3. At risk of spinning off at a tangent ...

... the people to read about to get a background on pole shifts in
this context are:

- Sir John Evans (1860s)

- Hugh Auchincloss Brown (1940s)

- Charles Hapgood (1950s)

(i.e., rather than the likes of Cayce and his successors) but watch
out for the inevitable nutcase links that tag onto their names (not to
mention the plagiarists who write science fiction without giving any
credit to their inspiration ...).

Yes, there are some errors and/or invalid assumptions in their writings
(especially to readers with the benefit of decades of subsequent scientific
advances) but there have also been some support for their findings over
that time as well.

Also note that "rapid movement" to a geologist usually means
"in less than a few million years" (similar to understanding the difference
between "sudden climate change" to an oceanographer and to the makers
of "The Day After Tomorrow&quot .
