Who said they are accepted from a global perspective? Nostradamus so-called prophecies are highly cryptic statements which people read all kinds of events into. Such as "Two brothers will fall" is read as predicting 9/11.
It could also refer to 'Lehman Brothers'. Who knows...!!!
But that is besides the point.
In any case the most rational explanation is the Bhavishya Purana has been edited. People are not stupid to accept such extraordinary explanations that this is a ancient book of prophecy which conveniently stops giving prophecies after its last edition in the 19th century. You are being irrational and this is clear for everybody to see.
Bahvishya Purāna's first 'printed' edition came out during the British rule in India. Why certain portions, foretelling events of a later date (from print), went 'missing', I think you are smart enough. Put two and two together...
What on earth are you saying? What's Einstein theory of relativity got to do with the fact that the Puranas mention historical people, historical buildings? They mention temples that were not constructed till the late middle ages, some as late as the 16th century. They mention kings that reigned in India to 300AD. Hence they clearly have been constantly edited throughout history. We can also quite confidently fix the dates of composition too.
The Purānas were authored by same Srīlā Vyāsdeva, who authored Bhavīśya Purāna. Meaning, he was spiritually enlightened and could look into the future. So, even if there is mention of temples in other Purānas, why is it so difficult for you to accept?
