Why do these ancient words seem so relevant to us today?
Perhaps the answer is not that Nostradamus knew exactly what the future would bring.
Perhaps it is that human fears have changed far less than our technology.
We still worry about conflict.
We still fear disasters.
We still wonder where new inventions will take us.
And we still look toward tomorrow hoping to find some clue about what is waiting beyond the horizon.
That is why, centuries later, the name Nostradamus continues to capture our imagination.
