Was anyone else totally disappointed in the over-hyped "Lost Book of Nostadamus"?

Written when Tarot iconography and Qabalism took root in Europe, it seems fully of typical, if poorly rendered symbolism.
But the "experts" insist that the typical Tower card IS 911 -
as if the seer couldn't have depicted 2 towers if the vision were true.

Typical alchemical symbolism is totally overlooked - alchemy got no nod.

The last 7 plates they did backflips over to describe an apocalypse were a planetary series.

They read the top half of pictures and ignored the rest of the iconography.
They arbitrarily attached quatrains to the pics.
They said Nostradamus KNEW that IMAGES were the medium of the century...
and on and on...
they claim he couldn't possibly have painted them himself, when a child could have done so, even copying from any emblem book.

And how many times were works attributed to otherwise famous authors?
First they say his son did the art, then claim it is at least a copy, once removed --
and if so, who KNOWS what the original looked like?
AND, it was unbound MS, so anything could have been slipped in...
and the final text was, much later.

But fake HISTORY Ch. can sell a zillion copies of its spurious report which is an AIRBAG of disinfo...
and make so-called history.

Anyone want to give their rendition of these plates ... vs. the wild speculations.
