Thread: Nostradamus. Real or Fake?

He is quite convincing and the fact that he said a man named Hisler (Hitler) would rule Germany and then go and invade other countries is freaky. Apparently he also predicted WWIII to happen soon to. What do you think? Is he a phony?

Largely, I do not find him to be accurate. Predictions are vague and can be interpreted in many ways. Not to mention some of the interpretations from old French into English are not entirely accurate.

He made predictions, but they were so vague and broad that there was a pretty good chance he'd be correct.

Phony. I've looked at some of those quatrains. They're riddles and so general that they can be applied to just about anything in hindsight.
