Why and how did the poles shift ?

What, Where and Why. Have the poles always been in the actual position, if not where were they? The poles tend to shift, but this takes 26'000 years and is a very slow process. When the North and South pole did shift, how can we shift a pole?. Could the Ice-Cap have destabilized the earth rotation, does it have enough mass to do this?. Why does the Earth tilt of axis not match the Orbital inclination of the Moon (Difference +/- 18°), then the Earth-Moon combination is a binary system which tends to synchonize their movements. Has the misalignment of +/- 17° towards actual North of some Maya temples in the Yucatan to do whith a possible pole displacement? Did the Earth always rotate at the same speed, or did it rotate faster (Days are shorter = more days in a Year), or did it rotate slower (Days are longer = less day in a Year)?. Why does the center of the ice cap of 10'000 BC show a difference of 12° to 20° towards actual North?. Could the actual Magnetic pole have been the North pole 12'000 Years ago?. Could the center of the IceCap of 10'000 BC have been the Nort Pole (Situates on Actual GreenLand)?. Modifying the Earth rotation speed and angle chages the pole position to, but requires a fair amount of energie, producing however an immediate effect (This is what likly happened anyway, see more in « How did it happen »). Considerations, what could and what could not happen. Mamouths have been frozen complete and intact, which gives us a time-scale of 24 hours maximum. The total mass of the IceCap of 12'000 years ago makes 0.0005 % of the total mass of the Earth, so dont expect this to make any difference. An colission whith an astriod or comet in the right place and the right angle produces this (un)disired effect, like someone playing billard making the billardball spin by hitting it a particular way. The Earth is a ball and as such a symetric object which can, in upposite to a toll, spin in any direction. Because of the gyroscopic effect of its rotation, the Earth will not chanche position by itself without an influance of an external force (Sun, Moon or colision with an object). The Earth - Moon combination is a binary star system, which stabilizes the rotation, and ihibits such movements as the movements of rotation axis we can observe from other planets of our solar system, who do not have a « sabilizer ». Earth tilt of axis difference with the orbital inclination of the moon.    We could expect that the Eath tilt of axis would (and probably should) match an angle of 90° with the orbital inclination of the moon, and this due to the stabilization effect of the Moon rotating around the Earth.     Then in case of a big difference, the gravitional forces and the tides would probably pull this rotation axis slowly back in its original place anyway.    There could be, of course a difference in this alignment, but not as big as actual.     The actual difference is about tha same as the expected difference between the center of the Ice-Cap (Suspected to have been on the center of Greenland e.g. 12° to 17° of to the actual Pole position) and the actual Pole position.    This illustration shows how the tilt of the rotation axis of the Earth could have been changed by an impact of an celestical object, such as an astriod or comet.    This could only have happened at mid summer or at mid winter when the tilt of the Earth rotation axis was in the right angular position.     In other words the shift has been taken place in this direction, than in any other case the tilt of the Earth rotation axis would have had an other orientation towards the Moon's. orbital inclination angle as the Earth has today.     The same situation repeats mid winter, when the orientation repeats in the opposite direction ( Position of Sun and Earth reversed in the above picture).     Note: the actual angular difference of the orbital inclination of the Moon with the tilt of axis of the Earth is about 18°, and the center of Greenland toward the Nortpole is also +/- 17°, as well was the center of the IceCap 12'000 years ago.     Siberia with it's Frozen Mamouths seem to have had a climat shitft of also around 17° towards north, and this shift must have been so fast that the Mamouths have been frozen instantainiously, then some of then did not finish eating there food or even have digested it, which limits the amount of time the event happened to a few hours, and not days or even weeks.     The present image, showing the Earth seen from the pole, illustrates that indeed a pole mouvement from the center of Greenland towards the actual position, moves Siberia about 1'500 Kms futher north. (And the upposite side further south)     This is the position used by the rest of the prediluvian maps and climat simulation in order to simulate the possible position of the Ice cap. Could the orientation of some Maya temples be an indication of a pole shift?     This drawing shows a Maya temple with some unusual mis-orientation of 17° towards west, I have used this drawing to see or pole-shift would put the main orientation of most of the elements to an North - South and East - West position.     Then an other orientation of the poles gives different results, this depending on the place on Earth.     Then some do move their North - South orientation to the West as in other places the orientation goes the in the other direction.     This drawing shows the same temple as above, but with an orientation shift of 17° as the temple would have had before the pole shift had taken place from it's pre-diluvian position on GreenLand to it's actual position.     It could be that the Maya's did build some of their temples on top of older existing temples (It is known that they did indeed do this from time to time).     They would likely have build one or more of their temples on top of much older existing ones and conserved by doing so their original position.     The actual ones are not so old that they could be 12'000 years old.     It is very unlikely that the Maya's existed that time, and it is more likely that they did follow up an other pre-existing culture, like the Aztec's picked up their culture and contignued it. Did the Earth rotate always at the same speed?     This is a strange question, because it not rather likely that the Earth has always been rotating in the same angle and at the same speed, than any modification in the rotating enregy from the outside will modify more or less the roting speed and possibly also the rotating angle.     If hovever the speed and rotation angle gets modified, the pole position and the length af day will change to, and therefore any celestical object with a size of over 1 km and a speed of 10 km /sec or more will cause a significant change of both pole position and day length.     This will cause as side effect a change in the number of days in a year to.     Then the number of days in a year is the duration of the year divided by the duration of a day, so when a day gets longer, we will get lesser days in year, and on the other hand, a shorter day will give us more days in the year.     We can in fact shift a pole by modifying, adding and subtracting speed vectors in different angles on the existing rotation speed and angle of the Earth.     Than even when this does not physicaly shifts the poles, it does shift the center of rotation axis which produces the result anyway.     But the change however may take a up to day, this depending on the location (Up to one full rotation) to take effect.    This was a quarter of a turn for the place where the Mamouths were, which gave them no more as a maximum of 6 hours left to live. The impact slows down the rotation speed of the Earth and is therefore in opposite direction to the Earth rotation. Black:    New speed = 462 Ms/sec (Actual) Blue:     Old speed    = 481 Ms/sec Red:      Subtracted  = 135 Ms/sec A day was: +/- 23 Hrs, and we had about 380 days in a year.     The impact accelerates the rotation speed of the Earth and is therefore in the same direction as the Earth rotation. Blue:    Old speed  = 442 Ms/sec Black:  New speed = 462 Ms/sec (Actual) Red:     Added        = 135 Ms/sec A day was: +/- 25 Hrs, and we had about 349 days in a year. Table of speed differences and object sizes in order to obtain the above results. Speed in Km / sec Size in Km Estimation of an celestic object hurting the Earth, considering that the density of the object is 8 Kg /dm3 and that 80% of the kinetic energie will be converted into rotation motion of the Earth thereby considering that 50% of the total mass is accelerated by 66% of the additionnel rotation speed and the density of the Earth is 5 Kg /dm3 .   The remaining energie will be converted to heat and is transfered to the environnement (probably the ocean water). The results of this table can be used to search for a crater, then the size of a crater is about 10 times the size of the object. 10 105,14 20 66,24 30 50,55 40 41,73 50 35,96 60 31,84 70 28,73 80 26,29 Note:     The total amount of energie needed is 296 X 10 18 Kgm /sec, from which 59 X 10 18 Kgm /sec is converted into heat during the impact and the remaining 237 X 10 18 Kgm /sec is converted into additional rotation speed of the Earth, modifying by doing so the rotation axis of our Earth, and thereby shifting indirectly the poles. Possible places of impact To produce the (un)disired effect of the above mentioned poleshift, as mentioned above, must be done by modifying the Earth rotation angle and speed.     The Earth must be therefore be hit under an vertical angle of 30° - 60° in one of the following places.     Having hit the Earth somewere else would have produced a different effect, and could therefore not mach the actual situation. Impact is in the same direction as the Earth rotation. (Duration of a day was 25 Hrs - 349 Days / Year) Inpact is in opposite direction to the Earth rotation. (Duration of a day was 23 Hrs - 380 Days / Year) Bermuda triangle North -West Pasific Ocean 20N - 40N 60W - 100W Note: Crater of 500 X 700 Kms at Charleston coast. 40N - 70N 140E - 180E Note: No visible trace of Impact found Australia South of Cape Town 20S - 40S 80E - 120E Note: No visible trace at Australian continent. 40S - 70S 0 - 40W Note: No visible trace of Impact found Note:   The bermuda region has indeed some craters, and the one at the Charleston coast is one of them. This particular crater seem to match the one of thre object sizes stated in a previous table, than a crater is usually about 10 times the size of the object causing it.    The eliptic shape of the crater could also mean the impact was at an agle of 30° to 60° with the surface, and opened up, due to it size, mass and speed, the whole ocean floor at that place, and possibly ripped open the whole of 60'000 Km continatal plate border lines.
