From the death of Kim Jong-un to the collapse of the European Union: what Nostradamus predicted for 2022

Michel Nostradamus left behind 6338 prophecies. 70% of them, according to the calculations of his followers, have already come true. It is believed that Nostradamus predicted the French Revolution, Hitler's coming to power, World War II, the creation of the atomic bomb, the September 11 terrorist attack. Here are five predictions for 2022 that The Sun found among his quatrains.

Death of Kim Jong-un

In the 14th quatrain of Century IV, Nostradamus writes: "The sudden death of the first character / Will lead to changes, and possibly the appearance of another character in the kingdom". There is a possibility that we are talking about Kim Jong-un, who recently caused a lot of rumors with his strong weight loss and long absence in public. After the North Korean leader appeared in public at a missile display in October, he has not been seen for over a month. The dictator's longest absence in seven years has fueled longstanding rumors of his health problems.

Catastrophic earthquake

The third quatrain of Century III may refer to a natural disaster, the most likely place of which is Japan: "Towards the middle of the day / In the depths of Asia they will say that an earthquake has occurred". The last significant earthquake in Japan happened on October 7 - its magnitude at the epicenter, in the greater Kanto region, was 5.9 points. Damage was minimal, but it was the worst earthquake since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, when powerful tremors and tsunamis killed more than 15,000 people and disrupted the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

War in Europe

According to some interpretations, one of the prophecies of Nostradamus for the coming year concerns Paris: "All over the great city / There will be soldiers stationed in the fields and in the cities." If the French capital is under siege, it will inevitably lead to war throughout Europe. In 2015, "September 11 in French" already happened in Paris, when 130 people were killed in a series of terrorist attacks on November 13. These attacks were the largest casualties in French history and the largest casualty attack on Paris since World War II.

Migration crisis

“Blood and hunger are an even greater calamity. Seven times come to the sea beach / Hunger and slavery": writes Nostradamus. This can be interpreted as follows: wars and armed conflicts in the world will lead to even greater hunger, it will increase migration flows, and seven times more migrants will arrive on the coasts of Europe.

Collapse of the European Union

"Sacred temples in the Roman style / Rejected the deceived foundations". Fans of Nostradamus believe this quatrain refers to the fall of the European Union, which has been going through hard times since the UK voted to leave in 2016. References to Rome can mean the Treaty of Rome, signed in 1957 by Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg - this document on the elimination of all barriers to the free movement of people, goods, services and capital laid the foundation for the European Economic community. Experts believe that the next country to leave the EU may be Poland.
