Nostradamus C4 Q66: Deep sea polar explorers seek treasure and ignore impacts on divers.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This is an intriguing verse since it seems to foretell exploration for treasure in the deepest and most remote regions of the world.

The pursuit of this project is only possible by dehumanising the world's people and ignoring the adverse effects of the events that free up hitherto unreachable treasures. It is a foretelling of the economic mindset, the power of wealth and position and the hypocrisy aroused when profit must be weighed against the well-being of sections of mankind.

The structure of the verse is supplied by anagrams such as treasurers ( rateurs Ser), inhumaneness ( ennes humains) dehumanises ( es humains de), explorers ( ers explor), deepest ( e de ſept), polar ( plora), waters ( teurs Au), steepest ( ſept teſte), descent ( ncte de ſ), sediments ( nt ſemes di), treasures ( ateurs Ser), divers ( diuers), failure ( leur fai).
