Synopsis

The ability to see into the future and to accurately predict events has fascinated and yet frightened man for thousands of years. As far back as 4000 BC, the Sumerians consulted sages who would pronounce on important matters and advise on courses of action.
In this riveting account, the predictions of the most famous sages and seers from the dawn of civilisation are looked at in detail. One of the best known of these visionaries was Nostradamus, and indeed his prophecies, in the form of the original cantos, are analysed in this book.Discover the prophecies that predicted:- The French Revolution- Pearl Harbor- 9/11- The Iraq War
Nostradamus and Other Prophets and Seers examines the role of astrology, alchemy, and arcane knowledge in prophecy. It tries to answer that age-old question of whether there is such a thing as 'secret knowledge', and whether it is possible for mere mortals to access it.
