Chapter 376: Globe Alex was stunned when he saw the movie scene. 'The world from 600 years ago… looks just like now? How?' he couldn't help but ask himself. The lady continued speaking. "There is only one way the world from 600 years ago could possibly be that advanced. That is… right around 600 years ago, something happened that destroyed everything and humanity had to start over." "They had to restart civilization all over again, and build themselves until where we are now," the lady said. The things she said sounded so outlandish, and yet, not a single person there could counter her with all the evidence there. "Let's move on," she said and walked on. "These are all helmets and armors worn by warriors when the 17 cities were still countries ruled by different factions. The war at that time destroyed a lot of things that should have been kept safe." "From what we were able to find out, the experts made an educated guess that the reason more of these cars and vehicles, as well as the other items, doesn't exist, aside from being destroyed in time, is that they were all melted and used during the war," the lady said. "Once the war ended, they finally started to mine new metals, and the old ones got discarded." "Um… Miss, why aren't these things public knowledge? Why do we have to come all the way to a museum to learn about these things?" a person asked. "These are public knowledge. It's just that it's too old, and people don't like reading through history. If you dig deep, you can find these all on the internet," the lady said. "Now, come along. We have more things to see," she said and took them along. The tour had already been going on for nearly half an hour, and the woman took them for another 15 minutes tour, explaining the various things. Alex was surprised to see that history less than 600 years ago was quite neatly recorded. Yet the ones beforehand were not. 'That is very surprising,' he thought. While he did hear that the war was one of the major reasons they had lost most of the history, he still wondered why there weren't other things. 'What about the various landscapes that the developer of the game allegedly learned through here? Where are those texts?' Alex wondered. He did hear about some texts that were in the museum and couldn't wait to see them. "Here we are. This is perhaps the most important piece of the exhibition in the museum, that was the reason for the deaths of hundreds of people," the lady said. Alex looked in front of him and was a little surprised to see what was in front of him. 'Is that…?' "Isn't that what is at the top of this building?" a student asked curiously. "Yes," the lady said. "This is what is called a globe." The lady spun the globe around and showed it to everyone. "This is supposed to depict how the world of the old people looked like. However, despite how advanced they were at the time; it seems that they believed that the world was round. "Look at that screen. They even made a map that is totally flat, and yet they turned it into a sphere on the globe. For some reason, they couldn't change their views at all. This continued even after an apocalypse that we assume took place 600 years ago." "There were many hints to the world being flat. For example, the sun rose and set at the same time everywhere, and yet the old folks never stopped believing. They tried to venture out onto what they believed was the real world," the lady said. Alex looked at the map of the world that was put up on the screen. There were around 7 large pieces of land on the map, all of which Alex knew were continents. Unfortunately, there were no names on the map. Suddenly, the map changed, and now the screen had a person in it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 The person on the screen was a middle-aged man. He had no beard or mustache on his face and his long hair was tied in a ponytail behind him. He looked a little weak, almost as if he hadn't gotten sleep for some days. Below him was a name that read "Neil Ambers". "It wasn't until the Neil Ambers proved, through his various experiments, to the world that the world was flat in shape instead of a sphere that they stopped. He proposed the idea that there was a void beyond the forest, and anyone who went there fell through the void to their death." "The later tests with unmanned planes and drones proved his point," the lady explained and moved a little to the side. "Over here are old books that contain knowledge, some that are clearly fictions, but some that are hard to know what the intentions of the writers were. You can read snippets of the book on the screen," the lady said and the man's image changed to pieces of text. Alex read them, but nothing understandable could be found from there. The lady took them to a few more exhibitions, but none of them were as interesting. With that, the tour was over, and the students were sent out of the museum. "Alright, let's go to the viewing spot on the top of the building now," the teacher said and took the students to a lift. Even as Alex walked, he kept on thinking. 'So what happened 600 years ago? Did some catastrophic event take place that destroyed the civilization at that time to the point where it needed to restart?' he wondered. 'Also, the current map looks nothing like the old one they used with the continent. So, in a way, I can conclude that it's fake. Then, does that mean that the map from the game is fake too?' 'Which would mean that the game is just a game, right?'? he thought. Only questions were piled on top of him after coming to the museum instead of them getting answered. Finally, the door of the lift opened up and Alex saw a massive open space outside. They were at the viewing station on top of the building.
