>> Line 1 speaks of a deep entrance made by the great queen. Prior
>> to that memorable Friday, May 6, 1994, its meaning was baffling.
>> What on Earth would have made a Queen make a deep entrance. And
>> to where?
>> *
>> That day, the answer came: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was
>> making a very deep entrance into France, because she was
>> inaugurating the Tunnel under the Channel. She was the first
>> British monarch to ever go to France without taking a ship or a
>> plane. All was well and good.
>> *
>> But the quatrain hints at a hideous amd terrible event happening
>> inside it, still a future event, that this powerful place would
>> one day be rendered inaccessible.
>> *
>> On top of the Queen's Rolls Royce, in which she came to France,
>> her arms are displayed. The three lions are there, representing
>> England. Line 3 speaks of the defeat of the army of the three
>> lions. This sets the scene to where it happens: Some other army
>> is fighting the Brits in the Tunnel and wins.
>> *
>> The fact that the Tunnel becomes inaccessible as a result narrows
>> the possibilities. One thinks of the obvious: A nuclear weapon is
>> detonated in the Tunnel, making it radioactive for 24,000 years.
>> Who could do that while fighting the Brits? Another obvious
>> answer: The I.R.A., of course.
>> *
>> That was my interpretation of this poem, as is, no anagrams,
>> ma'am. But some time after May 1994, I realized that Nostradamus
>> had enciphered his quatrains using the line-based cryptic
>> anagram. Perhaps would it be possible to confirm that
>> interpretation by finding that event hidden inside it?
>> *
>> After many trials and errors, here is what I finally found, due
>> to the passage of time:
>> *
>> --------- L'Irlande affrontera l'Angleterre dans le ----------
>> --------- Tunnel soubs la Mer rendu inaccessible, ------------
>> --------- car l'I.R.A. y a tiré en effect l'Atome de sa ------
>> --------- tant grande férocité de Deux Mil X Sept. -----------
>> *
>> In approximate English, with asterisks indicating words no longer
>> used or spelled thus: 'Ireland shall face England in the Tunnel
>> *under* the Sea rendered inaccessible, as the I.R.A. did *indeed*
>> fire in it the Atom of its very great ferociousness of Two
>> Thousand and Seventeen.'
>> *
>> Where did the I.R.A. find her nuclear weapon? Other deciphered
>> texts speak of the former Soviet Union. How is it introduced in
>> the Tunnel? From the French side. How can we be sure that this
>> happens in 2017? We can't be, as this date has not been found
>> very frequently in the deciphered texts. So I tend to view it as
>> a probability, not a certainty.
>> *
>> All of this started when the Tunnel was inaugurated by the Queen
>> and French President François Mitterrand, back in 1994. Even if
>> one does not subscribe to the anagram theory, one is bound to
>> observe that the original quatrain itself is quite revealing.
>> *
>> Have a nice day, folks!
