Pole Shift – more than theory
I have studying the probability of shifting poles for some 25 years now when I first read a book by Charles Hapgood called ‘Path of the Pole. (first edition 1970)
In this book Hapgood forwarded the plausibility that periodically the Poles move out of position. This is to say that poles ‘slip’ into other areas and then melt while new ice poles form. Hapgood suggests that these occurrences are our ice ages with the last ‘shift’ happening 13500bp – a date that ties in with the global flood and the end of the last ‘ice age’.
This August another book on the subject came out called ‘Doomsday – Just Ahead’ written the Edinburgh based academic, Ian Weir Rankin. This book has got the scientific world talking seriously about Pole Shifts as periodic events, with Rankin recently interviewed by the BBC. Rankin agrees with the Hapgood theory that was previously dismissed as nonsense. He further goes on to ‘prove’ that it does occur and is about to occur once more. He gives a date of 2030. His proof lies in dating alluvia from these catastrophes among many other geophysical sign posts. His dating suggests that the last Pole Shift did occur some 13500bp with regular shifts equally dated from before, such as 27000bp and so on with ‘mini shifts’ in between that he puts down to variations in magnetic north. Rankin feels that magnetic north is once more moving fast and pulling the earth with it. Eventually such a momentum will be built up that the whole earth will simply shift taking only a day or two to move. This he say’s will cause instant freezing in temperate areas, global flooding coupled with massive volcanic activity.
It would be interesting to know if any other countries are studying this at an academic level?
I always like to be cheerful!
Best wishes,
John.
