The famous french scholar Georges Dumzil wrote a little book: "Le moyne noir en gris dedans Varennes".
He intended it only as a "divertissement" but the reading is very impressive

I have a large book about the prophecies of Nostradamus, explaining them but giving the original text as well. I'm not trying to demerit the man, but many verses can be translated in any manner you'd want them to mean. That is, interpretation of the verses is the key most of the times, and not the verses themselves.

I agree with Teophos. Yet some prophecies are marked with clear dates. for instance Putin's ascenssion seem very clear in 1999: search for that date in the centuries and translate "mars" as march, not planet Mars - keep Angolmois as Mongols (as it's usually translated).

his predictions on Napoleon and 9/11 were creepy. Remember, he wrote in weird poem-style with anagrams because it was dangerous to be seen as anyone who was trying to predict the future at his time. the catholic church was doing their usual "witch-hunting" at the time. His style of writing gave him the ability to pass his predictions off as stupid poems.

The problem with the "predictions" is that that "predictions" are made after the event has occured.

Nostradamus is right if you read it right. It tells of the earthquakes of Calif( the new city) and of the war between Abraham sons.

California is neither a "city" nor "new".

I agree with that. It never says that on this month a major terrorist
attack will take place on this place. I'm not impessed when people say
Nostradamus predicted 9/11 after 9/11, but I would have been
impressed if they gave a (concrete) warning for 9/11 beforehand.

Yeap. Iran (or maybe Afghanistan) is going to invade Europe (Italy specially) with US permission but the Pagans of Scandinavia will defeat them eventually (or something like that).

You said it all. Nostradamus and all futurologists tell more about
humans and their anxieties about the future than what is really going
to happen. It is simply impossible to know the future because it hasn't
yet happened.

I have nothing against Iranians, you know... but a Khomeinist invasion would be scary... Anyhow N. can be wrong and I can be wrong in my interpretation as well...

Wait, on the website with his predictions, why are they broken up into centuries I-X?

"The centuries" are a sequance of quatrains (poems of 4 verses) are organized in 10 centuries, mostly of 100 quatrains each but some with less. Then there are other related or unrelated prophecies.
