Lemesurier concludes, "Of New York or the 9/11 tragedy he is clearly saying nothing."ĭespite his legions of followers, a close analysis of Nostradmus's writings reveals that he did not make predictions (statements that come true after you read them) instead he makes post-dictions (statements that appear to come true only after the events happen). There are plenty of fake Nostradamus prophecies about 9/11 what about any real ones? As Nostradamus scholar Peter Lemesurier notes in his book "Nostradamus, Bibliomancer: The Man, The Myth, The Truth" (2010, New Page), one quatrain (I.87) can be translated as, "Earth-shaking flames from the world's center roar / And make the earth around a 'New City' quiver." Ĭould the "earth-shaking flames" be the explosions from the Twin Towers? And might the "New City" mean New York? If you know nothing about Nostradamus it might seem plausible, but Lemesurier points out that the original phrase Nostradamus used for "New City," "cite neufve" "is much more likely to mean a town whose name means precisely that in Greek or Latin than merely any old city with 'new' in its name such as New York or New Orleans." Furthermore Nostradamus explicitly states that the "earth-shaking flames" will not be from the sky but instead "from the world's center" (i.e., likely lava from a volcanic eruption). What began as an essentially skeptical piece explaining how prophecy can fool people eventually circulated as the real thing. This was actually published on a Canadian website as part of an essay on how easily an important-sounding prophecy can be created using vague imagery. Given the fact that Nostradmaus died in 1566, 88 years before the quatrain was supposedly written, it seems a remarkable piece indeed. Another suspect quatrain that surfaced after 9/11 reads: "In the city of God there will be a great thunder? / Two brothers torn apart by Chaos while the fortress endures? / The great leader will succumb / The third big war will begin when the big city is burning?- Nostradamus 1654."
