<<Nostradamus Quatrain Predicts Beginning of World War III
A Nostradamus prophecy about the fall of "two brothers" (referring to
the World Trade Center towers) fortells the imminent beginning
of "the third big war."
Status: False.
The "prophecy" was not penned by Nostradamus, but rather by a by
university student in Canada as an example of how vague imagery could
be worked into an ominous-sounding prediction. Our False Prediction
page tells the story.
