Is it just a coincidence that more than two million huge holes were gouged into the ground - all at the same time - about 12,000 years ago at a magnetic reversal?
Usually not more than 20 feet deep - which means that they were probably not formed by meteoric impacts - the holes range in size from one acre to several thousand acres, and measure up seven miles across.
Scientists estimate that there could be more than two million Carolina bays (sometimes under different names) spread across the United States from Florida to New Jersey to Texas.
I sure wouldnt have wanted to be standing at ground zero when one of those holes was punched into the ground.
What created these giant paw prints in the ground?
Today, the general consensus is that these massive elliptical scars were somehow created by a comet or meteorite exploding above the earth.
But I dont think its a coincidence that the Carolina bays were created at about the same time as the Gothenburg magnetic reversal. Besides, almost no meteorites have ever been found in the Carolinas.
I think those holes were blasted into the soil by millions of explosions in the sky, explosions triggered by the reversal (as I explain in Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps).
You can see these bays for yourself on Google Earth. If you look at the North Carolina/South Carolina region, then zoom in on an area about 18 miles southeast of Fayetteville, NC youll see more than 20 such depressions in a tiny area a mere 12 miles by 9 miles across.
Thanks!
I am a descendant of the Waccamaw Souian. The tribe is called “People of the Fallen Star”. Lake Waccamaw is the largest Caolina Bay. I have 75 acres just 1 mile north of the Lake. I have recently uncovered a large ironite spherule which, unfortunately, broke apart during excavating a ditch line. THE OBJECT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT IN DIAMETER AND CONTAINED GLASSY CRYSTALS. I have found additional ironite objects mostly 1-3” in diameter at the site of the excavation.I have given 1 portion of the large ironite to the NC Museum of Natural History which is probably in a drawer somewhere. If one needs proof of a cataclysmic burn or impact, additional excavation to a depth of 8’ revealed a layer of “blue clay”, Kaolinite, approximately 2’ thick. This clay is infused with a high amount of crystals. Just below that I encountered a thin strip of Black material (that I have not been able to identify) overlying a 1-2’ layer of concreted seashells and fossil matter.
thanks for the comment, fascinating. So, just as in Australia, the indigenous people have an oral tradition of the event. Do you know anything more of the legend of the 'People of the Fallen Star' - I would be most interested to hear it.
Excellent. I’m sure the authors of the “Cycles...” book (message 50 in this thread) would love to take a look at it.
Last week, I was attending a training session and our
instructor showed a NatGEO film about magnetic pole
reversal and it showed areas of the south atlantic that
have already shifted and other areas or islands of pole
wandering. It sometimes happens real fast, but others
take more time and fluctuate.
