THE GREAT NOSTRADAMUS PROPHESIED IN 1664

in the year of the new century & 9 months from the sky will come a king of terror.
the sky will burn at 45 degrees, fire approaches the great new city.
in the city of york ther will be a great collapse, 2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos.
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb, & a 3rd big war will begin while the city is burning

Didn`t he also predict the world would end in year 2000? if he believe that were true, why did he predict anything would happen after that?

Nostradamus was a bit wierd like that, but still quite a delightful chap I hear.

I was a bit freaked out last night aswell, trying to do my physics homework. It was hard to concentrate on homework as it was, but it wasnt helped at all by the first question on my paper:

"A plane of mass 1000 tonnes banks at 20 degrees........"

GRrrrrr.

The Nostradamus thing is a spoof that has origins at:
http://www.ed.brocku.ca/~nmarshal/nostradamus.htm

(where somebody basically says - if I make any old tosh up eventually someone will believe it - ironic really :-))

Looks like someone took what was written there and added it to a few other bits of guff before relying on the internet for the rest.

Or copying from a posting over at dvdforums:


"I checked on alt.prophecies.nostradamus and there is no such Quatrain according to the folks over there!"

"Correct there is no such Quatrain. According to our friends
on the fortean list this appears to be a mixture from lots of
different Quatrains. :

Century 1, Quatrain 87

Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth
Will cause the towers around the New City to shake:
Two great rocks will war for a long time,
And then Arethusa shall color a new river red.

* * *

Century 6, Quatrain 97

The sky will burn at forty-five degrees latitude,
Fire approaches the great new city [New York City lies between 40-45 degrees] Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up
When they want to have verification from the Normans [French].

* * *

Century 10, Quatrain 72

In the year 1999 and seven months
The Great King of Terror will come from the sky,
He will bring back to life the great king of the Mongols.
Before and after Mars [the God of war] reigns happily."

So it`s just a pick and mix from the above.

Oh! The other thing worth mentioning was that he died in 1566 :-)
