The story we heard up in Hapgood's hometown was that ice would accumulate near the poles, but not symmetrically. Eventually earth's wobble, which normally has a precession rate of once per 22,000 years and an arc of 23 degrees radius gets more unstable and shifts in one day to a new point of stability. Spinning tops do this. The crust itself might shift without needing the entire core to move as well. That would stir things up. It might also 'splain what happened when Joshua fit the battle of Jerico and the sun stood still or went backward or whatever it did.

Joshua reports that the sun and moon stood still. Velikovsky reports reading from "The Mexican annals"(?), "The night did not end for a long time....The sun would rise just above the horizon and stand still."
I've read other sources that report that the sun rose twice in the same day but the writer attributed that to a close flyby of a comet. I'll keep my mind open but, we're getting a little far out there for my comfort.
Wouldn't ice accumulation occur greatest during the peak of an ice age.(..or have reached maximum accumulation) Might that be a good probable date to look for a 'shift' of the poles? Might all ice ages begin to end after one of these shifts...and might this shift be normal for all ices, hmmmm. (New areas of thought for me. lol) Thinking to myself, If weather patterns move from west to east wouldn't it rain out most on the western side of any land mass and the ice would accumulate most there so any shift would be toward the west?
