Perhaps it is about time to bring in some cir
cumstantial evidence from old Mother Earth
herself. In polar Spitzbergen and around the
South Pole are TO be found deposits of coal,
substance which is generally supposed to be created
only by such lush vegetable growth as occurs only
under hot tropical conditions.
Capt. Roger Pocock, founder of the famous
Legion of Frontersmen, discovered close to the
Sptzbergen beaches fossil plants that could only
have grown in hot, fetid swamps His conclusion
from years of circumpolar studies is that Spitz-
bergen once lay on the earth's equator, whereas
now it is close to- the North Pole.
There Is plenty more evidence that this planet,
from 10000 20 II 900 years ago was sent Keeling
- some sort Of terrific shock which might have
petely shifted its axis.
MUTE, inanimate witnesses but still very
wi much in the flesh, are the mammoths occa-
sionay dug out Of Siberias area of eternal frost.
The mammoth, huge beast extinct since long
before history began, needed TO devour at least
half ton of fresh vegetation per day and would
hardly have sought that barren, frozen waste
which never thaws out, even in midsummer.
Yet there he has buried himself, not only with
all his flesh intact but sometimes, still fresh
enough TO be eaten. Clearly the climate must have
changed IN the twinkling Of an eye, from some
thing at least temperate to one that covered the
animals in shroud of ice and snow that has never
thawed out TO this day.
a scientific association in Vienna some years
ago, calculated that the disaster happened around
the year 1854 B. c. They said that the shock so
rocked our earth, which is like gyroscope but
with degrees of freedom which the device itself in
its gmbal rings does not possess, that the planet
reeed like a top that has been hit, and finally
shifted its axis.
This would explain the poles and the equator
swapping places, but they've puzzled by some
hing else which it did not account for The entire
temperature of the globe cooled so much that it
brought on the ice age.
So these witnesses leave the stand with the
fatering admission that they have said something
which they themselves can hardly believe Thus
far we have mustered evidence of a crime but not
a shred TO identify the criminal 1t is like one of
those meaningless coroner's verdicts which say:
Done with blunt instrument by person or
HSrsons unknown"
" We will now put on some more records of the
past from human beings who traced the footsteps
of the villain in the sky. In his De Civitate Del
St Augustine quotes from a lost book written by
Terentius Varro, one Of Pompeys lieutenants
against the Mediterranean pirates, as follows:
I'm the heavens an amazing sign appeared;
for the star of Venus. most noble that Plautus
callcth the evening star, and Homer, the morning
star and on which Castor writes saving that
such a portcnt existed, for it changed in color,
size form, shape and course than neither before
