Nostradamas

[Anonymous]

Are you guys familiar with Nostradamus? This is a quake from one of his predictions:

"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city..."

"In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress fall.
The great leader will succumb.
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning."

- NOSTRADAMUS

2001 is the first year of the new century and this is the 9th month. New York is located at the 41st degree Latitude. He also said that this will be the third World War and it would be bigger than the last two wars. I hope he is wrong, but judging from his predictions of Hitler, Napoleon, and Pearl Harbor....

Nostradomus is very good at predicting these things after they have happened.

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Nostradomus is Greek (Italian?) for "Infinite monkeys with infinite time."

He predicted my next breath, I think. (Big sigh.) See? Man he's good.

Please read Paulos before you post again.

First, have these exact words been used to predict any other event? My guess is "probably."
Second, 41<>45. Not close enough, for such a great predicter of events.

Update Sept 13, 2001

It is hard to understand why some people are using such a tragic event to spread more fear using the name of Nostradamus but unfortunately that is the case.

By the way, Nostradamus died in 1566 so anything with "Nostradamus 1654" should give you a clue.

So, for your information, the following variations are also hoaxes attributed to Nostradamus:

The one starting with "New century and 9 months",

The one starting with "9 months and eleven days" or "On eleventh day of 9th month",

The one which mentions "two steel birds",

The one which mixes 2 completely unrelated quatrains of Nostradamus "From the sky will come a great King of Terror...The sky will burn at forty-five degrees" in order to fit the event. Also, don't forget that NY is not at 45 degrees but a little south of 41 degrees.

More will be added as encountered...

As for "City of God", see below:

The following quatrain has been circulating the Internet after the WTC bombings.

In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
two brothers torn apart by chaos,
while the fortress endures, the great leader will sucumb.
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.

It is NOT by Nostradamus. This is a HOAX. (The link to a possible source of this hoax has been removed as that page is no longer accessible.)
