Nostradamus C3 Q84: Crete's Minoan desolation recurs in our future.

Like the previous verse the anagrams of this particular quatrain are more difficult to filter than most but its resolution is also similar for it lies in the chemical nature of its most unusual anagrams.

Two in particular identify the location which is decribed in the text. On the island of Crete murexes ( e Mur sex) or shellfish were bashed for their dye by the Minoans, a civilisation that disappeared many millenia ago. That region of the Mediterranean is where this rare class of shellfish is found alongside jellyfish of the class called Hydromedusae ( y demoura Des). Other anagrams such as open plume ( on pe -uple m) verge ( erge v) olive ( e viol) shade ( aDes h) in this verse provide descriptions of the properties of these creatures and the way they were oce handled.

Anagrams able to give meaning to this verse include:

1. Leos enlarged deceits desecrating Serbia citadens needs
2. Hydromedusae shared shade aroused habits Venus Lunes abstain
3. Murexes exempt temple give olive verge extremes
4. Cantonese open plume paramour fear fever

# hydromedusae: a Cnideria class of Jellyfish - harvested in countries such as China and Japan for food and of modern interest because of biogenic silica proteins they create allowing their plume to glow in a wide spectrum of colours
# murex: this is the original name given by the Romans to a family of shellfish two species of which produce highly valued blue-to-purple protein based long-lasting dyes.

C3 Q84
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

The great city thoroughly desolated,
Of inhabitants not a single one remains
Wall, sex temple and virgin violated,
By sword fire plague cannon people die.

La grand cite ſera bien deſolee
Des habitans vn ſeul n'y demoura
Mur sexe temple et vierge violee
Par fer feu peſte cannon peuple mourra.
