The 1955 edition read "almost four thousand years ago"; in all subsequent Urantia Foundation printings, "four" was changed to "forty". ."Forty" does appear to be correct (see (119:7.2)). The statement that the bestowal school college "was established four thousand years ago, immediately after the announcement by Michael that Urantia had been chosen as the world for his final bestowal" is not in accord with another passage at 119:7.2, which states that Michael announced that he had selected Urantia as the theater for his final bestowal more than 35,000 years ago.

Original Paragraph:

^{P486:5, 43:1.6} The Melchizedeks also maintain two special colleges on Edentia. One, the emergency school, is devoted to the study of problems growing out of the Satania rebellion. The other, the bestowal school, is dedicated to the mastery of the new problems arising out of the fact that Michael made his final bestowal on one of the worlds of Norlatiadek. This latter college was established almost four thousand years ago, immediately after the announcement by Michael that Urantia had been selected as the world for his final bestowal.
