The famous Nostradamus "Angolmois" prophecy that was scheduled to occur in July of 1999 may have actually come true! It was one of the most well known of all Nostradamus prophecies, and was also known as the "King of Terror" prophecy. This prophecy was unique from other Nostradamus prophecies, in that it gave an exact date for the prophecy's occurrence. That date was the seventh month of the year 1999. But exactly what was going to occur in July of 1999? The Y2K, or Year 2000, MIllennium was approaching, and an anxious and fearful world wondered if the prophet Nostradamus was predicting another great tragedy for mankind.
But prophecy #10-72 was actually a unique challenge issued by Nostradamus to the greatest minds of the twentieth century. Since Nostradamus had given the exact date when the prophecy would occur, Nostradamus followers all over the world rushed to see if they might be the first person to figure out this Nostradamus prophecy before it happened. Many self-proclaimed authorities on Nostradamus soon announced that a Mongolian antichrist (King of Terror) was going to appear in the month of July to start a war in the Middle East that would eventually involve the entire world. Major television networks produced TV specials on the upcoming event, and dozens of Nostradamus "experts" explained their theories on this frightening prediction. Hundreds of websites sprouted up on the Internet as the dreaded July 1999 date approached.
When the month of July 1999 passed rather uneventfully, everyone was terribly disappointed. All the Nostradamus "experts" hurriedly came up with all sorts of excuses for why prophecy #10-72 hadn't come true. In actuality however, this prophecy may have indeed come true exactly as Nostradamus predicted. It seems that everyone simply missed it! The two most popular misinterpretations of this famous prophecy are listed below:
PROPHECY #10-72 (Henry C. Roberts version)
In the year 1999 and seven months,
From the skies shall come an alarmingly powerful king,
To raise again the great king of the Jaquerie,
Before and after, Mars shall reign at will.
PROPHECY #10-72 (Erika Cheetham version)
In the year 1999, and seven months,
From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
He will bring back to life the great king of the Mongols.
Before and after War reigns happily.
The original Nostradamus prophecy #10-72 did not contain the words "King of Terror" or "king of the Mongols." These phrases were added later by overzealous Nostradamus fans trying to create a frightening event to coincide with the year 2000 Millenium. Some Nostradamus followers were of the opinion that the word "Angolmois" was an anagram of the word "Mongolois." The actual original Old French version of the prophecy however, translates as follows:
NOSTRADAMUS PROPHECY #10-72
In the year one thousand nine hundred ninety nine, seventh month
From the sky comes a "grand Roi deffrayeur"
To resurrect the great king of the "Angolmois".
Before and after, war reigns for a good-cause.
Most of the prophecy had been correctly translated, but there was still much confusion over the exact meaning of the Old French word "Angolmois." And who was this "grand Roi deffrayeur?" that was going to arrive out of the sky in July of 1999?
Well, it turns out that the word "Angolmois," in Old French, means "Angol-people" or "Angol-nation,"and the phrase "Grand Roi deffrayeur" simply means "Great Leader of frightening-power." But who were the Angol-people, and who was this great world leader that possessed such awesome power? If you search through all the world's languages, you'll find only one word in any known language that contains the exact spelling A-N-G-O-L. That word is "Angola." Angola is a Portuguese African trading colony located on the West coast of Africa. The Portuguese word "Angola" however, does not have any Spanish or Latin roots, it was actually adopted from the African word "n'gola," which means "king," or "kingdom." But the native Angolan people who were trading with the Portugese had long-ago relocated northward to Portuguese Morocco, which was another trading colony located much closer to Portugal, and therefore much more convenient for trading with the Portuguese. All this leaves us with the following corrected translation for Nostradamus Prophecy #10-72:
PROPHECY #10-72 (corrected translation)
In the year one thousand nine hundred ninety nine, seventh month,
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf, sept mois,
From the sky will come a great Leader of frightening power
Du ceil viendra un grand Roi de-ffrayeur
To resurrect the great King of the Angol-people:
Resusiter le grand Roy d'Angol-mois:
Before and after, war reigns for a good-cause.
Avant apres, Mars regner par bon-heur.

Nostradamus prophecy #10-72 was actually predicting that in July of 1999, a world leader possessing frightening power, would arrive out of the sky into a Portugese African kingdom (Angola - Morocco?) to resurrect an African king upon his native throne. And believe it or not, on July 24th, 1999, the world's most powerful leader did in fact arrive out of the sky into the former Portuguese African kingdom of Morocco to witness the resurrection of the King of Morocco upon his native throne, exactly as Nostradamus predicted he would over four centuries earlier. This great world leader then stepped back into his airplane and flew off to Sarajevo to deliver a speech to a group of brave soldiers who'd just fought in a war for the good-cause (bon-heur) of preventing a horrible genocide.
And so Nostradamus' famous prophecy did come true exactly as he said it would, and his grand experiment to see if men of the twentieth century would be capable of figuring out one of his prophecies before it occurred, reached its inevitable conclusion. Four hundred and fifty additional years of human evolution had apparently not improved the intelligence quotient of mankind one bit, and all the so-called Nostradamus "experts" had only succeeded in once again discrediting their great prophet by misinterpreting his prophecy.
