Dated Quatrains and Sestets of Nostradamus Decoded and Historical Events Identified
Not many people are aware that Nostradamus included stated future year dates in some of his Quatrains and Sestets.
Since the mid and late 1500s many scholars have been trying to unravel his words and match them to historical events, some with minor success, but mostly his stanzas remained a mystery - until now.
Herein, an examination of 160 lines of French text from 10 quatrains (40 lines) and 20 sestets (120 lines), translated into English, produced 347 descriptions of past & future (to Nostradamus) often dated main subjects, events, themes, and personages.
This was not an easy task as over 140 words did not immediately translate, leaving on average over five cryptic words per stanza. These were the special words Nostradamus employed to hide his messages about the future, not including the over 40 encoded stated year dates themselves.
Once put into readable English sentences, history books were perused and 27% of his descriptions were matched to general historical events and personages.
Nostradamus names Australian born researcher Ronald Pegg as né ron, piquet with 55% of the messages relating to Pegg's research project and associated other people.
12.6% of his descriptions relate to certain imagery from the 1995 French produced Ancient Civilizations of the Mediterranean Multimedia cd-rom, with 5.1% regarding the Office of Pope and the Catholic Church connections.
Nostradamus states that Ronald Pegg is the one to decode his French words, and makes clear statements about the what, why, and how Pegg's evidence negates the religious beliefs of the Christians and Mormons.
These declarations are why Nostradamus had to encode his messages and specifically leave 58 sestets hidden until after his death - or face heresy charges by the Church.
My translating/decoding methods produced concise positive outcomes, and as such may be of use to scholars investigating the other works of Nostradamus.
The new knowledge revealed in this paper will induce a whole new sphere of study and precipitate a change in thinking regarding Religion and its relevance in the 21st century.
