This was written in 2008, but look at it closely... more to fulfill this
has already taken place since then. It's uncanny. The man who wrote
the interpretation died a few months ago.
Here is the link to the .pdf with his interpretations.

Aquila is a constellation in the northern sky. Its name is Latin for 'eagle'.
That's very nice, except the Constellations originated with Sumerian names, and that Constellation was a Vulture. Specifically it is a Griffon Vulture. In Sumerian, the archaic word for "bird" is hu.
That eventually evolves into mušen, probably around 5,000 BCE or so.
So, to distinguish specific birds from a generic "bird" the Sumerians prefix mušen with a descriptor...
uga.mušen = raven
sín.mušen = swallow
tum.mušen = pigeon
tu.mušen = dove
tum.gur..mušen = turtle dove
buru.mušen = crow
bi.bad.mušen = duck
kur.gi.mušen = goose
nin.nínna.mušen = owl.....derived from mušen.nínna which is a nocturnal bird of prey.
su.din.mušen = bat
še-na.mušen = unknown but the descriptor suggests a bird that eats seeds.
sur.du..mušen = falcon
u.bi..mušen = swan
...and finally...
á.mušen = vulture
te.á.mušen = bearded vulture
So, as we can see...
“The Sumerian transliteration is in all-caps, and then the Akkadian is in italics. The English translation of the name is in quotes, followed by the modern star or constellation to which it refers. "
6. Á.MUSHEN = erû “The Eagle”; Aquila
....is incorrect.

That's everyone's Sumerian language lesson for today.

Cognate languages do not show an uniform view of the bird in question. Arabic nasr is translated "eagle" by Lane (2790), and min-sarlmansir is the beak of a bird of prey. Akkadian nasru is a late replacement for eru, "eagle" (CAD N/II;79; CAD E:324). BDB (676-77) allows both "eagle" and "vulture" as possibilities for BH neser. According to Driver (1955:129; sec also King 1988: 132), BH neser refers to the griffon vulture rather than the eagle, although the word is commonly translated "eagle." The griffon vulture stands between three and four feel in length, with a wing-span of almost eight feet; it has a bald spot and it cats carrion, prey unfit for food. The white patch on an eagle gives an impression of baldness; in fact the spot consists of white feathers. It is sometimes claimed that eagles also eat carrion (HDR 677). RH neser seems to conform better to the griffon-vulture than to the eagle, as neser has a bald spot (Mic 1:16) and a long wing-span (Ezek 17:3), and eats carrion (Job 39:27-30). Some biblical passages referring to neser are sufficiently imprecise that they could refer to the eagle. In sum, etymological evidence does not resolve the question (Firmage 1992:1158 n. 44; see also Riede 1993:378).
As I had said previously, the whole thing was mistranslated.

btw, I believe Nostradamus was most likely a plagiarist,...
Strange you should mention that, since the Hebrews plagiarized all of their psalms and songs, and most of their texts from the Ugarits....which is what the aforementioned book discusses.

The Amazing Kreskin got one prediction right....which makes him more accurate than Nostrildimbus.
Linguistically...
