My stepfather has lost his shit and gone from accountant to flat earther. This has evolved from glass dome above the earth that caused the Challenger explosion to some new shit. Enter the ２０４０ Ｐｈｏｅｎｉｘ Ｅｖｅｎｔ. Every 140 years there's a cataclysmic event which changes the fundamental nature of the planet. This cycle is so powerful that it actually destroyed the Mayan civilisation. In 2040 it's due to happen again and the ONLY place on earth that will be safe is Egypt.
But what was the last thing that happened in 1900, you might ask.
The 1908 Tunguska Event in which an asteroid air burst above Siberia and killed a few reindeer herders.
But 1908 is 8 years after the 140 year cycle and 1900 was pretty uneventful, you might say.
The part that sticks out for me is Egypt being the only safe place. Like, why is this cataclysmic event stopping at their borders? Why are the neighboring countries with similar climates, elevations, latitudes or longitudes not safe? Not sure if this is some sort of fetishizing ancient society mysticism, or some sort of ancient aliens-adjacent thing, or if it’s coming out of Egypt itself as a sort of apocalyptic nationalism.

They reached their plague quota during Exodus.
There are so many questions I'd ask about it if I could stand speaking to him. If the last time was just an asteroid strike killing a few Siberians, was Egypt still the only safe place or was it everywhere except Siberia? How did they repair the glass dome that exists over the flat earth and where did that asteroid come from if everything in space is a hologram projected onto the dome?
140 years before 1900, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1760. Or before 1908, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1768. Both are completely banal years without anything noteworthy. Was Egypt still the only safe place to avoid the volcanic eruption in Ecuador that didn't kill anyone? It seems like this conspiracy would fall apart if you just tried to find the events for each previous year. Given the whole of the 1900s, the best he and the only video I watched on it have come up with is Tunguska or some completely undefined ash rain people experienced somewhere.
And if an asteroid broke through the glass dome over the earth in 1908 then how come all the gravity didn't leak out?
