Nostradamus was the famous 16th century French astrologer and purported prophet, best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies). He is said to have written over a thousand predictions about the future, though many are considered to have a high degree of ambiguity. His predictions are often interpreted in the context of major political or natural events that have occurred in the hundreds of years since his death, providing some validation for his seemingly accurate predictions. He is still seen as an important figure in many parts of the world and his prophecies are still studied and discussed.
