The Mandela Effect and the Flat Earth
In the early twenty first century some people suddenly started noticing strange changes in the world all around them. It all started when the names of well-known products changed in very subtle ways. Here a letter, there an icon or even something as simple as a dash between words. When asked, the relevant companies would say it was always like that and they never changed their logos or anything like that. The companies would even produce advertisements of fifty, even a hundred years ago, which showed the logo or name never changed. The only place where the “other” name or icon existed, was in people’s minds. But these people were sure the name in their mind was the correct name and that this changed was sudden and unexpected.
And of course, inexplicable.
Another thing was that these uncanny changes increased at an accelerated pace. There were now strange things in the Bible. The Bible now had words and concepts that were never there before. Modern words and practices could now be read straight from the Bible. Sins that the “old” Bible unambiguously prohibited, were now encouraged and readers of the Bible were now told to at least try some of these sins and see what they think of it. Wine was kept in bottles and not wine sacks like people could remember. People were asking God to forgive their debts and not their trespasses. And the Lion didn’t lie with the Lamb anymore, now it was the Wolf that lay with the lamb.
Some people said it was there all the time, while others swore it wasn’t in the Bible before. But no matter which Bible they read, even Bibles printed in the eighteen-, even the seventeenth century, it still said the exact same thing.
And then the human body started changing. A lot of major organs were suddenly not where they always were. The strange thing was that even the anatomical charts changed, showing the organs in their “new” places. Many medical professionals pointed this out, whilst others claimed it was always like that and that no changes had taken place at all.
The human body was suddenly stronger and better, with sensitive organs protected in a much better and secure way against injury and even diseases. This didn’t prevent the strange diseases that would later come, but that had nothing to do with the location of the organs.
But even more exciting changes were still to come.
The main event was the discovery that the earth was flat and not a sphere. People have been claiming for many years that the earth was flat, but no one believed them. These people were called Flat-Earthers and the focus of many fine jokes. Now, with all these strange changes, there was suddenly lots of proof that the earth was actually flat like a pancake. That is proof that wasn’t there before.
After a lot of struggle and fighting with the United Nations, the flat earth people succeeded in sending an expedition to the South Pole.
Scientists claimed that the South Pole was at the bottom of the spherical earth; a place of everlasting snow and ice. The flat-earthers on the other hand, claimed this was not true. They said the South Pole was an ice wall of unknown dimensions that went right around the edge of the world to prevent the ocean from falling over the edge.
Visiting the South Pole was forbidden to ordinary people by the UN. Regular people never even knew about this regulation and even if they did, it wouldn’t have bothered them. Who wants to visit the South Pole?
But now the believers in the flat earth made this a moot point. This was propagated all over the Internet and in the media and people now wanted answers. Why does the UN have jurisdiction over the South Pole, whereas all countries proclaim it belonged to no one? Why can’t people explore the South Pole? With this, the already diminishing power of the UN was further eroded.
The first expedition to the South Pole didn’t survive. But the telexes they send, throughout their journey into the stormy cold darkness, told the others exactly what to expect. The second expedition, Project Kione, prepared very well for these now known dangers.
Going deep into the unknown lands of the South Pole there was incredible, almost impenetrable darkness. Fierce storms with winds so strong, it strips flesh from bone. Incredible cold, like no one had ever felt on earth before.
The first expedition couldn’t send any pictures back via their communication devices. But before they went off the air, they claimed to see a structure through the harsh wind in front of them.
“It looks like an enormous pyra…” And then the transmission was abruptly cut off.
Everyone who read it assumed they wanted to write pyramid. What else? So there is an enormous pyramid at the South Pole. What is that pyramid doing there? What or who was in that pyramid and was it that which killed the expedition members? Now there were even more questions than before.
And now that people thought about it, a pyramid is actually the ideal structure for a place with continuous snow. Pyramids are out of place in desert areas or rain forests. But it fits perfectly in a cold snowy environment.
The world was now openly taking sides against the UN and the richest people in the world financed Project Kione. The expedition had the best equipment, including four armored vehicles that could carry the whole expedition and all its equipment through the harshest weather. These vehicles could move on any terrain, through the thickest snow and even over and under water. So nothing was going to stop it. The last videos and photos show the mighty vehicles disappearing into the harsh darkness of a South Pole storm. Then the whole world waited with bated breath.
Reports from the expedition came through on an hourly basis. Whole radio and television stations were dedicated to Project Kione and people could listen and watch twenty four hours a day.
And then Project Kione reached the edge of the flat earth. They couldn’t fall off it like people always said would happen, because it was protected by a barrier. It was not a dome, like some said it was, it was something invisible, something that no one or nothing could pass through, no matter how hard they tried. It didn’t react to any instruments or probing. It was as if it wasn’t there, but there was no way to pass it.
And the pyramid was there. It was bigger and higher than any mountain of earth. The reports came through that it was built with blocks of giant stones, exactly like the famous pyramids in Giza. Iron-stone. Only thing, it was much bigger. And there were no entrances. The whole area was in complete darkness and it seems the sun never shines there. They had adequate lights, but with the continuous storms it was extremely difficult to make a good study of this strange pyramid.
Suddenly, after this very important discovery was made, the disease started. It started suddenly and right across the world. People got the disease and shortly afterwards they died. It was not the disease that was the problem, it was the death of the people that were a problem. The death of the people with the disease, made the most experience medical personnel run away screaming.
Melvin can’t remember if it was with the discovery that the earth was a flat plane and not a spherical planet, or the disease that caused it. But strange creatures now appeared everywhere on earth. These creatures were the monsters out of books and movies. People always said there were other dimensions that people visited during sleep and saw in their dreams. They said that was where those creatures, which appeared in the stories told over the centuries, came from. And now, it seemed, a dimensional portal had been opened and the real monsters now appeared on earth.
Nothing was as people took it to be through the centuries and things changed drastically. Dragons, werewolves, vampyres, goblins, dwarves, orcs, trolls, etc, all were now a normal part of the world. They were everywhere. Some of them terrorized inhabitants as described in the many stories that were written about them. Others, like the dragons, trolls, etc. were seldom seen. They stayed on their own in faraway places and didn’t interfere with humans at all. But others were a danger and it was almost like living in the bad part of a fairy tale.
The world had changed in an unexpected way.
The Return of the Myths
It all started out very gradually. So gradually that it was almost non-existent. It started out with small things and ninety nine percent of people never noticed it. The one percent who noticed the strange happenings, was not taken seriously by the main stream, because it was the usual conspiracy theorists and spiritual teachers. Spiritual matters were not important to people in the old world. It was more a rush to make as much money as possible to buy as many gadgets as possible. As long as their gadgets worked, people were happy and nothing else was important.
But the changes were there, and clear for anyone who actually cared to look.
At first well known stories and names changed. Not in a big way, but in a small, almost unnoticeable way. The very well-known television series, Sex In The City, now changed into Sex And the City. The famous movie; Interview With A Vampire, now became Interview With The Vampire. The strange thing was that when something changed there was nothing you could fall back on. There was no proof of what you believe to be the old name. Even an old VHS cassette that you have sealed in a box, on the loft seldom used, would still show the “new” name, Interview with THE Vampire, and not, Interview with A vampire, like you remembered it.
The experts had a field day with this and said it were false memories. This led to fierce debates on Internet forums, making people ready to fight to prove their point.
And then – still very gradually – other, bigger, more important things started to change. The location of countries on the maps of the world changed. Some countries became bigger, others smaller. And then new countries – which were never there before – started appearing. Once again, for most people those countries were always there, there was nothing to debate about. But the one percent was totally flabbergasted and had no explanation for this. This was way beyond magic, way beyond any conspiracy they could think of.
The spiritual people claimed that dimensions were converging. They said the speed of time and space were increasing. They further claimed that the earth was split up into several pieces by a very strong bomb in ancient times. Some of those pieces disappeared into other dimensions, due to the unprecedented power of the bomb, but were always there, with its inhabitants continuing to develop like normal, as if they were living in the regular world. Now, with the vibration becoming faster, the different parts of earth were converging, healing and becoming one again. Exactly like the holy books predicted.
The majority of people scoffed at this. Wasn’t it proven time and again that all the holy books were just a bunch of crap written by unscientific men of old?
And then the human body changed. Organs now moved to different positions in the human body. Some organs became smaller, while others became larger and more powerful. With their bigger, stronger hearts and bigger lungs people could now run faster and do more work. The human body became better and was not so disease prone anymore. People were healthier. Sugary and other junk foods went the way of the dodo, as people were not interested in it anymore. Their tastes changed and the usual junk food wasn’t to their liking.
And then the world became really strange. First the creatures out of literature appeared in the world. These were the beings that were never considered to be real. Fairies, brownies, pixies – all the little people of fairy tales and more appeared everywhere on the planet. Then the short, but robust dwarves appeared, then centaurs and even flaming satyrs. And they all had in common the fact that they seemed to have been here all the time.
When people looked again, all the monsters and other creatures from legends and tales of old were there. Nymphs, satyrs, banshees, Cerebus, goblins, etc, etc. They were now all here and moving around on the planet in their different habitats, as if they were here all the time.
It all happened suddenly and no one could deny it. One day they were not there, the next day they were there as if they were there all the time.
People now blamed a scientific experiment that was being conducted in Switzerland for all of this. They said the triple six had opened a portal to hell. Other simply said it was a portal to other dimensions. Some spiritualists said this was something humans should never have interfered with, whilst other said, no, it was supposed to happen that way.
They said everything on earth moved in cycles. It starts with utter destruction of the planet, with only a few humans surviving here and there. These humans restart everything and slowly but surely, over tens of thousands of years, a civil society is created. This new society usually knows nothing of the societies that came before it. Anyone who claims there were highly advanced societies in ancient times is made off as crazy and a conspiracy theorist.
Humans become more advance and with this they built more powerful weapons and stronger means of destruction. And in the end they use those weapons, which lead to the utter destruction of the planet, which starts the cycle all over again.
People said the return of these mythical creatures where the sign that destruction was at hand.
In a remote part of the Atlantic Ocean, a giant country appeared overnight. People immediately said it was Atlantis that rose up from the ocean depths. But this was a very advanced land with a sophisticated people who claimed to have been there all the time. Their native tongue almost sounded like a combination of Dutch and German, and even contained many Dutch and German words. Even stranger was the fact that most of the residents of this new country used ordinary English as a second language. In fact many people of this mysterious land could speak the other languages of the world.
They couldn’t understand what people were talking about as they claim to have been there all the time and said they had been dealing with everybody in the world since time immemorial. They had the photos and videos that proved this without qualification.
They called their country Thula.
People got a shock when they heard this.
But with the appearance of this strange land in the Atlantic Ocean, the disease started. There was simply no explanation for it. People’s skin started changing color. Today it would be bright pink, tomorrow blue and by next week a strange green tint. There was no explanation for it and no cure. Even the people of Thula got this disease and even they said they couldn’t understand it and that it was the first time they contracted something like it or even heard of it.
Their scientists and the scientists of the “old” world studied this disease with everything they had, but they couldn’t make head or tail of it.
People with the disease didn’t live long after they’ve contracted the disease.
Something strange happened when they died. Something so horrible that most people didn’t even want to think about it, much less talk about it.
Melvin saw his mother, father and brother split open from the top of their heads, right down to their crotch. Something came out and ran away with an amazing speed, leaving what seemed like empty shells behind. Inside the split open body there were no organs, no blood, nothing. Just like the empty shell of a peanut.
No explanation. Nothing. No matter how much the scientists studied it, they couldn’t find out what it was.
But things were really happening at an accelerated pace now. Nobody could deny it anymore. The world was not the same as it was before. Nobody scoffed now. Everybody was scared out of their wits. Nobody knew what was going to change next and the disease was taking a great toll. People who waited on their gods to safe them, died inside their holy places as they prayed to the gods. There was no answer.
Another shock was that the earth was flat after all. The few people who believed in the flat earth was always mocked and ridiculed by those who definitely knew the earth was round. And then it was proven that the earth was flat and all those government scientists did lie all this time. But there was no time to go deeper into that now. This was simply not important anymore, not in relation to everything else that was happening.
Some power stations stopped functioning. Other power stations disappeared overnight. Some disappeared into sink holes, while others simply disappeared as if they never existed. With no electricity, all gadgets and equipment stopped functioning almost immediately. The lack of electricity was basically the only thing that could bring the whole Internet down and this is what happened. No Internet overnight. With no Internet, everything in the then modern world came to a standstill.
Worldwide communication ceased overnight. Everything was local now. People were now forced to listen to the prepper community who always said something like this might happen. Okay, the truth is nobody expected it to be like this, but those who prepared for a disaster, were ready.
Nations were now way too weak to even think of making war with one another, with their populations dying at a sped up rate and their great weapons of war not working anymore. People turned back to the old weapons; bow and arrow, spears, clubs, knives, etc.
And this is the world that Melvin finds himself in now. Luckily it all started when he was still a child, so he is basically used to it and for him living like this is actually a way of life.
