-Caveat Lector- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From writing by Richard W. Noone-- http://rnoone.com/Hammer%20&%20Pendulum.html Information contained in this article, in my opinion is a must read for anyone on this list--execerpt below: Many readers will identify with Professor Hapgood for the cautious and comprehensive manner that he drafted his landmark books, Earth's Shifting Crust, (1958); Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings: Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Age, (1966); and The Path of the Pole, (1970). Professor Hapgood is perhaps better known to the geophysical community for having laid out the hard evidence, as indeed many modern researchers are now coming to realize, that the science we see at the dawn of recorded history was not science at its dawning, but represents the remnants of the science of some great and as yet untraced civilization. In my own book on this subject, 5/5/2000, Ice: The Ultimate Disaster, I sought to answer the many questions that were before me by inviting other professionals to share their thoughts through interviews that I replicate for the reader. The beautiful thing about an interview is that they solicit spontaneous responses that often express a deeper meaning than if the words had been prepared in advance for publication. Some of the interviews were so thoroughly thought provoking that I felt exhilarated by the experience, and would sit quietly for long periods afterward just wondering: >From where did the marvels of this earth, of this incredible world, originate? Reflecting on this, one questions...how accurate are we in our belief that one continent, Pangea, broke up and dispersed its part? And how accurate are we in our belief, though there is no modern analogue, that 17,000 years ago, glacial ice began to form in the temperate climates of the mid-latitudes as an onset to the Ice Ages? And how accurate are we in our belief that a 5000 mile front of ice could retreat thousands of miles northward with no other earth change being apparent. There is no modern analogue for events of this magnitude! Do mountains form, and rivers run, again, for reasons that have no modern analogue? How is it that every natural phenomenon that we are in witness to today has no analogue known to science? Nothing seems to be caused by anything that we are the least bit familiar with! Why is this the case? Why, when we're confronted with the overwhelming geological evidence that this insidious calamity has destroyed our ancestral civilizations on more than one occasion, haven't we learned the cause? Have we become so sophisticated, so arrogant in our thinking, that we feel immune? Or have we, mankind, not wanting to face the horrifying truth of surging waters, chosen instead, like the Lotus-Eaters of Greek mythology who ate of the fruit of the lotus, forgotten our past and live now in blissful indolence? Whichever the case, whether its arrogance, or indolence, the cause has eluded identification and has solicited silence. But silence, as the universal refuge, has become insufficient because the question: "What could cause these hideous calamities?" thunders forth demanding an answer. In the paragraphs ahead, we will seek an answer to this geological mystery. We will seek the cause. We are about to go on a Journey.
