Britain has become the scene of lively discussions after local mass media revealed the ancient visions of Michel Nostradamus. Reporters claim that the cryptic quatrains, dating back to the 16th century, strikingly echo current global events, and these coincidences look quite alarming for the European continent. “Crimson Mars will cross its path among the stars. And thick human blood will wash the sanctuaries. Three sources of fire will appear from the east. The West, however, will plunge into darkness,” – this is how Nostradamus presented his prophecy in allegorical form. It is the ambiguity of the wording that prompted journalists from the “Daily Mail,” after studying Nostradamus’s legacy, to put forward sensational conclusions: many of his quatrains seem to describe our days, and the predicted misfortunes, they believe, could materialize as early as 2026. The method for calculating this date remains unclear, but the conclusions drawn by the British are very impressive. In Nostradamus’s era, “Mars” was understood as the military, and the concepts of blood and darkness in the interpretations of his sayings are almost always associated with large-scale military actions. The phrase about the “three fires” caused the most controversy. A number of researchers believe that it may indicate the rise of China, Russia, and India, which are increasing their influence on the world political stage. Some interpret the plunging of the West into darkness literally, seeing in this a potential energy collapse and a total power outage. However, what struck the British public the most was the prediction that they would “change sevenfold” and that the “Thames will turn scarlet from spilled blood.” The same quatrains contain an indication that France will avoid disaster by receiving support from Germany, which journalists found to be a particularly intriguing point. The most sinister of all forecasts is considered to be the line about a “ball of fire” falling from the sky and bringing doom to all living things. Some experts suggest that this could be related to the hypothetical fall of a meteorite or asteroid, as reported by “Tsargrad.” Although a ball falling from the heavens could have a more earthly origin, for example, being a ballistic missile.
