Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on
iHeartRadio and.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norwy with you
along with Professor James McKenny. A few years ago, James
wrote a book called The Real History of Man on Earth, Myths,
Magic and Mayhem. Tell us about that title, James.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Well, it was born out of necessity. Here's the problem.
You have the old school archaeologists who talk about the
dating what we considered the traditional dating of the Egyptian
pyramids and history going back to say, the crossing of
the Bearing straight by wandering tribes killing mastodons or whatever.
(00:41):
And then what happened is you have kind of a
new group of people coming in who claim that that's
all wrong, which I agree with. But the problem is
they come in with their own dating strategies. In what
I'm saying in the book is basically, we don't know
what word we're discovering things. And I lived in Mexico
(01:02):
as a young person. I was at pyramid sites where
they had ten feet of dirt on top of the
pyramids and they were attributing them to the Aztecs. Well,
it's insane. These were far pre Aztec in near Mexico City.
So the whole dating structure. So you have the new
people coming in giving a dating structure and claiming that
(01:25):
asteroids hitting Earth caused human disasters, earthwise disasters. But there's
no holes, there's no craters in planet Earth that would
be of the magnitude that were to be Earth changing
in the timeframe we're talking about three to five thousand
years ago, or even ten thousand years ago, we would
(01:46):
have big, big craters. And so the new people coming
in are giving this time structure, which is bogus. Also,
so the book is trying to just plead with people
stop putting dates on things. We know that man has
been on this planet for a long time. I've been
saying that for a very long time. And so that's
(02:09):
basically the point of the book is the real history
of man on Earth and also saying that it's okay
to say we don't know. There are so many structures
now with lighter where they can see structures under the ground.
The whole world is filled with these and if you
dig down one hundred feet almost any place, you're going
(02:31):
to hit human civilization remnants. So we don't know. I
mean this Earth has been pummeled many times. One thing
I'm dealing with also is pole shifts, and there's so
much misinformation about poll shifts out there, between the difference
between magnetic pole shifts and physical poll shifts. I hear
(02:53):
people all the time talking about magnetic pole shifts. Oh,
that we're going to have a magnetic pole shift and
it's going to flip the Earth. And the reality is,
we have magnetic pole shifts probably twice a month, and
the Earth is not flipping on its axis. It's very different.
A physical pole shift requires a passing large body by
(03:17):
Earth to cause a physical poll shift. And we know
that the old Laurentian ice Cap was a was the
old North Pole. The old North Pole was in what
we now call Hudson Bay. And there have been many
pole shifts. So that means that many times large comet
and we're talking the size of maybe Venus type size
(03:38):
or larger have come by Earth and radically changed the
surface of Earth. And many of those events were when
we had human populations on Earth.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
What are more prevalent, what are more prevalent James pole
shifts that are magnetic or physical?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well, the magnetic ones, like I say, happen all the time.
And what happens is it's in the solar wind is
a magnetic field, and if it typically is matched with
ours north to north, but if it comes out and
it's strong enough in the north pole is facing downwards, well,
the opposite of Earth's magnetic field. Most of Earth's magnetic
(04:15):
field is plasma magnetic field. So it flips it and
we can see some weather effects and things like that.
But this happens all the time, maybe not twice a month,
but it's frequent, and so it's not the kind of
thing that will flip the surface of the Earth over
on its axis. And cause of pollshift, the physical pole
(04:35):
shift is it's like a gymnast. Gymnasts in outer space
is not going to fare very well because they don't
have any frame of reference. They don't have anything to
push against, they don't have bars, So they're trying to
do gymnastics in space with no equipment. It's not going
to work. And that's the situation with Earth. We don't
(04:56):
have The Earth is spinning, the core is spinning, So
the only way to have a pole shift is for
something big to come by and send a gravitational wave
into the manteline crust of Earth and shift them over
the spinning core, which is basically molten. So anyway, that's
the big difference in the pole shifts. The physical poll
(05:18):
shifts are really very rare, but they're more common than
what people believe. Standard astronomy says that the planet Earth
formed four and a half billion years ago and nothing
has happened since. And it's just the evidence is overwhelming
that we've had many pole shifts, which means many times
(05:39):
large objects have come by Earth and done a lot
of damage. We don't have a lot of history of that.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Why do they say things like magnetic pole shifts, birds
will smash in the buildings, everything will be in chaos.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Well, you know, it would happen every month. We would
have ongoing disasters because it's a very common for the
solar magnetic field to flip. It's a very common event,
and so and you don't see that, and so there's
a lot of confusion. I see it all the time.
People send me, Oh, they were going to have a
(06:13):
poll flip here coming up, and they make a prediction,
or they talk about a pole shift in the past
or something, but they're talking about the magnetic pole and
they're trying to claim that it's going to cause a
physical pole shift, and that's simply not true. Yeah, the
physical pole shift is very rare, isn't it. Oh yeah,
(06:35):
it's something, but we've had them in historical times, and
the ancients refer to that. You know, almost every ancient
culture refers to the most recent one. And there again,
I don't put dates on these. There are people like
Belakowski that put a date of fifteen hundred BC, and
(06:58):
it's the best dating that I've seen, but I wouldn't
hang my hand on it myself. It could have been
a lot longer. I mean, we just don't have a
lot of history to the basis on. All we know
is that these stories come down from every ancient culture.
We also have the Great Flood, which was not a
pol shift. There was simply a flood of water that
(07:21):
came from outer space when Earth passed through the tail
of a large comet. And so these events have happened
in the past. But the poll shifts are really rare.
I mean, there might be millions of years between physical
pol shifts. We don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It is truly remarkable. Do other planets go through shifting.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yes, absolutely, Mars did. In fact, there's evidence that ancients
talked about Mars being a blue planet and having oceans,
and it has all the characteristics, all the surface characteristics
of recent water. I've been in like American Geophysical Union
meetings with NASA geologists, and under their breadth they will
(08:05):
tell you that all of the erosion on Mars is recent,
but they can't say it. It's politically incorrect. It's probably
might lose your job at NASA if you say that.
But in a closed setting, in a private meeting, they
will tell you that that and you can see it
if you take the in the center of my weather book,
(08:29):
the Prince Hippia Mediologia Physics of Some on Earth Weather,
I've got eight plates that cover the entire surface of Mars,
and you can see the water erosion on a grand scale,
and if you get down really on a microscopic scale,
Mars has very recent erosion patterns. And Mars has these
dust storms every year that if that were billions of
(08:52):
years ago, all of that surface structure would be blown
away and erode it away with dust storms happening all
the time there. So it's just proof that Mars had
oceans and atmosphere and water recently, and so it was
a victim of a large passing comet. And the ancients
talk about Mars being a blue planet at one time.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Are pollshifts dangerous Jim.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh, yeah, you would not want to be in one.
As the earthquake level, because people have asked me about this,
because we're talking about physical movement of the crust and
mantle of the Earth, it would be maybe on a
Richter scale, maybe twenty to twenty five, that would be
(09:39):
the level of upsetting the apple cart on planet Earth,
so tremendous. And this is the cause of mountain building. Also,
plate tectonics does not explain mountain building. The only thing
that explains mountain building is literally a land tsunami from
(10:00):
a large passing object. In that land wave, as the
energy hits up against the existing mountain range, that all
that energy goes into up thrust mountains and that's the
way mountains are formed. We have a Native American history
that they talk about verbal legends where they talk about
(10:23):
mountains being formed overnight. The Mayans talk about it. The
Mayans talk about ketzl Quaddle, which was Venus, the plume serpent,
god of the night sky. Whose heart became the planet Venus,
causing mountain building. And so these legends come down. So
there was apparently one recent one and then before that
(10:44):
maybe thousands of years, ten hundred thousand. We don't really
have a good history of that, and so and I'm
not going to be one to put dates on things.
It's just that we know these things happened. There's evidence
and that man made structures followed these different pole shops
(11:05):
when I was when I was young, like I say,
I lived in Mexico, I visited chichen Itza long before
it was a tourist attraction. But then I went back
in the nineties and with equipment to survey chichen Itza
and tuloom Uxmal and chichen Itza is thirteen and a
half degrees off the cardinal coordinates. It's not aligned with anything.
(11:27):
And that's because they came along and they built the
they rebuilt the city on the old gridwork, which was
and if you look at the the take the coordinates
of those different cities, they all meet up in Hudson's Bay,
which was Other people have said that Hudson Bay was
(11:49):
an old north pole what's his name, Hapgood and was
one of them, but you can. Yeah, the Chichen Eats
is not built on the cardinal coordinates up to it's
way off thirteen and a half degrees off. So anyway,
we have a lot of this evidence. It's just that
we're not sure when these things happened. And like I say,
(12:13):
my book The Real History of Man and Earth, Mythsmagic
and Mayhem, is about not putting dates on things, not
trying to assign dates because we really don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
With Professor James McKenny talking about pullships talking about artificial intelligence,
his website is linked up at Coast tocoastdan dot com.
We're going to take calls with him next hour here
on Coast to Coast. Can pullships be devastating to humanity?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh? Absolutely Yeah, they're going to rock the human race
to the core. And the thing is, before these, apparently
there were large human populations on Earth, very well defined
popular relations, and they were able to survive. So the
(13:03):
human race has gone through many of these. It's just
that today's scholars deny it. They say, oh, no, nothing happened.
Earth is was formed four and a half billion years ago,
and really nothing has happened since except maybe a few
minor asteroid collisions or something like that that maybe killed
the dinosaurs, and that's really not the case. The big
(13:27):
events were due to large passing comets.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's scary, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Well, I don't anticipate any in the near future. There's
no evidence that this is going to happen soon. Are
they predictable, Well in a sense, yeah, but they can
be something that's on short notice, because say that the
trip for like a comet like Hailbop, which is a
medium sized comet, not a really big one, but it
(13:59):
was in the solar system for six years from this
time of discovery it's through the nineties. And but that's
relatively short notice, you know, the three four year notice
is not very much.
