1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: First centuries. No Stradamis's prophecies have been dismissed as vague poetry, 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,960 But what if that was intentional? 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 2: Hitting codes? 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: Suppressed interpretations and eerie accurate predictions suggests his writings may 5 00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:13,640 have been meant for those who knew how to read 6 00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:37,679 between the lines.

But 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,640 let's dive in. Michele d Notre Dame was born in 16 00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:09,840 December of fifteen oh three. His exact birthday is. 17 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,519 Speaker 2: Up for debate. 18 00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:11,359 Speaker 1: Some people say it's like the twenty first, some people 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,920 say it's fifteenth. There's other dates throwing around. We're not 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,239 going to get into it. He was born in fifteen 21 00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:20,159 oh three in December. His name is usually Latinized as 22 00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,280 no Tre Damis, and that's what most people call him, 23 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:25,719 so I'll be referring to him by that name throughout 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,359 the episode, but he did not actually go by that 25 00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:31,519 name until he started writing later in his life. He 26 00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:35,439 was born in saw Rami de Provence in Provence, France. 27 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,040 He was one of at least nine children. There are 28 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280 nine children that we have found. There may have been 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,840 more children than his parents had, and we just don't 30 00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:47,760 know about them because it has been many centuries since 31 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:52,560 he was alive. His father's family was historically Jewish, but 32 00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,200 the family was converted to Catholicism by his grandfather and 33 00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:02,239 the family name then changed to Notre Dame Nostradamis lived 34 00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:07,079 during the Renaissance. This was considered a rebirth for Europe. 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,479 The word literally translates to rebirth or revival. This was 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,120 a cultural movement, so this era was characterized by the 37 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:19,759 European rediscovery and revival of the literary, philosophical, and artistic 38 00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:26,599 achievements of classical antiquity. This was a time when science, mysticism, astrology, religion, 39 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,479 and medicine frequently overlapped with each other. It's important to 40 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,199 note for further into his life that science and the 41 00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,680 occult were deeply intertwined during this time and they didn't 42 00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:41,479 really separate from each other for a while. There is 43 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,400 little known about his early childhood, but at the age 44 00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:48,960 of fourteen, he entered the University of Avignon to study 45 00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:53,639 for his baccalaureate. This is the French national academic qualification 46 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800 that students can obtain at the end of their secondary education. 47 00:02:57,479 --> 00:02:59,800 He was forced to lead the university a little over 48 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,240 a year after being there because. 49 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: Of an outbreak of the plague. 50 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: He then traveled the countryside for about eight years. He 51 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,960 was researching herbal remedies, and during his travels he became 52 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,280 an apothecary, which is basically a pharmacist. In fifteen twenty nine, 53 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680 he injured the University of Montpellier to study for a 54 00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:22,280 doctorate in medicine. This was one of Europe's leading medical schools. 55 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,560 He didn't finish that school either, because he was actually 56 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,599 expelled shortly after starting because it was discovered that he 57 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,439 had been an apothecary. So being an apothecary carried with 58 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:36,560 it this stigma because there was no standardized training or 59 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,599 regulation when it came to apothecaries, and they were often 60 00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:44,680 seen as poison peddlers, especially because their shops often sold 61 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:49,800 dangerous substances like arsenic, mercury and other toxic compounds. Because 62 00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:53,879 there wasn't as much information about the herbs they were using, 63 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,639 some of them were actually poisoning the people and nobody 64 00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:02,039 really knew about it. Good apothe carey's studied plants for years, 65 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,240 and some had their own gardens where they grew these 66 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,479 plants and then they would sell it to other people. 67 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: But that wasn't always the case. 68 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,759 Speaker 1: But during this time, most people used herbs and remedies 69 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,920 to fix their ailments, either going to an apothecary shop 70 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,160 to buy them or making them buy themselves at home. 71 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,759 Trained physicians were way too expensive and were typically only 72 00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:32,639 used for like kings, nobles in the elite, so most peasants, 73 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,959 like regular folks, weren't getting a doctor to come look 74 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,160 at them. They were going to an apothecary for some 75 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:41,959 herbal remedy. At the university, no shra Damis was studying 76 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,879 at the profession had been expressly banned, so when they 77 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,720 found out that he had been doing this for years prior, 78 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,759 they kicked him out. Regardless of the fact that he 79 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,800 never received the title. Some of his publishers and correspondents 80 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,800 would later call him doctor, and people would come to 81 00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:03,560 him with their ailments to include royalty, so it didn't 82 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,000 matter that he was never technically a physician. After being expelled, 83 00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,560 he went back to work. He became famous for creating 84 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,800 a rose pill that was said to protect people against 85 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,920 the plague. Although the Black Plague pandemic occurred in the 86 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,399 thirteen hundreds, the plague was still a very big issue 87 00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:23,839 in the fifteen hundreds. In fifteen thirty one, no Stra 88 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:27,920 Damis was invited to agent by a leading Renaissance scholar. 89 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,839 While there, he got married and the pair went on 90 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,040 to have two children, basically like back to back to back. Unfortunately, 91 00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:38,480 three years later, his wife and children all died. It's 92 00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:42,800 assumed that they died due to the plague. After their deaths, 93 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,399 he started traveling again throughout France and possibly to Italy 94 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:48,759 as well, and it's assumed that that's kind of where 95 00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:52,199 he learned some of his occult things that he would 96 00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:56,439 use for his prophecies in the future. In fifteen forty five, 97 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,399 he assisted physician Luis Sayer in his fight against a 98 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,560 major player outbreak in Marseille. He was very good at 99 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,000 fighting the plague because he promoted hygiene and fresh air 100 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,639 along with his herbal realities. So it wasn't just like 101 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920 he shows up, he's dirty, he's disgusting, and he's like, 102 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,920 let me fix your ailment. 103 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,759 Speaker 2: He showed up and he's like, we should be clean people. 104 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: Like we should go outside and actually get some fresh air, 105 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,519 go into the sun, and try to heal ourselves with 106 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,399 more things than just whatever herbs I've brought, which these 107 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:32,319 things were very radical at the time, especially because having 108 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,319 good hygiene wasn't even considered by most people. 109 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,399 Speaker 2: Most people would. 110 00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: Not have even considered to wash their hands or to 111 00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,439 I don't know, like just be clean people. It just 112 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,759 wasn't a thing really, And I mean it's not like 113 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:46,399 they have indoor plumbing. It's not like they have got 114 00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:48,720 indoor showers. They're not like bathing all the time. So 115 00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:50,839 this was not an easy. 116 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: Thing to do either. 117 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,759 Speaker 1: Blood Letting was a popular treatment of the plague during 118 00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:59,240 this time, and Nostra Damas completely rejected this practice. So 119 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,519 blood letting the practice of removing blood from a person 120 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,360 to treat their illness. This has been proven ineffective and dangerous, 121 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,199 so it's rarely used in modern medicine. 122 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: However, on few. 123 00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: Occasions they will do something similar if a person has 124 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,199 conditions like iron overload or excess red blood cells, they'll 125 00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:21,600 like take some blood out, but typically this is not 126 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:24,879 a practice that is used any longer. When the doctor 127 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,920 no longer needed his help, no stra Damis then continued 128 00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:30,639 the fight against the plague on his own in other 129 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,920 parts of province. In fifteen forty seven, at the age 130 00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:37,920 of forty four, he finally settled in Salon de To Province, 131 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,839 in a house that is still there today if you 132 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:44,439 want to go and see where nost Dramas lived. He 133 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,879 finally remarried a rich widow and Ponsarde. They would go 134 00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:53,000 on to have six children together. Being widowed and losing 135 00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:57,399 children was pretty commonplace at the time because the plague 136 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,519 was still pretty rampant and medicine was just like, not 137 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,839 very advanced, so it wasn't like they were saving people 138 00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,879 all that often, and it actually it wasn't even until 139 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,319 recently that people stopped dying from common colds and just 140 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:16,000 ailments that we easily healed today. Around fifteen fifty he 141 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,439 visited Italy once again and began to move away from 142 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,279 medicine and toward the occults. That's when he wrote an almanac. 143 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,519 It was also the first time he latinized his name 144 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,200 to Nostrodamis in print. This almanac did so well that 145 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,399 he decided to write one or more annually. These almanacs 146 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,240 are known to have contained at least six three hundred 147 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,879 and thirty eight prophecies as well as at least eleven 148 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,120 annual calendars over the life of all the almanacs. It 149 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,679 said that after his first wife died, he started to 150 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,639 dig deeper into astrology, prophecy, and esoteric study. He might 151 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,039 have been looking for a way to bring his wife back, 152 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,960 or maybe he just started to meditate trying to get 153 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,120 over the death of his wife. It's really unknown what 154 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,960 led him down this path. Because of his almanacs, nobility 155 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,559 and prominent people from all around started asking him for 156 00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:16,960 horoscopes and psychic advice. At these sessions, he would expect 157 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,440 his clients to supply their own birth charts for predictions 158 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:23,600 to be made from, because he just like really wasn't 159 00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:28,480 very good at creating birth charts. Typically, professional astrologers would 160 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:31,799 have calculated them themselves, and he is considered to be 161 00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:34,879 a professional astrologer. Now if he was at the time, 162 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,759 it's not one hundred percent clear, But he just like 163 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,720 wasn't very good at creating the actual birth chart. However, 164 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:47,200 he was very good at making prophecies and predictions according 165 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,759 to the birth chart. He would make them on occasion 166 00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:51,639 if he had to, but again he made like so 167 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,759 many mistakes when he did it. 168 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: He just tried not to do that. 169 00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: After the success of the Almanac, he took on the 170 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,080 project of writing a book of one thousand quatry. This 171 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:04,120 is where most of his prophecies he is famous for 172 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600 today were pulled from. Many of the prophecies and quatrains 173 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:10,840 are written in code because he was very nervous about 174 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,600 the opposition he might face on religious grounds, so there 175 00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:17,519 were word games mixed in and a variety of languages 176 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:23,159 such as Greek, Italian, Latin, and provincial. This book, which 177 00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:27,919 was called The Prophecies, received mixed reviews. Some people thought 178 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,120 he was just serving evil with this book, or that 179 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,279 it was fake and he was just like crazy, while 180 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,120 many elites believed what he had published. In fact, Catherine 181 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:42,679 de Medici, the wife of King Henry I of France 182 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,200 was a huge admirer of Nostra Damas. She had summoned 183 00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:49,840 him to explain some of his prophecies from his almanacs 184 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,799 and had him drop horoscopes for her children. Nora Damas 185 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,840 was nervous about being summoned by Catherine because he didn't 186 00:10:57,879 --> 00:10:58,559 want to be. 187 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: Beheaded, but actually the opposite happened. 188 00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:05,039 Speaker 1: She eventually would make him the counselor and physician in 189 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,159 ordinary for her son, King Charles the ninth of France. 190 00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,799 King Charles was sent to the throne at age ten 191 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,879 after his brother died. Religious persecution was a huge concern 192 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,679 for Nostradamus. This was during the time of the Inquisition, 193 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,039 which was the Catholic judicial procedure in which they were 194 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:30,320 trying to combat heresy, apostasy, blasphemy, witchcraft and customs they 195 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,840 considered deviant. Luckily, for him, prophecy and astrology were not 196 00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:39,559 considered heresy in the eyes of the Church, so extremely 197 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,080 if he had used magic to support his prophecies, then 198 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,879 it would have been a different story. He did have 199 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,759 a brush with the law, so to speak, in fifteen 200 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,559 sixty one, when they briefly imprisoned him for publishing his 201 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,639 fifteen sixty two almanac without the prior permission of the bishop. 202 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:00,879 Speaker 2: So they were like, you published, you should have got 203 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,279 our provision. They put them in jail, then they let 204 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:03,600 him go. 205 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: No. Stradamis has struggled with gout for years. Gout is 206 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,559 this form of inflammatory arthritis typically found in the joint 207 00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,159 of the big toe. It can be found other places, 208 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,279 but that's typically where it's found. It made it really 209 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,240 difficult for him to walk, and it was super painful. 210 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:24,200 In fifteen sixty six, his gout turned to edema, which 211 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,480 means that there was like fluid build up in his limbs. Today, 212 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,879 these things can be lived with, but then fifteen hundreds 213 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360 this meant death was on the horizon. Knowing this, he 214 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,200 called his lawyer to drop his will. He would be 215 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:40,960 leaving his property and about three hundred thousand dollars in 216 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,799 today's currency to his wife, pending her remarriage. He also 217 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,159 left money to each of his children. The boys would 218 00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:50,080 get their money on their twenty fifth birthdays, and the girls. 219 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,240 Because he had three girls and three boys, the girls 220 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,159 would get their money when they got married. Actually, the 221 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,399 girls wouldn't technically get anything at all, and his wife 222 00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,480 actual wouldn't anything either. All the money would go to 223 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,600 the spouse of the girls when they got married. So 224 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,600 when the wife gets remarried, then they get the money 225 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:12,480 and the property. When the girls get married, then they 226 00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,600 get the money, but it doesn't actually go to them, 227 00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:19,399 It goes to their husband's The story of Nostradamis's death 228 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,279 is intriguing, to say the least, so on the evening 229 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,200 of July first, fifteen sixty six, he told his secretary quote, 230 00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:31,039 you will not find me alive at sunrise, and as predicted, 231 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,320 the next morning, he was found dead, just like laying 232 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,399 on the floor next to his bed, and you can 233 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,200 actually still find his tomb in France if you're looking 234 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,759 for it. We are going to dive a little bit 235 00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:45,559 deeper into his most famous work, The Prophecies. Although it 236 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:48,159 was said to be one thousand quad trains, it actually 237 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,720 turned out to only be nine hundred and forty two 238 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:56,440 poetic qua trains, each organized into ten centuries. Each century 239 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,000 contained one hundred quatrains, except the last, which only had 240 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,759 forty two. A quad train is a type of stanza, 241 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,080 or a complete poem, consisting of four lines. They often 242 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,799 have various rhyme schemes like ABAC or aa BA. So 243 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,240 like Robert Frost's poem Stopping by Woods on a snowy 244 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,600 Evening is an example of a poem that has four 245 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:25,200 quad trains that follow the AABA scheme. So this just 246 00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:28,039 means like for this poem, that lines one, two, and 247 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,240 four all rhyme while line three doesn't, whereas like an ABAC, 248 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,960 lines one in three would rhyme and lines two and 249 00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:38,440 four would not rhyme at all with each other or 250 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,200 with the A lines. Like I said, these quad trains 251 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,000 were written in a cryptic mix of French, Latin, Greek, 252 00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:49,480 and Italian with anagrams and symbolic language, so it was 253 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:54,440 really hard to decipher what they were. And also even 254 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:57,519 now the translations are a little bit wonky, so you'll 255 00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:01,799 see multiple translations of the same quatr. He did this 256 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,879 to avoid the Catholic Church's wrath. He also deliberately avoided 257 00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:09,039 clear dates, names, and locations. This was because he didn't 258 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:12,759 want the knowledge to be misused. It also ensures that 259 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,440 only quote unquote, those worthy of the prophecy could interpret 260 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:19,639 the messages. You had to be able to read between 261 00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:24,440 the lines in order to interpret the messages he was 262 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,519 trying to scent. This was also why so many of 263 00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,279 the prophecies are figured out after the fact and not before, 264 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,360 and hindsight is twenty twenty. He claimed these visions came 265 00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:40,039 to him through a mix of astrological calculations, meditative trances, scrying, 266 00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:43,960 which is staring into water or a reflective surface, and 267 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:50,159 divine inspiration. He explicitly denied being a sorcerer, but admitted 268 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,679 to using ancient methods derived from her meticism, Neoplatonism, and 269 00:15:55,879 --> 00:16:02,399 possibly cabalistic traditions. Hereticism is a philosophical and religious tradition 270 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,639 rooted in the teaching attributed to Arames Triskamiscus, a combination 271 00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:10,480 of the Greek god Airmes, the Olympian deity, and the 272 00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:16,159 Olympic god Thought, the god of the moon, knowledge, writing, wisdom, science, 273 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,000 and magic. Her Meticism combines a variety of esoteric knowledge 274 00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:26,320 to include alchemy, astrology, and theology. Also known as divine magic, 275 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:31,879 It has influenced mystical and occult traditions throughout history. Neoplatonism 276 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:38,000 is a version of philosophy derived from Plato and Kabbalah. 277 00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:42,440 Is the mystical tradition within Judaism rooted in ancient esoteric 278 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,039 teachings and focused on understanding the nature of God, the universe, 279 00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:50,159 and the human soul. It's known as occult knowledge. But 280 00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:52,399 why does all this matter? So like some guy wrote 281 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,360 some prophecies, So what these prophecies have come true? 282 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 2: And not all of them. But there have been a 283 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,840 good amount of prophecies that have come true. 284 00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: In fact, the first prophecy to come true happened only 285 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:08,519 four years. 286 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 2: After his book was published. 287 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: In the summer of fifteen fifty nine, King Henry the 288 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,240 Second of France died from injuries he sustained while jousting. 289 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,039 No stra Damis had predicted this. His quatran actually wrote, quote, 290 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,200 the young lion will overcome the older one on the 291 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,519 field of combat in a single battle. He will pierce 292 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,759 his eye through a golden cage. Two wounds made one 293 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,039 then he dies a. 294 00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: Cruel death end quote. 295 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: So turns out King Henry was jousting a younger opponent 296 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,599 and was pierced through his headgear. Then the wooden lance 297 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,079 shattered into fragments and penetrated his right orbit and his temple. 298 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,240 He was tended to for eleven days by the most 299 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:52,960 distinguished physicians of the Renaissance, but ultimately died a very slow, 300 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,480 painful death, the young lion being the person that King 301 00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:59,359 Henry was jousting on the field of combat in a 302 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,839 single battle. Jousting can seem like a combat, like like 303 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,480 one on one fight between two people. He will pierce 304 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:10,279 his eyes through a golden cage. The golden cage could 305 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,480 be his head care that he was wearing. And then 306 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,279 two wounds made one. He was wounded in his eye 307 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,000 and in his temple, and he will die a cruel death. 308 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: He did. He died a very slow, painful death. 309 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: Just a few years after this prophecy came true, the 310 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,160 prophecy about King Philip the Second of Spain came true 311 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,880 as well. So Catholic King Philip took the throne in 312 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,200 fifteen fifty six and became extremely wealthy during his time. 313 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,920 The qua Train states quote, for seven years, Philip's fortunes 314 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,400 will prosper. He will reduce the Arab army. Then halfway 315 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,799 through things will perplexedly turn against him. A young onion 316 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,400 will destroy his fortune. 317 00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: End quote. 318 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: Now, in the Bible, seven years is often used to 319 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,599 denote a long, unspecified period, so seven years doesn't actually 320 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,720 mean seven years literally, but also seven seems to signify 321 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:10,079 the completion of something in the Bible, like this is done, 322 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,519 and the Bible references make a lot of sense because 323 00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:15,720 he was a Catholic king. Also, he had defeated a 324 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:20,000 large Ottoman naval force at the Battle of Leponteou in 325 00:19:20,039 --> 00:19:24,720 fifteen seventy one, thus reducing the Arab army. In fifteen 326 00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:28,720 eighty seven, however, Queen Mary of Scots was executed. This 327 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,359 is important because she was Catholic and her death effectively 328 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:36,160 ended his alliance with England, and the destruction of the 329 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,759 Spanish armada bound for England as an invasion force the 330 00:19:39,759 --> 00:19:43,440 next year sealed his fate. The Young Onion is a 331 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,839 nod to Henry the fourth of France, France being a 332 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,559 nation renowned for its fine onions, and his success and 333 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,839 fortune was completely ruined. The next prophecy when it come 334 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,920 true for over a century. On September second, sixteen sixty six, 335 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:05,079 a small fire broke out in a bakery on Putting 336 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,319 Lane in London. Now, fires were very common and were 337 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,680 put out relatively quickly, but in this case, London had 338 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,759 been in the midst of a particularly hot, rainless summer, 339 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,519 meaning everything was primed for fire, especially wooden buildings. The 340 00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:23,440 fire spread quickly, and in no time more than three 341 00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:27,079 hundred houses were ablaze, and there was no end in sight. 342 00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,559 Attempts to put out the fire proved useless, and for 343 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,480 almost four days this fire raged on. It was so 344 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,240 bad that King Charles the Second ordered for houses in 345 00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:38,440 the fire's path to be pulled down to create a 346 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,319 fire break, but that didn't stop the fire. Everyone was 347 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,200 helping to try to stop this fire. Even the King 348 00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:46,519 himself was out there trying to fight the fire. By 349 00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:49,359 the end of the devastation, four fifths of London was 350 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,480 burned to the ground, including nearly all the civic buildings 351 00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,440 and thirteen thousand private residences. 352 00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: The city had to be almost entirely rebuilt. 353 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: No stra Damas had written of this, saying, quote, the 354 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,160 blood of the just will be lacking in London burnt 355 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,279 up in the fire of sixty six. The ancient lady 356 00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:12,359 will topple from her place high. Many of the same sect. 357 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 2: Will be killed in quote. 358 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,599 Speaker 1: So the number of casualties actually was relatively low, given 359 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,680 the circumstances and how many buildings had burned up. In fact, 360 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,039 it's noted that only about six people died in this fire, 361 00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,079 so it speculated that the blood of the just is 362 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,119 actually referring to the millions of flea carrying rats that 363 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,920 contributed to the Great plague the year prior to this. 364 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:38,799 The benefit of this fire is that basically it put 365 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,799 an end to the plague in London by killing all 366 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,960 these strains of disease that these rats were carrying. So 367 00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:48,480 it was nice that that happened, but also the entire 368 00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:51,680 city burnt down again. It would be over a century 369 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:55,039 until the next prophecy came true. This one was the 370 00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:58,880 French Revolution, which was a major turning point in the 371 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,960 country's history. Frustrations were rising against French royalty until it 372 00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:05,079 finally boiled over. 373 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 2: In seventeen eighty nine. 374 00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: The people executed their last king, King Louis the sixteenth, 375 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,759 and their last Queen, Marie Antoinette. The people had stormed 376 00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:18,559 the best still prison to free political prisoners. They then 377 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,200 were angered by the price of bread, so they marched 378 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,599 from Paris to Versailles and stood outside the royals home 379 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,319 with the guard's heads on pikes, waiting for the king 380 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,079 and queen just so they could take them back to 381 00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:32,319 Paris like it was wild, and it wouldn't be until 382 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,720 January of seventeen ninety three that King Louis would lose 383 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:37,920 his head, and then nine months after that the Queen 384 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,680 met the same fate, and the crowd just like cheered 385 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,480 and chanted. They were super excited about this. They were 386 00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:46,400 cheering on the fact that they were like beheading their 387 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,839 king and queen. Nostra Dramas had a quatrain that seemed 388 00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:54,359 to predict this exact thing. Quote Songs, chants, and demands 389 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,160 will come from the enslaved held captive by the nobility 390 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,319 in their prisons. At a later date, brainless idiots will 391 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,200 take these as divine utterances. 392 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:04,839 Speaker 2: End quote. 393 00:23:05,559 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: There are several interpretations of this quatrain, as there are 394 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,440 with so many of them, but it seems easy to 395 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:12,319 connect it. 396 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: To the French Revolution. 397 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: So the people weren't technically enslaved, but there's no doubt 398 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,160 that they had suffered and that they blamed royalty for it. 399 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,559 And there were some that were held captive by nobility 400 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,400 in their prisons, which is why the people stormed the 401 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,200 Bastille prison and then freed these people. And then the 402 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,079 brainless idiots part actually seems to hit the nail right 403 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,039 on the head when it comes to the king and 404 00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:37,839 Queen being beheaded, because they literally cut their heads off 405 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:43,480 and then they became brainless. The next quatrain that points 406 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:47,640 to a big event says paw nay Lauren more fire 407 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,200 than blood swimming in praise. The great man hurries to 408 00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:56,160 the confluence. He will refuse entreat to the magpies, Pampon 409 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,880 and Durance will confine them. 410 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: This one, it seems. 411 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: To be a little more cryptic and not as straightforward 412 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,799 as some of the others. But what we will see 413 00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:08,160 is we continue, is they're all a bit cryptic, and 414 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,279 you really have to dig in. So this prophecy points 415 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,799 to the rise and conquest of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of 416 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,480 history's most infamous figures. He sees power in France not 417 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,279 long after the French Revolution, with dreams of building an empire. 418 00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:26,480 His forces tore across Europe and brought the Holy Roman 419 00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:30,079 Empire to its knees. His story doesn't end with victory, 420 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:33,319 but rather exile, so he was actually exiled twice from 421 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:37,599 his country and eventually died in near isolation. However, his 422 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,519 rise to power came as a shock. No one saw 423 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:44,319 it coming except no Stra Damis. Of course, so pa 424 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,599 Ney and Lauren all refer to cities in France, although 425 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,680 the third city is actually oh Lauren. 426 00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:52,839 Speaker 2: But also no Damas was. 427 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: A huge fan of anagrams, so he left the oh 428 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,759 of oh Lauren off because if you re arranged the 429 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,799 letters of the three cities, they actually spell out Roy Napolouon, 430 00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:09,440 which is similar to the French Roy Napoleon or King Napoleon. 431 00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:14,759 The reference to more fire than blood isn't referring to bloodshed, 432 00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:18,799 but rather taking the throne by force rather than having 433 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,200 like royal blood to take over the throne. In eighteen 434 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,680 twenty two, a man named Louis Pastor was born. He 435 00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:30,319 is often referred to as the father of microbiology. We 436 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000 talked about Louis in the Raw Milk episode because he 437 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:38,279 created the pastorization process. Granted, his process was for wine 438 00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:41,680 and not milk, which makes sense because he's from France. 439 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,720 He was actually mentioned by name in Nosra Damis's prophecy 440 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,960 quote the lost thing is discovered. Hidden for many centuries, 441 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,119 Pasture will be celebrated almost as a godlike figure. This 442 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,279 is when the moon completes her great cycle, but by 443 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,519 other rumors, he shall be dishonored end quote. Outside of 444 00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:08,920 discovering pastorization, he also discovered that it's actually the growth 445 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,319 of micro organisms that cause fermentation, which shifted how scientists 446 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,839 thought about bacteria because before this discovery, they kind of 447 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,599 thought that fermentation occurred spontaneously, and fermentation is also a 448 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,119 very key process in winemaking. His work paved the way 449 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,119 for vaccines, specifically for the treatment of rabies and anthrax, 450 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,519 and in fact, he gave the first rabies inoculation to 451 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,640 a nine year old boy who was bitten by a 452 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,160 rabbit dog and the boy made. 453 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: A full recovery. 454 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,759 Speaker 1: Prior to that, the boy probably would have died. The 455 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:46,480 last line quote but by other rumors, he shall be dishonored, 456 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,160 is actually referring to a book written in nineteen ninety 457 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,400 five about Louis that revealed that he secretly included a 458 00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:55,839 rivals finding in his version of the anthrax vaccine to 459 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,920 make it work, meaning he didn't discover it one hundred 460 00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:06,000 sent alone. He also never credited the other scientists. After Pastor, 461 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,359 who was honestly just like a really well educated whino, 462 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,680 came the prophecies of the rise of Adolph Hitler and 463 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,680 the Nazi Party, no Stradamas had written quote from the 464 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,160 depths of the West of Europe. A young child will 465 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,720 be born of poor people, he who by his tongue 466 00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:26,400 will seduce a great troop. His fame will increase towards 467 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,880 the realm of the east end quote. Hitler had been 468 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,559 born to poor parents in eighteen eighty nine in Western Europe. 469 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,480 He also had away with his words. He knew how 470 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,839 to sway people with them, which gained him immeasurable power 471 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,720 and helped him establish the Third Reich. This also allowed 472 00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:45,680 him to not have to fight his way to the 473 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,000 top the way Napoleon had done. He actually lost the 474 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:51,680 election to be president in nineteen thirty two, but was 475 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,640 appointed Chancellor in nineteen thirty three after conservative elites pressured 476 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,240 President Paul Vaughan Hindenberg. The elites and industrialists believe needs 477 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,079 that they could actually control Hitler, which obviously wasn't true. 478 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: Later on, he then. 479 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,279 Speaker 1: Dismantled democracy and sees dictatorial power. The last stands like quote. 480 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,000 His fame will increase towards the realm of the east 481 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,960 end quote refers to Hitler's alliance with Japan and yes, 482 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,200 no stra Damis wrote of Hitler's rise to power, but 483 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,480 he also wrote about the end of the war. He 484 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:25,359 actually wrote quite a few qua trains about World War two, 485 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,799 and we're going to get into a lot of them. 486 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:31,279 He had written, quote, beasts ferocious with hunger will cross 487 00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:34,319 the rivers. The great part of the battlefield will be 488 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,720 against Hister into a cage of iron. Will the great 489 00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:42,400 one be drawn when the child of Germany observes nothing? 490 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,079 Speaker 2: End quote here. 491 00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: It's believed by some that the word hisster actually refers 492 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,799 to Hitler, but it's just like misspelled. But Hister also 493 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:55,720 could be referring to the name of a river, because 494 00:28:55,759 --> 00:29:00,160 it's actually the Latin name for the Danube River, which 495 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,079 is the second longest river in Europe. This river flows 496 00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,279 through much of central and southeastern Europe from the Black 497 00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:10,240 Forest in Germany to the Black Sea. It flows through 498 00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:17,319 or borders parts of Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, 499 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,599 Moldava and Ukraine, many of which were occupied by Germany 500 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,440 during World War Two. At the end of World War II, 501 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,119 the Iron Curtain, which was a political, military, and ideological 502 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,079 Barrier divided Europe into two opposing blocks. This barrier was 503 00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:37,279 erected by the Soviet Union to seal itself and its 504 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:41,480 dependence off from non communist countries. But there's also the 505 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,599 Berlin Wall, which was constructed in nineteen sixty one, encircling 506 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:49,079 West Berlin and separating it from East Berlin and East Germany. 507 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,880 The idea of this was to prevent East Germans from 508 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,559 fleeing to the West and symbolize the ideological divide of 509 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,319 the Cold War. This could be what no Stradamis meant 510 00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:00,880 when he wrote quote when the ch child of Germany 511 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,559 observes nothing end quote, because East Germans couldn't leave, so 512 00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:07,440 they couldn't observe the world outside of their bubble, so 513 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,720 to speak. But wait, there's more. At least one more 514 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,839 prophecy was written. 515 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:13,359 Speaker 2: About World War Two. 516 00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:16,799 Speaker 1: Quote the heavenly dart will stretch its course death in 517 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,640 the speaking a great achievement, the proud nation brought low 518 00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:25,240 by the stone in the tree, rumors of a monstrous 519 00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:30,720 human bring purge and expiation end quote. It's believed that 520 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,480 this prophecy was telling of the bombs being dropped on 521 00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:37,799 Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombs were dart shaped and came 522 00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:41,000 from the sky, so like a heavenly dart. Although these 523 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,440 bombs devastated Japan, they were hailed by many in the 524 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,519 scientific community as great achievements, which hits the second line. 525 00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:50,279 Speaker 2: Japan was a proud. 526 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: Nation that was brought low by these bombs, leading them 527 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,759 to surrender only a week. 528 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,799 Speaker 2: After the bombs were dropped. 529 00:30:57,559 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: That was after the Soviets broke the Soviet Jabanese neutrality 530 00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:03,759 packed and declared war on Japan. So maybe that's what 531 00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:06,880 they meant in the last line by rumors of the 532 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,000 monstrous human bring purge, then expiation, because expiation actually means quote, 533 00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:15,640 the actor process of making atonement for something. So after 534 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,240 the defeat of Japan, the Allies helped the nation to rebuild. 535 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,759 Not only that, but on Miriam Webster dot com, where 536 00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:25,200 I got the definition of the word, they use the 537 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:29,599 example public expiation in the case of interment of Japanese 538 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,799 Americans from the West Coast would be good for the 539 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,799 court and for the country, And I just thought that 540 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,440 was like a really interesting example that that's what they used. 541 00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:42,400 And in this prophecy, we're talking about the expiation of 542 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,119 the Japanese. Potentially, there is another quatrain that also seems 543 00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:49,240 to point to the dropping of the bombs. He wrote, 544 00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:52,000 quote near the gates and within two cities, there will 545 00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:55,720 be scourges the like of which was never seen, famine 546 00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:59,720 within plague, people put out by steel, crying to the 547 00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:03,599 Grit immortal God for relief. This seems to fit a 548 00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:05,720 little bit more about the dropping of the bombs and 549 00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:08,359 less about the end of the war. They dropped the 550 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,279 bombs on two cities, and the devastation was something that 551 00:32:11,319 --> 00:32:14,759 had never been seen before because bombs like this had 552 00:32:14,839 --> 00:32:18,400 never been used. The radiation from the bombs was the 553 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,640 plague in the area, and most of the food grown 554 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,440 would not be safe to eat because of the radiation, 555 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,279 so there would be famine within the plague. He predicted 556 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,839 the rise of Charles de Gaul to presidency as well. So. 557 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,640 Charles de Gaul was a French general and statesman who 558 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,920 led the Free French forces against Nazi Germany. He chaired 559 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,359 the Provisional Government of the French Republic from nineteen forty 560 00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:48,519 four to nineteen forty six to restore democracy to France 561 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,960 after the coup of thirteen May. He was asked to 562 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000 come out of retirement by the president at the time 563 00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:58,359 and was appointed Prime Minister. Then later he was elected 564 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,400 President of France and held that position until he resigned 565 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,599 in nineteen sixty nine. No Stra Damis had written, quote 566 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,480 Hercules become king of Rome and of ann Mark, a 567 00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:13,839 man named gaul is a three time leader Italy, and 568 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,200 the waters of Venice will tremble. He will be renowned 569 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,559 above all monarchs. 570 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,319 Speaker 2: End quote. 571 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: So he actually led forces in World War Two against 572 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,680 Italian forces loyal to Nazi Germany, and he was a 573 00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:30,359 leader three different times. He also undertook the first presidency 574 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,119 of the French Fifth Republic, which is the republican system 575 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,519 that he helped to establish in France. The next prophecy 576 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,319 that came true was the assassination of President John F. 577 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,759 Kennedy on November twenty second, nineteen sixty three. The president 578 00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:46,119 was shot and killed while in the backseat of an 579 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,079 open top limousine in Dallas, Texas. The official narrative is 580 00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:53,039 that Lee Harvey Oswald did this on his own, but 581 00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:56,799 no Stra Damis's prophecy tells a different story and backs 582 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,920 up the conspiracy. Theorists quote an ai ancient task will 583 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,960 be completed. From on high, evil will fall on the 584 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,239 great man. A dead innocent will be accused of the deed. 585 00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:12,320 The guilty one will remain in the mist. From on 586 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,000 high meaning people above the president. So maybe like a 587 00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:17,599 secret society, and evil will fall on a great man 588 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,159 JFK being the great man. This could also be a 589 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,880 nod to them shooting him from above him, like shooting 590 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,000 at a downward angle, although that seems less likely. The 591 00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:31,480 dead innocent will be accused of the deed, implying that 592 00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:34,440 it was always the plan to blame Lee Harvey Oswald 593 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,639 and for Jack Ruby to kill Oswald, or for somebody 594 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,440 to kill Oswald. The guilty one will remain in the mist, 595 00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:45,039 meaning that they got away with killing JFK. The guilty 596 00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:48,159 got away because they put it all on Oswald, who 597 00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:51,559 is not around to defend himself, even though before he 598 00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,280 was shot by Ruby he claimed to be a patsy 599 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,440 for the crime. No Sjamas had made predictions about the 600 00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:01,079 lunar landings. Although interest in the sky, as it seems 601 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,119 every generation since the beginning, is they weren't going to 602 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,639 space in sixteenth century. 603 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: At the time of no Sadamis and. 604 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: Yet he wrote, quote, he will come to travel to 605 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000 the corner of Luna, where he will be captured and 606 00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:19,079 put in strange land in quote. Many people think this 607 00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:22,000 is about Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the Moon, but 608 00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:25,800 to me it also sounds like maybe finding something on 609 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,000 the Moon, or like an alien abduction. I don't know 610 00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:31,519 for sure. But that wasn't the only prediction he made 611 00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:35,679 about space. He also predicted the Challenger disaster. Nine will 612 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,559 be set apart from the human flock, separated from Judgment 613 00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:44,119 and Council, their fate to be determined on departure line. 614 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,800 Unripe fruit will be the source of great scandal, great 615 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,679 blame to the other, great praise end quote. The Challenger 616 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,440 carried only seven astronauts, not nine, but it did explode 617 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,719 shortly after taking off, and there was a huge scandal 618 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,880 after this exploded with military contractors and the firms that 619 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,719 actually built the shuttle components. So this one seems pretty 620 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,039 dead on to me. On September eleventh, two thousand and one, 621 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:13,760 the deadliest terrorist attack the US has suffered occurred when 622 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,199 two planes struck the World Trade Center in New York City. 623 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,559 Nostra damis prophesied quote the sky will burn. At forty 624 00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:24,679 five degrees, fire approaches the Great New City. By fire, 625 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,840 he will destroy their city, a cold and cruel heart, 626 00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:29,920 blood will poor, Mercy to none. 627 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,079 Speaker 2: End Quote. 628 00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: New York City is very close to the forty fifth latitude, 629 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,800 and they were the highest skyscrapers in the world at 630 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,880 the time of their completion in nineteen seventy three, which 631 00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:45,039 lends to the sky will burn. The Great New City 632 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,719 nods to this happening in New York City, which a 633 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,400 lot of people would consider as a great city, like 634 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:56,039 great being big. Also, its name is literally New York City, 635 00:36:56,559 --> 00:36:59,599 the cold and cruel heart meaning whoever orchestrated the attack, 636 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,360 so mercy to none, and blood will poor. Talking about 637 00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:06,880 the almost three thousand people that died that day because 638 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,440 of the terrorists or whoever you believe orchestrated these attacks. 639 00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:16,880 But what I find interesting is it says quote by fire, 640 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,960 he will destroy their city. It just makes me wonder 641 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,960 who he is. Some of the predictions he wrote could 642 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,199 refer to several different historical events. Quote twice put up 643 00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,440 and twice cast down. The East will also weaken the West. 644 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:35,119 It's adversary after several battles chased by sea will fail 645 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,239 at a time of need. 646 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,599 Speaker 2: End quote. 647 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,599 Speaker 1: The twice put up, twice cast down is talking about 648 00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:43,079 the alliances that were put together in each war. Or 649 00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:47,199 maybe like political ideology, the East will also weaken the 650 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,840 West leads us to believe that the West has weakened 651 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,480 the East because of the word also the East will 652 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:58,639 also weaken the West. But this isn't necessarily talking about 653 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,960 countries necessarily, like maybe it's more like Eastern powers undermining 654 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,920 Western dominance or ideological parties at play. It could be 655 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,039 so many different things, and the chase by the sea 656 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,480 will fail at time of need. Could be a reference 657 00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:17,639 to trade or supply lines. 658 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 2: Or naval defeat. 659 00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: So this quatrain could refer to a number of different things. 660 00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:25,880 So could refer to the Roman Empire, like the Eastern 661 00:38:26,039 --> 00:38:30,880 versus Western Rome, the Ottoman European power struggle, the British 662 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:36,360 empires decline, the Cold War, or most commonly assumed is 663 00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:40,639 it's referring to both world wars. But I'm not sure 664 00:38:40,639 --> 00:38:43,199 if it matters for a specific event, because it could 665 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,400 just be prophesying that history tends to repeat itself. Now, 666 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,239 there are a lot of prophecies people say no, Stradana's 667 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,400 got wrong, but maybe because of the cryptic wording, we 668 00:38:53,519 --> 00:38:57,280 just don't know exactly what they point to. There are 669 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,159 so many quatrains that could be true for many different 670 00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:06,920 events in history, but they're also very vaguely worded. Nostradamis 671 00:39:07,039 --> 00:39:09,880 defended this tactic because he didn't want people to mess 672 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,480 with the future, but also he didn't want to be 673 00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:15,679 persecuted through the church, so he was like. 674 00:39:17,039 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna write this. 675 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna write it really cryptically, really vague. It doesn't 676 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,199 mean anything. We don't tend to connect the dots until 677 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,760 after the events happen. But again, this is because of 678 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,679 the cryptic and vague verbiage. He wasn't trying to warn 679 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,559 humanity of these prophecies. He was just trying to document 680 00:39:34,599 --> 00:39:37,880 the inevitable. He didn't want anybody to do anything about it. 681 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,280 He just wanted it to be documented that way. Hindsight, 682 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,840 we're like, oh, yeah, there it is. 683 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 2: We were going to do this. We were going to 684 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,000 drop these. 685 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,119 Speaker 1: Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I do find it interesting 686 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,800 that many of the conspiracy theories that we've actually talked 687 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,760 about on this show, and that are just like out 688 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,480 there in the world also have a prophecy written about 689 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,960 them by no stra damas like that's very I don't 690 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,679 really know why that is, but I'd be interested to 691 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,880 know if the other prophecies that we talked about today 692 00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:09,840 also have conspiracies surrounding them, like if I dug into 693 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,039 each of them, like King Philip from Spain, is there 694 00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:19,159 a conspiracy surrounding his life? I don't know, but it 695 00:40:19,159 --> 00:40:21,960 doesn't make you wonder why or how he got these 696 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,760 prophecies because he was obviously scared of the Church executing 697 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,280 him for this almanac and his prophecy book, because they 698 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,599 were executing other astrologers. Yet he survived and actually he thrived. 699 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,360 He became very popular, like Royalty was seeking him out 700 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,920 to be their doctors and to predict things for them, 701 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,599 which is also interesting because it wasn't like he was 702 00:40:46,639 --> 00:40:50,159 a qualified doctor, like they could have gotten any doctor 703 00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:53,880 that wasn't an apothecary, especially because he literally got kicked 704 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,880 out of the school when the university found out that 705 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,119 he had been an apothecary leading up to his schooling. 706 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,400 So those guys weren't thought highly of and Royalty could 707 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,039 have afforded the doctors. That's what they were for. Really, 708 00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:09,320 so was royalty protecting him and that's why he didn't 709 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,360 get persecuted by the church. 710 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,599 Speaker 2: But what if he. 711 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:16,599 Speaker 1: Wasn't suppressed because they knew how he was getting his information. 712 00:41:17,519 --> 00:41:20,000 It seems like he wasn't merely guessing the future, but 713 00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:23,159 rather he had access to what the future held. So 714 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,199 time isn't a linear thing. A lot of people do 715 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,880 believe it is, but every time we get into something 716 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,639 like this, it's proven again that it isn't. It's simply 717 00:41:33,039 --> 00:41:38,760 a construct. So that means that prophecy isn't magic, it's perception. 718 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,519 Like he may have entered an altered state using meditation, 719 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,599 and maybe he was like remote viewing the way he 720 00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:49,199 wrote the predictions. Also like almost seems like when you 721 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,639 have dejevu, or at least like how I have dejevu. 722 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,039 So I see these events unfolding, but I don't really 723 00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:56,920 have a full picture of what's going on, and I 724 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,679 see like a little boy potentially right, and then later on, 725 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,719 when this is actually happening, I come to realize, like 726 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,559 that little boy was my son, and I just didn't 727 00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:10,639 recognize him in this deja vous dream that I'm having. 728 00:42:11,199 --> 00:42:12,960 So if that's what he was doing, and maybe he 729 00:42:13,039 --> 00:42:15,679 just got dejevu a whole lot, then this kind of 730 00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:18,119 makes more sense that he would write it in such 731 00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:20,559 a way that he didn't really know what was happening. 732 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,199 But also maybe the elites then were like the elites 733 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,039 now and we're also practicing occult magic in secret, so 734 00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:30,159 like they knew exactly what he was doing, and they 735 00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:32,760 were like, he's got it. We're just gonna listen to 736 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,320 him because whatever satanic weird things going on, this guy 737 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,239 seems to have it. But like we always point to 738 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,639 the Satanic here, but there are plenty of prophets in 739 00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:47,000 the Bible. Could he have been prophesying something that God 740 00:42:47,199 --> 00:42:48,519 had given him, Like. 741 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,519 Speaker 2: Why does it have to be the occult? 742 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: And I think that people lean towards that more because 743 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,599 they're like, this is just too weird. People in that 744 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,599 time didn't have obviously they didn't have visions like this, 745 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,599 but the church didn't persecute him. The church let him 746 00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:06,840 keep doing it. So that kind of makes me think 747 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,519 that maybe the church knew that it was God giving 748 00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:15,480 him these words, these prophecies, these thoughts, these visions, it's 749 00:43:15,519 --> 00:43:16,639 not completely unheard of. 750 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,679 Speaker 2: We have the entire Bible to show us that. So 751 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,599 could it have been the occult? Absolutely? Could it have 752 00:43:23,639 --> 00:43:27,800 been God? Absolutely? Do we know? Absolutely not, We don't know. 753 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,679 Speaker 1: There are others that think his predictions were just really 754 00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:33,639 good guesses. They say this because they seem to have 755 00:43:33,679 --> 00:43:38,079 a pattern. A system rises, it centralizes power, it over extends, 756 00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:42,599 it collapses through crisis, and then a new order replaces it, which, yes, 757 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,679 we do tend to see this in history. But he 758 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,639 did include a few names and dates that are more 759 00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:52,199 than just guesses, Like in the London Fire, the quatrain 760 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,719 literally says, quote burnt up in the fire of sixty six. Now, 761 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,840 that could have been any century, but with hindsight we 762 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:03,239 know that the Great London Fire happened in sixteen sixty six, 763 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,480 So that's like way too spot on to be a coincidence. 764 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,519 And also he had mentioned a couple names, granted they 765 00:44:09,519 --> 00:44:12,360 were last names, Like it wasn't like he was saying 766 00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:15,360 King Philip the second of Spain is gonna lose all 767 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,679 of his fortune, right Like he would say things in 768 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,400 a cryptic way, but he would still give names every 769 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,679 now and then. That's just way too particular to be 770 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,400 a coincidence, And maybe you could argue that it all 771 00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:30,280 was just a coincidence if he hadn't gotten so many rights. 772 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,239 I mean, we just talked about fifteen different predictions here 773 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,719 that seemed to be pretty spot on, and who knows 774 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,239 how many other predictions he got right, But we just 775 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,840 haven't figured it out yet because of the translations and 776 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,400 because of the weird verbiage. Like I said, he wasn't 777 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,920 trying to warn humanity these predictions. He was just documenting 778 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,440 what was gonna happen. So what do you think about 779 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,559 these predictions? Were they just good guesses? Did he see 780 00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:59,559 the future? Was it the occult? Was it biblical? I'd 781 00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:03,280 love to know. Leave your comments, guys until next week, 782 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,880 Stay skeptical and I will see you all then.
