Famous predictions
Even during his lifetime, Nostradamus' sometimes crazy and arbitrary predictions are said to have made him a "famous and universally known man". So it's no wonder that we still refer back to his predictions centuries later.
There are also some "living" imitators of Nostradamus, but here we show you the French astrologer's actual predictions for the coming year.
Prophecies for 2024
Nostradamus' 'prophecies for the future', as he is said to have called his predictions according to the source, include a major expansion of China. This would overshadow other major powers and make China the next world leader.
Nostradamus also writes of 'groundbreaking advances' in medicine, specifically in the field of organ transplantation. Focus Online describes it as a 'medical revolution'.
The Frenchman also writes of an artificial intelligence that would produce 'technological wonders' in the coming year. Putin would also have to face major challenges and perform a kind of 'dance of destiny'.
According to Nostradamus, there will be a 'new Western European leader' in 2024, who will be poor and very eloquent. His fame would go east, according to Sat.1.

Is it all true?
How much truth there is in the predictions can only be said once an event actually comes true. Basically, the writer's prophecies leave a lot of room for interpretation and everything written down is itself merely an interpretation of Nostradamus' verses.
According to Focus Online, it is almost impossible to read the Frenchman's originals. As a result, it is not possible to determine the extent to which his four-line verses are true. However, this does not prevent us from being curious about the predictions; after all, the writer still inspires us today.
