The final part of this (long) book report series. We finish up Hapgood's thoughts on evolution and how the idea of repeating crustal displacements might fill some gaps in the understanding of the process, then move on to the final chapter for Hapgood's conclusion, and suggestions for future research.
We also read from some of the many notes and addendums following the main body of the book, including some correspondence and meetings with Einstein, work on the physics of the axial stability of a rotating sphere, and more.  There is a lot of great information in this section of the book, much of which we did not discuss. We really do recommend you all get a copy so you can read it for yourselves.   Get the Kindle version of the book here:

We continue exploring the fascinating information in Charles Hapgood's book, Path of the Pole, starting this week with a detailed look at pleistocene deposits in South America that contain enormous amounts of megafauna and, sometimes, human remains. In caves, valleys, and massive mud deposits, these fossil remains speak of a geologically recent catastrophic event. We then move on to Hapgood's discussion on the subject of evolution, and how his crustal displacement theory may help to fill in gaps in the explanatory power of natural selection and mutation.   Get the Kindle version of the book here:

Back to the book report! We had a great time in Egypt, and there are more Egypt episodes coming, but meanwhile we still have to complete Charles Hapgood's Path of the Pole.

This week we complete the section on mountain building, continental drift, and crustal composition, and move into chapter ten, which is about the extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna.   Executive Producer:
Annabel

Note: We are leaving for Egypt, this will be the last normal episode for a few weeks! In Part 7 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole, we continue the discussion of the mysteries of "orogenesis" or mountain building. What forces can cause the enormous uplifts of so much rock? What is the cause of the numerous "basalt plateaus", where enormous amounts of magma poured out from underground and covered hundreds of square miles in layers of basalt hundreds of feet thick? These questions and more are described in detail by Hapgood, in this week's episode.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1

Continuing our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole, we discuss the evidence that advances and retreats of the massive Pleistocene ice sheets in North America and Europe were apparently in opposition, such that whenever there was an advance in Europe, for example, there was a retreat of ice in North America, and vice versa. Hapgood points to this as evidence that these advances and retreats were not caused by global cooling or warming, but perhaps they may have been caused by lithosphere displacement. Near the end of the episode we start in on "orogenesis" or the process of mountain building, and the mysteries of how the world's enormous mountain chains came to be.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producers: Anne who Knits Peter Beebee Associate Executive Producers: Laura Coutu Bradley Justice Douglas Obie     Below are some excellent images of the fossil human footprints at White Sands, evidence that humans were in North America ~20ka, as provided by listener Greenman in an email we read in the last segment of the show.

Getting into the depths of the Path of the Pole in our ongoing book report. We talk about volcanism and its possible role in drastically affecting climate during catastrophic crustal shift periods, causing all the glacial and interglacial periods we see evidence for in the recent glaciation. Hapgood also details evidence showing the timeline of the advance, retreat, and complete disappearance of the last ice age, and how this timeline is very short, meaning the disappearance of the ice cannot be explained by standard slow-moving geological processes.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producers: Chandra Chell Philip Baklamov Matt Shy Peter Shell Zachariah Baker Associate Executive Producers: Chester Hunter Daniel Gandy Dave Cortes Patrick Hicks

Part 4 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole.  This week, we look at evidence for a warm arctic during the last ice age, with islands currently within the arctic circle showing evidence for much warmer climates in the late pleistocene. We also read about evidence from other key places around the world having climates that align with the hypothesis of a north pole at Hudson Bay.  Hapgood also briefly discusses Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings and the Oronteus Finaeus map.

Part 3 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole.  This week, we look at more evidence of past pole configurations different from the present, as well as evidence against the idea that in the past, the earth spent long periods of time with a uniformly warm or cold climate, which was one of the attempts to explain away evidence for warm climate flora and fauna in what are now polar regions, and evidence for polar conditions in what are now tropical and sub tropical areas.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producers: Andrew Ryan Randal Bruck

Part 2 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's book, The Path of the Pole. This week we cover more of Charles' ideas on how the crust may have moved catastrophically, as well as the possible evidence for drastically different arrangements of continents in the distant past, such as evidence for large glacial masses in what are now tropical areas in India and Africa.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producer: Michael Hale

After our interview with Maartin from MarioBuildreps about ancient sites possibly being aligned to previous north pole positions on the earth, we decided we should take a deep dive into Charles Hapgood's book, The Path of the Pole, and look at historical research into this topic. The second edition of this book, published in the 1970s, is over 50 years old at this point, and is a revised edition of the 1958 printing of the original work, Earth's Shifting Crust.  It's certain that geophysical science has progressed since then, but it is still worth looking at the state of the art at the time.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1
