St. Malachy, a Catholic Priest in the early 1100s, received a vision that gave him a motto for all the Popes from his time "to the end of time." The total number of Popes from Celestine II till the end would be 111 according to St. Malachy's prophecy. In the late 1950's or early 60's the Catholic Church added the 112th whose motto was given as "Peterus Romanus." This presentation provides a summary of Malachy's prophecy, describes the reasons that Benedict XVI is the last Pope, the 111th, and the consequences for the church and the world.

In 1898, a Minnesota farmer clearing trees from his field uprooted a large stone covered with mysterious runes that tell a story of land acquisition and murder. The stone allegedly dates back to 1362.

Follow the clues as experts use erosion studies on the rune stone and match symbols in Templar ruins all over Europe to support this theory. Stones with similar markings have been found on islands across the Atlantic Ocean, and in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

It’s because he had a secret–and now, we know what it was. This documentary takes a look at Nostradamus in a whole new light. New, innovative analysis gives us the chance to finally crack his cryptic code. The emerging truth is that Nostradamus may indeed have possessed a special gift that made his predictions so accurate, but it’s a gift we may all be able to tap into.
