Nostradamus & the False Trumpet Prophecies: AI Art Interpretations

Image by Mark Turner & Wireless Books


The name Nostradamus still captivates nearly half a century after his death in 1566. Michel de Nostredame, was a French astrologer, physician, and seer born in December of 1503 and became, even in his time, renowned for his uncanny and accurate predictions of the future, including, during his life, the jousting death of King Henry II.  

He is best known for his book "Les Prophéties" (The Prophecies), a collection of 942 poetic quatrains that are believed to contain predictions of future events for our own modern world.  

Nostradamus is believed to have predicted the rise of Napoleon, and Hitler, the death of President Kennedy, and the attacks on New York on 9/11 in 2001. 

Within the last decade, much has been speculated about the Flase Trumpet Prophecies. I will not elaborate on what these predictions might mean, but much has been written about them. 

Instead, I thought it would be interesting to feed the prophecies word-for-word into Bing Image Creator and see what kind of results I would get. 

It did not disappoint. 

The following images are exactly what it gave me. Nothing extra was added to or taken from the quatraines.

CENTURY  I

Quatraine XL

La trompe fausse dissimulant folie,
Fera Bisance vn changement de loix,
Histra d'Egypte, qui veut que l on deffie
Edict changeant monnoyes & aloys.

Translation:

The false trumpet concealing madness
will cause Byzantium to change its laws.
From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants
the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards.

CENTURY I

Quatraine LVII

Par grand discord la terre tremblera,
Accord rompu dressant la teste au ciel,
Bouche sanglante dans le sang nagera,
Au sol la face ointe de laict & miel.

Translation: 

The trumpet shakes with great discord.
An agreement broken: lifting the face to heaven:
the bloody mouth will swim with blood;
the face anointed with milk and honey lies on the ground.

CENTURY X

QuatrainLXXVI

Le grand Senat discernera la pompe,
A l'vn qu'apres sera vaincu chassé:
Ses adherans seront à son de trompe
Biens publiez, ennemis dechassez.

Translation: 

The great Senate will ordain the triumph
For one who afterwards will be vanquished, driven out:
At the sound of the trumpet of his adherents there will be
Put up for sale their possessions, enemies expelled.

CENTURY III

Quatraine L
La republique de la grande cité,
A grand rigueur ne voudra consentir:
Roy sortir hors par trompette cité,
L'eschelle au mur la cité repentir.

Translation: 
The republic of the great city
Will not want to consent to the great severity:
King summoned by trumpet to go out,
The ladder at the wall, the city will repent.
