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 Valley of Ajalon. I
learnt that the ancient Ajalon was located about 13 km WNW from Jerusalem and
that the modern name for that place is Yalo. Furthermore I discovered that,
from the vantage point of Yalo, the one and only direction towards the Valley
of Ajalon is in the range of North and North East. The only thing is that given
current geographical parameters and the path of the sun and the moon, I can
find no time during the year when the moon could be said to be located in the
Valley of Ajalon. Thus, I find reason for believing that this Scripture record
is evidence for at least one significant pole shift since that point in time.
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 Mt. Tabor in Galilee, from where I
believe, most likely, the woman in En-Dor made her observations. My findings
(realizing that for the solar shadow to reverse, the polar shift must
necessarily have been on the order of 180 ±30 degrees and such that, from the
point of view of the ancient observer, east and west would have traded places!)
were as follows:
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.
Post
pole shift location for Mt. Tabor, Israel, (i.e. the current location:) 32 deg 48
min N; 35 deg 23 min E
Pre
pole shift location for Mt. Tabor, Israel: 13 degrees South; 41 degrees W.
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:

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… |

While
this eclipse fits the record of the woman in En-dor, it may be a little far
off target re the year (i.e. 34 years off my reckoning of the kings of Israel
and Judah…) |
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 section, ”Summary
of Revisions Re the placement of the Omer Sabbath after crossing the Jordan,”
is now, 5925[(*??*)] 10 15 2029 [2014-01-17,] once again, extensively revised,
and is replaced by the most current version of my article “When
was Jordan Crossed?,” plus the following summary:
Summary of Revisions Re the placement
of the Omer Sabbath after crossing the Jordan
After more work upon my article
“When was Jordan Crossed?,” and, perhaps most importantly, after having
completed my article “What is the true meaning of בעוד?,” my last revision of this section is revised making it somewhat similar
to the version prior to my last revision, albeit with quite significant
improvements. The incentive for the current revision is probably most easily
perceived by considering the “Notice”
section, and the “Results
& abstract” section, within my most current version of my article “When
was Jordan Crossed.”
The overall placement of my time
line is not affected by the within referenced understanding of the dates,
pertaining to the Crossing of Jordan, as discovered in the Book of Joshua. The
placement of Joshua’s Long Day remains July 3, 1420 BCE. The crossing of Jordan
occurred on Day Three of the week [beginning at sunset Mon April 5, 1423 BCE.]
How about the placement of the Omer Sabbath within the Feast of Unleavened Bread
immediately after the crossing of the Jordan?
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.
Thus, re Nehemia’s teaching regarding this particular, I find that, given the
strength of the double dated events recorded per Joshua 3:2 and 4:19 (and the
alternative TLT translation of Joshua 5:11 re “parched old corn,”) I now find cause for maintaining
my separation from Nehemia’s teaching re this issue.
Once again, this little bit of
insight might serve us, 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.

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!:)
