Nostradamus
Nostradamus was a 16th-century French astrologer, physician, and reputed seer, best known for his book "Les Propheties," published in 1555. This collection of poetic quatrains is thought to predict future events. Many people believe he foresaw major historical occurrences, though interpretations vary widely. Critics argue his writings are vague and can be retroactively matched to events. Nostradamus’s influence extends to popular culture, where he’s often cited in discussions about prophecies and forecasts. His legacy remains a mix of fascination and skepticism, embodying the intersection of history, mysticism, and literature.
