So Hubber AEvans asked... Nostradamus Fact Or Fiction?



It is a Fact that Nostradamus was a French astrologer and physician Born December 14, 1503 in St. Remy, France.

He spent his later years writing prophecies in a type of writing called quatrains.

It is a fact that thru the years people have come to believe that Nostradamus really did predict many events that came to pass such as the regimes of Hitler and Napolian and the assinations of the kennedys & martin Luther King and even events of 911 (not to mention those yet to come).

It is a fact that he wrote these in a book called The Prophecies and it was published in 1555 again in 1557 and then again in 1558 each with more prohecies added. Nostradamus composed 942 quatrains and were organized by centuries and each century had 100 quatrains in it except one that had just 42 quatrains in it.


There were also his works called The Almancs which also were basically just predictions and prophecies.

So Nostradamus is not a fictional character, his life is well documented in history. Now whether you believe he could predict the future is all very subjective.

There are those that have read the quatrains and believe that he has nailed the coffin shut in regard to the last 4 centuries and there are those that need to believe that and haven't even read them and of course there are those who believe it's all hog wash. But it is fact that he wrote them and there are some stunning similarities between them and some events that have come to past..


 

I have an idea.... Find the quatrains (liabrary, book store, online, video store), read them, decide for yourself. . . .

Fact or Fiction?

Then come back and let me know what you believe.

Below is a video on youtube that is part 1 of I believe a 9 part series. These are there opinions.

Oh, dude, there was this whole Nostradamus special on History Channel like, last month. It was amazing. I personally don't think he predicted the specifics of events that have come to pass, but I do think he was a little too close for a lot of the speculation. Soon as I get the chance, I'm running down to Barnes and Noble's to pick up his book so I can read it for myself.

This was a nice hub, but it didn't give a lot of information on Nostradamus himself, or his prophecies. It would've been nicer if it had more details. Still, it was a good read. :)
