Have you ever wondered, what is going to happen in the future? If yes, then you must have heard the name of Nostradamus. That great prophet whose many predictions have proved true time and again. About 470 years ago, this French astrologer and physician named Michel de Nostradamus had predicted many such events which shook the world. His predictions were later linked to historical events.

One of the most famous prophecies of Nostradamus is related to the death of King Henry II of France. Nostradamus was a good friend of the king there and in his letter he also called him King Henry the Invincible of France. In his Chaupai, he had written about the “young lion” defeating the “old lion” during a battle and getting wounds in its eyes. Henry II later died at the age of 40 after being hit by a spear in the eye during a combat tournament, which people associate with the prophecy of Nostradamus.

Similarly, the massive fire that broke out in London in 1666 was also predicted by Nostradamus. In one of the quatrains he wrote “twenty three six”, indicating the year 1666, that the blood of good people would make a mistake in London and the ancient woman would fall from her high place. It is believed that the ancient woman’s word was said for the city of London. Although the fire was caused by a flame in the bakery, people connect the other signs with the predictions of Nostradamus made at that time.

Nostradamus had already written about many major events of the 20th century. He had written that from the depths of the West of Europe a child would be born in a poor family, who would attract a large army with his tongue. Historians linked it to the rise of Adolf Hitler, who was born in a poor family and became a dictator by making a big impact in Germany with his speech style.

In addition, he criticized the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the death of US President John F. Incidents like Kennedy’s assassination were also hinted at. He talked about a crisis in two cities that was never seen before. After which that crisis was linked to the destruction of those two cities of Japan. For the assassination of Kennedy, he had written, evil from above will fall on a great man, after which the American President was assassinated by sniper firing from a distance. These predictions of Nostradamus made him one of the most famous prophets in the world.
