Interesting but in no way conclusive of anything.
There are far too many possible interpretations of his Quaitrains for one or more to be taken as the right or wrong one.

Exactly. They could be interpreted in so many different ways that trying to use them to predict the future is silly.

Exactly. They could be interpreted in so many different ways that trying to use them to predict the future is silly. I agree. Unless a 100% accurate interpretation is found. Then they cannot be used in that way. Only one man knows the true meaning of his words,and sadly he is long dead. Whether he was a prophet will never be proved one way or the other,unless (refer to first sentence). Does make entertaining conjecture though. |

Yeah - I'd love to know what his motivation was. Was he a rich man? Or is he another posthumously idolised individual?

Well he was from a family of grain merchants and he later attended university, also in his will he bequeathed 3,444 crowns so he was worth a few quid all through his life. His interest in predictions probably stems from horological preditions and astrology which was viewed as a legitimate science in those days. Prediction of future events based on planetary motion maybe, I suppose someone here will be more versed on Nostrodamus than I am, Ive never considered his quatrains to have any worth.

According to that, some irish bloke in some as yet undiscovered english town in 2006 will be told hes Jesus. Havent heard much about that to be honest. You'd think it would at least make the sunday sport. |

how can they take it serious when they interpret them to suit themselves??they change words and sentences to suit Thats how quatrains usually work, the bible does the same exact thing. Michael Sherman recently said "in the bible they say a man shall not lie with another man" yet in the next passage it also says "stone to death unruly children". People only cherrypick the data they want, or that will conform to their view. |
