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 20th 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 prophecy before it happened. Many so-called "experts" on Nostradamus thought the word "Angolmois" was an anagram of the word "Mongolois", and soon announced that a Mongolian antichrist, or "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 self -proclaimed authorities on Nostradamus 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 following interpretation of this Nostradamus quatrain was published in many Nostradamus books prior to the 1999 event:
PROPHECY #10-72
In the year 1999 and seven months,
From the skies shall come a great and terrible king.
To raise again the great king of the Mongols,
Before and after, War shall reign at will.
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. The actual original Old French version of the prophecy 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, a 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 the month of July?
The keyword "Angolmois" has no roots in either the French or Latin languages. In fact if you search through all the world's languages, you'll find only one word in any known language that has the exact spelling A-N-G-O-L. That word is Angola, a Portuguese trading colony located on the West coast of Africa. In Old French, the word "Angolmois" means "Angol-people" or "Angol-nation." The fact is that this word "Angola" was actually adapted from the African word "n'gola" which means "king" or "kingdom."
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 possessing such awesome power? The native Angolan people who were trading with the Portugese had long ago been driven northward by southern African tribes and relocated to Portuguese Morocco, which became another trading colony located much closer to Portugal, and therefore more convenient for trading with Portuguese ships. All this leaves us with the following corrected translation of 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 really predicting that in July of 1999, a great world leader possessing a frightening amount of 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 African kingdom of Morocco (Portuguese: Marrocos) to witness the resurrection of Prince Hassan onto the throne of his recently deceased father King Hassan, exactly as Nostradamus predicted over four centuries earlier. This great world leader then got 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 20th century would be capable of correctly 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 IQ of mankind one bit, and all the self- proclaimed Nostradamus "experts" had only succeeded in once again discrediting the great prophet by misinterpreting his prophecy.
