Is The Earth Preparing To Flip?

Position #1 -- From the Yukon area of North America at about 80, 000 B.P. and moving east by 75,000 B.P to the Greenland Sea.

Position #2 -- From the Greenland Sea, starting at about 55,000 B.P. and then moving south-west by 50,000 B.P. towards what is now Hudson Bay.

Position #3 -- From the Hudson Bay area at about 17,000 P.P. and moving north to its present location by about 12,000 B.P. dpls.gif>

Charles Barkely says the world has already flipped.

"You know the world is off tilt, when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest basketball player is Chinese, and Germany doesn't want to go to war." -Charles Barkley

I'm speachless. How could I have been so thoughtless...

[Swordmaker]

Need at least three rolls of Reynolds for this theory. Will be wrapped totally, awaiting your proof.

Tin foil is not an effective remedy for this particular theory... you'll need an Ark. Might I suggest 300 cubits for the keel length?

The Hapgood theory was not originally related to the magnetic pole reversal..,

Thank you for correction. Do you happen to have links or references on the followups you've mentioned?

Does this mean I will be able to balance an egg on the tip of my nose more than once a year?

Not exactly, if I read your post correctly. Hapgood talked about the physical movement of the earth's axis. The north and south axis of the earth actually moved several thousand miles as the earth did a partial 'flip over'. His theory was that this movement was the cause of the ice ages, since the new regions that slid up above the artic circle then became fridgid. He didn't know the cause of this, never came up with a mechanism to explain it, though other researchers have tried to find a cause. The article talks about the last pole reversal of 750,000 years ago. This is in referrence to the magnetic poles far beneath our feet, not the physical axis about which the earth rotates. Interestingly, another researcher, Velikovsky, demonstrated in one of his books (Earth in Upheavel, IIRC) that there was a magnetic pole shift around 3000 BC (or something like that, I don't recall exactly). Pottery that had been fired in a kiln from ancient Greece showed a north-south orientation opposite of pottery fired today. (The pottery when it is cooked in a kiln to harden it captures the magnetic alignment of the earth during the process). Velikovsky and Hapgood, interestingly enough, were contemporaries, writting their books about the same time. And both were ignored, or worse, pillared by the mainstream scientific establishment.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply before posting.

Nothing like apocalyptic doom and gloom to set the stage for the war coverage. This article is nothing new, the Beeb just pulled it out now to make people feel bad.

Make sure to leave eye-holes, or else you won't see anything!

[frodolives]

Now what are we going to call Austrailia?

You left out Position #4 -- To a collective farm outside of Kirovograd on June 14th, 1971.

Hapgood came across his theory while studying ancient maps which showed the coastline of Antarctica. These maps, one of which is called the Piri map after the Turkish admiral, show the coastline even beneath the ice cap. It wasn't until we had satellites equipped with radar that we could see beneath the ice to understand where the rocky coastline really was. And yet these old maps were reasonably acuracte. And they dated back centuries, pre-Columbus. How did the mapmakers get this info? Hapgood surmised that the mapes were drawn before the ice cap was there, when the Antarctic was still surrounded by open water. And this could only have been if that region was somewhere warmer, someplace further north.

How about social security will it affect that?

[Cyclops08]

There is a key phrase in the article: [B]admittedly short time it has been monitored.[/B]

this could be quite normal, we just havent seen it yet.

[stands2reason]

It does weaken our ozone layer, though.

[GOPJ]

Let's play.

The aura surrounding vegetarians is causing the poles to reverse. Aura's of peace activist are purple and purple is the aura color that does the most damage.

To save the earth, citizens must eat meat and support the war...

Whereas SUV's cause global warming this has to be caused by some target of the environmentalists.. Maybe they'll pin it on nuclear power?

[Political Junkie Too]

Yeah!! Can we store the magnetic field in a lockbox to preserve it?
