In 1994, Italian journalist Enza Massa was at the Italian National Library in Rome when she stumbled upon an unusual find.It was a manuscript dating to 1629, titled: Nostradamus Vatinicia Code. \n\nMichel de Notredame, the author\'s name, was on the inside in indelible ink. \n\nThis manuscript, never published by Nostradamus, was handed down to the prophet\'s son and later donated by him to Pope Urban VIII. \n\nIt did not surface again until now, almost four hundred years later.\n\nThe cryptic paintings vary from the strange to the bizarre, with images of popes, decapitations and strange creatures. \n\nKnown as the \"Vaticinia Nostradami\",this book has often been considered to be Nostradamus\' final prophecies regarding \nthe end of the world as we know it. \n\nIt was said that Nostradamus had handed the book over to his son, who in turn was to donate it to a cardinal at the time who later went on to become Pope Urban VIII; \n\nThe book eventually ended up in the library.\n\nIn both the paintings and the accompanying quatrains within, Nostradamus is said to have predicted the Nazi Blitzkrieg, the assassination attempt on Pope JohnPaul II, the burning of the oil wells of Kuwait by Iraq, and Boris Yeltsin\'s rise to power.\n\nSome of the paintings reveal new prophecies, while others are eithergenerally indecipherable or linked to earlier quatrains, but not indicated. \n\nAmong the paintings are a Pope with the body of a dog, female priests, clergymen being attacked and a black-skinned pope. \n\nFollowing are original images\nfrom the Nostradamus Vatinicia.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaticinia_Nostradami\nhttp://www.history.com/Nostradamus\nhttp://www.howprophetic.com/Nostradamus_Vaticinia/ 2012, Anti, Apocalypse, Beast, Christ, End, God, Jesus, John, Nostradamus, Pope, Rapture, Religion, Second, Tarot, Times, World
