The Prophecies of Nostradamus has remained one of the most read and spoken of the book throughout the history. It was first published in 1555 and became quite popular already during the life of Nostradamus as some of his prophesies came true. Mostly, Nostradamus's predictions were about general types of events, like natural disasters and conflict-related events that tend to occur regularly as time goes on. No wonder people believe that his prophecies have predicted actual events through centuries. From the death of Henry II, the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, the rise of Adolf Hitler, to the 9/11 attacks – all these events are believed to be foreseen by Nostradamus.
