Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
"most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power!. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance"

Thats what Wiki says, and I would have to agree!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anytime "lost stuff" resurfaces in such a timely manner it's suspect!. If you want to know about enlightenment there's a little thing called a "web search"- you put the word "enlightenment" in the little box and press "search"!. Researching stuff, educating yourself and making your own mind up, continually and constantly, that is enlightened!.
As opposed to going the lazy way by trusting anyone's response that SEEMS to be right or plausible- that's being a "sheep" and gullible and opened to exploitation - that's the attitude that will be the death of Humankind!. Ignorance!.
( Ignorance is the attitude of not knowing and not wanting or caring to know/learn!. Innocence is the attitude of not knowing but being willing to learn!.)
Now, do you really think that fretting and not sleeping over the possibility of something that might happen in the future, over which you have no real control, will accomplish anything but deprive you of a good night's sleep!?
How about just enjoying your life today, conscious that today is all you really have!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The immortal Phineas T!. Barnum took the entire works of Nostradamus and distilled them into two simple sentences:
1!. There's a sucker born every minute!.
2!. Nobody ever lost a dime by underestimating the intelligence of the American people!. (Which also applies to non-Americans, I think!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

don't buy any of it!. there have been people throughout history who claim to be able to predict the future!. and there are many, many more who interpret actual events as proof of the accuracy of those wacky predictions!.

no-one can foresee the future and any event that happens is purely random!. anyone can foretell war, disaster, etc, etc because they just happen (no thanks to us humans)Www@QuestionHome@Com
