Well it looks like the HAB site is down right as I decide to start this little thread on it. Figures. I read the HAB theory back when the book came out in 1976 and that prompted my search for the older work it was based off. Cataclysms of the Earth and that lead to an ever widening circle that has continued to persist to this day. I see or hear something in the News and turn to my friends in the know and say HAB stuff and chuckle. ========================================== Wikpedia ============================================ The HAB Theory was Eckert's second novel, but first major fiction publication, and had sold 150,000 copies by 1978.[2] The book was made available via demand printing in 2004, though this version appears to contain a number of typos indicating that it was produced from something a bit earlier than the final published draft. The novel's romantic sub-plot which today seems quite archaic, was consistent with similar storytelling threads of the mid 1970s and was in fact based on the author's own divorce. The novel borrows heavily from Brown's theory and book, which is that approximately every 6,000–7,000 years the Earth's polar ice caps become over-burdened with ice, creating such an imbalance in the planet's center of gravity, that the Earth's poles and the Earth's equator shift positions. The former poles are soon located somewhere between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, where the weight of the polar ice cap leaves a large circular depression and other dramatic geological changes occur as the huge quantity of water is released by the ice caps melting. Called "capsizing" in the novel the "rollover" takes place in a single day. Since the velocity of an object at the equator of the Earth is approximately 1,000 MPH (1,674 km/h), any such rapid change in rotational axis is a massive disturbance to everything from a grain of sand to a mountain or an ocean. Humans and their works in such an event would be as fallen leaves before a windstorm. The exception being two places on earth called "pivot points" which the book says can be calculated and further that prior civilizations had calculated them and placed long-term-surviving information at such points.[3] OOPARTS - "out of place artifacts" real-world scientific anomalies (flattened petrified forests in Nova Scotia, huge depressions in Hudson Bay and the Sahara Desert, ancient maps showing Antarctica's coastline free of ice, woolly mammoths found with un-swallowed food in their mouths) are presented as evidence of The HAB Theory's possible validity. These OOPARTS are interpreted to suggest that human civilizations have existed on earth many times, during intervals like the current 6,000 - odd years of recorded history only to disappear over and over in yet another "capsizing." Thus human civilizations rise from hunter/gatherer/shepherds to builders of cities and flying vehicles - only to see that civilization "rebooted" by the planet's repeated capsizing. Citing OOPARTS in support of an out-of-the-mainstream theory is a technique used in other works, including for example the well-known: Chariots of the Gods (1968) by Erich von Däniken in which they are interpreted as evidence that extraterrestrial civilizations visited pre-modern earth and influenced historic and pre-historic events. Imagining then trying to prevent an interesting end of the world scenario, is a well established plot-line in storytelling and fiction. Each tale will have unique dramatic twists. In The HAB Theory, another "capsizing" is overdue, perhaps delayed because the Southern polar ice cap is (by sheer coincidence), centered on top of a land continent, but nevertheless probable, because the Northern polar icecap is centered over the Arctic Ocean. ================================================ That's a start and I'll dig up my copies of both books for my next posting. Antikythera mechanism - Wikipedia Stuff like this that shouldn't exist according to modern mainstream thinking. Damn sure looks like machine work to me and not hammered out with 2 rocks And the damned Wooly Mammoths keep turning up with yellow butter cup flowers in their mouths. Fresh frozen by Birdseye Frozen foods is the only way this happens. Toss fresh live meat into a subzero freezer. Back later. BNW
Covina, California: Giant Olmec Head So in my reads I find this copy of Olmec Colossal head # 5 is right here not 30 miles from me and I've been driving past it most of the last 20 years. WTH. so it's on my things to do-see-visit in the next few weeks. BNW
Full text of "Earth's Shifting Crust" Charles Hapgood with introduction by Albert Einstein. Hmm if he thought it worthy of writing an introduction for.
Skippy !! old friend I see you found my little thread of doom and gloom. LOL I'll see if I can get TTS to spend some time here as well. Feel free to post up any of the stuff that just doesn't seem to fit. BNW
A search of turn of the century newspapers headlines pulls up a ton of stuff was shipped off to the Smithsonian but somehow never seems to arrive. Redirect Notice Giant Human Remains
8,000 clay statues covered in mud. The same layer of mud found nearly world wide that seems to have been washed into place some 7500 years ago. Love that number. Modern historians claim the cap stones were removed by salvagers for other buildings. I think this was the wash line of the last roll over and the waves ripped the capstones away at the same time the Sphinx was covered up to it's head line. Modem Egyptians just found it all laying around when they arrived. Same with all the carved statuary's. They damn sure didn't have high speed diamond tipped tools it would have taken to do the work we see. This stuff is HARD Just 2 steps down from Diamond. You can't do this with copper chisels and rocks. Ask any modern sculptor if he can copy this out of the same material. BNW
Now why cut this if you didn't intend to move it? Seriously big cut rocks. We can't do this now. Now just how does this get done. Can't get a feeler gauge between the stones. This stuff is all over the planet. From Peru to Italy. BNW
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love Donuts. People been standing up stones for a hell of a long time. Kilroy was here ? Carnac in France Lawn bowling rocks from Costa Rica Self Portraits ? Easter Island Nice hats dudes New I had no idea they were digging. Old, old from the weathering on the exposed Why and how place them under water? More fun stuff coming soon. We taint even got started yet. BNW
