In 1994 members of the Italian National Library in Rome made an amazing discovery: buried in their archives was an unknown manuscript consisting of eighty mysterious paintings by the famed prophet Michele Nostradamus (1503--1566). This manuscript, handed down to the prophet"s son and later donated by him to Pope Urban VIII, confirms the hidden chronology of Nostradamus"s quatrains discovered by the well-known Nostradamus scholar Ottavio Cesare Ramotti. In both the paintings and accompanying quatrains within, Nostradamus correctly predicts such key events as the Nazi Blitzkrieg, the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II, the burning of the oil wells of Kuwait by Iraq, and Boris Yeltsin"s rise to power. Knowing the power that his prophecies contained, and wary of this power falling into the wrong hands, Nostradamus scrambled both the meaning and the order of his quatrains so that humanity would not be able to use them until we had become sophisticated enough to decode them. That time is now. Using a software program he created, Ramotti has finally cracked the code, revealing even more world-shattering predictions for the next century. The Nostradamus Code is required reading for those who want to know what the future has in store.
