"Rise of the Living
Dead"
Many have questioned this prediction of Nostradamus in Century X,
Quatrain 74...
Au revolu du grand nombre
septiesme,
Apparoistra au temps ieux d'Hecatombe,
Non esloingne du grand age milliesme,
Que les entrez sortiront de leur tombre.
The year seven of the great number being past,
There shall be seen the sports of the ghostly sacrifice,
Not far from the great age of the millennium,
That the buried shall come out of their graves.
Sounds pretty creepy doesn't it? Will this happen in 2007, or
3007? I don't think so. It already happened in 1907.
In 1907 a man from Russia by
the name of Boris Rosing had developed the first true television
system which made use of a mechanical disc system as a camera and
a glass tube or cathode ray tube (CRT) as a receiver. The system
was primitive, but it was an actual electronic device and not as
mechanical in nature. It was capable of transmission as well as
receiving black-and-white silhouettes of simple shapes, using a
mechanical mirror-drum apparatus as a camera and a cathode-ray
tube as a receiver. Although it was not until 1929 that Vladimir
Kosma Zworykin a student of Rosing demonstrated a system with all
the features of modern Television picture tubes, Rosing was the
first to bring television a reality.
Since that time we see ghostly images every day on television.
Old and movie stars long since dead are walking and talking as if
they are alive and kicking right in front of our eyes. We view it
as entertainment, but to Nostradamus it must have been a truly
ghostly site indeed.
