what did nastradamus predict about the 9/11 attack?

Answer 1

This is info I found, not my written work.
The first foretold "a great thunder" in "the City of God":

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb",
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
- Nostradamus 1654

Let's interpret. Assuming "the City of God" is New York City, then the "two brothers torn apart by Chaos" must be the fallen towers of the Word Trade Center. The "fortress" is obviously the Pentagon, the "great leader" succumbing is the United States of America and "the third big war" can only mean World War III.

Spooky, right?

Wrong.

Let's apply a little intellectual honesty. What earthly (or unearthly) justification could there possibly be for characterizing New York City as "the City of God?" Why refer to the twin towers as "two brothers" when a far more apt word like "buildings" or "monuments" — or even, egad, "towers" — is at hand? Granted, "fortress" accurately describes the Pentagon, but by what stretch of the imagination could one assert that the United States "succumbed" to the 9/11 attacks?

Anyway, quibbling over words is futile, given that Nostradamus didn't even write the passage. He died in 1566, nearly a hundred years before the date of attribution. The quatrain in question is nowhere to be found in his entire published oeuvre. In a word, it's a hoax.

More precisely, its attribution to Nostradamus is a hoax. The passage was lifted intact from a Web page (since deleted from the hosting server due to overwhelming post-9/11 traffic) containing an essay written several years ago by college student Neil Marshall entitled "A Critical Analysis of Nostradamus." Marshall invented the quatrain to demonstrate — quite ironically, in light of its subsequent misuse — how a Nostradamus-like passage can be so cryptically composed as to lend itself to myriad interpretations.
Two metal birds would crash into two tall statues'
An interesting variant of the faux Nostradamus prophecy turned up in the soc.culture.palestine newsgroup on September 12 under the heading "They followed his prediction":
In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb'
'The third big war will begin when the big city is burning'
- Nostradamus 1654
...on the 11 day of the 9 month that...two metal birds would crash into two tall statues...in the new city..and the world will end soon after"

"From the book of Nostradamus"

Again, while the text boasts all the pomp and musty vagueness of Nostradamus' actual writings, it cannot be found in whole or in part anywhere in "The Centuries." This, too, is an Internet hoax, an elaboration on Neil Marshall's invented quatrain.
I hope this helps. I don't know if I totally agree, but this is what I found.

Answer 2

He didn't. That passage was not written by Nostradamus himself, but rather by someone else and attributed to him, or so I have heard.

But no matter what, it is all about how one interprets things. Ever since the first World Trade Center bombing, and later the destruction of the Alfred P. Murray federal building in Oklahoma City, I had a feeling that there would be a massive terrorist attack on American soil. I had no idea it would take place in such a fashion as what happened on 9/11, but I felt that something bad would occur within a few years.

Answer 3

He didnt predict anything. he just said some great disaster was gonna happen in the year 2000. I mean any body can say that. Write this down in history, PalmBeachNative says in 3000 we will experience a change. People below this out of proportion. notice no news headlines really gave it the time of day. Leave it up to the conspiracy theorists.

Answer 4

Really he didn't predict any of the attacks, people used several different quatrains of his to put it together. The reason I know is I know someone who has served in Iraq and when this started floating around the net they did some research and found that little tidbit out. I trust him more than anyone on TV or the net.

Answer 5

Most people would spell it "Nostradamus", not "nastradamus".

Most purported "Nostradamus predictions" that get into the popular consciousness are nothing of the sort, but rather urban myths that got attributed to him and then spread.

Answer 6

Most scholars will dismantle the credibilty of nostradamus' prophecies in minutes.

Dates dont match events,many of his predictions were pre existing historical events.Much of his writing was copied from others or invented sicne his death by others sensationalising his work.Books based on his astrological work sell much better when his predictions are manipulated to fit major events.

I dont know the exact meaning of crock because im english.But im sure I use it in context when i say the nostradamus prophecies are a "crock"!

Answer 7

No one can predict a man made event. Simply by 'predicting' something, and then making it universally accessible, you have sown the seed of an idea and effectively cheated.

I know, I've tried...

Answer 8

do not recognize who envisioned it, yet i did have a dream, and my desires continuously come genuine, about it happening, and then a month later it replaced into like i replaced into drowsing again or observing a movie for the second one time!! It replaced into loopy, i knew each call for call, which tower ought to fall first, etc. My mom actual replaced into frightened by technique of me!!

Answer 9

Absolutely nothing.

Answer 10

Nothing. Rubbish. Like all his "predictions" that were in no way better than the actual astrologer's
