Introduction
I had read Rand Flem-ath’s earlier work, the material presented
on the Internet from his book “When the Sky Fell” and it got me
thinking. I had always been interested in ancient cultures,
and considered myself a bit of an ancient history “buff”, but
the material I read from Rand challenged all I had known. I
determined to check into the facts surrounding crust displacement
and polar shift. I came to the growing conclusion that it was
a hypothesis that would stand the test of time, and eventually
become accepted as fact. I then read Rand Flem-Ath and Collin
Wilson’s book, The Atlantis Blueprint, and was captivated.
With the Atlantis Blueprint, many of the pieces fell into
place. I did have a problem, however, with Rand’s
explanation of the mechanics of crust displacement. After
stewing on this for a while, I decided to write down my thoughts and
email them to Rand.
What follows is an edited email dialog between Rand and myself:
"Rand,
I just finished your latest book, The Atlantis Blueprint.
I think it was very well done and I congratulate you on creating a
nice mix of mystery and academic rigor. I have no doubt that
you are on to something big, and your research stands strong in
light of all the other sources I've read.
When you describe the mechanism for the Earth's crust
displacement, you seem to put confidence in the inner core dynamics
theory of the mantle shift. You go on to talk about the
Earth's magnetic field somehow being regenerated by the process, but
then, it seems to me, you miss a vital point. Perhaps it is
not the disruptions of the Earth's core that cause fluctuations in
the Earth's magnetic field, but rather disruptions of the Earth's
magnetic field cause fluctuations in the Earth's core.
Let me digress. I'm a computer professional and inventor,
and I work with electromagnetic devices daily. A problem with
an electromagnet is once a magnetically permeable material or
alternate polarity magnetic field passes through the generated
electromagnetic field, electric current is generated in the magnetic
material, and/or the magnetic field generators get hotter through
the resistance of the inducted current in the coils. The more
'work' performed by the electromagnet, the hotter it gets. The
more efficiently it performs its work, the hotter still it
becomes. This is a gross over simplification, but I think you
get my point. If the Earth's magnetic field received such a
tremendous distortion of its magnetic field, over a prolonged period
of time, it would generate immense amounts of heat within the
Earth's core as the Earth 'spun' through the force that was causing
the magnetic field disruption. The only force that can
collapse the Earth's magnetic field is the Sun‘s magnetic field.
A blast of energy was emitted that was strong enough to collapse
the Earth's magnetic field on April 11th and 12th of 2001.
Luckily, these missed us. As you know, the sun goes though
eleven-year cycles, and these cycles correspond to the Mayan
calendar. Every eleven years, as the sun flips its magnetic
field, it winds up the 'big' magnetic field within the Sun.
Some say that every eleven years, the repercussions of the Sun Field
Flip are stronger, with this year being the biggest display of solar
activity ever in recorded history (albeit a small recorded history
;-) ). From what I understand, the Mayan calendar says
this age will end in the year 2012, which is a Sun Magnetic Field
Flip solar cycle year.
In your book you mention a clue. You say a Peruvian myth of
the flood says it began when the sun looked as if it had two faces,
or in my translation, cut in half. Imagine a polarity reversal
that was so strong it created a rift of magnetic field differential
that stretched across the face of the Sun, fully aligned with the
Earth (a sun spot river that streamed across the Sun, if you'd like
another metaphor). Then, as the Sun unleashes wave after wave
of cataclysmic solar flares that wash across the Earth, the Earth's
field collapses totally, for days . . . or weeks . . . or
more. The ozone is briefly destroyed and the Earth's core
begins to heat up fast. This, in turn, can cause variations in
the core rotational velocity. If this all happens when the Earth is
in the proper 'balance', in my opinion, it can cause the mantle
shift you describe. Not only could it cause the mantle shift,
but it could also cause increased volcanism, dramatic tectonic
activity, rapid but short lived world wide ambient air temperature
increases, and subsequent ice cap reduction (compounded on top of
ice melting because of it's new location due to crust shift and you
get big time, fast acting, but short lived flood). Forty days
of flood sounds about right . . . "

Rand replied with some questions:
"My problem is simply this: the 41,000 year tilt cycle seems
to coincide with climatic change and it would seem unlikely that the
Sun's magnetic flares would somehow connect with the tilt
cycle. Of course, it may turn out that the relationship
between the tilt and climatic change will not hold up and if so then
your theory certainly is a good explanation.
Since I'm not investigating this problem right now I can only
suggest that putting it up on my web site might bring others into
the discussion. "
- Rand Flem-Ath
Upon which I replied with some answers and an offer:
"Actually, even if there is a proven relationship between
tilt and climatic change, in my current hypothesis, the Sun flaring
WOULD cause dramatic climatic changes as the Earth's core would heat
up. A big test . . . does increased volcanism occur during
pole shift? If the answer is yes (and my intuition tells me it
is), then that would explain the climate change. Basically, as
the core heats up due to magnetic induction, it causes increasing
turbulence within the magma. The same causes for the
crust/mantle slip would also cause increased volcanic activity and
or earthquake activity. Depending upon what was released by
that volcanic activity (ash = colder / gasses = hotter) the climate
would be dramatically impacted. As you know, Atlantis myth is
steeped with legends of volcanic activity. I believe that
research can address this question with a reasonable degree of
certainty, and I am already pursuing this line of
thought.

After much research, I wrote this article to present my ideas,
and I hope you, the educated reader, will join in the
discussion. The following sections take you through a journey
that includes many areas of science, some of which might be
unfamiliar. A brief primer is presented in this next section, and
should provide the background information necessary to judge the
hypothesis. On to the Primer
