2
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:17,600
May, 1791, the height of the French
Revolution.
3
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:22,409
Three sceptics have set out to
challenge a legend.
4
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:28,338
The legend: Whoever shall drink from
the skull of the man who is buried here
5
00:01:29,008 --> 00:01:30,508
will inherit his powers.
6
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,200
The name of the dead man -
Michel de Nostradamus.
7
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,754
His powers: the ability to predict the
events of the future.
8
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,534
For 200 years, his grave has remained
undisturbed.
9
00:01:45,853 --> 00:01:47,655
Because the legend also said,
10
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,200
that whoever disturbed his grave
would die.
11
00:01:54,795 --> 00:01:58,561
It was not the skeleton that
certainly startled the grave-diggers,
12
00:01:58,872 --> 00:02:01,385
but the plaque around its neck,
with the date
13
00:02:01,543 --> 00:02:03,302
May, 1791.
14
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,326
Which could only have been placed there
at the time of burial, in 1566.
15
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,958
Nostradamas had predicted
16
00:02:17,256 --> 00:02:20,969
200 years before, the exact date
17
00:02:21,485 --> 00:02:23,485
that his body would be dug up.
18
00:02:33,114 --> 00:02:36,511
The shot that killed that grave-digger
19
00:02:36,868 --> 00:02:39,905
was fired from the riot of the
surrounding revolutionists,
20
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:43,473
a stray bullet that fulfilled the legend
of Nostradamas.
21
00:02:44,829 --> 00:02:46,629
Was it a coincidence?
22
00:02:47,770 --> 00:02:48,870
Or a prophecy?
23
00:02:49,864 --> 00:02:52,340
We're going to look at this man,
this,
24
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,169
Michel de Nostradamas.
25
00:02:55,807 --> 00:02:58,200
He was a respected French physician,
26
00:02:59,098 --> 00:03:01,373
whose predictions of the future
27
00:03:01,903 --> 00:03:05,142
have mystified scholars for over 400
years.
28
00:03:06,202 --> 00:03:10,904
We're gonna look at his predictions of
the French Revolution, of the Kennedies,
29
00:03:11,102 --> 00:03:13,102
of Napoleon, of Hitler,
30
00:03:13,508 --> 00:03:20,734
and of another man, who Nostradamas
says is soon to plunge the world
31
00:03:21,555 --> 00:03:23,651
into a catastrophic war.
32
00:03:24,318 --> 00:03:25,918
Was he a quack,
33
00:03:26,318 --> 00:03:27,718
this Nostradamus?
34
00:03:28,331 --> 00:03:33,231
A charlatan? Or was he a true prophet,
a man with a gift
35
00:03:33,302 --> 00:03:35,302
to see what others cannot see?
36
00:03:36,518 --> 00:03:38,218
We're going to let you judge for
yourselves.
37
00:03:39,194 --> 00:03:41,794
If his predictions of the past are
accurate,
38
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:46,407
then his predictions of the future
39
00:03:46,562 --> 00:03:48,760
could very well affect the lives of all
of us.
40
00:03:50,221 --> 00:03:52,621
Nostradamas made over a 1000 predictions.
41
00:03:54,135 --> 00:03:58,651
There are experts who say that over half
of them have already come true.
42
00:03:59,435 --> 00:04:03,487
The most startling of them deals with
the coming of three antichrists.
43
00:04:07,454 --> 00:04:10,820
Hitler is believed to have been
one of these.
44
00:04:17,172 --> 00:04:19,816
Another is thought to have been
Napoleon.
45
00:04:22,823 --> 00:04:27,891
The third antichrist is still to come.
46
00:04:28,961 --> 00:04:32,461
Nostradamus predicts he will be here
within the next 20 years.
47
00:04:33,233 --> 00:04:37,310
A villainous warlord will start the
Third World War.
48
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:42,883
But can Nostradamus or any man see
the future?
49
00:04:45,257 --> 00:04:49,157
In Nostradamus' day, it was believed
that only witches and warlocks,
50
00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:53,572
or those who served the devil, could
see through time.
51
00:04:55,401 --> 00:04:57,478
To claim clairvoyancy was heresy.
52
00:04:58,195 --> 00:05:00,904
And countless people were convicted and
sentenced
53
00:05:00,946 --> 00:05:03,402
to horrible tortures and deaths.
54
00:05:04,516 --> 00:05:08,073
It's only in recent years that scholars
at universities around the world
55
00:05:08,334 --> 00:05:10,034
have begun to seriously study the
question:
56
00:05:10,329 --> 00:05:13,174
can man see into the future?
57
00:05:15,758 --> 00:05:20,614
We asked scientist, Dr Edgar Mitchell, one
of the first men to walk on the moon,
58
00:05:21,304 --> 00:05:24,004
if it's possible to see through time.
59
00:05:25,014 --> 00:05:26,814
Yes, it's possible to see into
the future.
60
00:05:26,934 --> 00:05:29,991
Every human being has virtually
unlimited awareness
61
00:05:30,111 --> 00:05:31,723
and creative capabilities.
62
00:05:32,370 --> 00:05:35,027
Some individuals just have it in greater
measure than others.
63
00:05:35,551 --> 00:05:37,319
There've been a number of studies
on this,
64
00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:39,763
and they're getting better and more
definitive each year.
65
00:05:40,576 --> 00:05:43,761
The future is nothing but a series
of probabilities,
66
00:05:43,964 --> 00:05:46,617
made up of the decisions that we make
right now,
67
00:05:46,924 --> 00:05:48,824
that lead to certain events into the
future.
68
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,032
But every human being has this
capability, determines their own future,
69
00:05:53,258 --> 00:05:55,599
some just have greater awareness
than others.
70
00:05:57,892 --> 00:06:01,524
Nostradamus was conscious of his
greater awareness.
71
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:05,530
Even as a boy growing up in the French
village of Saint-R�my-de-Provence,
72
00:06:05,564 --> 00:06:07,677
for he was born in 1503,
73
00:06:07,748 --> 00:06:11,282
coming from a family with roots in both
Jewish and Christian traditions,
74
00:06:11,629 --> 00:06:16,926
he believed his visions proceeded from the
divine power of God.
75
00:06:19,398 --> 00:06:23,310
His ancestors were Jewish, his family
had converted to Christianity.
76
00:06:23,529 --> 00:06:25,671
So with his grandfather, a doctor,
77
00:06:26,151 --> 00:06:30,551
he studied the Kabbalah, as well as the
Old and the New Testaments.
78
00:06:31,952 --> 00:06:33,636
He also studied the stars.
79
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,931
Nostradamus's early education was an
extraordinary one
80
00:06:37,975 --> 00:06:39,406
for a French youth of his day.
81
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:43,339
His father, who was the village notary,
saw to it that Nostradamus was
82
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:47,342
schooled in the classics and
the sciences.
83
00:06:53,695 --> 00:06:54,914
From his mother,
84
00:06:54,987 --> 00:06:58,306
Nostradamus derived his love of God
and his passionate faith.
85
00:07:01,183 --> 00:07:04,883
He learned to respect the gift of
prophecy as the power of God.
86
00:07:05,005 --> 00:07:10,544
To make all time, past, present and
future, become one time.
87
00:07:13,683 --> 00:07:18,154
One of Nostradamus' earliest recorded
visions was of a religious nature.
88
00:07:19,070 --> 00:07:23,173
While still a youth, he saw a young
Franciscan friar approach the well.
89
00:07:24,657 --> 00:07:27,081
He was compelled to go to the friar and
pay him homage.
90
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,800
He fell to his knees and kissed the
young man's robes.
91
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:34,444
Asked why he was paying such duty to a
lowly friar,
92
00:07:34,695 --> 00:07:36,882
Nostradamus replied,
93
00:07:36,973 --> 00:07:40,557
Because I must kiss the robes
of His Holiness, the Pope.
94
00:07:41,887 --> 00:07:44,765
Nostradamus' behaviour was starting to
be eccentric.
95
00:07:46,998 --> 00:07:49,570
But many years later after Nostradamus
had died,
96
00:07:50,152 --> 00:07:55,373
the young man, Felice Peretti,
became Pope Sixtus V.
97
00:07:59,503 --> 00:08:02,835
But Nostradamus was not yet ready to
pursue a life as a prophet,
98
00:08:02,961 --> 00:08:07,150
instead he attended the university,
where he was trained to be a physician.
99
00:08:08,336 --> 00:08:13,114
While he was still a student, a plague,
the dreaded curse of the 16th century,
100
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:14,615
spread across Europe.
101
00:08:15,294 --> 00:08:19,294
Medical science had no cure for the
disease and so thousands died.
102
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:32,604
Nostradamus left school at the age of 22,
never having practiced medicine before,
103
00:08:32,903 --> 00:08:35,871
went out to try to heal the sick and
dying.
104
00:08:41,522 --> 00:08:44,597
Nostradamus' patients recovered.
105
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:47,648
What cure he used is not recorded.
106
00:08:47,659 --> 00:08:51,508
What is recorded is that his fame as a
healer spread.
107
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:56,739
From near and far, towns afflicted
with the plague sent for him.
108
00:08:56,959 --> 00:08:58,672
His achievements were legendary.
109
00:09:00,345 --> 00:09:04,571
Had he never made a single prediction,
Nostradamus would've endured in history
110
00:09:04,738 --> 00:09:06,738
as a remarkable physician.
111
00:09:09,171 --> 00:09:12,082
His success brought him to the town of
Agen,
112
00:09:12,125 --> 00:09:14,125
where he married and settled down.
113
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:18,145
There rumours of his strange powers to
see into the future
114
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:20,279
provoked much curiosity.
115
00:09:24,384 --> 00:09:27,278
On one occasion he was invited to
a banquet,
116
00:09:27,404 --> 00:09:29,404
where his host attempted to trick him.
117
00:09:31,411 --> 00:09:34,578
He told Nostradamus they would be eating
pig that evening.
118
00:09:34,871 --> 00:09:36,771
He said he had a black pig and a white
pig.
119
00:09:37,088 --> 00:09:40,992
And he invited Nostradamus to predict
which of the two they would be eating.
120
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,974
Nostradamus said the black one.
121
00:09:45,493 --> 00:09:48,728
The host then instructed the cook to
prepare the white pig.
122
00:09:56,934 --> 00:09:58,634
Later that evening,
123
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,797
as they were enjoying their meal,
124
00:10:01,494 --> 00:10:07,874
the host challenged Nostradamus to once
more state which pig they were eating.
125
00:10:10,098 --> 00:10:15,553
Nostradamus replied, as he had before,
the black one.
126
00:10:16,454 --> 00:10:19,548
Triumphantly, the host then called for
the cook
127
00:10:19,618 --> 00:10:23,474
to ask him to declare which of the two
they were eating.
128
00:10:26,324 --> 00:10:29,603
The cook said that while he was
preparing the white pig,
129
00:10:29,604 --> 00:10:31,510
it fell from the table.
130
00:10:31,516 --> 00:10:33,316
It was devoured by dogs.
131
00:10:33,848 --> 00:10:35,848
So he was forced to serve the black one.
132
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:44,971
More and more, Nostradamus was becoming
aware of his power to
133
00:10:45,154 --> 00:10:47,154
predict the future.
134
00:10:51,708 --> 00:10:54,100
But it wasn't until a personal tragedy
struck,
135
00:10:54,864 --> 00:10:56,447
that he took account of that power,
136
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:58,718
and changed his life accordingly.
137
00:10:59,366 --> 00:11:02,651
When the next wave of the devastating
plague took the lives of his
138
00:11:02,676 --> 00:11:05,039
wife and two children in 1533,
139
00:11:05,651 --> 00:11:07,631
he fell into a deep despair.
140
00:11:08,051 --> 00:11:12,469
He retired to a life of seclusion and
became a quiet, introverted man.
141
00:11:13,912 --> 00:11:17,842
He then wandered aimlessly throughout
Europe for the next 10 years.
142
00:11:21,356 --> 00:11:24,759
Nostradamus was looking continually
inward.
143
00:11:25,307 --> 00:11:28,126
He now discovered what it was he had to
do.
144
00:11:29,284 --> 00:11:32,473
He returned to Salon, the south of
France,
145
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,956
where he began to record his visions.
146
00:11:37,527 --> 00:11:40,890
Seated at night in my secret study,
alone,
147
00:11:40,962 --> 00:11:43,368
reposing over the brass tripod.
148
00:11:43,454 --> 00:11:46,463
A slender flame leaps out of the
solitude,
149
00:11:46,512 --> 00:11:49,425
making me pronounce that which is not
in vain.
150
00:11:51,032 --> 00:11:54,619
He chose to write down his predictions
in a four line rhyming verse,
151
00:11:54,647 --> 00:11:56,156
known as the quatrain.
152
00:11:56,179 --> 00:12:00,493
He wrote in his native French, but to
protect himself from the superstitious
153
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,096
witch hunters of the day, he confused
the verse with Latin and Greek,
154
00:12:05,151 --> 00:12:07,151
and even anagrams.
155
00:12:07,767 --> 00:12:10,074
He wrote 1000 quatrains,
156
00:12:10,205 --> 00:12:13,263
dividing them into 10 groups of a 100
each,
157
00:12:13,272 --> 00:12:15,698
called Centuries.
158
00:12:16,012 --> 00:12:21,515
The first edition of his quatrains was
published before his death in 1566.
159
00:12:22,454 --> 00:12:24,682
They continue to be published to this
day.
160
00:12:26,666 --> 00:12:31,695
His visions, Nostradamus wrote,
161
00:12:31,731 --> 00:12:35,634
were received by a subtle spirit of
fire.
162
00:12:36,454 --> 00:12:38,840
By a voice coming from limbo.
163
00:12:39,496 --> 00:12:42,796
These voices and visions were often
fragmented.
164
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:46,578
And they were about things and events
that Nostradamus himself
165
00:12:46,609 --> 00:12:50,915
couldn't understand, but still, he set
them down in verse, in the quatrains.
166
00:12:51,558 --> 00:12:55,706
And obscure, as these quatrains are to
many of us,
167
00:12:55,733 --> 00:12:58,347
they were very clear to others. One
quatrain for example,
168
00:12:58,580 --> 00:13:00,580
the 35th of the first Century,
169
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:03,560
was quickly seized upon as,
suggesting that
170
00:13:03,841 --> 00:13:09,459
the reigning King of France, Henry II,
would die in a jousting tournament.
171
00:13:10,045 --> 00:13:12,986
Nostradamus was quickly summoned before
the king to explain the quatrain.
172
00:13:12,987 --> 00:13:15,443
The king said it was ridiculous.
173
00:13:15,832 --> 00:13:18,194
He'd never participate in such a
tournament.
174
00:13:18,206 --> 00:13:21,161
Nostradamus could only reply that
175
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:23,348
he wrote what he saw.
176
00:13:40,423 --> 00:13:42,855
Despite Nostradamus' warning,
177
00:13:42,863 --> 00:13:45,052
the king did joust in a tournament.
178
00:13:56,130 --> 00:13:59,416
His opponent was the count
Gabriel de Montgomery.
179
00:14:00,401 --> 00:14:03,942
The young lion will overcome the old
one.
180
00:14:13,708 --> 00:14:17,111
In a cage of gold his eyes will be put
out.
181
00:14:28,782 --> 00:14:32,174
Nostradamus wrote many quatrains about
the events in his homeland.
182
00:14:33,074 --> 00:14:36,972
He is said to have predicted the French
Revolution of 1789,
183
00:14:37,332 --> 00:14:40,287
234 years before it happened.
184
00:14:43,858 --> 00:14:47,088
The republic of the great city, with
great harshness,
185
00:14:47,078 --> 00:14:49,351
shall not permit exit to the king.
186
00:14:49,749 --> 00:14:53,679
Being called by trumpets, the ladder
shall be put to the wall
187
00:14:53,688 --> 00:14:56,394
and the city shall repent.
188
00:14:57,390 --> 00:15:00,936
It is estimated that Nostradamus wrote
about 30 quatrains
189
00:15:00,943 --> 00:15:04,524
dealing with this epical moment in
French history.
190
00:15:05,823 --> 00:15:07,117
Despite the king,
191
00:15:07,137 --> 00:15:08,917
the coin will be brought lower.
192
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,365
The people shall rise against their
king.
193
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:15,361
Peace being made, holy laws made worse,
194
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:17,794
Paris was never in such great disorder.
195
00:15:22,031 --> 00:15:25,111
Nostradamus wrote about places he could
never have guessed at,
196
00:15:25,135 --> 00:15:28,486
places that in his time didn't even
exist.
197
00:15:47,458 --> 00:15:53,357
On the night of June 20, 1791, a mob
calling itself The Marseillaise 500
198
00:15:53,477 --> 00:15:56,439
attacked Louis XVIth palace.
199
00:15:56,512 --> 00:15:58,692
Built long after Nostradamus' death,
200
00:15:59,495 --> 00:16:04,021
the palace was called the Tuileries,
which in French means the tile works.
201
00:16:05,812 --> 00:16:09,787
Conflict will take place at the tile works by
500.
202
00:16:13,112 --> 00:16:14,790
Then there's the remarkable quatrain
203
00:16:14,814 --> 00:16:18,732
in which Nostradamus wrote about the
king's flight from Paris.
204
00:16:32,898 --> 00:16:37,418
Louis XVI with his wife, Queen
Marie Antoinette, fled Paris in 1791,
205
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:41,085
taking the odd route via the forest of
Reims.
206
00:16:41,704 --> 00:16:45,081
Disguised as a monk, he was dressed in
grey,
207
00:16:45,082 --> 00:16:46,900
and he went to Varennes.
208
00:16:48,457 --> 00:16:51,761
Nostradamus also wrote about the fate
of the royal couple.
209
00:16:52,013 --> 00:16:55,573
The government taken over will convict
the king.
210
00:16:55,743 --> 00:16:57,880
The king was condemned to death.
211
00:16:59,983 --> 00:17:04,235
The queen sent to death by jurors,
chosen by lot.
212
00:17:05,621 --> 00:17:09,664
Marie Antoinette was condemned to death
by a jury of revolutionaries.
213
00:17:10,205 --> 00:17:15,451
The first time royalty was tried by a
jury, chosen by lot.
214
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:34,350
And the prostitute shares the fate of
the consort.
215
00:17:35,229 --> 00:17:39,869
Madame du Barry, mistress of kings,
also met her fate on the guillotine.
216
00:17:45,045 --> 00:17:48,689
Nostradamus' visions of the future of
his homeland
217
00:17:48,910 --> 00:17:51,371
have been described as being uncanny.
218
00:17:51,969 --> 00:17:56,437
He is said to have heard the thundering
footsteps of Napoleon's troops
219
00:17:56,515 --> 00:18:01,530
and to have seen the cost in human
lives of Napoleon's adventures.
220
00:18:02,443 --> 00:18:05,268
In quatrain after quatrain he's described
221
00:18:05,475 --> 00:18:09,324
the coming of three powerful and
tyrannical leaders.
222
00:18:09,351 --> 00:18:11,443
Men he called antichrists.
223
00:18:12,607 --> 00:18:16,292
He wrote that these men would lead
their people through reigns of terror
224
00:18:16,503 --> 00:18:19,903
after first seducing them with promises
of greatness.
225
00:18:21,111 --> 00:18:23,311
Napoleon is said to have been the first of
the three.
226
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:29,434
An emperor will be born near Italy,
227
00:18:29,618 --> 00:18:32,781
one who will cost his empire quite a
high price.
228
00:18:32,982 --> 00:18:36,796
They will say that even among his
supporters, he will be found
229
00:18:36,865 --> 00:18:39,108
less prince than butcher.
230
00:18:39,121 --> 00:18:44,005
"...take the best soldiers I can find,
who are not drunk..."
231
00:18:44,007 --> 00:18:47,718
Napoleon, who was an emperor, not a king
of France, was born near Italy,
232
00:18:47,719 --> 00:18:49,161
on the island of Corsica.
233
00:18:49,301 --> 00:18:52,250
It was an unheard of place for a French
ruler to be born.
234
00:18:53,321 --> 00:18:57,558
And, even in his own time, Napoleon was
seen as both
235
00:18:57,610 --> 00:18:59,610
prince and butcher.
236
00:19:01,552 --> 00:19:05,235
From a simple soldier he will attain to
empire.
237
00:19:05,367 --> 00:19:07,817
From a short road, he will attain the
long.
238
00:19:08,443 --> 00:19:11,354
Great swarms of bees will arise.
239
00:19:13,415 --> 00:19:16,215
Short roads to long roads, soldier to
emperor.
240
00:19:17,710 --> 00:19:21,650
Napoleon adopted the beehive as his
imperial crest.
241
00:19:25,822 --> 00:19:29,215
For 14 years he will hold the tyranny.
242
00:19:34,342 --> 00:19:36,555
Napoleon's reign of war and terror
243
00:19:36,904 --> 00:19:40,781
from the time he first seized power on
November 9, 1799
244
00:19:40,861 --> 00:19:45,254
to his exile in Elba on April 13, 1814,
245
00:19:45,302 --> 00:19:49,392
was 14 years and 5 months.
246
00:20:14,893 --> 00:20:18,093
Of a name never before held by a French
king.
247
00:20:19,464 --> 00:20:23,363
Napoleon Bonaparte is indeed a name
never before or since
248
00:20:23,739 --> 00:20:25,637
held by a French king.
249
00:20:38,962 --> 00:20:41,212
Napoleon, whose name in Greek means
250
00:20:41,604 --> 00:20:43,023
the new destroyer,
251
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:46,308
invaded Russia in 1812.
252
00:20:46,362 --> 00:20:49,220
His troops sacked and burned Moscow.
253
00:21:01,165 --> 00:21:04,764
Here Nostradamus suggests that the
Russian people would at last
254
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:07,828
rise up and turn back the French
invaders.
255
00:21:08,737 --> 00:21:12,078
He seems to have captured the image of
Napoleon's retreat
256
00:21:12,083 --> 00:21:14,330
across the icy steps of Russia
257
00:21:14,791 --> 00:21:16,651
250 years
258
00:21:16,941 --> 00:21:18,941
before it happened.
259
00:21:41,177 --> 00:21:44,760
Napoleon had overextended his forces,
his army was trapped
260
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:47,468
over 3000 miles from their home base
in France.
261
00:21:47,959 --> 00:21:52,537
He was as much beaten by the Russian
winter as he was by the Russian army.
262
00:21:54,014 --> 00:21:57,171
The French will come to dread the time
of the north winds.
263
00:21:57,225 --> 00:22:00,284
Their forces having driven too far.
264
00:22:06,444 --> 00:22:10,289
Students of the quatrains find
Nostradamus' predictions about
265
00:22:10,297 --> 00:22:13,973
this first antichrist, the man they are
certain is Napoleon,
266
00:22:13,982 --> 00:22:15,982
to be his most extraordinary.
267
00:22:16,648 --> 00:22:21,391
They point to a verse they say tells of
Napoleon's defeat and exile
268
00:22:21,696 --> 00:22:23,696
to the small island of Elba.
269
00:22:25,349 --> 00:22:29,030
The great empire will soon be exchanged
for a small place,
270
00:22:29,305 --> 00:22:32,205
in which he will come to lay down his
scepter.
271
00:22:33,086 --> 00:22:38,081
A small place of tiny area, it will
soon begin to grow.
272
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:47,165
Here, experts say, Nostradamus is
alluding to Napoleon's escape from Elba.
273
00:22:47,925 --> 00:22:51,349
It was a daring attempt to regain power.
274
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:57,053
The captive escaping great dangers, his
fortunes greatly change.
275
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:03,049
Successful, Napoleon began what was to
become known as the Hundred Days,
276
00:23:03,130 --> 00:23:09,373
which would reach a climax on June 18,
1815, on a battlefield in Belgium.
277
00:23:10,569 --> 00:23:15,393
Waterloo, in the third month, of
Napoleon's second reign.
278
00:23:15,699 --> 00:23:23,660
In the third month at sunrise, the boar
and the leopard meet on the battlefield.
279
00:23:32,850 --> 00:23:36,035
Napoleon's enemy was the Duke of
Wellington, a man he called
280
00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:38,068
the leopard of England.
281
00:23:39,019 --> 00:23:43,532
The boar and the leopard meet on the
battlefield.
282
00:24:41,766 --> 00:24:45,766
All day from sunrise to evening,
Napoleon's troops assaulted the English.
283
00:24:47,299 --> 00:24:50,305
But it was the French flank that broke
first.
284
00:24:50,434 --> 00:24:52,932
Wellington, the leopard, could now take
over.
285
00:24:57,535 --> 00:25:02,500
The fatigued leopard looks up to the
heavens, an eagle soars to the sun.
286
00:25:03,622 --> 00:25:05,922
The chief adversary will win the
victory.
287
00:25:06,506 --> 00:25:08,436
The chief adversary, Wellington,
288
00:25:08,565 --> 00:25:14,158
the loser, as Nostradamus may have
predicted 250 years before,
289
00:25:14,570 --> 00:25:15,370
Napoleon.
290
00:25:26,122 --> 00:25:29,567
Neither bugles nor shouts will stop
the soldiers.
291
00:25:29,606 --> 00:25:34,753
Liberty and peace achieved only through
time and death.
292
00:25:43,415 --> 00:25:49,204
Incredible, yes, but there's more,
much more.
293
00:25:50,235 --> 00:25:53,735
Visions of war, bloodshed and death.
294
00:25:54,535 --> 00:25:58,404
Visions of the future that are often
bleak and terrifying.
295
00:25:58,452 --> 00:26:01,083
Visions that tormented Nostradamus,
who was
296
00:26:01,376 --> 00:26:04,539
after all a man of peace, a man who
was a physician, a healer,
297
00:26:04,705 --> 00:26:05,995
for he was a prophet.
298
00:26:06,851 --> 00:26:09,588
Visions that he hoped would cause his
fellow countrymen
299
00:26:09,682 --> 00:26:13,363
to take a long look at the destiny of
France, to wonder about it,
300
00:26:14,094 --> 00:26:15,915
to think about changing it.
301
00:26:16,417 --> 00:26:20,169
And yet, not all of his visions were of
events
302
00:26:20,939 --> 00:26:22,939
to happen in his homeland.
303
00:26:28,793 --> 00:26:32,460
Nostradamus also wrote quatrains which
referred to British royalty,
304
00:26:32,583 --> 00:26:35,611
from Queen Elizabeth I to the reigning
queen.
305
00:26:37,642 --> 00:26:40,513
The most remarkable quatrains dealing
with the royal family
306
00:26:40,514 --> 00:26:43,582
are the two that are said to deal with
King Edward VIII.
307
00:26:43,719 --> 00:26:45,510
Later known as the Duke of Windsor.
308
00:26:50,336 --> 00:26:52,943
Edward was a popular figure wherever he
travelled.
309
00:26:52,991 --> 00:26:56,315
On those travels he met an American
divorc�e, Wally Simpson.
310
00:27:00,132 --> 00:27:03,021
For being unwilling to agree to
separation
311
00:27:03,106 --> 00:27:06,229
he will be recognised as unfitted to be
king.
312
00:27:06,306 --> 00:27:09,797
He will be driven out, and another
shall rule in his place.
313
00:27:12,050 --> 00:27:15,888
Believe me when I tell you
314
00:27:16,738 --> 00:27:19,550
that I have found it impossible
315
00:27:19,691 --> 00:27:22,680
to carry the heavy burden of
responsibility
316
00:27:22,930 --> 00:27:28,449
without the help and support of the
woman I love.
317
00:27:32,176 --> 00:27:36,597
Edward's brother was crowned king in
his place in 1936.
318
00:27:37,053 --> 00:27:39,997
The English people were divided in their
loyalties.
319
00:27:41,552 --> 00:27:44,464
The kingdom will be divided over the
brothers.
320
00:27:44,505 --> 00:27:47,532
One of them will take the arms and name
of Britain.
321
00:27:48,518 --> 00:27:52,162
The new king called himself George VI.
322
00:27:57,730 --> 00:28:02,530
The other, night overtaking him, will
flee for France.
323
00:28:03,023 --> 00:28:06,708
Immediately upon renouncing the throne
and taking Wally Simpson as his wife,
324
00:28:06,753 --> 00:28:09,815
Edward went into exile in France.
325
00:28:10,284 --> 00:28:13,807
An English title will be tardily
conferred on him.
326
00:28:15,223 --> 00:28:18,695
Edward was conferred the title
Duke of Windsor.
327
00:28:23,994 --> 00:28:27,894
Nostradamus also wrote about the
British adventures in the new world.
328
00:28:28,557 --> 00:28:31,610
Only just discovered in the years
before his birth.
329
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:35,914
In several quatrains he is said to have
written about the British colonies
330
00:28:36,045 --> 00:28:39,576
striking out on their own, in a war for
independence.
331
00:28:43,384 --> 00:28:46,555
The West shall be free from the
British Isles.
332
00:28:51,654 --> 00:28:54,864
Nostradamus wrote that line in the
seclusion of an attic room
333
00:28:54,930 --> 00:28:58,180
in a small town in France, about a
country
334
00:28:58,293 --> 00:29:02,179
not yet born, 2000 miles away.
335
00:29:19,947 --> 00:29:24,593
Now listen to quatrain 96, Century 4,
written over 200 years
336
00:29:24,756 --> 00:29:26,920
before the American Revolution.
337
00:29:45,231 --> 00:29:49,377
The eldest sister of the Britannic
Island shall be born
338
00:29:49,479 --> 00:29:51,794
15 years before her brother.
339
00:29:52,166 --> 00:29:55,972
This prediction many experts say not
only suggest that America,
340
00:29:56,055 --> 00:29:58,800
the eldest sister, will achieve
independence
341
00:29:58,875 --> 00:30:00,991
before France, her brother.
342
00:30:01,038 --> 00:30:04,046
but actually stipulates the gap of 15
years
343
00:30:04,142 --> 00:30:06,905
between the beginnings of the republic
in each country.
344
00:30:07,067 --> 00:30:09,938
America, in 1776.
345
00:30:10,062 --> 00:30:12,644
France, in 1791.
346
00:30:18,451 --> 00:30:23,008
By what is promised her, and by help of
truth, she shall succeed
347
00:30:23,053 --> 00:30:25,063
in the Kingdom of balance.
348
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,645
Here, the Nostradamus proponents say
the 16th century French prophet
349
00:30:30,719 --> 00:30:34,617
was predicting that the United States
would one day ensure
350
00:30:34,670 --> 00:30:36,670
the balance of power in the world.
351
00:30:45,856 --> 00:30:49,456
There are experts who say he wrote many
quatrains about future events
352
00:30:49,540 --> 00:30:50,747
in American history.
353
00:30:51,408 --> 00:30:55,370
In one he is said to have predicted
the coming of a great lawgiver.
354
00:30:57,183 --> 00:31:01,633
The Sacred Pomp shall bow down her wings
at the coming of the great lawgiver.
355
00:31:02,331 --> 00:31:05,744
He shall raise up the humble and
defeat the rebellious.
356
00:31:06,144 --> 00:31:08,744
No emulator of his shall be born.
357
00:31:10,418 --> 00:31:14,118
Abraham Lincoln did give to the new
nation its most important new laws.
358
00:31:14,509 --> 00:31:16,109
Those which freed the slaves.
359
00:31:16,911 --> 00:31:20,911
He raised up the humble and defeated
the rebellious Confederate States.
360
00:31:24,698 --> 00:31:29,098
In another quatrain, Nostradamus may be
alluding to Lincoln's assassination.
361
00:31:41,598 --> 00:31:44,908
A conspired death shall come to an
effect.
362
00:31:45,003 --> 00:31:47,912
Charge given and a journey to death.
363
00:31:47,992 --> 00:31:51,593
Elected, created, received by his own
defeated.
364
00:31:51,832 --> 00:31:55,226
Blood of innocents before him by
remorse.
365
00:32:21,997 --> 00:32:24,491
They've killed the president!
366
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,224
A conspired death, Nostradamus wrote.
367
00:32:32,329 --> 00:32:34,863
Lincoln's murder was the result of a
vast conspiracy,
368
00:32:34,916 --> 00:32:38,272
the exact details of which are still
not fully understood.
369
00:32:39,284 --> 00:32:42,684
By his own defeated, Nostradamus added.
370
00:32:43,548 --> 00:32:47,048
Lincoln was killed by those he
vanquished in the civil war.
371
00:32:49,391 --> 00:32:55,185
The researchers and scholars who've
been analysing and interpreting the
372
00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:58,250
quatrains of Nostradamus over the last
four centuries,
373
00:32:58,494 --> 00:33:01,751
have reached some rather startling
conclusions.
374
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,989
And none more startling than the
predictions
375
00:33:05,063 --> 00:33:08,052
of the assassination of not one,
376
00:33:08,517 --> 00:33:10,644
but two American presidents.
377
00:33:10,703 --> 00:33:13,131
Besides finding the quatrain alluding to
378
00:33:13,154 --> 00:33:17,716
the killing of Abraham Lincoln, experts
point to a quatrain which suggests
379
00:33:17,770 --> 00:33:19,770
the assassination of John Kennedy.
380
00:33:21,302 --> 00:33:24,401
The same quatrain also suggests that a
modern day prophet
381
00:33:24,448 --> 00:33:26,776
would predict the tragic event
382
00:33:27,211 --> 00:33:29,211
and would try to warn the president.
383
00:33:35,914 --> 00:33:39,690
The great man falls by lightning in the
day.
384
00:33:39,748 --> 00:33:43,372
An evil foretold by the postulant one.
385
00:33:45,843 --> 00:33:48,823
I, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, do solemnly
swear.
386
00:33:48,939 --> 00:33:51,767
That you will faithfully execute the
office of president
387
00:33:51,829 --> 00:33:53,313
of the United States.
388
00:33:53,379 --> 00:33:56,300
That I will faithfully execute the
office of president
389
00:33:56,315 --> 00:33:57,527
of the United States.
390
00:33:57,534 --> 00:34:00,382
January 20th, 1961,
391
00:34:00,397 --> 00:34:04,167
John Kennedy becomes the 35th president
of the United States.
392
00:34:05,957 --> 00:34:10,784
Ask not what your country can do for
you.
393
00:34:10,823 --> 00:34:13,359
Ask what you can do for your country.
394
00:34:18,346 --> 00:34:23,246
November 22nd, 1963, Dallas, Texas.
395
00:34:23,985 --> 00:34:27,628
The great man falls by lightning in the
day.
396
00:34:33,961 --> 00:34:36,861
An evil foretold by the postulant one.
397
00:34:37,584 --> 00:34:42,475
The postulant one could be the modern
day psychic Jeanne Dixon,
398
00:34:42,531 --> 00:34:46,282
who publicly foretold the assassination
of president Kennedy.
399
00:34:46,408 --> 00:34:47,655
I remember that day
400
00:34:47,758 --> 00:34:51,675
of August 1952, it was pouring down
rain just as it was when you came.
401
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,087
And I felt this person so close to me,
very close to me,
402
00:34:55,113 --> 00:34:56,920
as I went into Saint Matthews.
403
00:34:56,952 --> 00:34:59,042
I was kneeling in prayer in front of
the Holy Mother.
404
00:34:59,126 --> 00:35:02,410
There he showed me, it was a film,
everything that would happen.
405
00:35:02,894 --> 00:35:06,147
And he even showed me that the president
would be seated, he'd be Democrat
406
00:35:06,222 --> 00:35:08,469
and assassinated in his first term.
407
00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:12,378
Now that was a revelation, that was a
prophecy, that would not change.
408
00:35:12,395 --> 00:35:16,502
And then when I got the name of the
assassin
409
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,293
that it would be a plot, that was a
prediction.
410
00:35:19,661 --> 00:35:23,861
That was picking the thoughts, like when
you turn on radio or television,
411
00:35:23,896 --> 00:35:25,316
and pick up a certain channel.
412
00:35:25,779 --> 00:35:28,295
So I picked up the channel and I got the
name of Oswald,
413
00:35:28,315 --> 00:35:29,826
and that's documented before it
happened.
414
00:35:30,356 --> 00:35:35,454
And as I recall, I tried many ways to
get to the president.
415
00:35:35,506 --> 00:35:39,099
And I thought well, the best way, the
easiest way, was to go to Kay Halle.
416
00:35:39,512 --> 00:35:42,383
Key Halle was a very, very close friend
of the presidents'.
417
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,839
In fact, knew the father long before
Jack was born.
418
00:35:47,019 --> 00:35:50,527
And I asked her, would she go up to
the White House and intercede for me
419
00:35:50,693 --> 00:35:53,444
and ask the president not to go
to the south-west.
420
00:35:53,652 --> 00:35:56,393
And his trip had not been announced
publicly.
421
00:35:56,451 --> 00:35:58,249
She said Jeanne, what trip?
422
00:35:58,252 --> 00:36:01,086
I said he pays a trip to the south-west
of Texas.
423
00:36:01,201 --> 00:36:04,827
And she promised go to the White House
and to intercede for me and she did go.
424
00:36:14,435 --> 00:36:18,111
Some say that Nostradamus also wrote
with incredible detail
425
00:36:18,224 --> 00:36:21,056
about the controversy that would follow.
426
00:36:34,340 --> 00:36:38,258
Much controversy still surrounds the
arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald
427
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,400
as Kennedy's assassin.
428
00:36:41,555 --> 00:36:44,568
This is the basement floor of the Dallas
City Hall.
429
00:36:44,688 --> 00:36:46,757
And that's a scuffle on
the basement floor.
430
00:36:46,877 --> 00:36:48,880
It's been... concerned photographers...
431
00:36:48,939 --> 00:36:50,160
He has been shot.
432
00:36:50,209 --> 00:36:52,014
Oswald has been shot.
433
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,922
We think Oswald has been shot...
434
00:36:56,024 --> 00:36:59,717
Being dead, they will accuse an innocent
of the deed.
435
00:37:00,376 --> 00:37:03,743
Oswald was reported to have shot Kennedy
in the back from the 6th
436
00:37:03,744 --> 00:37:05,344
storey of this building.
437
00:37:05,378 --> 00:37:08,532
But two bullets hit the president, one
was clearly from behind.
438
00:37:10,318 --> 00:37:14,462
But some say that the second, the fatal
shot,
439
00:37:16,433 --> 00:37:19,232
came from the front.
440
00:37:26,776 --> 00:37:30,266
The only possible position for an
assassin to be concealed in front of the
441
00:37:30,312 --> 00:37:35,279
car at that moment was this clump of
bushes, known as the grassy knoll.
442
00:37:35,959 --> 00:37:40,455
Some people believe that this film shows
the outline of a man and a rifle
443
00:37:40,588 --> 00:37:42,588
concealed in the bushes.
444
00:37:44,604 --> 00:37:47,604
The guilty one hidden in the misty
woods.
445
00:37:53,195 --> 00:37:56,160
President Kennedy was killed almost 20
years ago.
446
00:37:56,312 --> 00:37:58,705
Still a controversy rages.
447
00:37:58,777 --> 00:38:01,319
The Warren report failed to clear the
air.
448
00:38:01,617 --> 00:38:05,211
A congressional commission and
subsequent FBI reports
449
00:38:05,470 --> 00:38:08,165
have still left questions unanswered.
450
00:38:08,236 --> 00:38:11,272
Is it possible that Nostradamus, four
centuries ago,
451
00:38:11,625 --> 00:38:15,018
could've had an insight
into these strange events?
452
00:38:23,109 --> 00:38:27,523
According to the forecast, another
falls in the hours of the night.
453
00:38:28,175 --> 00:38:31,174
June 5th, 1968.
454
00:38:33,139 --> 00:38:38,477
My thanks to all of you and now it's on
to Chicago and let's win there.
455
00:38:39,125 --> 00:38:43,336
Robert Kennedy has just won the
California primary.
456
00:38:43,628 --> 00:38:47,987
Would Robert Kennedy win the election?
Will he be our next president?
457
00:38:48,354 --> 00:38:52,369
My reply was no. That Senator Robert
Kennedy
458
00:38:52,947 --> 00:38:55,130
will never be president of the United
States
459
00:38:55,195 --> 00:38:57,552
unless he withdraws his candidacy.
460
00:38:57,859 --> 00:39:00,931
And does not run again until 1976.
461
00:39:01,067 --> 00:39:04,940
Because 1976 is his timing, that he's
rushing it.
462
00:39:05,112 --> 00:39:08,898
And that he would be assassinated. And I
said it would be right here,
463
00:39:09,221 --> 00:39:12,950
in this room, as he would be carried away
in his own blood.
464
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:23,300
Get that gun, get that gun...
465
00:39:24,178 --> 00:39:25,178
Stay away from the gun.
466
00:39:29,527 --> 00:39:32,981
Get a hold of his thumb, and break it
if you have to! Get his thumb!
467
00:39:49,238 --> 00:39:52,306
Senator Kennedy has been shot, is that
possible?
468
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:56,138
Is there a doctor in the house? Please,
it's very important.
469
00:39:56,238 --> 00:39:57,852
We need a doctor immediately!
470
00:39:58,287 --> 00:40:00,139
Is there a doctor in the house?
471
00:40:00,687 --> 00:40:02,203
Quiet, please.
472
00:40:02,303 --> 00:40:08,442
Quiet please. The best thing everybody
can do here is, in an orderly way, leave.
473
00:40:08,603 --> 00:40:10,423
Would you please do that?
474
00:40:10,533 --> 00:40:12,969
Just in an orderly way clear the room.
475
00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:15,270
Can we do that, please?
476
00:40:32,451 --> 00:40:35,483
He saw a wrong and tried to right it.
477
00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:38,733
Saw a suffering and tried to heal it.
478
00:40:38,897 --> 00:40:43,397
Saw a war and tried to stop it.
479
00:40:43,410 --> 00:40:45,410
Those of us who loved him,
480
00:40:45,885 --> 00:40:48,563
and who take him to his rest today,
481
00:40:49,101 --> 00:40:54,256
pray that what he was to us, what he
wished for others,
482
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:56,848
will someday come to pass for all the
world.
483
00:40:58,045 --> 00:41:00,776
There's still another Kennedy.
484
00:41:01,175 --> 00:41:03,175
Has Nostradamus written about him?
485
00:41:04,603 --> 00:41:06,759
About Senator Edward Kennedy?
486
00:41:07,302 --> 00:41:11,764
Some students of the quatrains believe
that he has by a series of predictions.
487
00:41:12,466 --> 00:41:15,766
About a family of distinguished
brothers.
488
00:41:18,989 --> 00:41:21,838
The youngest son shall be slandered by a
detractor.
489
00:41:22,518 --> 00:41:24,725
When enormous and martial deed shall be
done,
490
00:41:24,741 --> 00:41:27,498
the least part shall be doubtful to the
eldest.
491
00:41:27,807 --> 00:41:31,007
Soon after, they shall be equal in
government.
492
00:41:31,620 --> 00:41:35,498
Here, Nostradamus is said to be
referring to John Kennedy
493
00:41:35,499 --> 00:41:36,557
as the eldest son,
494
00:41:37,193 --> 00:41:38,557
and Edward as the youngest.
495
00:41:40,565 --> 00:41:43,873
The youngest son shall be slandered by
a detractor.
496
00:41:45,358 --> 00:41:51,181
Although cleared of all charges in the
death of Mary Joe Kopechne in July 1969,
497
00:41:51,613 --> 00:41:56,272
senator Ted Kennedy continues to be
slandered by his detractors.
498
00:41:57,388 --> 00:41:59,888
According to a statement given to the
police by Kennedy,
499
00:42:00,143 --> 00:42:02,886
he was heading for a ferry to the
mainland with Mary Joe Kopechne,
500
00:42:02,909 --> 00:42:06,111
a former secretary to the late Robert
Kennedy, and she was a passenger.
501
00:42:06,619 --> 00:42:09,733
Kennedy said he took the wrong turn and
his car went off a narrow bridge into
502
00:42:09,789 --> 00:42:10,915
8 feet of water.
503
00:42:11,315 --> 00:42:14,115
Kennedy managed to escape, but
Ms Kopechne drowned.
504
00:42:14,461 --> 00:42:17,778
According to police, 8 hours elapsed
before Kennedy showed up at the
505
00:42:17,784 --> 00:42:19,673
police station to report the accident.
506
00:42:29,081 --> 00:42:32,043
This last line of the quatrain could
suggest
507
00:42:32,195 --> 00:42:36,301
that 1984 may be Ted Kennedy's year.
508
00:42:40,253 --> 00:42:43,906
It's no longer considered prophetic to
say that
509
00:42:44,004 --> 00:42:47,885
Ted Kennedy may become president of the
United States, but
510
00:42:47,949 --> 00:42:52,489
consider, as many do, that Nostradamus
may have
511
00:42:52,979 --> 00:42:55,828
predicted it 400 years ago.
512
00:43:00,034 --> 00:43:04,845
Nostradamus wrote in considerable detail
about revolutions and civil wars.
513
00:43:05,466 --> 00:43:06,466
Consider this one.
514
00:43:07,392 --> 00:43:10,115
One of the greatest shall flee into
Spain,
515
00:43:10,184 --> 00:43:13,306
which afterwards shall cause a wound
to bleed long.
516
00:43:13,810 --> 00:43:16,910
Destroying all, he shall reign in
peace.
517
00:43:18,178 --> 00:43:22,478
Spiritual wounds inflicted in the
Spanish Civil War in the 1930's
518
00:43:22,730 --> 00:43:27,330
did bleed long. Festering even after
the end of the Second World War.
519
00:43:28,034 --> 00:43:31,268
The line, they shall reign in peace,
520
00:43:31,351 --> 00:43:34,301
could refer to the fact that the
victorious
521
00:43:34,435 --> 00:43:39,454
fascist regime remained neutral, even
during the Second World War.
522
00:43:39,588 --> 00:43:44,088
Nostradamus went further. He named the
leader of this fascist regime.
523
00:43:44,518 --> 00:43:47,997
From Spanish Franco shall come the
assembly.
524
00:43:48,085 --> 00:43:50,948
With those of the Riviera, there shall
be a struggle.
525
00:43:53,848 --> 00:43:59,407
From Spanish Franco...
526
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,997
Experts point to this quatrain as being
one of Nostradamus'
527
00:44:04,057 --> 00:44:05,807
most remarkable achievements.
528
00:44:05,875 --> 00:44:08,343
To actually record a real name
529
00:44:08,484 --> 00:44:11,303
of a participant in a future historical
event.
530
00:44:12,262 --> 00:44:16,062
This is not the only real name
Nostradamus wrote in his predictions.
531
00:44:16,388 --> 00:44:19,478
In Century 1, quatrain 25, he wrote,
532
00:44:19,511 --> 00:44:23,871
the lost thing is discovered hidden for
many centuries.
533
00:44:23,887 --> 00:44:30,168
Pasteur will be celebrated as a demigod
when the moon completes her great cycle.
534
00:44:30,596 --> 00:44:32,933
Now here he names Louis Pasteur.
535
00:44:33,263 --> 00:44:38,444
It actually gives the date of one of his
greatest scientific discoveries, 1889.
536
00:44:38,477 --> 00:44:42,079
The exact year the cycle of the moon was
completed.
537
00:44:42,457 --> 00:44:45,857
In another quatrain he names
Montgolfier.
538
00:44:46,166 --> 00:44:48,086
The inventor of the air balloon.
539
00:44:52,185 --> 00:44:55,688
The 16th century earth bound Nostradamus
540
00:44:56,691 --> 00:44:59,591
clearly foresaw that man would take to
the skies.
541
00:45:01,711 --> 00:45:04,311
Everyone shall go safely by air.
542
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:08,620
He predicted the coming of the space
age.
543
00:45:14,051 --> 00:45:17,551
After a great human change, another is
at hand.
544
00:45:17,784 --> 00:45:20,558
The great engine reneweth with the ages.
545
00:45:20,704 --> 00:45:25,399
In the heaven shall be seen a running
fire with long sparks.
546
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:30,864
They will be propelled in contraptions
of flying fire, he wrote.
547
00:45:31,646 --> 00:45:32,946
And they will go to the moon.
548
00:45:33,587 --> 00:45:37,117
He will come to take himself to the
corner of Luna,
549
00:45:37,291 --> 00:45:41,967
where he will be taken and placed on a
strange land.
550
00:45:42,014 --> 00:45:45,441
Eagle, we got you now, it's looking good.
Over. - Roger, copy.
551
00:45:45,565 --> 00:45:47,806
Contact light? - Okay, engine stop.
552
00:45:47,852 --> 00:45:49,578
We copy you down, Eagle.
553
00:45:49,698 --> 00:45:52,575
Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed.
554
00:46:03,258 --> 00:46:07,352
He saw man exploring the universe above,
into the great space of the heavens.
555
00:46:08,241 --> 00:46:12,738
He also saw man exploring the world
below him, deep in the sea.
556
00:46:15,019 --> 00:46:18,003
He shall go out in an iron fish.
557
00:46:18,248 --> 00:46:24,772
By lightning on the arch, gold and silver
melted, the fleet can swim under water.
558
00:46:24,878 --> 00:46:28,732
It shall be as a barn under the sea.
559
00:46:29,963 --> 00:46:32,146
He foresaw the periscope.
560
00:46:32,563 --> 00:46:36,163
The eye of the sea watches like a greedy
dog.
561
00:46:36,663 --> 00:46:40,863
He foresaw that man would use this new
invention to make war.
562
00:46:41,077 --> 00:46:43,777
In an iron fish, he will make war.
563
00:46:48,019 --> 00:46:52,104
Nostradamus wrote that man would
escalate the way in which he waged war,
564
00:46:52,147 --> 00:46:54,784
as he improved his technology.
565
00:46:54,968 --> 00:46:59,719
He wrote about man's seemingly insatiable
desire to refine the art of destruction.
566
00:46:59,913 --> 00:47:02,057
He wrote specifically about three men,
567
00:47:02,202 --> 00:47:07,307
who would twist this technology to serve
their own megalomania.
568
00:47:08,512 --> 00:47:15,356
Three infamous and evil tyrants,
antichrists,
569
00:47:15,676 --> 00:47:17,502
as Nostradamus called them,
570
00:47:17,637 --> 00:47:20,409
would alter the course of the world's
history.
571
00:47:20,679 --> 00:47:24,847
The first of these antichrists was to
have been Napoleon.
572
00:47:25,314 --> 00:47:29,083
The second, Nostradamus wrote,
573
00:47:29,264 --> 00:47:33,291
is a man stained with murder.
574
00:47:33,423 --> 00:47:37,509
The great enemy of the human race, worse
than any who had gone before.
575
00:47:37,523 --> 00:47:39,923
Bloody and inhuman.
576
00:47:41,591 --> 00:47:44,742
Scholars are unanimous in agreement,
577
00:47:45,344 --> 00:47:50,710
the 16th century prophet here was
writing about Adolf Hitler.
578
00:47:54,414 --> 00:47:58,752
From the Aryan height, there shall
arise one who is both elevated
579
00:47:58,863 --> 00:48:00,347
and obscure.
580
00:48:00,438 --> 00:48:05,739
Of him who rules from the most horrible
throne ever known.
581
00:48:16,426 --> 00:48:19,442
Out of the deepest part of the west of
Europe,
582
00:48:19,471 --> 00:48:22,909
from poor people, a young child shall
be born,
583
00:48:23,059 --> 00:48:29,014
who with his tongue shall seduce many
people.
584
00:48:34,635 --> 00:48:35,765
Charlatanism,
585
00:48:36,244 --> 00:48:39,393
combat, anti-socialism,
586
00:48:39,442 --> 00:48:40,893
hate to the Jews...
587
00:48:41,013 --> 00:48:45,925
treachery... murder... race insanity.
588
00:48:46,084 --> 00:48:50,823
I am the leader of the German people.
589
00:48:51,948 --> 00:48:56,948
A great squawker, proud without shame, shall
be elected governor of the army.
590
00:48:59,333 --> 00:49:04,105
A captain of great Germany shall
come to yield himself by false hope,
591
00:49:04,223 --> 00:49:07,123
so that his revolt will cause great
bloodshed.
592
00:49:14,477 --> 00:49:17,072
They shall subjugate the borders of the
Danube,
593
00:49:17,116 --> 00:49:21,080
they shall pursue crosses of iron,
topsy-turvy.
594
00:49:26,353 --> 00:49:30,278
Under the feigned shadow of freeing
people from slavery,
595
00:49:30,306 --> 00:49:34,801
he shall usurp the people and city for
himself.
596
00:49:44,375 --> 00:49:46,738
He came to power in 1933.
597
00:49:47,377 --> 00:49:50,477
The German people surrendered to him
their hopes.
598
00:49:51,404 --> 00:49:55,934
European nations surrendered to him
their liberties.
599
00:49:56,063 --> 00:49:58,503
He shall come to tyrannise the land,
600
00:49:58,742 --> 00:50:01,556
he shall raise up a hatred that had
long been dormant.
601
00:50:02,121 --> 00:50:04,936
The child of Germany observes no law.
602
00:50:05,428 --> 00:50:11,946
Cries and tears, fire, blood, and
battle.
603
00:50:14,356 --> 00:50:18,171
It reads like a Grimms' fairytale,
604
00:50:18,782 --> 00:50:22,403
till you remember how hideously real it was.
605
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:26,043
In all of these quatrains,
606
00:50:26,115 --> 00:50:30,971
Nostradamus is accurately describing the
horror that was Adolf Hitler.
607
00:50:31,863 --> 00:50:35,786
There are three other quatrains we
should mention here in which
608
00:50:35,980 --> 00:50:41,778
some experts believe Nostradamus
actually mentions Hitler by name,
609
00:50:42,248 --> 00:50:45,197
missing by just one letter.
610
00:50:45,710 --> 00:50:52,212
These quatrains contain the name of
the man called Hister - H i s t e r.
611
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,461
Now the expert asks, given the task
of seeing 400 years into the future,
612
00:50:57,535 --> 00:51:01,406
isn't it possible that Nostradamus could
make such a mistake?
613
00:51:01,448 --> 00:51:03,148
No matter, they say.
614
00:51:03,149 --> 00:51:08,949
There are enough quatrains that do
suggest Hitler without naming him.
615
00:51:12,404 --> 00:51:18,226
The Premier worse than ever did Nero
see the spilling of brave human blood.
616
00:51:24,384 --> 00:51:27,084
He shall cause the furnace to be
rebuilt.
617
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,744
Brothers and sisters shall be slaves in
various places.
618
00:51:31,833 --> 00:51:37,384
They shall go in heaviness, witness
their chin, forehead and nose.
619
00:51:41,630 --> 00:51:43,607
The bloody emperor by battle
620
00:51:43,611 --> 00:51:48,720
shall make a speech and roast
the tongue, the flesh and the bones.
621
00:51:59,903 --> 00:52:03,769
It's claimed that Nostradamus attributes
the rise of Hitler
622
00:52:03,850 --> 00:52:08,942
to the failure of the League of Nations,
which met at Geneva.
623
00:52:10,433 --> 00:52:14,383
The faults of Geneva will be laid bare.
624
00:52:14,642 --> 00:52:17,943
Once the League of Nations failed to
stop aggression
625
00:52:17,966 --> 00:52:23,534
in Ethiopia and Manchuria, Hitler
responded by launching his own war.
626
00:52:35,681 --> 00:52:39,615
The Nazi blitzkrieg rolled against its
European neighbours.
627
00:52:44,841 --> 00:52:48,691
The great leader of Germany will
incorporate into great Germany
628
00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:52,650
Brabant, Flanders, Ghent, Bruges,
629
00:52:52,701 --> 00:52:54,501
and Wallonia.
630
00:52:54,594 --> 00:52:56,885
He will assail Vienna and Cologne.
631
00:52:58,382 --> 00:53:06,097
Tours, Orleans, Blois, Angers, Reims,
cities vexed by sudden change.
632
00:53:06,349 --> 00:53:08,249
Land and sea shall tremble.
633
00:53:22,593 --> 00:53:25,793
Hitler took his war into the skies, in the
battle of Britain.
634
00:53:36,345 --> 00:53:40,446
What followed was one of the greatest
air battles the world has ever known.
635
00:53:53,932 --> 00:53:58,184
Hitler committed his entire arsenal to
breaking England's will.
636
00:53:58,675 --> 00:54:01,975
The British people fought back with
startling courage.
637
00:54:03,886 --> 00:54:06,717
In the island shall be such horrible
tumults
638
00:54:06,789 --> 00:54:10,130
that nothing shall be heard by a
war-like surprise.
639
00:54:10,238 --> 00:54:14,146
So great shall be the assault of the
robbers that everyone shall shelter
640
00:54:14,162 --> 00:54:16,287
himself under the great line.
641
00:54:24,106 --> 00:54:27,618
There's a remarkable verse in which he
implies
642
00:54:27,713 --> 00:54:33,235
that the whole population of London will
take refuge in the great line,
643
00:54:33,430 --> 00:54:35,430
under the city.
644
00:54:35,522 --> 00:54:40,122
Which of course is a very good
description of the London Underground.
645
00:54:49,870 --> 00:54:54,633
In all 10 of his books, Nostradamus
writes about
646
00:54:55,177 --> 00:54:58,177
what could be the Second World War.
647
00:54:58,489 --> 00:55:03,606
He suggests not only the rise of
Hitler but the rise of Mussolini.
648
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:09,882
Born in a hovel, elevated to power is he
who is empty and vain,
649
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,300
a treacherous brute.
650
00:55:12,396 --> 00:55:14,903
He will tyrannise Italy.
651
00:55:15,966 --> 00:55:21,100
Other quatrains experts say predict the
Nazi invasion of
652
00:55:21,177 --> 00:55:23,950
Belgium and their occupation of Norway.
653
00:55:24,996 --> 00:55:29,721
So extensive in fact were the visions
of Nazi victories in the quatrain that
654
00:55:30,385 --> 00:55:34,985
they were actually used as propaganda
weapons by the Third Reich.
655
00:55:35,867 --> 00:55:40,181
Frau Joseph Goebbels, wife of Hitler's
propaganda minister,
656
00:55:40,510 --> 00:55:44,667
read the quatrains and, elated at their
predictions of victory,
657
00:55:44,710 --> 00:55:46,433
showed them to her husband.
658
00:55:47,690 --> 00:55:50,185
Goebbels agreed with his wife.
659
00:55:50,273 --> 00:55:54,142
Nostradamus' predictions could serve
as a propaganda weapon.
660
00:55:55,049 --> 00:55:58,432
With clever selection and manipulation,
661
00:55:58,641 --> 00:56:01,363
they could be used to help break the French
Resistance.
662
00:56:06,020 --> 00:56:09,474
He ordered Nazi planes to bombard France
with leaflets
663
00:56:09,547 --> 00:56:13,077
bearing Nostradamus' predictions of Nazi
victories.
664
00:56:17,152 --> 00:56:20,830
France did fold, the Nazis marched into
Paris
665
00:56:21,029 --> 00:56:23,663
on June 14th, 1940.
666
00:56:25,695 --> 00:56:29,721
The French nation, they will believe in
rash things.
667
00:56:29,801 --> 00:56:31,801
They will be in great grief.
668
00:56:36,921 --> 00:56:41,797
The Allies were quick to respond to
Hitler's exploitation of
669
00:56:42,022 --> 00:56:44,082
Nostradamus' prophecies.
670
00:56:44,115 --> 00:56:47,653
Winston Churchill, with the aid of an
astrologer,
671
00:56:48,031 --> 00:56:52,637
published those quatrains that he felt
forecast Hitler's defeat.
672
00:56:53,214 --> 00:56:55,853
The Roman power will be defeated,
673
00:56:55,862 --> 00:56:59,825
then a great neighbour also, then they
will turn about in confusion.
674
00:56:59,887 --> 00:57:03,207
A great country perverted will be
vanquished.
675
00:57:03,832 --> 00:57:08,084
And the Americans also used Nostradamus'
predictions
676
00:57:08,194 --> 00:57:11,742
in a homefront propaganda effort.
677
00:57:13,867 --> 00:57:18,226
MGM Studios, under producer Cary Wilson,
produced a series of shorts
678
00:57:18,501 --> 00:57:21,135
about Nostradamus for the movie
theatres.
679
00:57:21,355 --> 00:57:23,655
Beyond exploring the mysteries of
prophecies,
680
00:57:24,117 --> 00:57:26,717
the films served the national interest.
681
00:57:29,941 --> 00:57:32,841
But Nostradamus made some predictions about
us too.
682
00:57:46,774 --> 00:57:52,413
Yes, the people of the 13 colonies chose
freedom as the protector of this land.
683
00:57:52,813 --> 00:57:56,829
For endless years freedom has and will
hold up the famed torch.
684
00:57:57,704 --> 00:58:01,179
In freedom's name we have struggled,
we shall continue to struggle
685
00:58:01,209 --> 00:58:05,790
and shall finally triumph. Not without
the sacrifice and not without the pain
686
00:58:06,096 --> 00:58:09,397
that must forever make mankind free.
687
00:58:09,467 --> 00:58:13,726
Nostradamus wrote those words almost
400 years ago.
688
00:58:18,127 --> 00:58:22,365
Nostradamus scholars say the war ended
as the French prophet had predicted -
689
00:58:22,804 --> 00:58:24,635
with the defeat of Germany,
690
00:58:24,846 --> 00:58:26,846
and with the invention of a new weapon.
691
00:58:32,424 --> 00:58:34,820
Satin of gold will be changed
into iron.
692
00:58:35,582 --> 00:58:39,783
The contrary of the positive ray shall
exterminate all.
693
00:58:43,082 --> 00:58:45,794
The contrary of the positive ray...
694
00:58:46,930 --> 00:58:48,832
This is thought to be a reference
695
00:58:48,950 --> 00:58:52,609
to the chain reaction involved in
nuclear fission.
696
00:58:53,721 --> 00:58:57,769
Fire, the colour of gold, from heaven to
earth shall be seen.
697
00:59:00,052 --> 00:59:05,279
Great murder of mankind, great loss of
infants.
698
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:17,549
All this has been about the past.
699
00:59:17,917 --> 00:59:24,612
A conjecture of how Nostradamus viewed
history from his time to ours.
700
00:59:25,797 --> 00:59:30,162
What about today, the present, the here
and now?
701
00:59:30,897 --> 00:59:33,876
Well, if you keep one eye on your daily
newspaper,
702
00:59:34,636 --> 00:59:36,636
and one eye on the quatrains,
703
00:59:36,649 --> 00:59:39,985
I think you can pretty quickly see why
so many of his partisans
704
00:59:40,212 --> 00:59:45,111
continue to insist on his relevancy in
modern times.
705
00:59:50,704 --> 00:59:56,228
Even more remarkable is how Nostradamus
may have foreseen the events in Iran.
706
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,604
The ancient name of which was Persia.
707
01:00:20,267 --> 01:00:24,167
Nostradamus scholars insist that this is
a startling prediction
708
01:00:24,928 --> 01:00:27,028
about the fate of the Shah of Iran.
709
01:00:29,133 --> 01:00:31,861
Too great a faith shall betray the
monarch,
710
01:00:31,949 --> 01:00:34,453
a secret omen that he shall die.
711
01:00:35,199 --> 01:00:36,299
And what of the next line...
712
01:00:39,009 --> 01:00:42,709
Being ended there, it shall commence in
France.
713
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,837
Until last year the majority of people
714
01:00:45,846 --> 01:00:48,449
did not know who the Ayatollah Khomeini
was.
715
01:00:48,601 --> 01:00:52,501
Let alone that he would launch his coup
against the Shah from Paris.
716
01:00:53,439 --> 01:00:59,614
Yet Nostradamus wrote this quatrain
over 400 years ago.
717
01:01:00,790 --> 01:01:02,670
All too much?
718
01:01:02,885 --> 01:01:04,885
Well, let's pause for a moment.
719
01:01:05,845 --> 01:01:09,544
That's the past and the present. What
about
720
01:01:09,672 --> 01:01:11,026
the future?
721
01:01:12,063 --> 01:01:14,588
This brings us now to the very essence
of the mystery.
722
01:01:15,876 --> 01:01:17,576
How accurate is he?
723
01:01:18,973 --> 01:01:23,754
Can we dismiss old Nostradamus,
and all we've just seen as
724
01:01:24,688 --> 01:01:28,597
coincidence? Or facile interpretation?
Or...
725
01:01:28,978 --> 01:01:30,829
Is there just possibly
726
01:01:30,902 --> 01:01:34,140
some real substance and credibility to
what he's written?
727
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:40,401
If we accept past evidence as proof of
his accuracy,
728
01:01:40,657 --> 01:01:44,157
then there's a fair chance that what he
said about our future
729
01:01:44,405 --> 01:01:46,670
might also be true.
730
01:01:47,072 --> 01:01:50,882
And if so, then we must listen very
carefully.
731
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,375
Do we really want to know about the
future?
732
01:01:56,346 --> 01:01:57,999
Maybe so.
733
01:01:58,407 --> 01:02:03,076
If we can change it, if by heeding the
warnings,
734
01:02:03,786 --> 01:02:06,422
we can alter our destiny for the better.
735
01:02:08,346 --> 01:02:08,795
But,
736
01:02:10,852 --> 01:02:12,552
can we change the future?
737
01:02:14,165 --> 01:02:16,765
Of course it's possible to change the
events of the future.
738
01:02:17,336 --> 01:02:20,588
Since the future is nothing but the
summation of our decisions
739
01:02:20,996 --> 01:02:24,291
made now, that project the future.
740
01:02:24,779 --> 01:02:26,663
When we don't like what we're seeing,
741
01:02:26,681 --> 01:02:29,184
if we're aware of what those events are
going to lead to,
742
01:02:29,461 --> 01:02:31,546
we simply change our minds about what we
want.
743
01:02:32,130 --> 01:02:34,237
The future is determined by our
decisions.
744
01:02:34,368 --> 01:02:36,119
And if through great awareness,
745
01:02:36,243 --> 01:02:38,943
we do not like the trend that is taking
place,
746
01:02:39,348 --> 01:02:42,543
we change our mind and thus change the
course of history.
747
01:02:42,889 --> 01:02:47,553
Nostradamus also believed that the
future can be changed.
748
01:02:47,977 --> 01:02:50,374
In an epistle to his infant son, Cesar,
749
01:02:50,737 --> 01:02:52,999
in which he dedicated his life's work to
him,
750
01:02:53,362 --> 01:02:57,271
he wrote that the tragedies he predicted
could be averted.
751
01:02:58,022 --> 01:03:01,893
William Shakespeare, born two years
before Nostradamus died,
752
01:03:02,065 --> 01:03:06,665
also wrote that man, if he chose to, could
be the master of his fate.
753
01:03:08,523 --> 01:03:13,681
What of the idea then, that we do still
have it in our power
754
01:03:14,071 --> 01:03:16,191
to affect the future...
755
01:03:16,643 --> 01:03:22,954
Let's go ahead and look for the signs as
Nostradamus wrote about those signs. Let us
756
01:03:23,211 --> 01:03:26,970
now encounter the events still to come.
757
01:03:27,417 --> 01:03:29,517
But before continuing,
758
01:03:29,947 --> 01:03:34,347
let me warn you now that the
predictions of the future
759
01:03:34,495 --> 01:03:37,757
are not at all comforting.
760
01:03:38,012 --> 01:03:41,294
I might also add that these predictions
of the past,
761
01:03:41,353 --> 01:03:43,025
these warnings of the future,
762
01:03:43,169 --> 01:03:47,970
are not the opinions of the producers
of this film.
763
01:03:49,455 --> 01:03:51,055
They're certainly not my opinions.
764
01:03:53,650 --> 01:03:56,873
They are interpretations of the quatrains
as made by scores of
765
01:03:56,898 --> 01:03:59,652
independent scholars of Nostradamus'
work
766
01:04:00,167 --> 01:04:02,875
during the last several hundred years.
767
01:04:04,302 --> 01:04:07,167
These scholars tell us that Nostradamus
foresees
768
01:04:07,223 --> 01:04:10,012
a great worldwide drought and famine
769
01:04:10,156 --> 01:04:12,156
within the next decade.
770
01:04:30,017 --> 01:04:34,317
When the comet shall run...
771
01:04:35,062 --> 01:04:38,790
Halley's comet, that most spectacular of
comets,
772
01:04:38,954 --> 01:04:42,602
shall run again in 1986.
773
01:04:45,097 --> 01:04:49,791
Distress from fire in the sky, there is
a very great drought.
774
01:04:50,476 --> 01:04:54,076
Fish in the sea, river and lake boiled
hectic.
775
01:04:59,722 --> 01:05:02,724
A great famine do I see drawing near.
776
01:05:02,768 --> 01:05:06,609
Turning from one way to another, and
becoming universal.
777
01:05:07,990 --> 01:05:13,875
A famine so great and so long that man
shall become a man-eater.
778
01:05:16,003 --> 01:05:20,547
Nostradamus also predicts great natural
disasters like earthquakes.
779
01:05:21,256 --> 01:05:24,630
His proponents say that he actually
gives the months
780
01:05:24,698 --> 01:05:27,967
and year of a cataclysmic quake.
781
01:05:28,055 --> 01:05:31,755
He predicts it will begin after a series
of volcanic eruptions,
782
01:05:32,103 --> 01:05:36,503
not unlike those currently exploding in
the American north-west.
783
01:06:02,452 --> 01:06:08,423
So Nostradamus has given us the month,
May, of a great earthquake.
784
01:06:09,028 --> 01:06:13,728
And more he has given us the year.
785
01:06:14,686 --> 01:06:18,988
Astrologists tell us the conjunction of
Saturn, Capricorn, Jupiter and Mercury
786
01:06:19,037 --> 01:06:22,837
will occur again in 1988.
787
01:06:25,307 --> 01:06:28,690
May, 1988.
788
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:35,440
But where does Nostradamus say this
great earthquake will strike?
789
01:06:44,024 --> 01:06:48,893
According to many scholars, whenever
Nostradamus wrote about new cities,
790
01:06:49,012 --> 01:06:51,612
he was referring to cities in the new
world of America.
791
01:06:52,721 --> 01:06:57,021
Here he could've been referring to the
new cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles,
792
01:06:57,478 --> 01:06:59,978
both of which sit on an earthquake
fault line.
793
01:07:03,163 --> 01:07:07,152
The San Andreas fault comes up from the
Mexican border
794
01:07:07,217 --> 01:07:11,509
and goes up past San Francisco, very
close to San Francisco.
795
01:07:11,738 --> 01:07:13,338
And on up to the north.
796
01:07:13,739 --> 01:07:16,956
The crust of the earth is broken up into
plates,
797
01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:19,376
which are moving with respect to each
other.
798
01:07:19,510 --> 01:07:23,289
Normally it doesn't occur smoothly.
799
01:07:24,178 --> 01:07:26,110
Strain builds up like
800
01:07:26,131 --> 01:07:28,316
the energy you store in a rubber band
when you stretch it.
801
01:07:28,647 --> 01:07:31,244
Until the rubber band breaks,
802
01:07:31,414 --> 01:07:37,397
and the plates, the rocks along the edge,
snap back into line.
803
01:07:39,023 --> 01:07:42,479
The vibrations that are caused by that
sudden motion
804
01:07:43,312 --> 01:07:46,542
radiate out and are felt and recorded
as an earthquake.
805
01:07:46,863 --> 01:07:49,961
There was one of about magnitude 8 in 1906
806
01:07:50,281 --> 01:07:52,281
that destroyed San Francisco.
807
01:07:53,299 --> 01:07:56,923
It's been determined that the recurrence
rate between
808
01:07:57,562 --> 01:08:00,429
great earthquakes is about 160 years.
809
01:08:00,916 --> 01:08:04,752
The last one was in 1857, that was 122
years ago.
810
01:08:04,974 --> 01:08:08,661
We're getting up into the time period
where we have to think about
811
01:08:08,699 --> 01:08:10,347
such an occurence.
812
01:08:11,945 --> 01:08:17,245
Fire from the centre of the earth shall
make an earthquake in the new city.
813
01:09:03,117 --> 01:09:07,190
Nostradamus foresees that these
disasters will be worldwide.
814
01:09:08,733 --> 01:09:14,670
I bewail Nice, Monaco, Pisa, Genoa,
Savona, Sienna,
815
01:09:14,793 --> 01:09:17,487
Capri, Modena, Malura.
816
01:09:17,624 --> 01:09:25,277
Fire and earthquake. There will be great
floods, unhappy endings.
817
01:09:58,661 --> 01:10:01,446
The deluge will be so great and sudden
818
01:10:01,522 --> 01:10:06,771
there will be no spot of earth for a
firm foothold.
819
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:14,474
Nostradamus, like the Bible, predicted
that these natural disasters
820
01:10:15,180 --> 01:10:18,649
will precede a great war. A war far
worse
821
01:10:18,873 --> 01:10:20,873
than all the other wars put together.
822
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:29,068
Nostradamus not only predicts the Third
World War, but he even predicts
823
01:10:29,497 --> 01:10:34,493
when and where it will begin, and who
will be fighting.
824
01:10:34,535 --> 01:10:36,178
He tells us too,
825
01:10:36,247 --> 01:10:39,362
how long the war will last and who will
survive.
826
01:10:40,563 --> 01:10:43,375
First we ask, when?
827
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,295
In one quatrain he tells us
828
01:10:46,387 --> 01:10:49,215
that the war will begin when the sun,
Mars and Mercury
829
01:10:49,281 --> 01:10:50,919
conjunct in the sign of Aquarius.
830
01:10:51,099 --> 01:10:53,707
And this conjunction is an infrequent
one.
831
01:10:53,862 --> 01:10:57,532
It happens again in 1994.
832
01:10:58,671 --> 01:11:02,330
So this could be the year in which the
Third World War begins.
833
01:11:03,100 --> 01:11:05,526
In another quatrain, he gives us
834
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,601
an actual date when the war will be
well under way.
835
01:11:25,150 --> 01:11:29,533
Out of the country of greater Arabia
shall be born a strong master of
836
01:11:29,586 --> 01:11:31,586
Mohammedan law.
837
01:11:32,325 --> 01:11:36,092
This king will enter Europe wearing a
blue turban.
838
01:11:36,118 --> 01:11:40,697
He is one that shall cause the infernal
gods of Hannibal to live again.
839
01:11:42,049 --> 01:11:47,073
He will be the terror of mankind, never
more horror.
840
01:11:47,917 --> 01:11:54,400
This king, this warlord, Nostradamus
says, will wage war against the West.
841
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,262
A kingdom of the fez shall come to the
throne of Europe.
842
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,429
When?
843
01:12:03,882 --> 01:12:09,526
Starting between 1994 and 1999.
844
01:12:10,742 --> 01:12:12,461
Where?
845
01:12:12,551 --> 01:12:15,207
From the Middle East, an invasion of
Europe
846
01:12:15,395 --> 01:12:20,553
spreading across the entire world, a war
lead by a great king of terror,
847
01:12:20,581 --> 01:12:24,153
third antichrist, after Napoleon, after
Hitler.
848
01:12:24,466 --> 01:12:29,542
A leader so terrible he will bring the
world, according to Nostradamus,
849
01:12:30,494 --> 01:12:33,836
face to face with final annihilation.
850
01:12:35,468 --> 01:12:41,174
The great one of the east by land, sea
and air with a great army will cross
851
01:12:41,217 --> 01:12:42,940
with death.
852
01:12:43,135 --> 01:12:46,682
The kingdom of the church will be
overcome by the sea.
853
01:12:46,751 --> 01:12:50,456
From Persia, very nearly a million.
854
01:12:50,593 --> 01:12:55,628
From Persia, from greater Arabia, from
the kingdom of Mohammed.
855
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,390
Nostradamus clearly suggests
856
01:12:59,795 --> 01:13:03,519
that the Middle East will play a central
role in the trouble to come.
857
01:13:04,660 --> 01:13:07,195
There are few contemporary foreign
policy experts
858
01:13:07,258 --> 01:13:08,600
who could quarrel with him.
859
01:13:08,803 --> 01:13:12,305
World attention is now focussed on that
part of the world with its
860
01:13:12,808 --> 01:13:17,340
oil deposits and its growing population
of devout Muslims.
861
01:13:21,532 --> 01:13:24,932
There are over 750 million Muslims in
the world,
862
01:13:25,361 --> 01:13:26,861
most of them in the Middle East.
863
01:13:27,500 --> 01:13:30,632
Recently they have been rediscovering
their Islamic roots.
864
01:13:31,608 --> 01:13:33,794
Long suppressed by the superpowers,
865
01:13:33,827 --> 01:13:36,547
they are now beginning to reassert
themselves politically.
866
01:13:37,461 --> 01:13:40,161
They can do this because they have the
oil that the West needs.
867
01:13:40,597 --> 01:13:44,516
They can become, experts agree, a threat
to world peace.
868
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:48,973
But are they capable of waging a nuclear
war against the West
869
01:13:49,330 --> 01:13:51,856
within the next 20 years?
870
01:13:52,500 --> 01:13:54,700
Nostradamus would seem to say yes.
871
01:13:56,058 --> 01:13:57,858
Through an alliance with Russia.
872
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,489
The Moorish law will be seen to fall,
873
01:14:01,554 --> 01:14:03,895
followed by another that is more
pleasing.
874
01:14:04,300 --> 01:14:06,800
Boristanis will be first to give way.
875
01:14:08,314 --> 01:14:11,786
Nostradamus experts agree that here the
French seer
876
01:14:11,825 --> 01:14:15,306
is suggesting that Islam will spread
through Russia.
877
01:14:15,717 --> 01:14:19,809
Starting in the south, near the river
Boristanis.
878
01:14:20,172 --> 01:14:24,372
They foresee Soviet nuclear capacity
combining with Islamic manpower,
879
01:14:25,245 --> 01:14:28,167
to wage war by 1999.
880
01:14:34,575 --> 01:14:40,075
The sky will burn at 45 degrees, fire
approaches the great new city.
881
01:14:41,912 --> 01:14:45,550
Nostradamus names the first nuclear
target,
882
01:14:45,748 --> 01:14:49,148
a great new city near 45 degrees
latitude.
883
01:14:53,030 --> 01:14:57,948
Experts agree that that could only mean
New York.
884
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,500
By fire he will destroy their city.
885
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:35,503
An inhuman cruel heart, cold. Blood will
pour, mercy to none.
886
01:15:45,300 --> 01:15:48,800
Nostradamus is also said to have
written of the American response.
887
01:15:52,300 --> 01:15:56,915
The trumpet shakes with great discord.
888
01:15:57,218 --> 01:16:00,880
An agreement broken, lifting the face to
heaven,
889
01:16:00,955 --> 01:16:03,065
the bloody mouth will swim in the blood.
890
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,500
Overcome, the great nation is uncertain.
891
01:16:17,342 --> 01:16:21,312
Shortly before the sun, a battle is
engaged.
892
01:17:10,399 --> 01:17:16,723
Then will come the great tumult, warfare
on a greater scale than ever before.
893
01:17:17,141 --> 01:17:21,367
Explosions. There will be a great
onslaught.
894
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,600
There will be terror...
895
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:00,226
Garden of the world, the new city in the
way of the man-made mountains
896
01:18:00,398 --> 01:18:04,188
shall be seized on, and plunged into
ferment.
897
01:18:05,051 --> 01:18:09,053
Again Nostradamus suggests New York with
its skyscrapers,
898
01:18:09,093 --> 01:18:10,955
its man-made mountains,
899
01:18:11,284 --> 01:18:13,284
will be a nuclear target.
900
01:18:26,988 --> 01:18:32,703
Nothing, the prophet says, will keep
the city from dying.
901
01:19:03,700 --> 01:19:07,095
From hidden fires, a great place burns
with heat.
902
01:19:07,836 --> 01:19:09,477
A hot wind.
903
01:19:09,858 --> 01:19:11,308
War.
904
01:19:17,500 --> 01:19:20,691
The great city will soon be quite
deserted.
905
01:19:20,999 --> 01:19:25,875
Not a single one of the inhabitants will
remain.
906
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,600
Nostradamus tells us how long the war
will last.
907
01:19:37,131 --> 01:19:40,331
The war shall last 7 and 20 years.
908
01:19:42,304 --> 01:19:43,989
The earth trembles,
909
01:19:44,305 --> 01:19:46,795
pushed into the air and falls again.
910
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,664
The herald is sent out to call for
surrender.
911
01:20:17,506 --> 01:20:20,245
The barbarian shall be driven back.
912
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,192
And all the kingdoms of Christianity,
913
01:20:24,248 --> 01:20:30,298
and all the unbelievers shall quake
for the space of years.
914
01:21:14,007 --> 01:21:17,165
There shall be more grievous wars
and battles.
915
01:21:17,834 --> 01:21:21,049
Towns, cities, castles and other
buildings
916
01:21:21,069 --> 01:21:23,448
shall be burnt, desolated and destroyed.
917
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,034
Married women and widows ravished,
918
01:21:26,141 --> 01:21:29,404
sucking children dashed against the
walls of towns.
919
01:21:30,172 --> 01:21:34,348
So many evils shall be committed, that
almost the entire world
920
01:21:34,426 --> 01:21:37,092
shall be undone and desolate.
921
01:21:42,215 --> 01:21:43,969
Antichrist...
922
01:21:44,785 --> 01:21:47,077
Three times will he be annihilated,
923
01:21:47,759 --> 01:21:51,559
7 and 20 years will blood be shed in
war.
924
01:21:51,968 --> 01:21:56,775
Century 8, quatrain 77, Nostradamus
tells us that the war
925
01:21:56,866 --> 01:21:59,995
will end 7 and 20 years after it begins
with the death
926
01:22:00,010 --> 01:22:02,100
and the defeat of the antichrist.
927
01:22:02,286 --> 01:22:06,166
And it shall end due to an unexpected
alliance.
928
01:22:07,100 --> 01:22:10,600
When those of the Arctic Pole shall be
united together,
929
01:22:11,475 --> 01:22:13,875
there shall be in the East great
fear and trembling.
930
01:22:14,300 --> 01:22:19,600
Those of the Arctic Pole could mean
the Soviet Union,
931
01:22:21,302 --> 01:22:23,302
the United States.
932
01:22:24,112 --> 01:22:26,625
As we see here.
933
01:22:26,861 --> 01:22:28,988
at the Bering Straits, the two
934
01:22:29,163 --> 01:22:32,294
countries are at their closest point in
the Arctic Circle.
935
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:39,649
One day, Nostradamus wrote, the two
great masters will be friends.
936
01:22:40,100 --> 01:22:42,100
Their great powers will be increased.
937
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,700
The Eastern ruler will be vanquished.
938
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,800
The sun and the eagle will appear to be
victorious.
939
01:22:55,380 --> 01:23:00,870
Peace, prosecuted by death, it shall be
achieved.
940
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:06,511
In one night, the tree that has been
long dead and withered,
941
01:23:06,697 --> 01:23:08,894
shall grow green again.
942
01:23:52,447 --> 01:23:55,376
After this war shall have lasted a good
while,
943
01:23:55,544 --> 01:23:58,029
there shall be a renewed reign of Saturn,
944
01:23:58,252 --> 01:24:00,252
and a golden age.
945
01:24:00,474 --> 01:24:06,274
Here shall begin an age of universal
peace, a peace of a thousand years.
946
01:24:11,005 --> 01:24:15,140
And after a peace for a thousand
years,
947
01:24:15,726 --> 01:24:18,320
Nostradamus tells us next to nothing.
948
01:24:19,220 --> 01:24:24,702
He does however tell us in what year
the world will finally come to an end.
949
01:24:25,606 --> 01:24:28,260
The year: 3797.
950
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:38,571
He wrote about the end of the world in
a letter to his infant son.
951
01:24:38,907 --> 01:24:43,432
You know, it's at such times that each
of us looks at the long road ahead,
952
01:24:43,467 --> 01:24:46,967
contemplating not only our own future,
but the future of our children.
953
01:24:47,511 --> 01:24:51,094
Not many of us can see the future, but
none of us need be Nostradamus or
954
01:24:51,699 --> 01:24:54,599
have his gifts for seeing through time.
955
01:24:54,761 --> 01:25:00,745
To sense that we are at a crossroads,
that our immediate future could hold,
956
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,900
the worst war man will ever know. So we
must each of us in our own way
957
01:25:05,532 --> 01:25:08,606
do something to make sure that that war
will never happen.
958
01:25:09,700 --> 01:25:15,726
Perhaps if we heed Nostradamus, if we
face up to the challenges of the future,
959
01:25:15,962 --> 01:25:17,962
it need not be too late.
960
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:23,020
Not for us, not for our children...
961
01:25:23,509 --> 01:25:25,509
or our children's children.
