at five in the afternoon,

and the people smashing windows

at five in the afternoon.

At five in the afternoon.

Ay, what a fearful

five in the afternoon!

It was five on every clock!

It was five of a dark afternoon!

At 11pm he announces to his friend

Gonsalo Anise Bandarra

"I saw Satan fall from heaven

like a lightning bolt"

Evidence:
He displays his back

covered with third degree burns

with the formation of scabs.

And a pine tree charred

and still smoking.

On the shadow of

this pine, on May 21, 1888

rested Dom Pedro II,

the imperial family

and the imperial entourage,

on their way to Curitiba.

It was the last warning.

Dr. Arthur left home and country

to preach under the most

harmful weather in the Torrid Zone.

And he had the dramatic revelation

of his true name:

'Ober'

which means:
'Splendor'.

In his files and recorded tapes

he reviewed the history of

his precursors in the region.

A supposed So Laureno who preached

imminent universal combustion

and organized shows with

five thousand settlers

confessing in the public square.

El Corregedor, who forced Indians

to worship him at the weekend

against the wishes of his wife.

His saliva

was a powerful ally

in the fight against malaria.

He taught the perforation of the nose

to eliminate maternal blood,

focusing on men.

He was hanged

Dr. Arthur crosses this

initial period amid visions.

His fixed idea is:

"The 2000 will not come".

He travels through thought to

the land of the illustrious dead

and shows an old Europe

for generations without vigour.

A specter is haunting Europe

The 2000 will not come.

Only the chosen ones

from The Scorpion Zone

will escape the ultimate night.

The order is:

Give up all that the foreigner brought.

Nylon thread, cosmetics,

canned food,

the combustion engine.

To preserve tradition

European food is prohibited.

It produces a diabolical body weight.

The body must be preserved

through starvation,

until its lightness

finds the path to heaven.

His father, The Sun,

sent him a daily newsletter

with instructions for the government of

the world and the restoration of empire.

Dr. Artur memorized everything.

Technical details about

the coming flood.

Schedules for the pursuit

of earthly paradise.

Fact sheets about present and future

foreign kings to overcome.

And a pilgrimage route

to the land without evil

which the Guaranis have sought

since the 16th century.

One of the oldest messianic thefts known

happened in 1549.

a Jesuit imprisonment in Bahia

Guided by two shamans who claimed

to be the creators of sky and thunder.

They tried to cross

the South American continent.

The shamans staged

dances and prescriptions.
