Throughout history there have been figures who seem to have seen beyond their time. Among them is Nostradamus, the enigmatic 16th-century French physician and astrologer whose prophecies have fascinated us for centuries. His famous texts, written in the form of enigmatic quatrains, have been interpreted by many as predictions of great historical events.

According to some modern interpretations of his writings, the world could approach a period of profound transformation, where several current powers would face changes that could alter the global balance. Among the most discussed theories is that three major countries could experience crises so intense that they would change their role on the world stage before the end of 2026.

But beyond literal interpretations, what many scholars point out is that Nostradamus was not only talking about destruction, but about historical cycles, moments in which the structures of power are transformed to give rise to new stages of humanity.

Who really was Nostradamus?
