Please read this Ancient Eygptian text, Eygptians were great in astronomy and they were very aware of the sun's movements.

Papyrus Anastasi IV 1279 BC "The sun it has come to pass riseth not...winter is come instead of summer...the hours are disordered."

The "retrograde" of planets cannot explain the rising of the sun from another place......

From the Egyptian tomb of Horemheb "Harakhte, only god, king of the gods; he rises in the west, he sends his beauty.."

Ra-Harakhte (Horus of the two horizons) This horus was identified with Ra and the daily voyage of the sun from horizon to horizon. The two deities combined to become Ra-Harakhte. He was represented as a falcon or a falcon-headed man wearing the solar disk and double crown or the uraeus and the atef crown.

That means the sun rises from the west before a possible shift of rotation.

Now the sun rises from the east.

We know that there is a magnetic north-south pole shift.

But the question is, have earth ever change the direction of rotation. If it does, was there earthquakes, floods, major changes on the lands of this planet?

Yes, If I recall correctly, the rotation slows down ever so slightly all the time, eventually earth should get tidally locked towards the moon... But this will take billions of years to complete, by which time we will have other problems...

Depends on how you define the change of direction of rotation. The rotation axis itself seems to rotate a bit making seasons shorter and longer, but this too happens very, very slowly.

As for the kind of effect you're seeking, sudden 180 degree change in the direction of rotation... no, there's no signs of such a huge even ever occuring, particularly not during the written history of mankind. I can't properly understand the kind of energies but I know that I wouldn't want to be involved in such an event...

Suffice it to say though, that when such massive bodies as planets are rotating with speeds sufficient to make equatorial regions move almost 500 meters a second and then not only grind to halt but to also start moving in the opposite direction, you better watch out for incoming objects because earth just stopped and you kept moving!

Earth quakes? Earth rip-aparts more like...

But I got the translation of Plato's Politicus (Statesman)
http://ethics.sandiego.edu/books/pla..._politicus.htm

The following quote is from Plato's Politicus
"Str. No, not that; but another part of the story, which tells how the sun and the stars once rose in the west, and set in the east, and that the god reversed their motion, and gave them that which they now have as a testimony to the right of Atreus."

The Papyrus Ipuwer states: "the earth turned upside down" and "the land turns round (over) like a potter's wheel." End of this line 8 and beginning line 9. Right to left.

Original Eygptian text
http://sunnyokanagan.com/joshua/upsidedown.html

What happen if earth rotates in the same direction but the entire pole moved 180 degrees? It will make everything reversed include the sunrise position of the sun???

Cultural mythologies are certainly interesting, but I'd recommend against reading anything deeply into them. In this case, the sheer amount of energy that would be required to stop or reverse Earth's rotation would yield intensely catastrophic results. Perhaps someone more motivated than I could undertake the necessary calculations (there are pertinent examples with accompanying math listed on this page), but suffice to say it would effect the end of all life on the planet and a great deal more.

Magnetic polar reversals are another matter, and well-supported by evidence.

Thank you very much for the links.

In the last paragraph of this link:
http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/nmp/reversals_e.php

"Many authors have pointed out that the dipole part of the magnetic field has been weakening during historic times, and that if the present trend continues, the dipole field will go to zero in roughly 1500 years. Some people take this to mean that we are entering a reversal. Although this possibility cannot be discounted, many investigators believe that the trend will not continue and that the field will regain its strength, as it has many times in the past."

What can happen on the crust, tide, and atmosphere when the dipole field go to zero after 1500 years?

Nothing much. It's just the magnetic field reversing (with associated deep, deep, deep core material -- that is always on the move some way). Change is normal.

NASA: Earth's Inconstant Magnetic Field (cited above by Woverine):

Thank you for your reply.

Was this magnetic field reversing causes the Eygptians' problem on their astronomy calculations in the past?

Also, During the thousand years of reverse of magnetic pole, will the change make compass navigation around the world difficult like it was in Bermuda Triangle? (I know that planes and ships use compass...)

Finally, so far I know that there are magnetic pole, physical geographical pole, and the celestial pole/ERS Reference Pole (IRP)

During the magnetic pole reverse, will it have any effect on celestial pole rotation?

Yeah, if it had happened then, it would have messed up their compasses -- if they had any. But the last reversal was a long time ago.

Please present evidence for your assertion that compass navigation is difficult in the Bermuda Triangle.

Yes, it will be slightly more diffcult to navigate with a cheap compass and no information of the current state of the field. However, by that time, a decent compass (maybe even the cheapest ones) will no doubt be electronically tied to constantly updated data on where the multi-poles are, and what shape the field currently is. Heck, by that time, will compasses be anything but children's toys? That's almost the state of affairs now, what with the easy access to GPS.

I don't see how. The liquid core always swirls about and sometimes it swirls in a way that grossly affects the magnetic field of the planet. I don't know why that would affect the rotation of the much larger planet. Relax, and have faith in Earth's awesome angular momentum.

It was well known that magnetic storm cause navigation problems in the past, but you are right, as long as they have the GPS it should be fine, just pray that there is no malfunction of electricity supply of the planes and ships in the storm......



QUESTION: Are there any unknown magnetic fields in Antarctica
similar to those supposedly found in the Bermuda Triangle? If so,
where is it located?

http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica...tions,Time,ZIP


This site is NOT a scientisfic site, but it gives the picture as example below, and the story of "Christopher Columbus" should be true.
http://www.crystalinks.com/bermuda_triangle.html

http://www.crystalinks.com/bermudacompass.gif
Unusual events in that area date back in recorded history to 1493 and the first voyage of Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) to the New World.

http://www.parascope.com/en/bermuda1.htm
http://bstar.net/bermudatriangle/geography.htm

Mariners are still thought in school how to navigate by the stars and the sun.
All you need is a clear sky. (And a good clock and of course a sextant.)

If there were any magnetic anomalies in the Triangle, we would know about it.
Ships sail through it all the time.

Thank you for your replies, guys. It helps a lot about it.

Now back to pole shift, as you explained to me magnetic pole shift does not affect the physical earth crust turning.

But would you please explain about the cause of this event in Egyptian text, "Papyrus Ipuwer". (not myth stories)

According to "Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt" by Margaret Bunson
Which means Papyrus Ipuwer was not a myth book but history recording.

In this translation:
http://www.specialtyinterests.net/ipuwer.html
2:5-6 "Plague is throughout the land. Blood is everywhere." 7:21 "... there is blood throughout all the land of Egypt."
2:8 "Forsooth, the land turns round like a potter's wheel."
2:10 "Forsooth, gates, columns and walls are consumed."

What was happening out there in Egypt at that time?

Also, I heard something called the "Occult Science" which have dealt with Astronomy. Should I be aware of these things?

servantx, please be sure to review our forum rules -- we have rather strict guidelines pertaining to copyright issues and the hotlinking of images. I've edited two of your posts above accordingly, where noted.

Sounds like a major earthquake to me. There are a number of plate boundaries and major faults in that part of the world.

As others have pointed out, there is no way it could have been a reversal of the Earth's rotation.
