	080	A junior high school history textbook. RITSUKO (OFF):“Right. In the history textbooks, it's a catastrophe that was caused by the fall of a massive meteorite.”	Dr. Nick: ADV's old home video releases of Evangelion actually used a curious method of hard-subbed overlays on top of certain text-heavy shots such as this. Perhaps owing to the less than stellar image quality of that era, some viewers didn't even realize it was an American edit and were left wondering why these Japanese kids were using English-language schoolbooks. I've seen this happen on the forums. ADV's translation of this page can be found here, in its full image-glory (plus some translator's footnotes). (For those who, for whatever reason, cannot load the picture, click the "Additional Commentary" tag below.) Additional Commentary   Dr. Nick: Second Impact and the World Afterwards 1. Second Impact In the final year of the 20th century on Septmeber 13. 2000 a massive meteorite fell on Mt Markham in Antarctica. More than two billion people in he southern hemisphere were immediately killed by the tsunami and rising water levels caused by the melted ice. This was the worst disaster mankind had faced in recorded History 2. Upheaval in the Northen Hemisphere The Nations of the Northern Hemisphere also suffered severe damage from the flooding and chaos ensued. Two days after the fall of the meteorite on September 15. 2000, collisions between refugees sparked a war on the India-Pakistan border, and armed conflicts began all over the world. On September 20. an N-Bomb was dropped on Tokyo and 500 000 perople were killed. Until the Valentine Cease Fire was signed on Febuary 14. 2001, hostilities continued all over the world. 3. Transferring Second Tokyo The Temporary Government of Japan gave up on restoring the Toko that had been destroyed by the N-Bomb, and the decision was made to transfer the capital to Masumoto City in Nagano. Construction of Tokyo 2 began in 2001. Redevelopment proceeded rapidly and by early 2003, Tokyo was fufilling its functions as the capital. In 2005 a second transfer was approved by Congress. Tokyo 3 is currently being built in Fuji-Hakone. 1. First Impact This is also called the Giant Impact, a collision between a meteorite and Earth that resulted in the creation of the Moon. It is believed to of happened 4 billion years ago 2. Fall of a Massive Meteorite The object which fell on Antarctica was less than 4 inches in diameter, a very small meteorite. However with an enormous velocity of 95% of the speed of light, its effective mass was more than 4.52 times squared to the 10th. Fifteen minutes before its impact, it was sighted by the Mexican Astonomer Ceimoa Nan. (picture of Nan) Ceimoa Nan (1971~) Translation Notes: "N-bomb" should be "a new type of bomb". "Ceimoa Nan" should be "Seymour Nunn".
