ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF POLE SHIFT

In The Path of the Pole, in addition to the core chapters, Hapgood includes an appendix where certain key issues of geophysical mechanics are argued. From our perspective, these arguments are worth a close look to determine if they ever did--or still do--help to support or to defeat key parts of the pole shift theory--whether the most conservative or the most radical version.

Until recently, this book waas long out-of-print and difficult to find in either general or technical libraries.

Because of this and the fact that the technical arguments often have to be followed in mathematical detail, the following sections of the book have been photo-reproduced here, solely for the purposes of criticism and education:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Path of the Pole is now available in paperback, as is Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings.
