Mystics | Nostradamus: The Arophecary | 1
About this episode
The episode explores the real life of Nostradamus, focusing on his role as an apothecary and the myths surrounding his prophecies.
Nostradamus has predicted every major disaster in history — or so the internet would have you believe. Peter and Afua get behind the myth to meet the real man: a plague-era apothecary, rejected by the medical establishment, whose greatest invention wasn't prophecy — it was selling certainty to an anxious world.
