Prophecies by Nostradamus - страница 7

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. [Chapter 8, "Book of Revelation" by John the Theologian]

I do not know for what reason, but in the future the earth's axis will shift. Antarctica and Greenland will be in the temperate zone. The glaciers will melt. The level of the world's ocean will risen. The lowlands of the continents will be flooded. Europe will turn into islands and seas. The Baltic Sea will merge with the Caspian Sea. The Ural mountains will be an island. And also other global catastrophes will occur on Earth.
