Considerations:
I’ve
been toying with my Earth globe today (5938[(??)] 02 02 2027 [2011-06-05,]) and I’ve made some interesting discoveries. In
particular I had been wondering about those 36 undefined units mentioned in the
Hebrew Book of Jasher re what seems to be the length of time that the sun and
the moon stood still…
Re the sun and the moon in the Valley of Ajalon
First I
did what I could to identify the particulars re the location of Ajalon and the
Furthermore,
reviewing the book Pole Shift by John White I find (between pages 207 and 209)
a map showing “the path of the north pole according to Charles Hapgood,” which
map shows four different locations for the north pole:
The following paragraph (including
also the added picture of the Path of the South Pole) was modified on 5924[(*??*)] 09
27 2028 [2012-01-22]
I do not find the above map in any one of the three books[1] by Charles Hapgood that I’ve reviewed. The Spitsbergen area
pole placement is consistent with Grid B in Figure 18 on page 36
of Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, but notice also the latitudes as given in Figure 36 on page 60!
Please notice also that Charles Hapgood’s forte and all absorbing interest was
ancient maps, most especially the Piri Reis map (or at least that is true for
the book published in 1966.) Upon studying Charles Hapgood’s book, Maps of the
Ancient Sea Kings (1966,)[2] it becomes obvious to me that the
above pole placements are based upon very precise and knowledgeable research
and insight. Hapgood’s first book from 1958, does not contain such precise
details based upon ancient, originally very precise, worldwide maps. However,
the 2nd edition of that book, issued under the title Path of the
Pole, does. In particular I notice Chapter 4 (pp. 89-124) which bears the title
Evidence for the North Pole in Hudson Bay. Section 2 (pp. 90-92) of that
chapter in entitled Remarkable Features of the Last North American Ice Cap, and
Section 9 (pp. 111-122) of the same chapter is entitled: “The Evidence of an
Ancient Map.” Section 9 of Path of the Pole (1970) is based upon, and
giving reference to (cf. p. 111,) Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings (1966.) On page 107 of the Path of the Pole I find
the following map, and on page 106 I find that the placement of the last prior
location of the pole is derived from the opposite pole being located in Hudson
Bay:
The very ancient maps discussed in Charles Hapgood’s work
from 1966, Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, I believe were originally drawn prior
to the event being recorded in Joshua 10:12-13 and Book of Jasher 88:63-65 (cf. below!,) that is, while the pole was located at the
Spitsbergen area location. Or, more likely, the most ancient maps, upon which
Charles Hapgood’s 1966 work is based, were drawn even as early as when the pole
was located in the South West Alaska area, or it would not be in Charles
Hapgood’s works… I believe the Alaska area pole placement may likely correspond
to a pre- or peri-Exodus situation. I do find it interesting that not until
close to the end of his 1966 book is Charles Hapgood even mentioning his
earlier work from 1958. However, on pages 185-190 in section 3 of Chapter XII
of his book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, Charles Hapgood is briefly touching
on his earlier work from 1958 in terms making his latter work from 1966
supportive of his earlier work from 1958. Furthermore, on pages 199-204 of the
same work he is referencing some very strong support, in the form of C-14
dating, for the Cuicuilco pyramid in Mexico having been built several centuries
prior to 2160 BC, which pyramid building era he suggests as being the time when
these most ancient maps were originally drawn. (I believe Charles Hapgood, in
spite of being a true pioneer and free thinker, was yet not able to
disassociate himself from the grand errors inherent in the heresies within the
teachings of evolution, that is, in contradistinction from the fundamentals of
natural facts as they are found in nature and in real time.)
Marking each of the above three specified past
locations of the North Pole upon my own globe and also each of the
corresponding equators, I get a good tool for helping me better visualize and
understand the nature of polar shifts of the ancient past.
One of the first things that strikes me while
preparing my globe is that the pole shift from #2 to #3, (i.e. from
Spitsbergen, Norway, to Hudson Bay, Canada) is very close to a 36 degree shift,
that is, the pole shift most likely to be associated with the record found in
Joshua 10:12-13 and the distance or time being specified in the Book of
Jasher!:
63 And when they were
smiting, the day was declining toward evening, and
Joshua said in the sight of all the people, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and
thou moon in the valley of Ajalon, until the nation shall have revenged itself
upon its enemies.
64 And the
Lord hearkened to the voice of Joshua, and the sun
stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty
moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole
day.
65 And
there was no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened to
the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.
(Book of Jasher 88:63-65)
Furthermore, upon looking at the mechanics of that
movement, by playing with my globe, it seems to me very likely that that 36
degree shift is also part and parcel of the west to east rotational movement of
the core underneath the crust, which, if true, means that that entire movement
would have taken less than two (2) hours to accomplish from start to finish. If
that isn’t a movement of catastrophic proportions I don’t know what is! Makes
me wonder as to whether or not such a movement wouldn’t be most likely
initiated by means of a collision with an asteroid of good size, that is, as
opposed to a wobbling gyro effect and/or unbalanced polar caps?
Polar
ice caps as a driving force for past and potential future pole shifts:
After having finished preparing my globe, by marking
the before and after pole placement and the before and after equators, and
while considering the pattern I am seeing, I seem to notice that the before and
after positions of each shift seem to agree with the most likely polar ice cap
distribution as a driving force, which if true could be helpful for predicting
what type of movement might be associated with any future pole shift…
Realizing that, more than likely, the safest places,
for survival of any sizeable sudden pole shift in our future, would be near the
axis for the polar shift, I seem to find that one such location would be near
Hawaii and the other would be near Axum, Ethiopia, that is, where the Ark of
the Covenant reportedly has found a secure resting place for the last 1,600
years or so…
Added 5924[(*??*)] 11 12 2028 [2012-03-06] – [i.e. this
section up to “Re pole shift #3 –
King Hezekiah’s pole shift…”]
After having been considering these things now for
some nine months, and after having been slowly but surely learning how to use a
powerful Auto Cad software program, I have now been able to create what I
believe are some fairly precise computer reconstructions
of each of the last three pole shifts. Said reconstructions are primarily based
upon Charles Hapgood’s findings re the last three locations of the poles.
Adding the time factor, as evidenced by the Scripture record, to Charles
Hapgood’s findings, little room is left for further speculation…
Yet, there were some things that had to be
determined in order to satisfy the requirements given by those two sources,
i.e. the Holy Scriptures and Charles Hapgood’s research findings re the precise
position of the poles of the past. For instance: What about the exact paths of
movement of the poles between one position and the next? Would those paths
follow roughly the lines drawn in the above maps? Could it be that, on the
contrary, each of those sudden pole shifts were in the nature of the entire
crust of the Earth being tilted some 150 degrees, that is, such that the last
prior north pole location came to be shifted to a position close to the prior
south pole, and vice versa?
Given the particulars of the Scripture record I have
found, by means of my computer models, that, when the poles are being moved
some 150 degrees between the locations indicated by Charles Hapgood’s research,
and when the polar movements are being fitted to the time of day indicated per
the firsthand records provided by the Holy Scriptures, then there is a hand to
glove fit between the events as recorded in the Scriptures and the locations of
the poles as discovered by Charles Hapgood’s research. To me, this is strong
confirmation indeed for my computer models being representations of the true
scenario in real time not too long ago.
Furthermore, given the many
details within the greater picture provided by my computer simulations of these
past events, I seem to find excellent explanations for a number of heretofore
unexplained geological
and archeological findings. For instance:
1. The
muck of Alaska. Quoting from the beginning of Chapter One in Earth in Upheaval
by Immanuel Velikovsky:
“In Alaska, to the north of Mount McKinley, the
tallest mountain in North America, the Tanana Valley and the valleys of its
tributaries gold is mined out of gravel and “muck.” This muck is a frozen mass
of animals and trees.
“F. Rainey of the University of Alaska described the
scene[3]; “Wide cuts, often several
miles in length and sometimes as much as 140 feet in depth, are now being sluiced
out along stream valleys tributary to the Tanana in the Fairbanks District…
This ‘muck’ contains enormous numbers of frozen bones of extinct animals such
as the mammoth, mastodon, super-bison and horse.”[4]
“These animals perished in rather recent times;
present estimates place their extinction at the end of the Ice Age or in early
post-glacial times. The soil of Alaska covered their bodies together with those
of animals of species still surviving.
“Under what conditions did this great slaughter take
place, in which millions upon millions of animals were torn limb from limb and
mingled with uprooted trees?
“F. C. Hibben of the University of New Mexico
writes: “Although the formation of he deposits of muck is not clear, there is
ample evidence that at least portions of this material were deposited under
catastrophic conditions. Mammal remains are for the most part dismembered and
disarticulated, even though some fragments yet retain, in their frozen state,
portions of ligaments, skin, hair, and flesh. Twisted and torn trees are piled
in splintered masses. . . . At least four considerable layers of volcanic ash
may be traced in these deposits, although they are extremely warped and
distorted. . . . ”[5]
…
“Muck deposits like those of the Tanana River Valley
are found in the lower reaches of the Yukon in the western part of the
peninsula, on the Koyukuk River that flows into the Yukon from the north, on
the Kuskokwim River that empties its waters into Bering Sea, and at several
places along the Arctic coast, and so “may be considered to extend in greater
or lesser thickness over all unglaciated areas of the northern peninsula.”[6]
…
“In various levels of the muck, stone artifacts were
found “frozen in situ at great depths and in apparent association” with
the Ice Age fauna, which implies that “men were contemporary with extinct
animals in Alaska.”[7] Worked flints,
characteristically shaped, called Yuma points, were repeatedly found in the
Alaskan muck, one hundred and more feet below the surface. One such spear point
was found there between a lion’s jaw and a mammoth’s tusk.[8] Similar weapons were used
only a few generations ago by the Indians of the Athapascan tribe, who camped
in the upper Tanana Valley.[9] “It has also been suggested
that even modern Eskimo points are remarkably Yuma-like,”[10] all of which indicates that
the multitudes of torn animals and splintered forests date from a time not many
thousand years ago.”
(Velikovsky, Immanuel, Earth
in Upheaval, p. 1-3 (1955.))
“Animals, torn and broken, many of which are of
extinct forms, are found in enormous heaps in Alaska, their bones and skin
still fresh…”
(Velikovsky, Immanuel, Earth
in Upheaval, p. 203 (1955.))
2. The
pottery in the Mid-East showing evidence of being burnt in the oven at a time when the magnetic
poles were inversed relative to their present positions:
“The position of the ancient vases during firing is
known. They were fired in a standing position, as the flow of the glaze
testifies. The magnetic inclination or the magnetic dip of the iron particles
in the fired clay indicates which was the nearest magnetic pole, the south or
the north.
“In 1896 Giuseppe Folgheraiter began his careful
studies of Attic (Greek) and Etruscan vases of various centuries, starting with
the eighth century before the present era. His conclusion was that in the
eighth century the earth’s magnetic field was inverted in Italy and Greece.[11] Italy and Greece were closer to the south than to
the north magnetic pole.”
(Velikovsky, Immanuel, Earth
in Upheaval, p. 146 (1955.))
Well,
it seems to me as though my
computer simulations are suggesting that a horrific tsunami, possibly mixed
with a polar ice cap in the process of breaking up while sweeping across all of
Australia, and that these same waters, with all their contents, became
deposited, within some six to ten hours, over Alaska. Please notice that all
these masses of water, ice, and debris were largely staying put in their
original place relative to the core of the Earth, that is, while the thin crust
of the Earth made its sudden and very rapid polar shift. Indeed, this polar
shift was way too sudden and way too fast for the vast waters of the ocean to
follow along to any great extent. And certainly, in that kind of setting, the
waters would be exceedingly turbulent, most especially near the bottom, with
little or nothing settling to the bottom until the very end of the polar shift.
Re
said Attic and Etruscan pottery, well, Italy (or more specifically Tuscany, in
the mid to upper part of Italy, where the Etruscans lived,) and Greece
(specifically Athens,) per my computer simulations, were at that time, prior to
the time of Hezekiah, located
at latitude 38 and 27 degrees South, respectively.
– If
someone proficient in French would be willing and able to look up Velikovsky’s
references[12] and find out some more exact particulars re the
orientation of the magnetism in those Attic and Etruscan vases, I would find
such information quite valuable for purposes of seeing this scenario even more
clearly. Thanks!
Re
pole shift #3 – King Hezekiah’s pole shift (from Hudson Bay, Canada to present
placement in the Arctic Sea:)
Eventually I get to a major object of this little
globe project of mine, that is, to learn something about how to reckon the
timing of any pre-Hezekiah recordings of ancient celestial events. Realizing that
by knowing the pre and post positions of any two sequential polar locations I
can identify also a corresponding axis for that shift. Using that axis and then
rotating the point of observation accordingly it should be possible to
identify, fairly accurately, the pre and post geographical coordinates for most
any location of observation. Being a little unsure of myself re these somewhat
unfamiliar things, I nevertheless seem to find an approximate position for
Approximate axis of Hezekiah’s pole shift in terms
of current latitude and longitude: 175 degrees W / 0 degree N; and 5 degrees E
/ 0 degree N.

Pre pole shift location for
Given those last coordinates I should now be prepared
for reviewing once again the same era of eclipses previously
considered for King Saul’s visit with the woman at En-Dor, however this time
using different geographical coordinates, which coordinates will seem to
correspond closely to the current coordinates for a point west of Salvador and
north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in S. America:

This eclipse did not begin until well after

Neither is it a 1st sunrise full moon as suggested by the VAT 4956
Babylonian clay record. And it would have taken place 24 hours prior to the
time of the week of Saul’s visit to the woman at En-dor. Not a good fit by

eclipse began some 35 minutes after sunset. Again, this would not be standard

If the woman at En-dor was observing either of
these two eclipses on the night of King Saul’s visit to her, then they are
both good fits. However, the observation practice suggested by VAT 4956
indicates that the standard observation looked for was the 1st
full moon seen at sunrise, that is, after the completed astronomical full
moon, not the last prior full moon at sunset. Thus, I consider these eclipses
less likely… |

Notice: For a comparison between the real time looks
of a penumbral eclipse and an umbral eclipse, please look at this
4 hour plus Google YouTube video of the entire June 15, 2011 CE total lunar
eclipse!
Conclusion:
Having worked with and carefully considered each of the above 91 lunar eclipses, at the end I find only one solution that seems to fit all the data thus far available, that is, March 23, 1028 BCE (item #64.) Having found all together 16 Saturday lunar eclipses, in addition to a number of Friday and Sunday eclipses, I was happily surprised to be able to rule out all but 21 (cf. the color coding of column #1) out of these 91 eclipses totally, all but 4 (item ##4, 11, 13, & 64) with high probability, and all but one (#64) as less likely. Please find my specific assessments in the rightmost column!
For the present I conclude that King Saul’s lunar eclipse, as described to
him, in Hebrew, by the woman in En-dor, was none other than the March 23, 1028
BCE lunar eclipse.
Further
considerations – Looking for confirmation of the above:
How
may the above findings be
confirmed or refuted? What can I glean from the Scriptures re this issue?
The following section was
extensively modified and added to on 5924[(*??*)] 06 09 2028
[2012-09-25] – in order to challenge my prior apparent confirmation of the 1423
BCE placement of the crossing of the Jordan, which prior confirmation I did
find being based upon errors of mine re the geographical coordinates of
Jerusalem at the time of the crossing of the Jordan… which error somehow caused
me to mix up the crossing of the Jordan, a pre Joshua’s Long Day event, with a
post Joshua’s Long Day geographical placement of Jerusalem, thus also my prior
(flawed) acceptance of a February Aviv 1 event…
Re the placement of the Omer Sabbath
after crossing the Jordan
How about the placement of
the Omer Sabbath within the Feast of Unleavened Bread immediately after the
crossing of the
Oooops… I almost forgot! Aren’t we now, that is, wasn’t Israel at that time, per my within findings, located on the Northern Hemisphere at 47° N 99° E [after Joshua’s day 14° S; 37° W,] more or less? How would that affect these dates? Given that I see no calendar change, sanctioned by the Creator Himself, such that the timing of the Leviticus 23 feasts were ever shifted by half a year, I believe we may still use the February through May season as the Passover season. Given also that 47° N (a more northerly location than the current one; and that we could be dealing now with a different grain than barley?,) in addition to the much lower altitude of the Jordan river than that of Jerusalem, I find it proper to consider carefully also an Aviv 1, 1423 BCE one month either side of March 27. That is, 1) beginning sunset (Thu Feb 25 or) Fri Feb 26 (in case of inclement weather or too difficult a sighting,) 1423 BCE, or 2) Sun Apr 25, 1423 BCE:[15]
Per Joshua 4:19, the crossing of the Jordan took place on Aviv 10, which day was also, per Joshua 3:2, the Third Day of the week:
Joshua 3:1 CEV Early the
next morning, Joshua and the Israelites packed up and left Acacia. They went to
the Jordan River and camped there that night.
Joshua 3:1 BBE Then Joshua
got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the
children of Israel came to Jordan and were
there for the night before going over.
Joshua 3:2 ויהיH1961 מקצהH7097 שׁלשׁתH7969 ימיםH3117 ויעברוH5674 השׁטריםH7860 בקרבH7130 המחנה׃H4264

3:2 TLT And it came to pass after
the beginning[16] of Day Three,
that the officers went through the host;
Joshua 3:2 KJV And it came
to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Jos 3:5 ויאמר

Joshua 3:5 TLT And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify
yourselves: for in the morning[17] the LORD will do wonders among you.
Joshua 3:5 KJV And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify
yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Jos 4:14 ביום
ההוא גדל
יהוה
את־יהושׁע
בעיני
כל־ישׂראל
ויראו אתו
כאשׁר יראו
את־משׁה
כל־ימי חייו׃
Joshua 4:14 KJV On that day the LORD
magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they
feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Jos 4:19 והעם
עלו מן־הירדן בעשׂור
לחדשׁ
הראשׁון ויחנו
בגלגל בקצה
מזרח יריחו׃
Joshua 4:19 KJV So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their
tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.
This double dated event within the record of Joshua should serve us well for purposes of dating this event more exactly. Thus, if Aviv 10 was Day Three of the week [a Tuesday, beginning Monday at sunset,] then it follows that Aviv 1, was Day One of the week [a Sunday, beginning at sunset on a Saturday.] That agrees nicely with the New Moon of Aviv 1 beginning on Sat March 27, 1423.[18]
This places Aviv 15, 1423 BCE, on Day One of the week [beginning at sunset Sat Apr 10, 1423 BCE.]
Joshua 5:11 ויאכלוH398 מעבורH5669 הארץH776 ממחרתH4283 הפסחH6453 מצותH4682 וקלויH7033 בעצםH6106 היוםH3117 הזה׃H2088
Joshua 5:11 TLT And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the
morrow of the
Passover Feast of Unleavened Bread and parched old
corn,
on that very day [that is, on the Seventh Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
which coincided that year with the Seventh Day of the week.]
Joshua 5:11 KJV And they did
eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after
the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
Joshua 5:12 KJV And the manna
ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither
had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the
land of Canaan that year.
Based upon the strength of the double date provided for us in Joshua 3:2, Day Three of the week, and Joshua 4:19, day ten of the month, it follows that Aviv 15 must necessarily have fallen on the First Day of the week that year. But that means that Hag HaOmer did not fall out until the Seventh Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and that, accordingly, the prohibition of Leviticus 23:14 was in effect until the sunrise of the morning of Aviv 21. KJV’s term “parched corn,” is identically one and the same in Joshua 5:11 and in Leviticus 23:14. Not so in the Hebrew text. There is a subtle but distinct difference between the words “קלי” (Lev 23:14) and “קלוי” (Joshua 5:11!) I find sufficient reason for perceiving that added “ו” as an indication that the corn used for parching was from the old crop, not from the crop of that year. To further emphasize this distinction I notice that the “green ears” of Lev 23:14 find no correspondence within Joshua 5:11, that is, none of the prohibited items of Lev 23:14 find an exact correspondence in Joshua 5:11! Neither do I find any compelling reason for translating the last words of Joshua 5:12 in terms of “the fruit of that year.” On the contrary, and as implied also by the language of KJV, the words “that year” must apply to all of that which the Israelites ate once the manna ceased, that is, whether the old crop or the new crop, whether before Hag HaOmer or after Hag HaOmer.
Accordingly, I find a scenario that agrees well with Joshua 5:11 re the Omer Shabbat concurring, not with Aviv 15, but with Aviv 21 of the year of the crossing of the Jordan River. (Cf. also Nehemia Gordon’s teachings re this issue, where Nehemia identifies the Omer Shabbat with Aviv 15. Although I have been, until now - 5924[(*??*)] 06 09 2028 [2012-09-25] - a supporter of Nehemia’s teaching regarding this particular, I find that, given the strength of the above double dated event as recorded per Joshua 3:2 and 4:19 (and the alternative TLT translation of Joshua 5:11 re “parched old corn,”) I am presently being forced to part with Nehemia’s teaching on this issue.
Perhaps that bit of insight might thus serve, at least, as a weak bit of confirmation for Saul’s lunar eclipse being the March 23, 1028 BCE total lunar eclipse…? Nevertheless, until such time as I can more certainly determine the particulars re a possible pole shift in connection with the passage across Jordan, there remains a certain degree of uncertainty re beginning of Aviv 1 in that year, 1423 BCE.
Added on 5924[(*??*)] 08 09 2028 [2011-12-05]
Re the cause for the fall of Tyrus and the prior demise of the
Phoenician worldwide Empire and that of Atlantis…
Here is another bit of Scripture confirmation in support of a pole shift having taken place at the time of King Hezekiah:
Ezekiel 26:3 KJV Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations
to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to
come up.
Psalms 96:11 KJV Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Psalms 98:7 KJV Let the sea
roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Notice the reference in Ezekiel, and the comparison, to that which in this passage seems to indicate a prior event caused by the waves of the sea, that is as in a giant tsunami swallowing the center of the Empire of which Tyrus was merely an outpost and which out Tyrus could not likely sustain for very long is power and influence over the Middle East area!
I became aware of this passage recently after having read Chapter Two, the Jewel That Grants All Desires (pp. 15-33) in Frank Joseph’s and Laura Beaudoin’s book Opening the Ark of the Covenant. Said Chapter is pointing to a number of archeological finds worldwide, but most particularly in the Pacific Ocean area, indicating that an ancient kingdom named Mu or Lemuria was lost due to a major catastrophe where the major portion of said country was being swallowed up by the sea.
Re
David’s “year and four months”
Now,
reviewing my considerations within my prior article re Saul’s eclipse I am
reminded of one more important constraint that I had not thus far considered
within my above table, that is the “year and four months…” of 1 Samuel
27:7, which once again is coming forth as a confirmation of my prior
findings as above recorded:
1 Samuel 27:7 ויהיH1961 מספרH4557 הימיםH3117 אשׁרH834 ישׁבH3427 דודH1732 בשׂדהH7704 פלשׁתיםH6430 ימיםH3117 וארבעהH702 חדשׁים׃H2320
1
Samuel 27:7 KJV
And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
1
Samuel 27:7 TLT And the time that David dwelt in the country
of the Philistines was one summer plus four months.
Again, reckoning said four months as the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Scripture months, I find that Saul’s eclipse must have fallen in either the 11th or the 12th Scripture month, and that, accordingly, Saul’s eclipse must be found within either January, February, or March, thus adding one more helpful constraint to the table above (cf. the color coding now added to column #,) while also serving as, I believe rather strong, confirmation of my earlier conclusions…
Modifying my prior table to include also my
latest finding per the within article (cf. the column to the far left!:)
