The Armageddon Machination
Apocalypse is defined as the complete and final destruction of the world. It is hard for me though, in retrospect, to think of this as a singular event that shattered our modern civilization. For the dinosaurs, it was the asteroid that sparked a chain of events leading to the ice age. For the Roman Empire, it was the Visigoth invasion in 410 AD that is most tied to their destruction. Our destruction started twenty-two years ago, we just didn’t know it....
​
