Nostradamus
Nostradamus was a physician and astrologer that lived during the fourteenth century. His insights in to modern day occurrences have astounded millions, and it leaves them wondering about the translations of his prophecies that have not occurred yet, particularly his perspicacity about the end of the world. Nostradamus was born in Saint Remi, in southern France, and was raised as a Roman Catholic. He studied medicine in Montpellier, and started a practice about 1525. Soon after, he began to treat victims of the plague in communities of southern France. "Nostradamus used innovative methods of treatment, and his success in curing extremely ill patients earned him a reputation as a specially gifted healer" (Encarta 96). Catherine de Medicis, queen of France, asked him to plot the horoscopes of her husband, King Henry II, and their children. In 1560, King Charles IX of France appointed Nostradamus court physician. The place that he holds in today's history books, however, art not about his success as a physician. Apart from his professional works he produced a number of prophetic works. We discern between the Centuries and the Prognostications. The Prognostications are like an Almanac. They contain a series of Predictions about t
From the human flock seven will be sent away, Will be TWO FLAWS, and nobody noticed it [from] INTEL he next year. Because these predictions were fulfilled (or not) more than 440 years ago few are interested in them. World War III will not bring the end of the world, however. Nostradamus clearly states in his writings that the world will end in the year 3797. "This is one of the only remarks made by Nostradamus that is concise, and clear." (Leoni 107) In the translation, it says "seven will be sent away". The number of crew members aboard the challenger space shuttle was seven. "Separated from control and advice" refers to the fact that after liftoff, the shuttle's communication line was cut with mission control. From the first moment after liftoff, there was a fire on the shuttle, so their fate was "sealed on departure". "ThioKol [was the] manufacturer of the defective rocket engine. Vowels are omitted and two consonants transposed." This explains the last line of the quatrain. (Adachi WWW)
