Nostradamus C9 Q12: The exploration of the fundaments of the universe and its potential returns.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This verse is full of symbolism alluding to peope, places and appropriate parallel events. One significant set of anagrams refers to Archelaus, ethnarch and ancestor oracles. This points to events associated with the ethnarch of Arabia, Herod Archelaus and oracles around the time the Jesus legend began to form. However the verse's anagrams also carry a more modern theme where absorbent, slower, retardant  and nucleators relate to processes involved in nuclear and sub-nuclear reactions. But the idea of a torrent suggests it is a process where a stream is fired while eternal cure and farewelling life  imply a medical research aim.

Key anagrams for resolving this verse include:

1. Lecturer latent dart granted eternal meter retardment recur
2. Archelaus ancestor misuse musical oracles louuer touuers torrents
3. Ethnarc cheer ill grant feuu feel uglier fareuuelling life
4. Yet Yule indorses orders less absorbent use

C9 Q12

So much silver of Diana and Mercury,
The images will be found in the lake:
The sculptor looking for new clay,
He and his followers will be steeped in gold.

Le tant d'argent de Diane et Mercure
Les ſimulachres au lac ſeront trouuez
Le figulier cherchant argille neufue
Luy et les ſiens d'or ſeront abbreuez.
