The Pole Shift Theory is a hypothesis that suggests the Earth’s rotational axis or its magnetic poles could undergo a rapid and significant shift, leading to dramatic changes in the planet’s geography, climate, and environment. This theory has been explored in both scientific and pseudoscientific contexts, often leading to confusion between two distinct concepts: geomagnetic pole shifts and geographic pole shifts.
The first concept, geomagnetic pole shift, refers to a change in the Earth’s magnetic field, where the magnetic north and south poles swap places. This phenomenon, known as a magnetic pole reversal, has occurred many times in Earth’s history, as evidenced by geological records such as magnetic minerals in rocks. These reversals are gradual processes that take place over thousands of years and are not directly linked to catastrophic events. While a magnetic pole reversal could temporarily weaken the Earth’s magnetic field, increasing exposure to solar radiation, it is not expected to cause immediate harm to life on Earth.
The second concept, geographic pole shift, involves a shift in the Earth’s rotational axis, causing the geographic north and south poles to move to new locations. This phenomenon, known as True Polar Wander, occurs due to changes in the distribution of mass within the Earth, such as melting ice sheets, tectonic activity, or mantle convection. True Polar Wander is a slow process that happens over millions of years, but some theories propose that it could occur more rapidly under certain conditions, potentially leading to significant climatic and geological changes. In pseudoscientific and apocalyptic scenarios, a rapid geographic pole shift is often linked to catastrophic events like earthquakes, tsunamis, and extreme climate shifts.
From a scientific perspective, magnetic pole reversals are well-documented and occur periodically, but a rapid geographic pole shift is not supported by mainstream science. True Polar Wander happens very slowly over millions of years, and there is no credible evidence to support the idea of a sudden, catastrophic pole shift. While a magnetic pole reversal might affect navigation systems and increase radiation exposure, it would not directly threaten life on Earth. A geographic pole shift, if rapid, could theoretically alter climates and geography, but such an event is highly unlikely.
The idea of a pole shift has been popularized in books, movies, and conspiracy theories, often tied to predictions of global disasters. For example, the work of Charles Hapgood in the 1950s proposed that shifts in the Earth’s crust could explain ancient climate changes, but his theories lack strong scientific support. In summary, while the Earth’s poles do shift over long timescales, the idea of a sudden, catastrophic pole shift is not supported by current scientific evidence.
Hollywood
2012 (2009): This disaster film depicts a scenario where a pole shift causes catastrophic global events, including earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. While the film doesn’t delve into the scientific details of a pole shift, it uses the concept as a catalyst for widespread destruction.
The Core (2003): In this science fiction thriller, the Earth’s core stops rotating, causing the magnetic field to collapse. The protagonists must embark on a mission to restart the core and save the planet from solar radiation. Although not a direct depiction of a pole shift, the film explores the consequences of a weakened or unstable magnetic field.
Polar Storm (2009): This made-for-television movie revolves around a comet fragment impacting Earth and triggering a polar reversal storm. The film portrays the potential dangers of electromagnetic pulses and their impact on technology and human survival.
Polar Opposites (2008): This TV movie features a scientist who predicts a pole shift and has to team up with his estranged friend to try and save the world from the consequences. It focuses on the idea of the magnetic poles reversing and the potential dangers that could arise.
Survive (2024): This recent release is rumored to involve a pole shift causing the oceans to retreat and submerge landmasses. It seems to be a survival thriller focusing on the characters’ struggle to adapt to the changed environment.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004): While this film primarily focuses on abrupt climate change, it does feature some scenes that could be interpreted as related to magnetic shifts or disruptions. There are instances of unusual weather patterns and electromagnetic disturbances that might hint at a larger geophysical event.
Various B-movies and direct-to-video releases: Over the years, there have been numerous low-budget disaster films that have incorporated elements of pole shifts or magnetic reversals into their plots. These films often fly under the radar but might be worth exploring if you’re interested in seeing how the concept has been portrayed in different contexts.
The Frozen Woolly Mammoth
In August of 1900, in the vast frozen plains of northeastern Siberia, just across the Bering Strait from Alaska, a hunter named Ewene Tarabykin was tracking an elk. As he walked along the banks of the Beryozovka River, he came across a most incredible sight. There, sticking out of the ice, was the carcass of an enormous wooly mammoth, unexpectedly uncovered after more than 40,000 years.
Shocked by his find, the simple hunter moved quickly to inform local authorities. From Siberia, it took almost a year for the message to make its way to the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, some 3,000 miles away, but when it did, an expedition was immediately rushed to the site. What this expedition found when it got there stunned all involved.
Despite being tens of thousands of years old, the mammoth was astonishingly well preserved, its chestnut hair still matted on the carcass, like it had been “frozen in time.” Moreover, its mouth was filled with food “which had been cropped, but not chewed and swallowed,” “the imprint of the animal’s molars” left like an ancient record in the blades of grass.
When scientists began to examine the carcass more closely, they found something even more amazing. The animal’s stomach was filled with undigested food, swallowed, but without enough time to start the process of digestion. It was, according to one scientist, as if the mammoth had been “overwhelmed suddenly with a rapid deep freeze and instant death.”
But there was something even more bizarre – the food itself. The mammoth’s stomach contained over 40 different species of plants, many of which simply did not exist in Siberia, not then, nor at any time in the past. These were warm weather plants, the kind you find growing today in Mexico.
This remarkable find added to what other scientists had discovered when examining mammoths uncovered in the decades prior. Quite simply, the wooly mammoth was not a cold weather animal. It did not have the thick fur found on other Arctic animals, nor the glands in its skin that produce oils which protects against the cold. As the Smithsonian Institution put it in 1919, “It appears impossible to find any argument in favor of adaptation to the cold.”
So why were these mammoths being found in the coldest places on Earth? Some scientists had an answer – the wooly mammoth didn’t live in an arctic climate. Rather, they must have lived somewhere warm which somehow got very cold, very quickly.
Could this really be possible? And if so, how?
Charles Hapgood’s Polar Shift Theory
For much of his career, Charles Hapgood did not stand out in any great way from other academics of his time. He received a master’s degree from Harvard in 1929, before moving into a quiet life teaching anthropology, economics, and the history of science at colleges across the United States. That is, until the late-1940s, when Hapgood would serendipitously stumble across something which would dramatically alter his career, and his life.
It started when a student in one of his classes asked a seemingly harmless question about the lost continent of Atlantis. Hapgood decided it would be fun to investigate this question with his students. But when they did, they began to uncover information they were not expecting, geological and astrological evidence which to Hapgood seemed to suggest the unthinkable.
By the mid-1950s, Hapgood had amalgamated this evidence into a stunning theory – called the shifting poles theory, or, more dramatically, the cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis.
According to Hapgood, a pole shift is when the entire surface of the earth suddenly moves as one solid piece over the layers of liquid rock that make up the earth’s core. The illustrative analogy most often used today is that of a loose peel moving around an orange.
Note, this is not the same thing as continental drift, a well-established factor where moving plate tectonics move the earth’s land masses apart. Rather, Hapgood’s pole shift referred to the earth’s geographic poles, those physical points on the earth’s surface which are intersected by its axis of rotation. A geographic pole shift meant a change in the location of these poles, and thus the physical position of locations on Earth.
Take an orange and pretend it’s a globe; draw a dot on it about where you live, then rotate the orange peel to a new location. Where are you now? This is a geographic pole shift.
Remember the discovery of wooly mammoths in the coldest places on Earth, their bodies not suited to the climate, their stomachs filled with warm weather plants. Perhaps they were living much closer to the equator before a pole shift took them suddenly into the Arctic, freezing them so fast they could not even finish chewing their food.
Scientists Supporting The Polar Shift Theory
Interestingly, many years before Hapgood, scientists studying the earliest wooly mammoth remains dabbled with just such an hypothesis.
In the late-1700s, French naturalist George Cuvier argued that life “has been often disturbed on this earth by terrible events – calamities which, at their commencement, have perhaps moved and overturned to a great depth the entire outer crust of the globe.” In 1847, a Danish intellectual named Frederik Klee proposed a periodic “deplacement au l’axe du globe” – a displacement of the earth’s spin axis, or polar shift – which meant that warm weather animals found in the Arctic had lived there when it was nowhere near the North Pole. In 1866, Sir John Evans, the President of Britain’s Geological Society, published a paper titled “On a possible cause of changes in the position of the axis of the earth’s crust,” which sought to explain the warm weather animals found in the Arctic, again, through a polar shift.
Yet, these ideas did not gain any traction and were gradually pushed aside by mainstream science … until the work of Charles Hapgood.
In 1958, Hapgood published The Earth’s Shifting Crust, laying out his theory and evidence. The book caused quite a stir, with many in the scientific community calling Hapgood’s theories pseudoscientific at best, and ridiculous at worst.
Yet, despite this opposition, Hapgood was not alone with his theories. While creating his book, Hapgood was collaborating with none other than Albert Einstein. In fact, by the time it was published, Einstein had been such a big part of the process that he wrote the book’s forward.
“The very first communication that I received from Mr. Hapgood electrified me,” Einstein wrote in 1954, asserting that Hapgood’s pole shift theory was “…of great importance to everything that is related to the history of the earth’s surface.” To other scientists, he insisted, “I think that the idea of Mr. Hapgood has to be taken quite seriously.”
Ancient Cites Aligned to the North Pole
Perhaps the most compelling evidence Hapgood presented in The Earth’s Shifting Crust were calculations indicating that the location of the North Pole had shifted three times over the last 80,000 years – to its current location from a spot in Hudson Bay about 12,000-17,000 years ago; to Hudson Bay from an area in the Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Norway 50,000-55,000 years ago; and to this position from a spot in the Yukon 75,000-80,000 years ago. Interestingly, in showing this, Hapgood unintentionally provided an explanation for one of the longest standing archaeological mysteries on Earth.
We know that many of the great ancient sites around the world are laid out to reflect the procession of the stars above with such incredible precision that modern scientists ask how ancient civilizations could have been capable of such things. Yet, despite this near impossible precision, many of the sites are angled a few degrees off of the North Pole. How, scientists ask, could ancient civilizations have done such advanced calculations to lay out these sites, but messed up the easiest part?
Using Hapgood’s three purported pole shifts, researchers discovered something incredible. Sites like Stonehenge and the Aztec capital of Teotihuacan were aligned perfectly to the North Pole, if the North Pole was in Hapgood’s proposed Hudson Bay location. Sites like Chichen Itza and the 400-ton Baalbek stones in Lebanon were aligned perfectly to the Norway/Iceland pole, two pole shifts ago. Further, sites like the Great Pyramid at Giza, Angkor Wat, Easter Island, and Machu Picchu were all located along one line, a line which would have been the equator three pole shifts ago.
Could these ancient sites have been constructed at a time when the earth’s poles were in a different location? Consider that often the ruins we know today were built on top of even more ancient sites. Does the apparent misalignment of these ancient sites in modern times prove Hapgood’s theory?
Whether it does or doesn’t, the idea that the earth’s geographic poles have shifted in the past does not rely on ancient sites for proof. Rather, that has been given by modern science.
Modern Science Behind the Polar Shift Theory
In 2018, a study published in Geophysical Research Letters used geographical data to show that the earth’s poles were in a different spot between 48 million and 12 million years ago. To do so, researchers analyzed “hotspots” on the ocean floor where magma seeps through the earth’s crust. As the earth’s tectonic plates move over these hotspots, a path is left in the wake. By examining this path, researchers determined how the hotspots had moved, and from this, how the earth’s poles had moved in the distant past. They called this movement “true polar wander,” but one might simply call it true polar shift.
Then, in late-2021, another study published in Nature Communications concluded that the earth had “capsized” in the distant past. By examining limestone from Italy for magnetic “footprints” left in the rock, researchers determined that the earth had tilted around 12 degrees some 84 million years ago, before righting itself and returning to its original position millions of years later. As a press release which accompanied the study succinctly put it, “scientists have found more evidence that Earth tips over from time to time.”
So, if it is now established that polar shifts have happened in the past, then the question becomes, how? What causes the earth to ‘tip over’ from time to time?
What Causes Polar Shifts?
In The Earth’s Shifting Crust, Hapgood and Einstein proposed an answer. They speculated that the accumulation of ice at the earth’s poles would destabilize the earth’s rotation – too much ice and the earth will, in effect, tip over. As Einstein explained in the forward to the book,
“In a polar region there is a continual disposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth’s rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses, and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced this way will, when it reaches a certain point, produce movement of the earth’s crust over the rest of the earth’s body, and this will displace the polar regions towards the equator.”
Despite this initial speculation, Einstein and Hapgood had doubts that the weight of accumulating ice would be sufficient to precipitate a move of the earth’s crust. They continued to correspond regularly, working through the problem right up until Einstein’s death.
Before he died, the men had come to a conclusion. As Einstein wrote, “Without a doubt the earth’s crust is strong enough not to give way proportionately as the ice is deposited.” That is to say, the buildup of ice at the poles would be insufficient to cause a polar shift. Instead, the men came to believe that it must be some sort of “causative forces below the surface” of the earth which precipitated polar shift, a theory presented by Hapgood in his 1970 book The Path of the Pole. What these causative forces were, Hapgood and Einstein were unsure.
It was not just the question of how pole shifts happened which perplexed them, but how fast. Throughout Hapgood’s work, he vacillated back and forth between the belief that pole shifts happened instantaneously, and the possibility that they could take much longer, on one hand using words like “astonishing suddenness” and “cataclysm,” while at the same time, “centuries” and “millennia,” often on the very same page.
In modern times, the scientists who have shown that polar shifts have happened in the past speak about it happening over thousands or even millions of years. Yet, a shift this slow does not explain the apparently flash frozen wooly mammoths.
Could it actually happen much faster?
Immanuel Velikovsky’s Polar Shift Theory
Immanuel Velikovsky was a Russian-born psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who, upon his death in 1979, The New York Times called “a man of extraordinary talents.” Born in 1895, Velikovsky received a medical degree from the University of Moscow in 1921, before moving to Israel and helping to found the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. By 1940, he had moved to the United States, his natural curiosity leading him to an intensive study of seemingly overlapping disasters recorded in ancient manuscripts and artifacts from all over the world. In 1950, he published Worlds in Collision, in which he presented the spectacular conclusion of this study.
Around the 15th century BCE, Velikovsky wrote, Venus emerged from Jupiter as a comet. This comet closely passed the Earth, a near miss which changed the earth’s orbit and axis, causing an instant pole shift of 10 degrees or more. 52 years later, having made its journey around the sun, the comet passed Earth again, with similar results. The comet would then settle into a stable orbit, becoming the planet we know as Venus today, but not before a near miss with Mars displaced that planet from its orbit, causing Mars to make a close approach to Earth in both the 8th and 7th centuries BCE.
According to Velikovsky, each of these near misses resulted in catastrophes which were recorded in the mythologies of early civilizations around the world, as in, for example, the biblical story of the parting of the Red Sea. In other words, pole shifts happen instantaneously, and with disastrous consequences.
When Worlds in Collision was released, many in the scientific community portrayed Velikovsky as a crackpot. Despite this, the book became a New York Times bestseller, topping the charts for 11 weeks in a row. Furthermore, there was at least one mainstream scientist willing to engage with Velikovsky’s work – Albert Einstein.
As with Charles Hapgood, Einstein had many long discussions with Velikovsky about his theories. While Einstein was skeptical, he did not write off Velikovsky completely, and in fact supported parts of his theory. In 1946, four years before the book would officially be published, Einstein wrote,
“There is much of interest in the book which proves that in fact catastrophes have taken place which must be attributed to extraterrestrial causes. However it is evident to every sensible physicist that these catastrophes can have nothing to do with the planet Venus.”
As he said more succinctly in 1954, “I can say in short: catastrophes yes, Venus no.”
Is it really possible that a series of earth-shattering catastrophes are recorded in the myths of the ancients all over the world? And is it possible that these catastrophes could have been caused by an instantaneous shift in the earth’s poles?
If so, well then maybe these pole shifts explain the most mysterious ancient catastrophe of all…
Polar Shift Destroying Atlantis?
Charles-Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg was born in a small town near Dunkirk, France in 1814. As a young man, he became a noted writer in the French literary scene, but as he neared his 30th birthday, he wanted more. He moved to Rome, where in 1845 he was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest. From there, he promptly set off across the Atlantic Ocean to become a professor of ecclesiastical history in Quebec, Canada. Soon though, his thirst for adventure got the better of him, and he headed south to Mexico and Central America as a missionary.
Really, “missionary” may not be the right word for it. In Mexico and Central America, de Bourbourg would act as an archaeologist, an ethnographer, an historian, traveling extensively through the region and becoming a world-renowned specialist in Mesoamerican studies. Much of his success can be attributed to de Bourbourg’s purportedly “legendary” ability to track down rare manuscripts. This ability led him to the discovery of the long-lost Codex Chimalpopopca, a document which de Bourbourg believed contained an amazing, paradigm shifting story.
According to de Bourbourg, the ancient text described a period of four cataclysms beginning in 10,500 BCE, each brought about by a shifting of the earth’s geographic poles. But it went further than that. In his seminal 1872 work Chronologie Historique des Mexicains, de Bourbourg described how this ancient text told of an advanced civilization that existed before those in Europe or Asia, which was destroyed during this period of cataclysms. The ancient text was, according to de Bourbourg, a history of the destruction of the mythical continent of Mu, understood today to be one and the same as the lost continent of Atlantis.
Could this ancient text really be a history of the Atlanteans?
Building on the work of de Bourbourg and his cataclysms, Charles Hapgood believed he was able to put the pieces together. Atlantis didn’t sink, he argued, but rather, a rapid pole shift must have moved the advanced civilization of Atlantis from wherever it was to a much colder area. The Atlanteans would have been like the wooly mammoths, flash frozen and buried under the ice.
For Hapgood, the perfect candidate for the lost continent of Atlantis then was obvious – Antarctica, a continent buried under ice. But Hapgood had more than speculation. In fact, he came armed with one of the most incredible artifacts in world history.
The Piri Reis Map & Atlantis
In 1465, Piri Reis was born in the historic seaport of Gallipoli in Ottoman Turkey. He would, over the next 90 years of his life, become no less than one of the most influential maritime figures in human history.
He began his career sailing alongside his uncle, a notorious pirate and later an admiral in the Ottoman Turkish navy, participating in many naval battles, until, after his uncle died suddenly during a storm in 1511, Piri Reis returned to Gallipoli and began what would truly become his life’s work – the study of navigation.
In 1521, Reis put the finishing touches on The Book of Navigation, known as “one of the early geographical masterpieces.” The book would serve as a guide to captains in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas for 300 years. And yet, it was not the most incredible thing Piri Reis produced during his career. No, that came years earlier, in 1513, when Piri Reis put together the most detailed map of the world ever created at that time.
He constructed it using 20 different maps and charts as his source documents – eight Ptolemaic maps from 2nd century Greece, four Portuguese maps, one Arabic map, and even one map drawn by Christopher Columbus himself during his journey to the New World only 20 years prior. As one inscription on the map simply put it, “No one now living has seen a map like this.”
Despite being one of the most incredible documents human beings had ever produced, the Piri Reis map was eventually lost to history, forgotten about for hundreds of years. That is, until 1929, when it was rediscovered almost entirely by chance.
In that year, the Turkish government commissioned German theologian Gustav Deissmann to look through old, disregarded documents collecting dust at the Library of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. While doing so, Deissmann stumbled across a small piece of gazelle skin parchment which, when unfurled, revealed about one-third of the historic Piri Reis map, showing the western coasts of Africa and Europe, the eastern coast of Brazil, and various islands in the Atlantic in meticulous detail. The discovery caused an “international sensation,” as copies were immediately acquired by scientists, researchers, and naval experts all over the world.
Among those who obtained a copy was Charles Hapgood. As he examined the map, he began to notice remarkable, almost unbelievable features.
First, the map displayed an extraordinary knowledge of global geography, most specifically, a precise representation of the South American coastline. How was this possible? Christopher Columbus had only ventured to the New World a few years before the map had been made, and even then, he had only been to the Caribbean; he had not sailed to South America. The existence of the South American coast on the Piri Reis map suggested that Columbus himself had access to additional local maps which showed him these things.
Even more incredibly, the map showed the continent of Antarctica when it was free of ice. How was this possible, considering Antarctica was not officially discovered until 1773, 260 years after the creation of the Piri Reis map? Moreover, the last time Antarctica was free of ice was over 6,000 years ago. This suggested that the source maps Columbus used must be at least that old.
The Legendary Piri Reis Map Explained
With this in mind, Charles Hapgood noticed something truly stunning. Upon closer examination, it was clear that the map was using advanced spherical trigonometry in its measurements, a technique unavailable in the West until the 18th century. Prior to that point, it was impossible to determine a ship’s latitude in the Southern Hemisphere, since the only known method for doing this involved sighting the North Star, which can’t be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. Yet, somehow the Piri Reis map had accurate latitude measurements in the Southern Hemisphere. This meant that whatever local source maps Columbus had access to, those who made them had an understanding of spherical trigonometry.
Again, Charles Hapgood put the pieces together in his 1966 book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. The reason that these ancient maps were so advanced, according to Hapgood, was that they must have come from a super advanced ancient civilization – Atlantis. Antarctica was shown free of ice in such impeccable detail, Hapgood argued, because this was where the Atlanteans called home.
In other words, Antarctica is Atlantis; the ancient civilization destroyed when a rapid pole shift sent unsuspecting Atlanteans to the South Pole, burying them like the mammoths under miles of ice.
Could this really be possible? Could the lost continent of Atlantis really be buried under the ice in Antarctica?
Well, according to modern science, at least one thing is for sure – something is buried under there.
Mysterious Discoveries in Antarctica
In 2016, 3D maps from NASA’s Operation IceBridge appeared to show traces of human settlement buried a mile beneath the ice in Antarctica, “gigantic underground constructions,” some the size of the Eifel Tower. That same year, Google Earth images showed what appeared to be a massive pyramid poking out of the Antarctic tundra. The next year, satellite images revealed a “mysterious dome structure” of “concentric ovals” 400 feet across, and again, in 2020, Google Earth images appeared to show a tall, “disc-like” structure standing on top of the ice.
Ancient Antenna Found At the Bottom of Antarctica’s Sea: Eltanin Antenna
As one scientist put it, these were the type of things “…that if you see it anywhere in the world, you immediately say ’that is definitely manmade’. We’re in the middle of the Antarctic, so what in the world is that doing there?”
In 2021, NASA uncovered perhaps the most unusual discovery of all, “a vast network of subterranean waterways hidden beneath 1.2 to 2.5 miles of ice,” which seemed to be “connected to the whole Earth.” Could this be a water system used by whoever left behind the mysterious structures? Could it be the Atlanteans?
There is perhaps a more pressing question which can be asked here. That pole shifts have happened in the past is established, and many have compiled evidence suggesting the effects of such shifts – historical events like the parting of the Red Sea, flash frozen mammoths, even perhaps the utter annihilation of an advanced ancient civilization.
The real question is, if these things happened before, could they happen again?
Edgar Cayce’s Prediction for a Polar Shift
On March 18, 1877, in tiny Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Edgar Cayce was born into a simple, pious life common in that place at that time. One day at the age of 9, however, Cayce would have an experience which would end that simple life forever.
While sitting in his favorite spot in the forest reading the bible, he suddenly came face to face with an angelic winged woman with a musical voice. “Your prayers have been heard,” she said to young Edgar, “Tell me what you would like most of all, so that I may give it to you.”
“Most of all,” he replied, “I would like to be helpful to others and especially to children when they are sick.”
Shortly after this astounding experience, Cayce was playing a schoolyard game when he was struck in the back by a ball and suffered a spinal injury which left him in shock. As he slept that night, his parents watching over him, he abruptly began to recite ingredients for a poultice which he claimed would heal him. His parents, with nothing to lose, made the poultice and applied it. When Cayce awoke, he was miraculously healed, and yet, he remembered nothing he’d said during the night.
This was the first instance of Edgar Cayce’s extraordinary talent. It turned out that while in a sleeping, trance-like state, Cayce could diagnose and suggest treatment for illnesses and injuries with “astonishing accuracy,” both for himself and for others. By 1910, The New York Times was reporting on Cayce, proclaiming, “illiterate man becomes doctor when hypnotized.”
But there was more. While in this trance-like state, Cayce was able to answer questions about things which had happened, and things yet to take place. In other words, Cayce was not only able to make medical diagnoses while he was asleep, he was able to predict the future. For this reason, Edgar Cayce became known as “The Sleeping Prophet.”
Over his 40-year career, Cayce gave readings to many thousands of people, including such luminaries as Marylin Monroe, Harry Houdini, Thomas Edison, and Woodrow Wilson. No wonder that at the time of his death The Washington Post called him “the 20th-century’s most famous psychic.” And make no mistake, Cayce’s prophesies, much like his medical diagnoses, were often ‘astonishingly accurate.’
In early-1929, Cayce warned of “a great disturbance in financial circles,” which was imminent, accurately predicting the stock market crash which only a few months later would lead to the Great Depression. In 1935, he foresaw an alliance between Germany, Japan, and Austria, which would result in the whole world being “set on fire,” accurately predicting World War II. He correctly predicted that two US presidents would die while in office – FDR and JFK – and spoke numerous times about the Dead Sea Scrolls years before they had even been discovered. Again and again, Cayce was correct about issues of great significance, leading some to call him “the most notable mystic since Nostradamus.”
In the 1930s, Cayce began to make a series of predictions which became known simply as “Earth Changes.” These ‘changes’ referred broadly to a series of cataclysmic events which would alter human life on Earth. Crucially, these changes would be precipitated, according to Cayce, by a shift of the earth’s poles, and the results would be catastrophic.
“The Earth will be broken up in many places. The early portion will see a change in the physical aspect of the west coast of America. There will be open waters appear in the northern portions of Greenland. There will be new lands seen off the Caribbean Sea, and dry land appear. South America shall be shaken from the uppermost portion to the end, and in the Antarctic off Tierra del Fuego, land, and a strait with rushing waters.”
“The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in a twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the east coast of America. There will be upheavals in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the Torrid areas.”
Cayce even provided a map of what the earth would look like as these shocking changes took place.
During one reading, Cayce revealed that this period of cataclysms would begin in 2000 or 2001, when a “new cycle begins.” We are now over 20 years past Cayce’s deadline, so it seems that on this prediction at least, ‘The Sleeping Prophet’ was wrong.
Or was he …
The Next Polar Shift Event
In 2001, scientists began to notice something bizarre happening to the earth’s magnetic pole; it was moving an at unexpectedly rapid rate.
The earth’s magnetic pole is not the same as the geographic pole referred to by Hapgood. The magnetic pole is the force that makes a compass work; it is not fixed and is constantly moving. Scientists even say that it has shifted as much as 180 degrees in the past.
And yet, since 2001, it has been moving “faster than anticipated,” so quickly, in fact, that it is starting to mess up modern navigation equipment. Unbelievably, scientists are now estimating the earth’s magnetic pole will move between 250-400 miles over the next decade alone. Think about it, if you use a compass to walk north ten years from now, it will take you to a place hundreds of miles away from where it would take you today.
In fact, the magnetic pole began moving at such an alarming rate in 2001, that by 2011, NASA felt obliged to release a statement assuring people that magnetic pole shifts happen all the time, and have minimal effects on life on Earth.
Except, that was 2011, and more recent science suggests something markedly different …
Science has long known that the last time the earth’s magnetic poles flipped was about 41,000 years ago, during a period known as the Laschamps Event. Previously, scientists didn’t think this flip had any major impact on Earth’s environment or the plants and animals living there. But that all changed in 2021, when a fossilized tree many tens of thousands of years old was uncovered in New Zealand.
The perfectly preserved rings of this tree gave scientists an exceptionally detailed record of Earth’s environmental conditions deep in the past. It was like “The Rosetta Stone,” in the words of one researcher. Shockingly, the rings showed that when the magnetic poles flipped, the strength of the earth’s magnetic field almost vanished, leaving the earth without a shield against high energy particles from the sun and outside the solar system. This caused dangerous levels of ultraviolet radiation in the atmosphere, and changed the earth’s weather patterns significantly.
The result was the extinction of many large mammals, while human beings were driven into caves to escape the radiation. Some believe it could even have caused the extinction of the Neanderthals. As one researcher put it, “It would have been an incredibly scary time, almost like the end of days.”
Think about how fast the earth’s magnetic pole is moving right now. Some scientists say this could mean the next flip is “imminent,” that Earth’s magnetic field “could flip in our lifetime” – even NASA admits that it has been more than twice as long as usual since the last flip.
And if the earth’s magnetic pole does flip? Well, in the words of one scientist, “say goodbye to modern life.” It would mean the end of electromagnetic technology, satellites, internet, phones, even the power grid, alongside the mass proliferation of things like cancer.
It could be horrific, but actually, it could be even worse …
Scientists point out that the reason the earth’s magnetic pole is moving so rapidly right now is because of extreme and unusual movement within the earth’s molten core. Remember Hapgood and Einstein postulating that a buildup of ice would not be sufficient to slide the earth’s crust over its center like a loose peel around an orange, but instead, it would be something within the earth that would act as the push that causes a true polar shift. Perhaps the movement within the earth’s molten core which is happening right now is the push that Hapgood and Einstein envisioned.
Notably, in the 1994 book World in Peril, author Ken White, the son of famed Arctic explorer Major Maynard White, used geophysics to assert that the triggering mechanism for a geographic pole shift will in fact be a flip of the earth’s magnetic poles. As White wrote,
“It was determined through repeated experimentation that as the magnetic pole approached the geographic pole, the magnetic pole would at some point accelerate its rate of convergence as though pulled toward the geographic pole by centripetal force and jump to coincide; but instead of the poles coinciding, the magnetic pole would rapidly ‘flip’ around the geographic pole, then spin off towards the equator as though by centrifugal force, ending up at a position where the two axes assumed an approximate 89-degree divergence.”
Could this be what is happening now?
If so, then not only must we worry about the terrifying “end of days” effects of a potentially “imminent” magnetic pole shift, but also the type of geographic pole shift that may have flash frozen the mammoths and wiped out the advanced civilization of Atlantis.
This sounds serious. So why don’t we know more about it?
Is The Next Polar Shift Coming Soon?
Some suggest that scientists and world leaders know more about an impending pole shift disaster than they are letting on, and that they suppress this information to prevent a public panic.
It is interesting to note that at the same time as Charles Hapgood and Immanuel Velikovsky were publishing work on the geographic pole shift phenomenon, the CIA commissioned its own work on the subject, then promptly classified it for 50 years, until a sanitized version was made available on the CIA’s website in 2013. The Adam and Eve Story, as it was called, spoke of an in a much more dramatic and terrifying way than even Hapgood or Velikovsky.
“In a quarter to half a day the polimpending pole shiftes move almost to the equator, and all hell lets loose. The atmosphere and oceans don’t shift with the shell – they just keep on rotating West to East – and at the equator that speed is 1000 miles per hour. So, while the shell shifts with the poles going toward the equator, the winds and oceans go eastward, blowing across the face of the earth with supersonic speeds, inundating continents with water miles deep.”
Could this be possible? And could the CIA have suppressed the information in order to stop a public panic?
What is particularly interesting is how in recent years the world’s richest and most powerful people – Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and others like them – have started purchasing millions of acres of farmland far from coasts around the world, land which would become most valuable, and most crucial to survival, if a pole shift inundated continents with “water miles deep.”
One might ask, “do the world’s financial leaders know something we don’t?”
In a book called The Adam and Eve Story: The History of Cataclysms by Chan Thomas, A renowned CIA document has been revised and presented in a comprehensible version. This intriguing text garnered significant attention as the end of the 2010s drew near, coinciding with science’s growing recognition of the strong likelihood of a cataclysmic event known as the Magnetic Pole Shift, which has the potential to obliterate everything in its path. For years, any discussion on this matter was dismissed by labeling it as a “conspiracy theory” or “pseudoscience,” but finally, it is receiving the attention it deserves, albeit perhaps too late. This book represents just a fraction of the extensive literature available on the subject of Magnetic Pole Shift. We encourage you to view it as a foundational resource for further exploration of this immensely significant topic.
The book presents a cataclysmic theory of Earth’s history, arguing that periodic pole shifts and global inundations have repeatedly devastated civilizations, reshaping geography and driving human evolution. Thomas attempts to support this theory using a wide range of scientific and historical sources, interwoven with interpretations of ancient myths and religious texts. He presents these cataclysms as driven by a weakening of the Earth’s internal magnetic and electrical structure as the solar system passes through galactic null zones.
Key Ideas and Claims:
Catastrophic Pole Shifts and Inundations: The central assertion is that the Earth’s outer shell (the crust) periodically shifts drastically (around 90 degrees) relative to its interior, causing massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and windstorms. These cataclysms wipe out civilizations and drastically alter the planet’s geography.
“With a rumble so low as to be inaudible, growing, throbbing, then fuming into a thundering roar, the earthquake starts…..only it’s not like any earthquake in recorded history.”
“In California the mountains shake like ferns in a breeze; the mighty Pacific rears back and piles up into a mountain of seawater more than two miles high…. then starts its race eastward.”
Recurring Cycle: These cataclysms are not random events but occur on a roughly 7,000-11,500-year cycle, driven by the solar system’s passage through magnetic null zones in the Milky Way Galaxy.
“Right now we don’t known why, every few thousand years on a varying timetable, the magnetic and electrical orderliness in the shallow molten layer is disorganized.”
Melting Icecaps & Rising Sea Levels: During a pole shift, previously polar regions rotate towards the equator, causing rapid melting of ice caps and resulting in a global sea-level rise of approximately 200 feet. New ice caps form in the new polar regions.
“Greenland and Antarctica, now rotating equatorially, find their ice caps dissolving madly in the tropical heat… In less than twenty-five years the ice caps are gone, and the oceans around the world rise over two hundred feet with the new-found water.”
Geological Evidence: Thomas interprets geological features like the Grand Canyon strata, Monument Valley, and the presence of granite blocks on the Jura Mountains as evidence of past cataclysmic inundations and sloshing of water on a massive scale.
“The oceans – the great homogenizers – have laid down another deep layer of mud over the existing strata in the great plains, as exposed in the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Monument Valley, and the Badlands.”
“For many years I searched and hunted for evidence of what I call “sloshing” of fast-moving muck water as it becomes trapped in a huge basin… I found a treasure trove of sloshing evidence in the part of Arizona and Utah known as Monument Valley.”
Mammoth Freezing and other Extinctions: Evidence like frozen mammoths with undigested food in their stomachs is presented as evidence of flash freezing during cataclysmic events. The quick extinction of species in places such as the Pejark Marsh is also offered as evidence of cataclysm.
“The Beresovka mammoth, frozen in mud, with buttercups in his mouth…”
“The Pejark Marsh in Australia, which shows a quick extinction of many, many species, including humans, 11,500 years ago.”
Linguistic and Mythological Connections: Thomas claims that the Adam and Eve story, Noah’s flood, and other myths are accounts of past cataclysms, preserved in ancient languages like Naga (prehistoric Mayan). He suggests that the Tree of Life represents a “mother continent” and that the serpent symbolizes water.
“Because of the use of tree, fruit, serpent, cherubim, word of fire, and other words of Moses which were glyphs in the picture language of prehistory, it is evident that the Creation and Adam and Eve stories were probably written in the glyphs of Naga…”
“Yes, Noah, Adam and Eve, Osiris, Ta’aroa, Zeus, and Vishnu have much deeper meaning now; and, as they join hands and walk with us, we hear Adam and Eve saying: “Listen – for now we can truly share our story with you!”
Earth’s Internal Structure: Thomas explains his theory hinges on the existence of a shallow molten layer 60 miles below the Earth’s surface, which can act as a lubricant, allowing the Earth’s shell to shift when the planet’s magnetic and electrical orderliness are disrupted. He references Hannes Alfven’s work on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) to support this idea.
“Inside the Earth, the electrical and magnetic structure of the interior makes these layers act as if they were near solid, or plastic. As long as the interior magnetic and electrical structure of the Earth maintains its orderliness, this old Earth keeps on rotating on its axis in a normal manner.”
“Alfven expanded his mathematical research to show that space is literally a sea of mhd energy, and that, as weak as the magnetic field of any blue-white star is, it is strong enough to support an internal mhd energy structure within the star.”
Bode’s Law and Celestial Mechanics: He reinterprets Bode’s Law to propose a structured arrangement of planets and minor planets in the solar system, suggesting the capture of our moon and explaining the formation of other celestial bodies.
“Bode’s Law, expanded here to include orbits of both fundamentals and harmonics, now offer an orderly meaning to us.”
Moral and Societal Decay Preceding Cataclysms: Thomas argues that societal breakdown, criminality, and a decline in empathy are characteristic of the periods leading up to cataclysms, possibly due to the weakening magnetic field.
“After all of my study, it seemed strange that it had not entered my mind that rape and forcible rape are a part of the overwhelming criminality in the precursor period preceding a cataclysm.”
“Remember that, especially in the years preceding and following a cataclysm, those without empathy turn criminal first.”
Survival Preparations: A significant portion of the book focuses on practical advice for surviving the next cataclysm, including selecting a safe location, stockpiling supplies, and preparing for societal collapse. He gives instructions for how to monitor for changes in Earth’s magnetic field by watching a compass.
“As sure as the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West, the time will come when you must decide whether you and your family should survive the next cataclysm.”
“NOW! Take your family and your entire survival storage to your retreat… Be sure to take with you whatever instruments (and the supplies for those instruments) needed for your protection and survival. Be sure your family is well trained in their use.”
UFOs and Extraterrestrial Involvement: Thomas suggests that UFO sightings may be related to extraterrestrial observation and intervention, possibly to monitor or even aid certain individuals (like Jesus) during cataclysmic times. He believes these “angels” or aliens do not choose to live on Earth due to our planet’s immoral and destructive nature.
“So why would these men, these angels, watch over Jesus? The only answer is in legend, in that they watched over him because he was a genius… These people from other worlds never come here to live because this planet is the garbage dump of the Universe.”
Author’s Perspective:
Chan Thomas presents himself as a researcher driven by a desire to understand the causes of past cataclysms, drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines and ancient knowledge. He claims to have faced ridicule and scorn from the scientific community for his unconventional ideas.
“To all of those who ridiculed, scorned and laughed relegating me to the nuthouse and even firing me. For how else would I have been so driven to pursue, solve, find and derive the truth. I owe them.”
“As a result of his research and analysis since 1949, Dr. Thomas has become recognized as the world’s leading authority in cataclysmology.”
Noteworthy Points:
The document blends scientific claims with interpretations of religious texts and mythology, often without clear separation or rigorous sourcing.
Many of the scientific claims are presented as established facts, even if they are controversial or lack mainstream scientific support.
The book reflects a strong sense of urgency and a call to action to prepare for an impending cataclysm.

When we talk about magnetic field reversals, this is a real and well-documented phenomenon. The Earth’s magnetic field does flip periodically, with the north and south magnetic poles swapping places. This is supported by a wealth of geological evidence. Scientists who study this are called paleomagnetists, and they analyze the magnetic signatures preserved in rocks to understand the history of the Earth’s magnetic field.
However, the “pole shift” that’s often depicted in movies usually involves a dramatic shift in the Earth’s axis of rotation, causing catastrophic events like earthquakes and tsunamis. There is no credible scientific evidence to support this kind of pole shift. The Earth’s axis is relatively stable, and while it does wobble slightly (a phenomenon called precession), it doesn’t undergo sudden, large-scale shifts.
So, while there are many credible scientists who study and support the concept of magnetic field reversals, you won’t find any reputable scientists who support the idea of a catastrophic pole shift as depicted in fiction. It’s important to remember that science fiction often takes liberties with scientific concepts for the sake of storytelling, and it’s essential to distinguish between entertainment and actual scientific understanding.
