The predictions of the French physician and seer Nostradamus have fascinated people for many centuries. Even in our time, the identity of this man, who predicted Napoleon, Hitler, and the Third World War, has not been revealed. All of his prophecies are encoded, and many people are working to decipher them. A portion of Nostradamus's manuscripts was destroyed by himself, though that is not typical of him. According to researchers, these priceless documents, given the Inquisition's keen interest in the scientist's investigations, were securely hidden.
