For centuries, the writings of Michel de Nostredame—better known as Nostradamus—have stirred fascination, debate, and speculation. His enigmatic quatrains, written in dense, symbolic language, have been interpreted, reinterpreted, and adapted to match world events long after his death.

Though scholars emphasize that Nostradamus never dated his work explicitly, the associations people draw reveal more about contemporary anxieties than about any literal prophecy. Still, these alleged predictions invite deeper reflection: what do they say, and how might they be read today?
