MARCA
Perhaps the name Michel de Notre-Dame is hardly known, but if we talk about Nostradamus, things change.
This 16th-century Frenchman is still relevant because of his prophecies and his accuracy regarding current events five centuries after he wrote them down.
The physician and pharmacist, who was born in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, once predicted the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte and the assassination of Henry IV, monarch of France.
More recently, the death of Elizabeth II was foretold by Nostradamus when he assured that a great world leader would die in 2022 or the war in Russia and Ukraine, with a premonitory phrase of what is happening in Eastern Europe: “Seven months of the great war, people dying for evil”.
Nostradamus predicted that there would be “a failure of light on Mars”
The succession of events that have come true, though not all of them, has reached the point of worrying major space agencies, including NASA.
The Frenchman said that this year there was going to be a “light failure on Mars”, a somewhat mysterious message, as is often the case with Nostradamus, but which is nonetheless disturbing. The soothsayer adds that “celestial fire will appear when the lights go out on Mars”.
One of the issues he may be referring to is the mission that the European Space Agency (ESA) has prepared, in which it will send a spacecraft with a rover to explore the neighbouring planet.
A failure in this multi-million dollar operation could be the outcome marked by Nostradamus a century ago.
For the coming months, some of the events that Nostradamus could predict are a Third World War in the wake of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, a new Pope to replace Francis, or a political crisis affecting the European Union.
