Nostradamus ....

I have been thinking of posting about this for a long time and just now found the right stuffs.

I have watched (couple of years back) videos, documentaries and also the movies 'The Man who saw 2moro', made me very interested and I kept checking the websites on some additional news and articles.

I am not sure, whether u will believe or even r inteested in 'Nostradamus' stuff, but I do... although I have not gone thru much books or reading materials, I personally feel that people have not been able to uncover the writings, and they have been trying to match the events with the writings. So....

Some more reasons that Nostradamus' writings are difficult to understand and interpret include:

• use of language that was, even when written, archaic.
• use of anagrams and unknown names.
• use of astrological or mythological references.
• inconsistent spelling.
• nonstandard word order.

A quatrain is simply a poem with 4 lines.

The rhymed quatrains of Nostradamus were written mainly in French with a bit of Italian, Greek, and Latin thrown in. He intentionally obscured the quatrains through the use of symbolism and metaphor, as well as by making changes to proper names by swapping, adding or removing letters. The obscuration is claimed to have been done to avoid his being tried as a magician. Of course a skeptic might say it was done so the quatrains could be interpreted to fit numerous situations.

An example of one of his more famous quatrains is from Century #2 Quatrain #24. The French and English versions are as follows:

Bestes farouches de faim fleuues tranner;
Plus part du champ encontre Hister sera,
En cage de fer le grand fera treisner,
Quand rien enfant de Germain obseruera.

Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers:
The greater part of the region will be against the Hister,
The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage,
When the German child will observe nothing.

So does Hister actually refer to Hitler? An instance of Nostradamus changing letters around? Is this a reference to Germany during WWII?
