Prophecies by Nostradamus

Linkage with other quatrains: 9.33.

Probable decoding of number 10.79. If 0 and 9 swap then we will get 1970-1=1969 – the year of election.

Quatrain 1.8* City of Sun

Combien de fois prinse Citй solaire,

Seras, changeant les loi barbares & vaines

Ton mal s'approche, plus seras tributaire,

Le grand Hadrie recouurira tes vaines.

How often will you be captured, O city of the sun,

Changing laws that are barbaric and vain.

Bad times approach you. No longer will you be enslaved.

Great Hadrie will revive your veins.

Quatrain is correctly deciphered by several interpreters as the prediction about Paris, therefore it is marked with a symbol *. The prophecy about his native capital – the city of Sun Nostradamus placed in the first (main) ten of quatrains. No wonder there is a saying: "To see Paris and die." This is the most wonderful city in Europe.

But there is a lot of suffering and hardship in its history!

In May 1588 the people rebelled against the king. He was forced to flee, and Henry of Guise took the capital. However, his celebration was short-lived and six months later he was killed. The city was taken by the Catholic League. In 1589 Paris was besieged by Henry III and Henry of Navarre. Their victory was close, but the king was killed at that time. Only 5 years later Henry IV managed to defeat the Catholic League and enter the capital.

The long period of the reign of Louis XIV is the prosperity, power and worldwide glory of France. The Versailles becomes the object of envy and imitation for the kings of all Europe.

The Great French Revolution of 1789 changed the laws and life of the city. For ten years there has been a fierce struggle – the guillotine was worked. In 1799 the tyrant Napoleon usurped power. For 17 years the country has become a military machine.

In 1814 Paris was taken by the Allied troops of Russia and Prussia. Once again the laws were changed – the old monarchy returned. Soon, again for 100 days, the power was seized by Napoleon.

During the Franco-Prussian war Paris was besieged and then partially occupied by German troops. After the uprising of the Paris Commune in 1870, the republic was finally established in the country.

In 1940 the city was occupied by German troops, in 1944 it was liberated by the Allied forces. Because of the defeats in the World War II, the authority of France was severely undermined. Only owing to the efforts of De Gaulle, whom Nostradamus calls a famous monarch, the country regained the status of a great power.

The last 2 lines are about the future flood, and are associated with quatrain 3.23. In both quatrains the prophet speaks of the waters of the Adriatic Sea, which will cover the city. However if the level of the entire world ocean rises, then it will be waters not only of the Adriatic Sea – the whole of Europe will turn into islands and seas.

The predictions about Italy

Quatrain 5.61 Hannibal

L'enfant du grand n'estant ? sa naissance,

Subiuguera les hauts monts Appennins,

Fera trembler tous ceux de la Balance,

Et des monts feux iusques ? mont Cenis.

The child of the Great who was not present at his birth,

He will subjugate the high Apennine mountains:

All those in Libra will tremble,

And from the Pyrenees to Mont Cenis.

1 line. Hannibal was born in 247 BC in the family of the famous Carthaginian leader Hamilcar. Where the father was at the time of birth of his son is unknown. From the age of 9, Hamilcar took his son on military campaigns and instilled in him a hatred of the Roman republic.

2 line. Hannibal became the head of the Carthaginian troops in Spain and in 218 BC started the 2nd Punic War. His army crossed Pyrenees and Alps in the second half of October (under the sign of Libra). On the Mont-Cenis pass, he ferried not only the army, horses, but also elephants. The arrival of Hannibal's army was unexpected for the Romans. He managed to win a number of victories on the Apennine Peninsula.

Decoding of the number 5.61. If 56 to flip into 29 and rearrange the numbers – 219, then 219-1=218 BC – the beginning of the 2nd Punic War.

Quatrain 10.89* Mellifluous times

De brique en marbre ser?t les murs reduicts,

Sept & cinquante annеes pacifique,

Ioye aux humains, reno?е l'aqueduict,

Santе, grands fruits, joye & temps melifique.

The walls will be converted from brick to marble,

Seven and fifty pacific years:

Joy to people /Joy to mortals/, the aqueduct renewed,

Health, abundance of fruits, joy and mellifluous times.

This interpretation was changed by me after reading the version of A. Penzensky, which is more believable.

This quatrain is about the reign of the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus (23.09.63 BC-19.08.14 AD). Starting from 43 BC he held the post of consul 13 times, then was the pontiff, tribune.

From 43 BC until 14 A.D. it turns out ~ 57 years. However, not all these years have been peaceful. Octavian waged a long civil war egainst Mark Anthony and others. After the war, he concentrated all power in his hands. He managed to restore order in the country, in the army, patronized writers.

1 line. Before his death, he said that The walls of Rome converted from brick to marble. During his reign, many monumental buildings were built and the aqueduct was reconstructed.

Decoding of the number 10.89. If the numbers to rearrange – 19.08, then it will be the day and month of Augustus's death.

Quatrain 2.32* The monster of Ravenna

Laict, sang, grenouilles (d)esco(e)ndre en Dalmatie!

Conflit donne, peste preste, de baleine
