Transcript

First a critic woman in the Aruba tribe in Africa bites on an iron nail day and night so she won't talk too much. Believe it or not. In a moment I'll tell you the story of a weird prophecy in architecture.

The architect who built the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Turnais Belgium in the year 1030 left a prophetic ornament on the structure. One of the pillars inside the church bears a sculptured likeness of the craftsman. Strangely enough it shows him in the act of tumbling.

The statue featured on the pillar was the work of his own hands. A short time after the figure was placed on the pillar, the architect accidentally toppled from a high scaffold and fell, or tumbled to his death.

Believe it or not.
