The History Channel will broadcast a new documentary about a 500 year old prophet and a new book unearthed from him that was never known to exist.
The television show highlighting the work of the Middle Ages prognosticator Nostradamus, will air this Sunday, October 28, at 8PM ET on The History Channel. Check your local listings for any changes to the schedule.
What will make this documentary different from all those that have preceeded it is the new material recently uncovered that was supposedly penned by the famous prophet. The two-hour show makes claim that a “Lost Book of Nostradamus” has been discovered and sets out to reveal its secrets declaring that Nostradamus saved his best and most horrific prophecies for last in this tome. This picture-book styled entry proposes to predict two towers on fire, a supposed reference to the World Trade Center, the Pope fighting a bear, the channel claiming this is pointing to the end of the Cold War and the most startling revelation is the prophet’s precise dating for when the End of the World will occur. All we will say here is it’s suppose to take place sometime before 2013.
While we don’t give a lot of credence to this, or any of the old prophet’s predictions, as they are so subject to one’s private interpretation, the show will be fun to watch and for the true believer, a must see TV moment.
Michael Natale says
I’m sure its meant to be symbolic, but I’d pay good money to see the Pope fight a bear.
Amiel de Guzman says
At this day and age, I can’t believe society would allow non preparedness for disasters. Why doesn’t anybody stop whoever is driving this society to do things a better way? It’s seems like the attitude of strap on your seat belt and brace yourself for anything that will come your way. Many disasters in history already happened. Why are we still doing the same thing as before. Where are the groups of people who believe in righteousness? I for one believe deeply that God is the true ruler of the whole universe. And Jesus Christ is the Messiah. We seemed to have forgotten that the Bible has writings of the beginings of our history. So, I will go home each evening from work, pray to God, and brace myself from what is to come again, another disaster. Symbolicly, the bear is not an animal it’s a sectarian group religious or not. Corporate America and Government around the world should be quick to react for preparedness and togetherness. These disasters are not based on Mother Nature’s wrath, they are the result of prevalence of evil hiding in today’s society.
The bear has not a chance against modern day mortal man, as the Pope would bring an RPG for the fight.
Curt Hawley says
I have seen this show. First, the show builds up repeatedly throughout, the credibility of Nostradamus due to his accuracy over time. The show goes back and forth talking about his well know predictions, then teasing the predictions of this book increasingly until you get to the end. Essentially, the origin of the book is dubious.
Most irritating is that while they have many Nostradamus interpreters and experts on the show, the History Channel intersplices NUMEROUS images of THEIR OWN (like casting Osama Bin Laden as the Anti-Christ). I found this material to be part of the WAR PROPAGANDA PSY-OP Machine!
The Bible Clearly talks about the Anti-Christ as coming in the name of PEACE, it is supposed to be a person people TRUST. Who trusted Bin Laden? Also the experts talk about Nostraadamus’ 3 Antichrists” Napoleon(Dictator), Hitler(Dictator) and then…. (Bin Laden?? how absurd!!). If anything Bush fits the description better than anyone on the planet, but somehow the History Channel can’t seem to say that… nor allow any expert that would say it.
Ok, then there is this end of the “world” thing.
Well first of all Nostradamus prophecies go well past the year 3000… so the end of the world in 2012 (an election year!) is not an end of humanity. But the History channel does not point that glaring disparity out.
Instead, one of the experts explains from a single page of the “book” of illustrations his interpretation that involves the 13th Zodiac sign (yes this is well known) and the alignment of the Sun with the Center of the center of teh galaxy. Interestingly enough this is identical to the Mayan Calendar prediction. So did this “expert” see the parallel or did he create the parallel? Because later in the show, he makes a comment about the Mayan Calendar pointing to the same time. (Though the Mayan Calendar is more exact to the day December 21, 2012). His interpretation of the watercolor is highly subjective.
The History Channel basically uses the show to hype FEAR, and push the WAR on Terror, etc… The show is basically horrible from a documentary or scientific point of view.
Essentially, Propaganda – Psy-op crap!
Paul says
What a pile that was last night. I don’t believe in, well anything, except that maybe TV should try to be good, maybe channels like Discovery and History could do with less of this para/guillible mid-america undereducated psudeo-scientific crap.
BUT To string so little out for two hours, including so much 9-11, terrorist and fear it could have been on Fox News or paid for by a number of political campaigns. Add on the fact Nostradamus may have had nothing to do with the book… and not have one skeptic speaking to any of this. History Channel should be ashamed.
Sam says
I say Amen to comments from Paul and Curt. What a load of hyped-crap this turned out to be. Again, as stated above — Bin Laden as the Anti-Christ — Pleassssse!
Also, 2012 is an important year in the Mayan Calendar, as it is in Edgar Cayce’s so-called trance visions. It is supposed to be the year that the poles reverse their axis (which has known to have occurred on at least 3 different ocassions in Earth’s 4 billion year history), and whether or not this will again occur in 2012 is, of course, yet to be seen. I see it all nothing more than another big Y2K scare that will make nobody but the survival companies rich.
And, if I’m wrong, then it won’t much matter anyway as only a few out of the 6 billion humans will survive to carry on.
Menace Mayhem says
I loved the show! And for sam and the others, I would not need to waist money for wepons when my skills lill allow me to take what I waunt from idiots like u when all this comes a slap in your face.
I do believe something will happen but why worrie? Can anyone really do anything about it or as always ,why bother unless u can get something for nothing!
Todd Laurence says
This new article explains the Nostradamus Code, and
comes with a university verification of the experiences
reported.
No author ever noticed Nostradamus’ mentioning the
Chaldean Alphabet, and without it, no accurate judgment
can be made….

I am with Curt, Paul and Sam. A lot of speculation about speculations. Fluf.
The more TV channels to chose from, the fewer shows worth watching.
In Star Trek The Next Generation episode 126 the android Data states that the TV “has become obsolete in the year 2040”.
Given the quality of programs like this, we now know why.
Ambrose says
First of all, if you could ever compare anyone to the antichrist yes, it would be Osama Bin Laden. This creature deceives his followers by making them believe he is a peaceful man. This is far from the truth. President Bush has been doing everything in his power to go after those who wish to spread terror. It is the sit-in “hippie” congress that will not let him perform his duties as chief commander. Our president also has the fear of running his own people out of the country because main stream media would spin anything he were to do without consulting the so called united nations. Tell me why our congress has only an 11% approval rating since the dems took control.
This is not an attack on you personally but your ridiculous idea of antiwar belief system. If you trust Osama Bin Laden or those who agree with his ideology, then by all means… move there. You will see how much you will miss the protection and freedom upheld for you by our president.
With all said, I would like to make one simple point… Nost may not be one hundred percent accurate but I do believe fall of man shall soon come. The more we turn away from God, (i.e. Cabalism, Islam and the many other false religions) the more power we give to the antichrist, whoever he may be. I am a strong Christian with a firm trust in Christ. As you should know (if you follow the Bible) there have been many profits. Who’s to say that Nost wasn’t the profit of his time? Obviously he was a religious decent person. Maybe there are others to this day, which the “well educated” people write off as loonies? Personally I think the History channel may have opened a door for a more broadened perspective of how we should be living and what to watch out for in the future. Maybe it was divinity that enticed the History Channel to promote this documentary??
As for those who believe that this doc. was conservative propaganda, I have to sincerely disagree based on these simple facts alone. The History Channel is by far one of the most liberal media outlets. I’m quite sure the Republicans did not conspire to have this doc. written… This is the same channel that ran the doc. Blood for Oil, and many of Michael Moore’s liberal propaganda. Not to mention I’m sure they took into consideration that people like you would make the comments you made. It’s certainly not mainstream. I think you should re evaluate what you posted and consider opening your mind for once.

It is an interesting error Ambrose makes in mistaking profit (to make
money on an investment, for prophet (a seer of the future). No doubt
Nostredamus made a profit as well as a prophet. He didn’t make
it to Cardinal or Count, but he did make profit. Even today pundits
give their ideas the right spin in order to make profit. They’re
not praying for prophet. They’re preying for profit.
arnold says
It seems like Ambrose would turn which ever way is suitable. Are you kidding me with your firm trust in Christ, you should know then that the bible states that no man shall know the time of the END. Oh wait a minute Nostradamus has that info. please
Sam says
I do know the exact date of the end of all things…..but the Great Pumpkin and Mr. Snuggles have sworn me to secrecy…..so sorry!
ray says
oh boy, I’ve seen this show on the History channel, or should I call it the (NEO CONS) channel, this show is nothing but a propaganda for war , this book is a fake,even those who made this propaganda film said so.
Robin says
IF the end of the world is to come in 2012, what will each of us do to change this outcome? The power of one has the answer and must “affect” change in others in order to be the intervention of this prophecy. We all have the power within ourselves to evoke change…we all have the answer. If you feel it and think it, then please don’t end it there….talk about it to as many people who will listen with an open heart and an open mind. BUT, that is still not enough. WE need to change globally, and what better way to get the “word” out than through the internet. So, keep the discussions going, they will lead into action to change this prophecy…it’s not too late
Sean says
The History Channel is owned by A&E Television Networks, which is in turn owned jointly by ABC, The Hearst Corporation, and NBC Universal. Draw your own conclusions.
Even as propaganda, the “Lost Book” documentary was sub par.
Enfidel Inside says
ABC = Liberal channel
You just elected the third Anti-Christ.
Guillermo Gutierrez says
I enjoyed the lost book documentary and its gradual guide through ancient cultures then the startling comparisons with recent cataclisms . but just as i enjoyed the Orson Welles documentary of the 80’s. Surprisingly there was nothing about 2012 but rather about 1999 ‘s scary Nostradamus quatrain that states more or less that in 1999 there will be a war in process and the anticrist is a persian leather with a blue turbant that will start Armagedon . nobody seems to remember such quatrain anymore .I am a catholic and what i remember studying is that no one will know when the end willcome , just be aware that when certain events start happening be prepared and learn from it. many earth quakes, the acceptance of unatural behaviors as rightious like homosexuality,among other things the final judgement would be close.
