Soon after the 9-11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, Nostradamus prophecies began to flood the Internet, as Nostradamus followers all over the world proclaimed that this event had been foretold by the great prophet. Many self proclaimed Nostradamus "experts" suddenly came up with all sorts of verses allegedly written by Nostradamus that contained detailed information about the New York City tragedy. In actuality these so-called "experts" had pieced together lines from different Nostradamus quatrains in their vain attempts to explain the 9-11 event. These fraudulent prophecies were very soon discredited.
There was however, a Nostradamus prophecy that did seem to refer to an attack on New York City, it was prophecy #1-87. Nostradamus Prophecy #1-87 concerned a city that Nostradamus referred to as "Cite' Neufve," and most Nostradamus followers agree that Cite' Neufve (the City of New) is indeed New York City. The misinterpreted version of this now famous Nostradamus quatrain is printed below.
PROPHECY #1-87 (the original translation)
Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth
Will cause trembling in the towers of New York City.
Two great rocks will be at war for a long time
Then Arethuse reddens the new river
In 1981, author Erika Cheetham wrote in her famous book The Man Who Saw Tomorrow - The Prophecies of Nostradamus, that Prophecy #1-87 described an "Attack on New York" possibly involving its "towers or skyscrapers." It now appears that Ms. Cheetham's interpretation of this controversial prophecy may have in fact come true exactly as Nostradamus predicted it would over 400 years earlier. The following interpretation of this famous prophecy reflects a more accurate English translation taken from the Nostradamus original Old French version.
PROPHECY #1-87 (corrected translation)
Enormous-promontories on fire in the center of the mainland.
Enno-sigee feu du centre de terre
Will create trembling in the towers of the City of New York.
Fera trembler au tour de Cite Neufve
Two great rock-monoliths continuously will be attacked.
Deux grands rochiers longtemps feront la guerre
This is when air-vessels will spin-around to a new course.
Puis are-thuse rou-gira nouveau fleuve
