NOSTRADAMUS [I.69]
The great mountain, seven stadia round, after peace, war, famine, flooding.
It will spread far, drowning great countries, even antiquities and their great
foundations.
Here the actual Comet-Strike is described. A round comet or meteor one mile
(seven stadia) wide, as big as a mountain will hit an ocean causing giant tidal
wave leading to devastation and submergence of many countries. From other
quatrains, it seems that the Comet will break up in several pieces and large
parts will strike the Atlantic and Mediterranean Oceans and the lands in
Europe and USA causing tidal waves, floods, earthquakes and raining of
burning fragments on cities and forests. From the description "antiquities",
it seems that countries with "old" cultures like Greece, Italy etc. will be
severely hit. A similar prophecy is there in the Biblical Book of Revelations
8:8 and 8:9 and in several other prophecies including those of Mother
Shipton's. The effects of the comet-strike on the course of WW-III has been
discussed separately in the page WW-III : When the Comet will run.
