An 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' fan theory on the show's timeline fills all the gaps

The user explained his theory through a timeline which covered the events before and during the Apocalypse along with one representing Myrtle Snow's death and resurrection

'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' is getting more interesting with every passing episode and we're being led closer to the Apocalypse. However, the show has also left us puzzled about the timeline of certain events. The entire timeline is centered around a nuclear holocaust that is set to happen around 2020. Fans have deduced that either there is a flaw in the series' timeline or there is a plot hole that needs to be filled in.

Although, according to one of those well-constructed fan theories, neither seems to be the case. In a theory presented by a Reddit user, 'agoodleatherjacket' presented followers with two flowcharts marking the event of the 'American Horror Story' series in a way to explain that the timeline of the series is not correct in itself, reported ComicBook. According to the user, the apocalypse in Apocalypse is not hinting towards the falling of the bombs, but something else.
