MY THOUGHTS 

The history of the apocalypse is fantastic, insightful and a well-written book. It went in depth into different walks of life, ethnicity and religion. Catalin Negru was able to pull out major historical believes of the apocalypse. I wasn't expecting so much from this book but I have learnt a lot. While reading, I felt like I was time travelling. Maybe because I don't have a great background in the study of history.

I absolutely loved when Catalin discussed  Islamic eschatology not because I am a Muslim, maybe because I have been making plans to read the Quran in English from the beginning to the end as I did with the Bible. After reading this part of the book, my appetite to read the Quran increased.  Also, the Medieval scribe's exaggeration and myth that was used to emphasize the influence of the supernatural forces, God and the devil was another interesting part I read and was pleased with. I have earlier read some very old books about them. With that being said, the history of the Apocalypse broke the situation and events down in a manner that can help the reader understand better.

The history of the apocalypse also made mention of some events that are really touching. Putting myself in such a position made me really uncomfortable. An account was after  1350 when the European culture turned morbid; earth actually experienced hell. This book gives details of things that went down. I got emotional at this point.

This book also went a bit into slavery, which I think every black person like me should have a knowledge about. I was shocked when  I learnt that some  "people" in the time of old believed the blacks don't have a soul while some feel we are progenies of Cain. Lols

Another thing I think you will find interesting is the self-destructive apocalypse of the 3rd millennium.

Overall, I love this book. I absolutely recommend it.

I like to read and learn pretty much about anything. In the last decade, I focused mainly on religion, and all my efforts materialized in the book "A History of the Apocalypse."

Genoa (Italian, Genova) is a historical port city in northern Italy, the capital of the Region of Liguria. Genoa today, as a tourist attraction, is often shadowed by cities such as Rome or Venice, even though it has a long history as a rich and powerful trade centre. However, with its multitude of hidden gems behind cozy alleyways, excellent cuisine (notably fish and seafood), renovated old port, beautiful sights (including one of Europe's biggest aquariums), and its position as the European Capital of Culture in 2004 have made the birthplace of explorer Christopher Columbus an enticing place which is gradually becoming more included in the touristic market. With pastel-coloured terracotta-roofed houses, artistic churches, lovely seaside villas, and also several luxurious boutiques, Genoa is a must see if you want to experience the "quintessential" Italy.

 Genova was one of the places I visited this summer. I learned new things, I met new people and had fun. The sole aim of this series is to share with you photos from my 2018 summer trips. As I promised in a similar post; I will give a detailed post by 2019 on my trips (with the help of God). This will guide those who have intents of visiting these places make smart choices. For now, check out photos of me.
