Abstract: Using Google Earth and browsing the geographic appearance of the Earths crust starting from the South Pacific Ocean right above Antarctica and traveling over to Drakes Passage and into the South Atlantic Ocean there seems to be a visual trace that some sort of cosmic collision occurred in that area. (See Figure 1) The impact of the object surfed across the ocean and collided with the bottom of South America where it once connected to Antarctica creating Drakes Passage opening. This impact also may have had the kinetic energy to break the Earths crustal plate and create the fault lines (See Figure 3) in addition to changing Earths axial tilt (See Figure 2).[Report and Opinion. 2010;2(2):1-2]. (ISSN: 1553-9873). |

Figure 1. Impact collision point and path of motion for the cosmic object
They say pictures speak a thousand words so before you read what Im about to say take a moment and study the photos shown in figures below. In Figure 1, you can see a red outline drawn to represent the impact site and the path of trajectory. The object hit the South Atlantic Ocean and surfed around the top edge of Antarctica until colliding with what was once the connected land mass between the bottom tip of South America and Antarctica known as Drakes Passage (Figure 4). As the object surfed across the ocean it tore away at the ice sheet and created a gigantic wave across the Pacific Ocean destroying almost every land mass above sea level in its path. The force of the water can be easily seen carving out the entire western coastline of South America all the way up to Mexico (Figure 5). The Mayans placed a monument on Robinson Crusoe Island off the coast of Chile and some people believe this is Apocalypse Island. If this impact really did occur then this island would most definitely have been the center point which experienced the most horrific events from the tsunami and shock wave from the energy released in the area. Perhaps the civilization at Machu Picchu in Peru was started because it was the only place left to inhabit after this event occurred in the region. All history was wiped off the face of the southern hemisphere surrounding this impact and affected all civilizations across the globe. The shock wave and amount of water that was displaced out of the Pacific could have travelled as far East as the Lost City of Atlantis. There is a Google Earth image at the bottom of the Atlantic Sea showing a grid-like pattern on the ocean floor which may resemble a man-made city structure about 620 miles of the coast of Spain near the Canary Islands. The force of impact would have created the fault line that broke the Earths plate right down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and would have flooded most of the plains in the area. The story of Atlantis speaks of giant volcano popping out of the Earth and destroying everything and then the city just sinks away under water. Depending on what this cosmic object was made out of it could have added to the Earths water mass and increased the amount of water on the planet. Astronomers have found asteroids that contain large amounts of frozen water and this type of object may have been what hit Earth.
Figure 2. Earths Axial Tilt in Relation to the Impact Site If you study the fault line Figure 3 below you will notice that there are breaks in Earths plate along the exact impact location surrounding the boundaries of the objects path as it traveled across the crust after impact. The force exerted on Earths crust perfectly demonstrates the pattern of cracks along stress points from the aftershock across the entire planet. In addition to the fault lines, Earths axial tilt was created from this cosmic impact as well. Take a look at Figure 2 to the left and how the impact location perfectly represents the physics associated with such a collision rotating our planets center of spin. Figure 3.

All this evidence puts into perspective the possibility of such a cosmic impact having occurred here on the planet Earth within recorded history and the existence of human kind.

Will do. Thanky kindly.
FWIW, Drake's Passage has always looked to me like slippage of the Antarctic and South American plates westward past a "hard" or stationary spot in the ocean crust; or vice versa; or a combination of both. Same with the Caribbean which has a similar appearance. Like northern S.A. might have been "twisted" to the southeast away from N.A. I'm sure absence of a continental shelf at the eastern tip of S.A. might tell us something; I just don't know what it might be. N.A., for whatever reasons, appears to have retained most or all of its southern and eastern continental shelf.
Anywho, I'm all but convinced our planet went through some significant trauma during historical times and the few that lived to tell about it have been written off as nut cases or cranks by the scientific community. Odd thing, most of the myths/legends/lore tell the same or similar tale.
My pleasure.
Here’s the PDF file the author has online (was there yesterday):
http://www.sciencepub.net/report/report0202/01_1282_Impact_pub_report0202_1_2.pdf
The Eltanin impact (somewhat more than 2 million years ago, and not nearly long enough ago for his scenario) evidence was found during the Int’l Geophysical Year (which actually started in the 1950s and continued into the 1960s, iow, it lasted much longer than a year) by (no surprise here) the research vessel Eltanin. Some research has been done subsequent to that, including the finding of a layer of iridium from the impact.
Another FR topic which will probably be of interest:

I agree, but I’ve turned over a new leaf and don’t post the link to that book at the drop of every hat. Uh-oh... I feel an uncontrollable urge coming on... [’Civ quickly clicks the close box on the tab]
In a related thread, Michael Moore checks into a Fat Camp.....
re mdraghici article in 2010 that cosmic impact caused Earth axis tilt and wobble...check out new evidence in BEFORE THE DELUSION by Wm Gleeson, recently published in UK.
Similar proposition as mdraghici but with a lot more and different ‘evidence’. an interesting and entertauning read. RossMelb
the tilt gives us our seasons
the wobble is very slow- like on the order of 11,000 years or something
Right now the north star is exactly north because of the wobble- but there are times when it is not
