Charles Hutchins Hapgood (May 17, 1904 – December 21, 1982) [ 1 ] was an American college professor and author who became one of the best known advocates of the pseudo-scientific claim of a rapid and recent pole shift with catastrophic results.
The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesisis a pseudo-scientificclaim that there have been recent, geologically rapid shifts in the axis of rotationof Earth, causing calamities such as floods and tectonic events[1]or relatively rapid climate changes. There is evidence of precessionand changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time ...
Hapgood's book was met with skepticism due to its lack of evidence and reliance on polar shift. [101] [r] Hapgood acknowledged that his theory disregarded the text and some of the placement of land masses on the map.
Hancock suggests that in 10,450 BC, a major pole shift took place. Before then, Antarctica lay farther from the South Pole than today, and after then, it shifted to its present location. The pole-shift hypothesis hinges on Charles Hapgood's theory of Earth Crustal Displacement. [7]
While Plato's story explicitly locates Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean beyond the Pillars of Hercules, location hypotheses include Helike, Thera, Troy, and the North Pole. A 17th century artwork of Olof Rudbeck dissecting the world and revealing the secret location of Atlantis (which he believed to be hidden in Sweden).
Geomagnetic polarity during the last 5 million years (Pliocene and Quaternary, late Cenozoic Era). Dark areas denote periods where the polarity matches today's normal polarity; light areas denote periods where that polarity is reversed. A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's dipole magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic ...
Hagar's LaFerrari far outpaced the sales price of other cars up for sale at Barrett-Jackson Saturday. Those included a 2019 Ford GT for $880,000, a 1971 Ferrari GTB/4 Daytona Coupe for $506,000 ...
Hapgood's claims have been uncritically repeated by Erich von Däniken in support of ancient astronauts and by Graham Hancock in support of an advanced lost civilization. The map and polar shift were key plot elements in Allan W. Eckert's science fiction novel The HAB Theory. [126] [127] Piri Reis is a character in the Assassin's Creed franchise.
