A Man who saw tomorrow !

A 1998 documentary on Nostradamus’ prophecies, containing various quality newsreel footages of his ‘hits and misses’. The video also contains a second documentary, with an excellant commentary on prophets and visionaries over the past few centuries and their “insights, predictions, warnings and hopes for the future”.

The prophecies of the sixteenth century author Nostradamus have become a ubiquitous part of the popular culture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As well as being the subject of hundreds of books (both fiction and non-fiction), Nostradamus’ life has been depicted in several films, and his life and prophecies continue to be a subject of media interest.

Some of the prophecies;

World War I, World War II, Assasination Of JFK and lately 911.

Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting numerous events in world history, including the French Revolution, the atom bomb, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Indeed, they regularly make similar claims regarding each new world crisis as it comes along as there is a tendency to claim that ‘Nostradamus predicted whatever has just happened’. These claims rely heavily on the role of interpretation; for example, for the supposed prediction of the rise of Hitler the reference is to Hister, the classical name for the Lower Danube.
