Default Polar Shift & Earth's Crust

A New Look At Earth's Changing Past: The Polar Shift by Dan Eden

It began as a search for Atlantis. But Charles Hapgood's discovery of
our shifting planet is perhaps more profound. If his data is correct,
we've got to face some unsettling facts about our Earth's past and-- and
more importantly-- our future.

The "Shifting Poles Theory" was introduced by History Professor, Charles
H. Hapgood, whose fascination with geography and ancient maps led to his
re-discovery of the Piri Reis Map. This hand drawn Turkish naval map had
been gathering dust since the early 1500's, its significance unrealized.
On closer scrutiny, Hapgood observed evidence of spherical trigonometry
and a detailed knowledge of global geography-- including the coastline
of Antarctica at a remote time, when it was free of ice. The map had
been drawn just a few years after Columbus visited the Americas. The
cartographer, Admiral Piri Reis, described his world map as having been
drawn from "very old" reference maps. It appeared as if some ancient,
forgotten civilization had risen to these capabilities, and then had
disappeared. The identity of these ancient mariners begged to be discovered.

The most obvious place to look for such an old, yet advanced,
civilization was in the famous accounts of the lost continent, Atlantis,
described in somewhat vague, but realistic, commentary by the Greek
historian, Plato. Captain Jacques Cousteau concluded that Plato's
Atlantis was in the Mediterranean, near Greece. His underwater
explorations found evidence of extensive maritime trading and skilled
boat building, along with some artifacts dated to thousands of years
B.C. But no vast metropolis was found. Scholars called attention to the
utopian descriptions of Plato, who hinted that Atlantis was in the
"ocean" and "beyond the pillars of Hercules," known today as the
Straight of Gibraltar. And so tradition eventually placed Atlantis
somewhere on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

With the invention of deep submersibles, the bottom of the North and
South Atlantic have been mapped and their topography is now well known.
The history of these oceanic floors is preserved in a succession of lava
flows associated with the movement of tectonic plates. In other words,
we're pretty sure that there is no sunken continent on these ocean
floors. The same mapping has revealed recent changes in the habitable
areas along the oceanic coastlines. Stone structures and a pyramid lie
just off the coast of Bimany. Submerged forests have recently been found
off the coastline of America's Northwest. Petroglyphs in Hawaii, carved
into stone, are now covered by meters of the Pacific Ocean-- evidence of
a lower ocean level. So while there is yet no sunken Atlantis, there
does appear to be evidence of some dramatic changes to both the ocean
levels and climates in our planet's recent history.

Tom,

Fair use doesn't concern a nut job like him. He IS definitely MAD!
