Carolina bays gouged into the ground at a magnetic reversal
Magnetic Reversals ^ | 28 Jul 09 | Robert W Felix

Posted on 07/29/2009 8:28:13 PM PDT by Fred Nerks

Is it just a coincidence that more than two million huge holes were gouged into the ground - all at the same time - about 12,000 years ago at a magnetic reversal?

Usually not more than 20 feet deep - which means that they were probably not formed by meteoric impacts - the holes range in size from one acre to several thousand acres, and measure up seven miles across.

Scientists estimate that there could be more than two million Carolina bays (sometimes under different names) spread across the United States from Florida to New Jersey to Texas.

I sure wouldn’t have wanted to be standing at ground zero when one of those holes was punched into the ground.

What created these giant paw prints in the ground?

Today, the general consensus is that these massive elliptical scars were somehow created by a comet or meteorite exploding above the earth.

But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Carolina bays were created at about the same time as the Gothenburg magnetic reversal. Besides, almost no meteorites have ever been found in the Carolinas.

I think those holes were blasted into the soil by millions of explosions in the sky, explosions triggered by the reversal (as I explain in Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps).

You can see these bays for yourself on Google Earth. If you look at the North Carolina/South Carolina region, then zoom in on an area about 18 miles southeast of Fayetteville, NC you’ll see more than 20 such depressions in a tiny area a mere 12 miles by 9 miles across.

Oral traditions passed down through many generations...I believe they were eye-witnesses. Aboriginal artists in Australia depict an impact event:

A snake came from the west, traveling high, and fell down into Wolfe Creek Crater. It made its home in the hole in the crater. This hole is not shallow — it goes down deep into the earth, all the way through to Red Rock on Sturt Creek. When rain falls the water rises up in the middle of the crater and you might sink down. Then the whole ground is soft and dangerous. One Kartiya already sank there. In the dry time it is safe to go down, the ground is hard there.

That’s beautiful as midcentury modern art. Very Jackson Pollock, but with a more evident structure.

Only members of a certain tribe can tell particular 'dream-time' stories, and only members of that tribe may paint the 'story' - this one sounds as if it's straight out of 'Worlds In Collision':

Artist's Story

People have been living in this area from long, long time ago. They didn't come from Africa , like Kartiyas (Whites) say. We bin already here. We started here. The land was flat first. Some people were living all around the area. They saw a big bright light come down from the sky, coming down like a ball of fire. It shook the ground. The people hid in a cave, because the ground shook real strong.

They saw dust coming up from the ground. When that settled down they were talking to each other. They didn't want to go closer where that thing fell. They never touched that area. The star that fell down was evil. It was an evil thing.

The flies came out of the hole and the snakes made their home at the crater. The flies were formed by the rain coming down to cool down the ball of fire. Then things started to change and there was plenty of bush meat to hunt.

(I never cease to wonder when I read that...we just don't take enough notice of the legends.)

thanks for the link, I enjoyed reading that previous article:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1843831/posts

I loved this one -

“After all, the “collective memory” of Neanderthals (ugly, hulking brutes, some larger than humans, found in caves, underground and “backwoods” resembles the ogres, dwarfs and giants of mythology.

“Also: Dinosaur bones, dinosaur tracks, and T Rex and raptor skulls certainly explain the worldwide similarly and descriptions of dragons in all cultures.”

I haven’t run the numbers, but if I remember correctly, even projectiles the size of a grain of sand moving at .7 to .9 C hit with the impact of multi megaton nukes. Destruction a little more dramatic than discussed in this article.

If I was a betting man my money would be on the one most recent global legendary cataclysmic event known as:

Noah’s Flood!

See www.creationscience.com for more on the hydroplate theory and all that is implied w/ it. Course you also must be willing to realize old age dating methods are highly called into question.

They all seem to be aligned pointing to an area just west of Lake Michigan.

UFO's using the Earth for a little target practice?

It took them a loooong time to refine their ray projectors to create proper crop circles.

Looks like God sneezed. That's the shrapnel (as an old cubicle mate used to call it).

Cheers!

Elliptical. But your typical entry wound is round, isn't it?
