Look, believe what you want, but there are things his believers reckon Nostradamus got incredibly accurate.
And that means his warning for the end of this year is rather chilling.
I know, I know, the Frenchman has been dead for a little under five centuries, but his cryptic 1555 book, Les Prophéties, left plenty of wild claims about the future of the world.
The bloke has enough believers to this day that there are still copies of his books published, like the version Nostradamus for Dummies.

Some of us may argue it’s all a bit of a conspiracy theory, and his claims could literally be applied to most events in history. But there are a number of cases in particular where it really does seem like the astrologer got it right on the nose.

Predictions Nostradamus ‘got right’
There’s a whole load of moments throughout history that his believers reckon Nostradamus accurately predicted, particularly the Great Fire of London.
Part of his writing included ‘Burnt up in the fire of ‘66’ regarding the English capital and LADs, if you can remember from school, it was on 2 September 1666 when the fire began.

Then there’s the evil of Hitler and his rise to power, which Nostradamus is said to have foreseen centuries in advance.
He wrote of a young child ‘born of poor people’, with Hitler born to poor parents in 1889 in Western Europe (like he also wrote).
“He who by his tongue will seduce a great troop; His fame will increase towards the realm of the East,” Nostradamus’ prediction reads.
It was, of course, Hitler’s words and speeches that helped him rally power for the Nazis, and the writing adds: “The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister. Into a cage of iron will the great one be drawn.”
Some reckon this is a bit of a typo, but ‘Hister’ is also the old name for the Danube River, not too far from where the leader was born.

It’s also believed Nostradamus accurately predicted the French Revolution, Napoleon’s Conquest and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Another of his eerie predictions is widely linked to the 9/11 terror attacks, as he wrote: “The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city.”
Some interpret the 45 degrees to be a reference to either New York City’s (the ‘new city’) proximity to the 45th latitude, or that the burning buildings would fall and create a 45-degree angle.
However, the two towers did collapse onto themselves.
Nostradamus’ warning for the end of 2025
So, linked to the end of this year is his writing: “When Mars rules his path among the stars, human blood will sprinkle the sanctuary.

"Three fires rise from the Eastern sides, while the West loses its light in silence."
Basically, Mars is the Roman war god and linking that with ‘human blood’ being sprinkled, it could suggest further conflict.
Plus, 'three fires rise from the eastern sides' could be interpreted as new conflicts on the rise and 'the West loses its light in silence' is definitely not a positive-sounding prophecy.
