could predict every significant event. There is no reason not to believe this, because even kings used his services. Is it true? Today we will try to find out."*

The predictor, contrary to many versions, did not immediately become the predictor. He generally had a busy life. He fought with the plague, his wife and children died from an incomprehensible illness, moving, working with noble people. And the result is a painful death from an illness. Researcher Peter Lemesurier in his books got to the bottom of the truth and in fact refuted the entire fake biography of Nostradamus, and she is credited with a lot, a doctorate, although he was expelled and most likely remained just a pharmacist. They say that he took his gift from his ancestors, that he was buried vertically, although in fact not. He also predicted his death accurate to the day, although he could not even do this. But the biggest myth from the biography of Nostradamus is probably that he was an astrologer. Strange, huh? It is written completely everywhere. On Wikipedia, on other more authoritative sources. Even he himself wrote that he uses astrology as his instrument for predictions. So what is it about then? At that time, astrology was generally on hype and many were doing it. It was kind of scientific and very elite. And therefore, real astrologers. I understand that these two words cannot be used in one sentence, but at that time astrology was something else in the understanding of people. There were astrological studies. Kings and queens resorted to the help of astrologers and so on. So real astrologers themselves criticized Nostradamus for factual errors in his calculations. Not that he was completely stupid, but basically, in principle, he probably didn’t understand anything. “In true astrology, you understand less than nothing,” writes astrologer Lawrence Wiedel about Nostradamus. How rough. I would have called him to an astrological battle. Battle is not a fact. You can read all the errors through the links in the description, but not for the sake of his biography, we are gathered here. Criticism did not prevent noble persons from using the services of Nostradamus. Maybe because he actually predicted.

*"Reading believes that the verses of Nostradamus predicted everything."*

*"Seriously?"*

Do people have an interesting feature? When some kind of tragedy or catastrophe occurs, they will certainly find a prediction about it. And they are like we didn’t notice before. Well, is it right here, about this event? Well, what can I say in this regard, Nostradamus certainly did everything. Whatever happens, they will write on the Internet that he predicted this, just no one understood. So what is the track record of Nostradamus? Well, you don’t have to go far. Just open the sites and start the adventure. World wars, the atrocities of Hitler, Napoleon, the assassination of Kennedy, the death of the king of France, the September 11 attack, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

*"The great forecaster of the Middle Ages Nostradamus. Among his most famous predictions are the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima, the Second World War, the collapse of the Soviet Union."*

Well, like they were the top ones. Here is a good concept in 2015, such a thing as taxes will disappear. Funny joke. Let’s first deal with sites that do not care about their reputation. Somewhere they heard and immediately sculpted their little article. But I found the source. Predictions such as the latter were invented by our favorite newspaper, Weekly World News. Those who have been following the channel for a long time will understand. And other publications began to quote this, which ultimately came to Russia. But in this newspaper, along with tax predictions, you can see this prediction. Antichrist - the earthly incarnation of Satan will be captured and imprisoned before he has time to seize power. This will put off the Apocalypse. The source is in my links. For some reason you did not add this prediction. I’m probably ashamed. Well, the person who reads this cannot be so stupid as to believe it. Or maybe? But those predictions that I called earlier really ascribe to Nostradamus and not without reason. Today we are waiting for a long adventure according to the loudest predictions.

*"Can the Utopia Show team deal with this? Watch it now."*

Once upon a time there was such a king of France Henry II in the 16th century. He loved all sorts of knightly competitions and during the holiday participated in one of these. Count Montgomery, captain of the Scottish Guard, participated against him. No signs of trouble. All in armor. In safety. Nobody wants each other evil, but 10 days after the competition, King Henry dies in torment. Why? Because Montgomery’s spear broke and hit the king’s head. Krovische, screaming and painful death. Didn’t his mother tell him not to play with spears? Is that all I need? Nostradamus predicted this event in his verse and raced. Now he is quoted, starting precisely with this story. The translation is something like this. The young lion will defeat the old on the battlefield in a solitary duel, pierce his eyes through a golden cage. Yes, a fleet or two wounds in one, and with this will die a painful death. I didn’t translate it, if that. If I were, it would be even worse. And it seems that in this context it is very similar to the truth. But you understand what bad luck is. Did Nostradamus accurately predict this? The point is that, as it turned out, the first mention of the fact that it was this verse that prophesied the death of Henry appeared in the book of the son of Nostradamus in 1614. That is, after more than 50 years from the moment of death in a duel, there is no mention that at least someone spoke about this before. Oh believe me, to find in a book of 1,176 pages exactly the very moment that speaks of the spear, that still pain. Well, at least I thought of googling how a French spear would be. And I’m very lucky that this word has not changed since the Middle French language. So, when the predictions are interpreted after the event, this is called postdiction. Everything is just prediction - this is prediction, and postdiction is the interpretation after. But the ending of this story is simple. All these people who cite this verse as a cool argument simply ignore one completely accurate fact. A year before the death of Heinrich, Nostradamus writes a message to him, where is he doing? That's right, he licks him from head to toe and wishes the best king in the world victory and happiness. To die in a year, you know such a victory for yourself. But for fans of Nostradamus, this letter is like a pimple on the nose. Nobody wants to be seen, so they constantly hide him under a ton of plaster. Take it off me somebody. But whatever you say, this is a fact, not some kind of prediction there that someone interpreted there. Yes Nostradamus did not think about the death of Henry II. These people invented it for themselves. Reading a book by the famous skeptic James Randy about Nostradamus, I saw an interesting thought and supplemented it a bit. Look, take the real verse of Nostradamus and attribute to it another real event. You will be surprised. English Henry VIII, whose lion is depicted on the coat of arms, imprisons Thomas More, the very one who wrote the book Utopia. And it was not just a prison, but the Tower of London, which also served as a treasury and even a mint. It was a long confrontation between the two. I would even say a conflict of interest in which Henry came out the winner. Pestilence suffered in prison, and then his head was cut off. And Henry was younger. Sounds logical too. The only difference is that this event happened 20 years before the very prediction of Nostradamus. See how easy it is to adjust something to something? A small digression. It is funny that at the same time another astrologer, Luca Gauriko, wrote his prediction, and he, too, imagine, predicted the death of Henry II. But not some kind of abstract one, but just a prediction, they say, something will fall into the eye in a duel. Be careful, do not fight. Thinking This is an almost direct quote. They say that in 1552 and 1555 he described it all. But no one listened to him, and in the end, where was the spear? Right, right in the face. Is there any written confirmation of this? Very funny, of course not. Do people still believe this? Of course yes. But what if you criticize it a little? There was such a guy Pierre Bale. He was a skeptic and checked everything himself. He wrote a historical-critical dictionary, in which various loud statements and theories are questioned, and he was first published in 1697. There you can find that, in fact, Luke in 1552 released a horoscope in which he promises Henry II not death in a duel, but long years of life. Well, that will live up to 69 years. The bibliographer David Clemont also writes about this in 1760. And in 1941, Lynn Thorndike points this out in a book on the history of magic and experimental science. Indeed, we can look at these horoscopes ourselves. Indeed, it all fits together. So the prediction of this other seer simply did not come true.

*"Dear Henry, I want to wish you all the best, because I know that luck is on your side."*

*"King Henry passed away."*

*"Dear Ulyrik."*

It seems that everyone around was trying to hypanut on the death of Henry II and they got a pancake. And for some reason it seems to me that these stories are quite similar. In general, the first come true prediction of Nostradamus appeared. It was entertaining, but this is only the beginning, then only more interesting. I really liked how one of the poems of Nostradamus was attributed to Napoleon. Until we laugh. Everything is very serious. Predictions. The generally accepted translation is as follows.

*"Poe, Nay, Oloron will have more fire than blood. Swim in praise, escape to the confluence of rivers. He will refuse entry to the magpies. Pompom and Durance will hold them back."*

Has anyone understood anything? Me not. Most of those who also translated did not understand anything at first, but this did not stop them from writing books with their own translations. And so, what happened. Napoleon is the king. If you think this is a joke. No.

*"He predicted."*

Even though Napoleon was not a king. In principle, if you think carefully, then the letters make “he lied.” Cool, yeah? After all, even real fans criticize such an embarrassed translation. Reality is boring. We look at other translations, which take into account that this is an old translation and understand what it really is. Pau, Ney, Oloron is three towns nearby in the south of France. There is also the Durance River and the Pompon River. In general, we are talking about something in the south of France. What does Napoleon have to do with it? If you suddenly also cannot understand how people could believe such a thing, then welcome to the following prediction. By the way, did you know that after the September 11 attack, the prophecies of Nostradamus entered the top sales on Amazon. You are probably very interested in how it happened. After the tragedy of a global scale, the following letters began to come to emails to American users, where Nostradamus is quoted.

*"Thunder will strike in the city of God. And the two brothers will be torn apart by chaos. While the fortress can’t stand it. The third big war will begin. When the big city lights up. Two steel birds will fall on the capital. The sky will light up at 45 degrees latitude. Flames reach a great new city. On the 11th day of the 9th month, two metal birds crash into two tall statues in the new city and the world will soon end. Nostradamus 1654."*

Yes, business. I mean, Nostradamus died in 1566. It is unlikely that he is. Well, such a verse, in principle, does not exist at all. Okay Craftsmen were able to find an article written by student Mil Marshall on the website of the Canadian Brock Institute. It is called Nostradamus. Critical analysis. Although it is small, very correct things are written there. He wanted to show the failure of the predictions, since they are very abstract. And only interpreters decide what and where Nostradamus predicted. And yes, he invented that verse about the brothers and himself analyzes it. What does the city of god mean? Yes, any significant city in fact. What does thunder mean? Maybe a storm, maybe a war, maybe an earthquake. Yes, it means anything. What does two brothers mean? The twin brothers? Yes, they are full throughout the planet. Now let the poem be a little dark and they will definitely come up with the meaning. The main thing is not to go too far with the dates, but it is better not to specify them at all. Done, now you are a prophet. It seems like this article was written back in 1996, but in order not to be unfounded, in the archives I found a screenshot of this article for 1998. That is, in any case, before the tragedy happened. But it happened exactly as he said. Yes, he is more Nostradamus than Nostradamus Nostradamus. It came up with its own meaning, began to spread. In general, a classic happened. But the second verse is not so simple. Nostradamus really wrote it, well, except for the moment about steel birds. In general, the Internet trolls took the quatrains, redrawed it, removed the unnecessary, added their own, a little pepper and it turned out to be an Internet sensation, which led to an increase in the ratings of Nostradamus. Well, the third quatrain is completely fictitious.

*"Centuria seven, verse fifteen. Around the fire, people will gather to capture the minds of others, but their meeting will last forever while their heart beats."*

You see how it does not make it difficult to completely interpret everything as it suits you. You can try it too. At the beginning of this video, we showed you three quatrains that we ourselves invented. They are very abstract, but believe in them it really makes sense. Anyone who is the first in the comments to give an interpretation of all three verses with the meaning as close as possible to us will receive a good gift from me. The time has come for our beloved doomsday and where is it without the already native Nostradamus. Fast forward to 2009. People have heard that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. Planets line up in a certain way, and planets line up, and Nostradamus predicted, as well as everywhere agitation, films are starting to be shot. Oh my heart. Hold me.

*"Look at this asteroid. He looks like death. A block of 700 meters long rushes to us and will be near in November 2018."*

But what a sin to conceal. In 2009, I once was also afraid when everyone around talked about it. Interpreters in one of the verses, which also supposedly predicts the end of the world, got caught on the word mabus. And they put forward the theory, in all seriousness, it was written in books that it means Saddam Hussein. If you put the word MABUS in front of the mirror, it looks a bit like Saddam. Not really. Where to throw off money for treatment? Meanwhile, 2012 has passed. The planet is intact and everyone has interpreted such. And this is not the only verse that pointed to the end of our days. Only now he himself in the preface wrote that his predictions in books will last until 3797. Something doesn't fit. So in 2012 it was all over, and then the prediction of such a plan. Today, nothing happened, because everything that could happen has already happened. I think I saw a comet. In general, Nostradamus never predicted the end of the world, even abstractly. So I look at these eternal messages about Armageddon, how people believe in it and the question arises as to why no one has created a VKontakte group “There will be no end of the world tomorrow” and write this every day so that people know that everything is in order and you can not build a bunker. Put a class if the idea is class. It is very important to understand that all the verses that will be discussed today are not related to a specific event. These are people who were engaged in translation and interpretation and related verses to a specific event. This is a huge difference. Interpreters are generally the main harm in this story. It was the interpreters who took upon themselves the right to adapt this or that verse to their own time or to their preferences and the whole meaning that Nostradamus invested in them, if of course he invested, simply disappeared. These are not my guesses, but the facts. Look at the 42nd verse of the seventh century, which was printed in 1567. Now look at this print of 1590. Well ok, what's next? Now look at the same verse printed in 1649. Something doesn't fit. Of course it does not fit, because this verse was simply invented. And here such books with this verse came out in 1649, as many as a few. And do not be confused by the fact that the book was allegedly released in 1568. This is just a well-made fake of those times. The verse discredits Giulio Mazarin, the politician of those times and the authors tried in this way to make him ill. Just think about it. In general, they didn’t care that in the future people would take it seriously. So we look at the first English translation of Nostradamus, released in 1672 and see the same verse there. As they say on misinformed carry water. A small fact. Of the nearly 1,000 predictions, only a few had any dates. Basically, these were abstract verses. And the predictions did not work, like the almanac from the movie “Back to the Future,” which predicted the future up to a second. Predictions probably just didn't work.

*"Century One, verse 12. When misfortune looms over the city, which will penetrate into every home, people will know the hardships of expectation and they will wash themselves with water from cold rivers."*

*"Hot water was turned off."*

But not for us to judge. In any case, one way or another, Nostradamus presented us with interesting stories. And the next one of them.

*"Wild animals with hunger cross the river. Most of the battlefield will be against Hitler. He will drag the leader in the iron cage when a German child does not comply with the law."*

Well, there is the word Hitler. It is difficult to somehow interpret it differently. But what if I say that this verse was really written by Nostradamus? Will you feel uneasy? Such a translation was proposed by Eric Chitam. Her books with translations of Nostradamus are very famous. They even shot the film “The Man Who Saw the Future”. Cool, only Erica Chitam was doing the wrong translation. She somehow translated the word “hister” like Hitler. And indeed, this whole translation is very wrong. But that's all, people are crazy.

*"In fact, even Nostradamus himself in his almanac in 1554 wrote that “hister” is another name for the Danube River. And now this is confirmed by linguistics. Literally one crooked translation is all. On the front page. Nostradamus predicted."*

Anyway, this Erica Chitam is so slippery. She made three reprints of the same book with translations. What for? Because it constantly supplemented the translation, which fits modern realities. Clever, clever enough. But that's not all. Hitler had another interesting story. Once astronomer Hans Kritzenber wrote a book in which he quoted a verse of Nostradamus, which allegedly predicts the victory of Germany. In the 39th year, the Nazis drew attention to this and thought, but this is not bad, because you can intimidate everyone with this. Kritzenger was summoned for an interview, where they asked if there was anything else that would predict our victory. He replied that he did not know, but he knew a man who would help. It was astrologer Karl Ernst Kraft. He began to freely translate Nostradamus. With this, they began to make leaflets and scatter them over France and distribute there through agents. The information appeared in the books of Elik Howe, who studied history and occultism in Goebbels' diaries himself, and also in the memoirs of Walter Schellenberg, the head of German foreign intelligence during the war.

*"We chose those quotes in which Nostradamus predicted the appearance of machines that spew smoke and fire, which will fly with a roar over the cities, causing horror and destruction to people. From ourselves we added the prophecy that only the south and southeast of France will be saved from these disasters."*

Further even more comical. The British saw that it worked and hired their astrologer to now come up with prophecies on behalf of Nostradamus and use against the Germans. Everything looks like a cheap comedy. I understand. I can’t believe it myself. The book had such a complex name and was written by astrologer Louis de Volley. But so that everything was clear, the author was indicated another. They wrote a book in German and distributed in Germany. But everything was tough there. Dozens of invented predictions that spoke of the defeat of Germany. These were the most famous predictions of Nostradamus that people believe in. The predictions that have come true are much larger, I just wanted to show you with well-known examples that everything is not so obvious. And you know what the conclusion suggests itself? No one was able to predict the event according to the poems of Nostradamus. Exceptions are those events that have already happened. It's just that with each new year people adjust old predictions for themselves. And the main question arises: does it make sense in predictions if it is so blurry that it cannot be interpreted before the event? It seems to me not. Peter Lemesurier tells us in his books that Nostradamus knew what he was doing. He believed that history repeats itself and emphasized it, rather than really trying to write a prediction. I know this is a very loud statement, but it’s not just said that. Nostradamus certainly knew about the cyclical nature of events, because he wrote this in verse 379, so there is every reason to believe that Lemesurier is right. He tells in his book that out of 942 verses, 653 of them very likely referred to events of the past. It also gives examples. Take for example a verse about supposedly Hitler, but actually about the Danube River. In the 14th century there was a clash of two enemies, King of Germany Sigismund and Sultan Bayazid I. Each of them crossed the Danube in battles. The sultan came out victorious in this battle. Legend has it that in another battle he was captured, put in a cell and kept there until he died. This description of the verse seems to me more suitable. And almost every verse managed to find the event that preceded it. Wow how everything is spinning however. Not only were the predictions so abstract that it was impossible to unravel them, but he was also likely to have spied these predictions from history.

*"Many people are disappointed in science today, because it is not able to answer the main questions of our time, therefore they turn to the past, seek advice from great ancient seers such as Nostradamus."*

*"What? Are you kidding me?"*

The Kennedy prediction ignores inappropriate lines, not the words about the end of the world. And the verse allegedly about Hiroshima and Nagasaki in general is most likely inspired by the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Fans of Nostradamus, when they hear that these are all translation errors or events that have already occurred, begin to shout that in fact there is a hidden subtext in his poems and in general it is all an encoding. What if you just love to complicate things? AND? Just about what encoding of speech, if you already consider the usual translation of his poems to be a prediction? I'm afraid to imagine what is hidden between the lines. Probably a prediction in a prediction, but there is most likely no coding in books. Just Nostradamus in his letters explained that he specifically makes such abstract predictions so that no one understands anything and if he wants, he will assign a date to each event. Reminds school excuse.

*"Remember that this astrological exam will help you predict the future in the future."*

*"You can at least not write off dates?"*

*"What are you yelling? I have no dates at all."*

*"Michelle, get out of class."*

So you watched this video and say yes, the seers did not predict. How unpredictable. But to be honest, I can’t say for sure. Yes, and no one can. We only have some inconsistencies and a bunch of questions. Or maybe you say you haven’t proved anything? And I was not going to prove anything. All we can do is operate on facts. So far, there are no facts that he really predicted. So there’s nothing to talk about. Well, if you really want to, you can go in and see the predictions of Nostradamus for 2019. Predictions for Russia are also possible. Nobody cares that he did not say a word about Russia and did not predict anything for the 2000s. Well, what if, well, maybe, please. But we know that in an appeal to Henry, Nostradamus himself refused the title of prophet, and he wrote these words like this: "I'm not so stupid as to say that I am a prophet." Maybe after all, he perfectly understood that he was simply a lover of astrology. If he did not rank himself among the prophets, then why should we do this?

*"He was just humble."*

What was the point if the predictions still did not come true. Tell me. But no, he was not modest, he wrote that God himself gave him the gift of a seer, which actually refutes my past words. He certainly did not have a split personality? Although, maybe it was. I’m not sure of anything after reading his 1552 book. Do you know the expression of both the Swiss and the reaper and the dude on the pipe? So this is about Nostradamus. In 1552, he wrote a treatise on cosmetics and jams. And few people know that this is his first book published in 1552. In one book, he was able to fit a laxative recipe, toothpaste from the shell of snails, chopped of course, a love potion from the blood of sparrows, pills from the plague, which of course did not work, bloodletting, and of course the recipe for jam. Something tells me that he was tasteless. This dude knew how to become famous. People of that time were very gullible. The complexity of this issue was not the search for information. This release was not about finding information. Always, when I read about him, I came across problems.

*"Without proofs, without proofs, without proofs, without proofs."*

The difficulty was precisely in verifying the information. I didn’t want to be unfounded, so I bought books and looked for the right moments to accurately record that this was true. The translation from Middle French took most of the time, so I hope you forgive the wait. All scans of the right moments I will leave in the description. It is unlikely that you will buy them. Subscribe to our almanac, put fingers that point to the stars and write treatises in the comments. You know what, the only moment where in one sentence you can see the real prediction and the word Nostradamus is the book of James Randy. He said a very obvious and indisputable thing in 1993. There will be more and more translations that will open up new details. From nowhere new predictions will come, and objectionable facts will be ignored, as will common sense, which only enthusiasts will propagate. Everything came true. Here I am. I talk about it, popularize these books. Will this change the situation? I would like to believe, but hard to believe.

*"Centuria 15, verse 23. Are you listening? On the day of the great crisis, when there is no trust in people, the day of reckoning will come. They will come from above to take everything. You count, he even predicted a blackout."*
