Instead, the evidence that he has gathered was done with the most diligent attention to detail and scientific method. Charles Hapgood was one of the most unassuming and intelligent professors in recent history. Dr. Dr. Years from now he will finally be given the credit that he deserves. This book as well as "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" never go to far into fantastical, untested theories as some main stream scientist would have us believe. Hapgood proposes the most logical and likely hypotheses to the exhaustive research that he has done. This is, without a doubt, the most important book on geology that I have ever read.
This means that the whole crust of the earth shifts. This book is great, it' a must read for everybody who is interested in cycles of glacialization (ice ages). Hapgood logically builds his case, first he gives information about the modern geology, plate tectonics and climate science, then he follows with the apparent anomalies of the ice age theories and climate change. Etc).Then he delivers his theary: Polar shift. in geology).Prof. (you can check the facts: mammoths lived in Alaska, when parts of North America was covered by 3 km thick ice sheet.
Only the speed of the shifts are assumed different from Hapgood proposal).I am not a true believer, but there's something strange with the ice ages, and Hapgood gives an answer. Prof. If you think it is a science-fiction, check TPW (true-polar-wander, it is measured by many scientist today. Mammoths also lived in islands of the artic see, which are nearly uninhabited today. Mammoths can not live in a tundra it needs so called mammoth steppe. If you are open minded to new ideas, buy this book, it's not new (a few decades old), but it is full of interesting ideas, full of references and full of science (don't be afraid, the book is readable without having a Ph.D.
Hapgood has an other book about this topic "Earth shifting Crust", but it is rarely available, and very expensive, so dear publishers it is time for a new edition.
Hapgood writes clear and understandeble about the fantastic history of earth. Theories so scaring and fantastic that they are hardly credible. His arguments are so well documented that this book made me change my understanding of the making of our prersent world.
It throws new light on the ice age theorys as there has been no accepted explanation for them to date. This is a very thorough book about the current theory of how pole shifts happen. Hapgood is the formost expert on the theory of having the Earth crust shift instead of the poles moving. This is a good read and adds another peice to the puzzle of periodic catastrophy the Earth goes through due to presence of Planet X every 3600 years. A must read.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is well researched and well written.
Enjoyable and a great read. I really recommend this book to anyone interested in our past, geology, ancient civilizations and even dinosaurs.
A five star book. There isn't a dull portion in the book in the least.
It has it all. Explore the mysteries of our past.
I enjoyed this book and consider it a classic. It is just that good.
