[edit] MABUSE/MABUS

Michel de Nostredame, or simply Nostradamus, who some see as a prophet, cites in his famous quatrains a man (or an entity) who he calls MABUS and who some interpreters say is associated with the AntiChrist.

Couldn't Norbert Jacques' "Mabuse" be based on Nostradamus' Mabus?

Curiously, the characters are very similar. In "Das Testament Des Dr. Mabuse", for instance, Fritz Lang uses the character "Mabuse" in a clear reference to the Nazis and Hitler himself, the latter being seen as the second Antichrist by Nostradamus´ interpreters.

I have watched "Das Testament" recently and got really impressed. The most astonishing scenes of all were those of the fire in the Chemical compound.

They're very similar to the footages of the bombing of german cities in WWII.

P.S.: Another joke of destiny itself: Jan Mabuse, the man the article states the character Mabuse was based upon, was a painter. Something Adolph Hitler intended to be, too, with very negative results...
