Name a significant event from the past 500 years, and we’ll show you the evidence that Nostradamus predicted it. The death of Queen Elizabeth II? Presidential assassinations? World-changing terrorist attacks?
Nostradamus foresaw all of them and more. His predictions went all the way up to the year 4500, so what did he think might lie in store for us in the year ahead? Nothing good, that’s for sure…
A prophet known around the world
Why should we pay any attention to what Nostradamus has said? Well, depending on who you believe, his track record speaks for itself. Back in the day, he was an apothecary — a sort of medieval pharmacist — who in the year 1550 started to make it big in the prophecy business.
Every year he released a new book full of verses — or quatrains — about what the future held. Plenty of people thought he was crazy… yet his name lives on to this day. His 1555 volume Les Prophéties is his most important work.
