As we approach another new year, the chilling verses of the 16th-century French astrologer Michel de Nostredame, known globally as Nostradamus, are once again under the microscope. Many people think that his 1555 book Les Prophéties, which has 942 cryptic quatrains, correctly predicted the rise of Hitler, the Great Fire of London, and even the attacks on Sept. 11. After the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there has been a huge rise in the number of people who claim to have found hidden meanings in his stanzas.
