Well if Nostradamus was really a seer and could foresee the future the main Quatrain that will prove or disprove it is the dated Quatrain CXQ72:
the standard:
The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror:
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois
Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d'effraieur
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angoulmois.
Auant apres Mars regner par bon heur.
But poor scholarship does not really translate it properly
A) the word used as Terror is not Terror but Debt Payer
B) though the word " d'Angoulmois" does make a neat anagram of Mongolois it is the seat of the birth place of the Bourbons or Valois dynasty.
A sceptics take:
Todd Carroll _ And while on this subject, "deffraieur" is not the same as "d'effraieur" meaning "of terror" but rather means "defrayer" as in a payer of debts. I have no idea why this is supposed to bring about the end of the world. The apostrophe is usually added by believers in Nosty
This Quatrain really only makes sense when viewed as a Thumbnail of a man's life who came to power in 1999, and has nothing to do with WTC as some claim.
But just to confirm that Nostradamus gives an explanation in his Epistle:
But in Nostradamus Epistle is further explanation of the word "defrayer" as in a payer of debts Chapter 30. And hereupon it is that there is born of a branch long sterile (Kahn) one who will deliver the people of the world from this benevolent slavery to which they had voluntary submitted [3rd World Debt] He will put himself under the protection of Mars [War], stripping Jupiter [the West] of all his honours and dignities, and establish himself in the free city in another scant Mesopotamia. [Kashmir]
As there are only two Quatrains that have numbered months, the other one is C1Q23 (though no date). We then look to the date of the Preface which is taken as the starting for the work of the Nostradamus: 1st March 1555 or as known about the time of Nostradamus the derivation of April Fool or Fish.
