Nostradamus C5 Q45: The manner by which ancient Icelanders encode planets in poetry
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, May 2023

This verse provides the bridge between the 16th century content of this and the previous verse (C5 Q45) to verses about the sadder (es d'ard) premise (Empire ſ)behind gene tree(eEt r -egne) manipulation and airplane's (par l'aiſne) weaponry in the modern century. That this is the intent of the verse can be seen through anagrams stating, new lines (uenne ſilu) separated (te pres d'ar) oldest(ſt deſol) arena (ra Aen).

The verse also describes how ancient poets included information about astronomic dating by using human population movements as planetary allusions.

The star of de Baux found in the anagrams of the third line is a symbol of a town close to St Remy where Nostradamus was born.
