THE POLAR MYSTERIES<br />

I37<br />

has shrunk like an orange while its core cooled off and has<br />

formed four continents and four big oceans that keep moving all<br />

the time and travel from one geographical location to another<br />

very, very slowly in relation to the rotational axis of our planet.<br />

These global movements could be called the polar rounds and<br />

they make it difficult to calculate the correlations between<br />

different measurement systems in different countries of the world<br />

if these systems are many thousands of years old.<br />

It is necessary to know the displacements of the poles to come<br />

up with the right results,<br />

because each local standard of measurement<br />

varies with time. This is why I am convinced that only a<br />

system of measurement that does not change with the polar<br />

rounds could survive the time, and this system could only be<br />

based upon the unchanging circumference of our globe, not the<br />

changing longitudes and latitudes. The metric system is like that,<br />

and it must be as old as humanity itself.<br />

Not too long ago the geologists discovered that the hard outer<br />

crust of our earth floats<br />

on a molten mantle and that continents<br />

rest on separate tectonic plates. There are direct relations between<br />

the sliding of the plates and the changing of the polar ice<br />

caps, and what interests us here are the dates when these<br />

changes took place and their influence upon the lives of our ancestors.<br />

It appears that, in round figures, the poles remain stationary<br />

for periods of about 30,000 years, then move around for<br />

6,000 years, then again stay put for 30,000 years, and so on.<br />

Scientists have estabhshed that the last four rounds of the<br />

poles started 126,000 years ago when the North Pole installed itself<br />

in the territory of Yukon in Canada at 63° N and 135° W;<br />

then it went to the Greenland Sea at 72° N and 10° E about<br />

84,000 years ago, moved from 54,000 till 48,000 years ago and<br />

settled in the middle of Hudson Bay at 60° N and 83° W; it<br />

rested there for 30,000 years;<br />

then wandered again from about<br />

18,000 to about 12,000 years ago when it came to its present<br />

location. Simultaneously the South Pole went through similar<br />

gyrations but in the opposite direction. We have to note that its<br />

three previous locations were in their turn in the southern part<br />

of the Indian Ocean between Australia and the Antarctic but<br />

never on Antarctica itself. Only the last movement 12,000 years
