He wrote in a pastiche of languages, like saying today “that fantastich sushi falafel was muy blasta!” so the first problem is determining the language he was writing in, and which version of that language. The astronomical inclusions help to determine certain eras, but remember that certain alignments repeat over centuries of time.

Beyond that, it’s obvious the author barely did any research, and I could have given you a better researched list from one of my high school essays in the 80s!

As for the rocks it symbolizes the middle east and the u.s because as we all know it did take a long time to end. And of course the predictions are going to be general he can’t pinpoint all the details because he is from a difffrent time he doesnt know exactly what everything is called or is in ours.

Oliver Cromwell). When Nostradamus speaks of a butcher he indicates one who is responsible for killing people (see the Dictionary of Medieval French (http://www.atilf.fr/dmf/) under “bouchier=butcher” : “Celui qui massacre des êtres humains; bourreau= he who massacres human beings; executioner). Cromwell was accused of butchery for his Irish campaign, having been called “the butcher of Drogheda and Wexford” (look at “Images of Oliver Cromwell: essays for and by Roger Howell, Jr – Page 200”). It could be said that Cromwell was of “obscure rank” if we consider that before him those who had his power in England were of kingly blood.The Catholic Nostradamus could have said that Cromwell was “without (the true) faith” since he was Protestant. He became Lord Protector, governing the British Empire, “through force”, having won the English Civil War (he will bleed the land) and condemned to death King Charles. The last line could be referred to the fact that Cromwell was born 41 years after the quatrain was published (a short period of time compared to the extention of the Prophecies, that is at least 687 years). It must also be remarked that Nostradamus used “Macellin” (butcher) in the first line; a reference to the Roman Emperor Macrinus, called Macellinus for his bloody habits (from Latin “macellum=shambles”). Cromwell and Macrinus were both accused of butchery, they were both military officers of low rank; they both obtained power after they ousted and killed the legitimate Emperor/King.There is also another curiosity: Elizabeth Bourchier was the wife of Cromwell. “Bourchier” is very close to “bouchier” (“butcher” in French). Sources: “Nostradamus The Truth” by David Roper; “Nostradamus ou l’Éclat des Empires” by Patrice Guinard.
