What do YOU think? Have you ever even gave it thought? The reason I ask, is that there has been numerous documentaries about him and bookd writeen about his prophecies. From what I understand, his prophecies were written in a combination of many different languages, including old French and Latin. The interpretations of his writings have been vast and many say he has been spot on with a number of his predictions, including Hitler's rise and and the atom bomb.

dudes a trip...i got the old movie on VHS and when i went thru my lil 9/11 conspiracy phase i was also readin up on his predictions for 9/11...i think his predictions were too vague for that tho.....i cant explain it, but i think he was more in touch wit the universe and could make more educated guesses about what kind of shit would happen in the future, if that makes any sense...plus hasnt he predicted tons of shit that didnt happen?...i wonder what his hit and miss ratio is.....he just threw a gang a shit out there and sum of it stuck

the guy wrote horoscopes for a living for much of his life, it was a form of entertainment back then just as it is today. Shits waaaaaaaaaaay too vague to be taken even remotely serious.

And his "predictions" aren't spot on. Its just that people can look back in history and be like, "oh you see this event here? This is what Nostradamus was talking about!"

he's crap IMO.........people always pull one of his prophecies out when something happens and try to fit it all together...........


its like christians............when they get a new job, they thank god for giving them the job..........when they dont get the new job, they say it wasnt in gods plan...........instead of patting them selves on the back and saying i was good enough to get the job or i wasnt good enough...........
