Early in 1994, I had not yet finally realized that all of
Nostradamus' poetry was enciphered, as I was still 'toying' with
the notion that Nostradamus might have used line-based cryptic
anagrams only exceptionally. My first discovery of ONE line-based
cryptic anagram had been made in October 1993, leading to the
temporary view that, perhaps, Nostradamus did use that device
sporadically, just as he had used countless other means to write
his obscure texts.
*
On Friday, May 6, 1994, an otherwise uneventful day triggered yet
another discovery of the meaning of a quatrain *as is*, no
anagrams, ma'am. That event? Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was
to visit France... by land. The very first British monarch ever
to do so.
*
Nostradamus' use of unique events, usually minor ones, to
announce a much more important future event was well known by
then. So it was not entirely surprizing to see, in the very text
of quatrain VII-16, the Queen's short trip to France on that day:
*
------------- C E N T V R I E___S E P T I E S M E. -----------
------------------ (édition de novembre 1557) ----------------
*
----------------------------- X V I --------------------------
--------- Entree profonde par la grand royne faicte, ---------
--------- Rendra le lieu puissant inaccessible: --------------
--------- L'armee des trois lyons sera deffaicte, ------------
--------- Faisant dedans cas hideux & terrible. --------------
*
Quite a vivid picture described here: First the great queen makes
a deep entrance; then this 'powerful location' can no longer be
accessed. Why? Because the British forces (the army of the three
lions) are beaten. By whom? By the IRA. What happens? Inside
(inside where? Inside the tunnel.) a hideous and terrible event
prevents anyone from entering (the Chunnel). What can possibly
prevent anyone from entering the Chunnel after this attack? A
thermonuclear device, detonated inside, inside the Chunnel.
*
Ever since Queen Elizabeth II entered France very deeply, on May
6, 1994, was it possible to understand this vague poem. The
insignificant event was the inauguration by the Queen and by
French President François Mitterrand, joined by some European
leaders invited for the occasion, of one of the most impressive
engineering feats of the 20th century: The construction of a
tunnel under the Channel, popularly named... the Chunnel!
*
Nostradamus was using that event for a purpose, of course. If the
first official trip was made by the British monarch, the original
text seemed to be hinting that the British army was to be
defeated as a result of something happening in that very powerful
location, making it no longer accessible.
*
When would that hideous and terrible event happen? The original
text does not say. What is the purpose of a prophecy which makes
it impossible to warn people of the major event it seems to be
speaking of?
*
Only later, much later, did I realize that this very poem would
yield a hidden text in prose confirming what already had been
suspected about the original text. But... would that hidden text
disclose WHEN that future event would happen? Only if there were
enough quatrains producing a flawless decipherment carrying a
correct date. Were there enough hidden texts in this case?
Unfortunately no. How do we know? Because 2007 has come and gone
and the Chunnel is still open.
*
And 2007 was supposed to be the year hidden in quatrain VII-16.
Its deciphered text follows:
*
--------- L'Irlande affrontera l'Angleterre dans le ----------
--------- Tunnel soubs la Mer rendu inaccessible, ------------
--------- car l'I.R.A. y a tiré en effect l'Atome de sa ------
--------- bien grande férocité de Deux Mil Sept. -------------
*
In approximate English, with asterisks indicating words no longer
used or spelled thus: 'Ireland shall face England in the Tunnel
*under* the Sea rendered inaccessible, as the I.R.A. did *indeed*
fire in it the Atom of its very great ferociousness of Two
Thousand and Seven.'
*
Obviously, line 4 had been incorrectly deciphered. But, with that
(as yet unknown incorrect) date in mind, I continued my
decipherment of Nostradamus' entire poetry, a job which ended in
October 1996. A few more quatrains were discovered to also speak
of this thermonuclear attack by the I.R.A. against the Chunnel.
*
Here they are:
*
-------------- C E N T V R I E___P R E M I E R E. ------------
----------------------- (édition de 1555) --------------------
*
---- 21 - Profonde argille blanche nourrir rochier, ----------

--------- Ignorants estre au fond terre argilleuse. ----------

--------- sans Partition soubz l'An Deux Mil Sept. -----------
*
Three more quatrains, with two more (incorrect) dates. Rather
than attempting to 'correct' the lines which are producing year
2007, I have listed these originally deciphered versions so as to
show which cryptic anagrams might still be valid, and which ones
are obviously defective, as they contain that incorrect date.
*
As I am neither seer nor prophet, I do not know if that event
shall eventually happen, or if if it has been discovered totally
in error while deciphering Nostradamus' poetry. All I can do
about it is to report what I have found, when I have found it,
and leave to the appreciation of my readers the authorship of
these deciphered texts.
*
Have a nice day, folks!
