Wasn't there something aobut a 'blue turbaned leader' from the middle east who led the world into war from which it never recovered in Nostradamus?

Nostradamus made many obscure references, specifically, to "the prince" and his main anti-christ, a character named MABUS.. ( in some translations, MALUS, which would mean "evil".. I prefer the latter interpretation.. )

While Nosty refers to the middle east and Libya in a few of his prophetic verses, nothing is ever specific enough to point to a recognizable coming event..

Actually, it is even unclear whether MALUS is the actual anti-christ, or is the final precursor to the anti-christ..

As for whether MALUS or the anti-christ actually comes out of the middle east, far east, or even America, is left unclear, vague, and confusing..
That "Blue Turban" guy comes out of a wildly inaccurate TV documentary hosted / narrated by one of those Star Trek TNG guys.. ( one of the 10 worst Nostradamus documentaries ever done.. )

Let me finish by explaining why...
Nostradamus was actually unconcerned with world events and their future outcome..
His only true concern in making his prophecies was...
France..

Yeah, all those prophecies are made in relation with France, and the future of France, how it will affect France, will France approve, etc...
Likewise, the few actual times, ( day, month, year ) that Nosty uses are questionable as well..
The adoption of the Gregorian calendar was made about this time, and depending on which calendric system he used, there may be a variation of several years between his date for a prophecy and ours..

So take it all with a grain of salt, and anything you hear about the prophecies of Nostradamus should be appreciated for it's entertainment value only..

The world will be at war for a long time and the Muslims will penetrate far into Europe before being pushed back by a mighty European King. After that the world will be at peace
