HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD

MAITREYA PREDICTIONS (1)

Student: “Master Klaas taught us about ancient maps, Master.”

Master: “Interesting.”

Student: “I know Master, you are fascinated by old maps and documents, so I payed special attention to his lecture.”

Master: “You flatter me.”

Student: “Did you know, Master, that Columbus almost perished on his first voyage to the Americas.”

Master: “Please tell me.”

Student: “Columbus had gathered ancient maps and on some of them showed the coast of Africa, America and even the landmass of Antarctica, which is now covered in snow and ice.”

Master: “I heard of those. They once belonged to a Turkish admiral.”

Student: “Yes, Master, his name was Piri Reis. But the origin of the maps, Levant and Arabia, was the cause of an enormous miscalculation on part of Columbus. He calculated how much food, fresh water and supplies he needed for his crew. It was here, that he made a terrible mistake.”

Master: “I heard, that our great and famous navigator drew a map, on which the Americas were projected up side down.”

Student: “ That too, Master, but he calculated the journey much to optimistic. The maps he used were from the Orient. The mile, as a distance of measurement, in Arabia was much “longer”, than the mile used in Spain.”

Master: “So he became terribly short of fresh water and food.”

Student: “Yes, Master. Columbus crossed a point of no-return and could do nothing but sail on West. Not as the adventurous discoverer, but as a desperate captain, with a mutinous crew. Fortunately he found America just in time. Columbus, his ships and crew arrived angry and starving.”

Master: “There is an obvious lesson to be learned from this anecdote.”

Student: “Yes, Master, you flatter me.”
