There are two kinds of pole shift. One kind is the magnetic field, and that seems to have happened many times and is happening now. The other is more or less catastrophic and involves either earth’s crust or the whole planet tipping over. That might have happened as recently as 12,000 years ago and be a regular event.

You are incorrect. The magnetic poles flip, but the crust doesn’t. The continents move around on it, but that takes 100s of millions of years. I think the Atlantic started forming during the Jurrasic.

Considering the angular momentum generated by a spinning PLANET I think I'm going to have to call BS on that one.
Or is there any evidence that this has ever happened in history? I know that the earth precesses on it's rotation axis every 14,000 years which shoots the pole star from Polaris to Vega, but an actual turnover of the Earth??

That theory is not supported by core samples from the poles and elsewhere.

While I don't understand the technical aspect of pole shifts and magnetic fields, it is nice to know that someone is keeping tabs on it.
