What causes Earth's climate change? Displacement of the earth's axis. Truth or fiction

Around its axis, resulting in a change of day and night. But how strictly constant is the direction of the imaginary earth's axis in space? Or is this rotation causing movement of the earth's poles?

Earth is a spinning top

Our Earth is essentially a colossal, constantly spinning top, in many ways similar to the toy that we are used to seeing in the hands of children. No matter how hard you run this children's spinning top, anyway, its rotation speed after one or two minutes will begin to slow down, and the upper end of its axis will begin to describe larger and larger circles. Eventually, the top will fall.

As for the Earth, it rotates like a top around its axis already several billion years. The axis of its rotation has all the time almost the same direction in space; in other words, it moves parallel to itself, performing, as they say in mechanics, translational motion along the orbit. But, strictly speaking, the earth's axis has some slight deviations from a constant direction; however, these deviations are so small that their presence can be established only after very large intervals of time.

In addition, the earth's axis constantly makes small oscillations with a period of about 18.6 years. These oscillations are called nutation.

The equator of the Earth is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of our planet and, as a result, of course, also moves, causing in turn a change in the latitude of points fixed on the earth's surface.

In 1884 astronomer Kustner It was possible to discover that the latitudes of various points on the surface of the Earth change periodically.

The incessant movement of the earth's poles

Subsequently, this was explained by the fact that the points of the earth's poles are not fixed - staying strictly at rest all the time. Astronomical observations have shown that both Earth's poles are constantly moving, describing some irregular circles of a larger or smaller radius with a period of about 433 days.

Famous mathematician Leonhard Euler in his studies showed that such a relatively short period during which the earth's poles move indicates that the internal parts of the Earth are in a solid state and that the lower the hardness of the Earth, the longer the period of movement of its poles should be.

We now know that moving, for example, The north pole of the earth is so small that he always remains inside a certain square with a side of 20 meters. This movement of the earth's poles is due to the fact that the direction of the earth's axis inside the globe is constantly changing, albeit only slightly.

What changes can the shifting of the Earth's axis cause?

Let's see what happens if the earth's axis, while maintaining a strictly constant direction in space, at the same time changes its position sharply and on a large scale within the Earth itself. Suppose that due to some reasons unknown to us, the earth's axis suddenly shifted sharply inside our planet and made a turn around the center of the globe by 90 degrees. What changes will behind this incredible phenomenon displacement of the earth's axis?

Under the influence of the tropical heat, the eternal snows and those surrounding the North and South Poles will begin to melt; the melt waters will flood large spaces and, with their powerful pressure, will, as it were, “support” the rivers that are currently flowing in the northern and southern directions, causing them to flow backward; Whole mountains of ice seem to come to life, wake up from a centuries-old sleep and crawl along the earth's surface; new rivers and lakes will then cover the Earth. In a word, a great change will take place.

Polar bears, unaccustomed to tropical heat, with a wild howl will seek refuge from the scorching rays of the sun in vain. On the other hand, arctic severe frost will cover the territory of India. In desperation, wild animals of this once hot country will rush about.

The polar night will envelop India for six long months. Here they will no longer see the Sun at its zenith. Frost forges the plant world here. The Indian Ocean will turn into the Arctic Sea, its waters will be covered with a thick layer of ice, and ocean steamers will no longer cross their expanses. And the current polar seas will turn into boundless oceans and will be able to become one of the routes of communication between the Old and New Worlds.

Let us now mentally assume the opposite phenomenon. Let, for example, the earth's axis, while maintaining its unchanged position inside the earth, turn in space by 90 degrees and coincide with the plane of the earth's orbit.

Then the Earth will not move, but roll along its orbit, facing the Sun all the time with only one, for example, the North Pole. Such an approximately progressive movement, as if lying on its side, is currently being performed in the solar system by only one planet - Uranus. Its axis is tilted only at an angle of 7° to the plane of its orbit.

Some planets of the solar system (for example, Mercury) move in their orbit in such a way that they face the Sun all the time with only one side. But Mercury does not roll, but moves in an orbit (just as the Moon revolves around the Earth), making at the same time a complete revolution around the axis and around the Sun.

It is difficult to judge how long our planet could maintain such a position, but one thing is clear that in this case in the Northern Hemisphere, facing the Sun, there will be eternal summer and an eternally hot day. There will never be precipitation in the form of snow and the rivers will never freeze.

All heat-loving birds and animals will move to this hemisphere. Over time, its flora and fauna will change. The animal and plant world will gradually adapt to life in the conditions of an eternal day under the rays of the ever-scorching Sun.

On the other, opposite, hemisphere of our planet at the same time there will be an eternally cold winter and an eternally dark night. A ray of sunshine will never penetrate here, and such cold will rage that the worst frosts of Verkhoyansk will seem like a thaw.

Under such temperature conditions, of course, the entire animal and plant world will disappear. All this hemisphere will represent one solid cemetery, bound by severe frost.

If we assume that the Earth's axis, for some unknown reason, while maintaining its position inside the Earth, will lose the stability of its direction in space and will occupy different positions relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit, even more amazing changes should occur on our planet.

Then the points of the earth's poles, occupying the same position on the surface of the Earth, will simultaneously constantly change their direction relative to our daylight.

Under these conditions, those conditional lines that we call parallels and meridians; the division of the surface of the globe into cold and hot zones will lose its significance; then there will be no such concepts as tropical countries and polar regions; then the climatic conditions of various zones on the surface of our planet will change chaotically.

Due to such instability of the direction of the earth's axis, the correct alternation of winter and summer, the correct change of day and night will be disturbed; our idea of ​​days will be broken; we will not be able to determine when a new day begins, and the day itself will cease to be the natural phenomenon to which we are accustomed.

These are the unpleasant and terrible phenomena on Earth that could take place if the earth's axis suddenly began to occupy a different direction in space, or if it lost the stability of its position relative to the plane of the earth's orbit.

The importance of a stable direction in the space of the earth's axis

But, as we already know, the earth's axis quite strictly preserves the stability of its direction in space, all the time it moves in general parallel to itself. We are, therefore, forever freed from the transformations described above, and we now fully understand what an exceptionally important significance for the life of the Earth is the invariance of the direction in space of its axis of rotation.

It led to a shift in the axis of rotation of the Earth by almost 10 centimeters, said the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Italy.

Earth's own axis (figure axis) - the axis around which the Earth is balanced in mass. The displacement of the earth's axis leads to an imbalance between the earth and the sidereal year and is associated with a change in astronomical coordinates. This phenomenon, on the one hand, is caused by strong earthquakes, on the other hand, it can lead to a further increase in natural disasters.

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake of magnitude 8.9 hit Japan. Its epicenter was located 373 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, and the focus lay at a depth of 24 kilometers.

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) specialist Richard Gross believes that the earthquake could have shifted the Earth's axis by about 15 centimeters towards 139 degrees east longitude. The length of the day should be reduced by 1.6 microseconds.

Specialists of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Italy reported that, according to their calculations, as a result of the earthquake, the axis shifted by almost 10 centimeters.

According to Leonid Zotov, an employee of the gravimetry laboratory of the Sternberg State Astronomical Institute (GAISh) of Moscow State University, theoretical axis shifts of 6-8 centimeters were predicted for many large earthquakes, but they were not confirmed by observations.

Zotov notes that it is possible to obtain the observations necessary for checking the calculations using several systems, in particular, the constellation of GPS satellites, which determines the coordinates of the geographic poles of the Earth four times a day. You can get these coordinates in a higher resolution, but for this you need to run the processing program. This is, in Zotov's words, "a non-trivial thing." There is also a system of radio telescopes with a very long baseline (VLBI), which gives coordinates once a day.

Leonid Zotov notes that these changes have not yet been observed, if it is possible to carry out such monitoring - "it will be a big progress."

The Earth's own axis shifts a little on its own, without any catastrophic events, as a result of slow geological processes. For example, the last ice age ended about 11 thousand years ago, and huge masses of ice disappeared from the surface of the continents and oceans. This not only led to a redistribution of mass, but also "unloaded" the earth's mantle, allowing it to assume a shape close to spherical. This process has not yet been completed, and as a result of it, the axis on which our planet "balances" naturally shifts by about 10 centimeters per year.

The material was prepared on the basis of information from RIA Novosti and open sources

Axis of the World - an imaginary line stretching from the North Pole of Heaven to the South and passing through a certain point on Earth. The myth of rotation of the Earth's axis is connected with the Axis of the World. Fantasists attribute this phenomenon to reality and assure that in ancient times the axis of the planet changed its position. As a result of this, allegedly, the climate on Earth changed, and all sorts of cataclysms occurred.

Plato once wrote about the rotation of the Earth's axis. His stories about the rotation of the Earth's axis and the fact that as a result of this the waters of the Nile did not flow back, at all times excited the imagination of historians and other researchers.

In fact, here we are faced with the phenomenon of precession - clockwise movement of the Earth's axis of rotation (see Fig. 3). The astronomical period of rotation is about 25750 years (according to modern data). In ancient times, this period was called "Platon's year" and was defined as follows: " about 26,000 years, during which the pole of the celestial equator makes a full circle around the pole of the ecliptic» .

All ancient cartography, geography and mythology are tied to the period of precession. The meaning of this link is as follows. Svarogov (Platonov, zodiac) year consists of 12 eras (zodiac signs), each of 2145 years. For 1 era, the Axis of the World turns by 30 degrees, that is, the movable Center of the World moves around the circle of precession and ends up in another place. Today - in the tail of Ursa Minor. The Axis of the World rotates by 10 degrees in 715 astronomical years. By 1 degree - respectively, for 71.5 years (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. Precession of the Earth's axis of rotation.

But there is also a religious analogue of this system. It has a precession period of 24,000 years. The duration of 1 era is 2000 years. 10 degrees - in 666 years. 1 degree - in 70 years.

On this mathematics - astronomical and religious - ancient maps were formed, as well as the mythology accompanying them. Astronomical mythology is fairy tales, sagas, legends. Religious mythology is the Abrahamic religions, the bible. At the rate of 666, (6) years, strictly in the religious canon, Byzantium - Istanbul was "founded".

Since the original views on cartography were built on the basis of the rotation of the constellations around the Center of the Sky, the movement of the Axis of the World was represented as a rotation. One end of the Axis of the World is fixed in the Center of the World, and the other end freely rotates at the speed of precession (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. Displaying a map of the Sky on the surface of the Earth (with its center in Constantinople-Istanbul, ca. 1,000 BC).

However, modern views have turned the map of the Earth into a flat space stretched over a plane (sheet of paper) or a sphere (globe). The reflection of the sky has disappeared. Therefore, the Axis of the World turned out to be aligned with the meridian, and its rotation occurs on the surface of the planet in the direction of the East.

And finally, the direction of movement of the Axis of the World also has two options. The rotational movement of the Axis of the World according to astronomical concepts (when we look at the North Star) occurs counterclockwise. This rotation, imprinted on the Earth, becomes a mirror, that is, clockwise (if you look at the Earth from the Sky).

Rice. 3. Variant of the Axis of the World of the 1st millennium BC. - Pulkovo meridian.

The same applies to the direction of movement of the Axis of the World with the modern representation of the map of the World. The astronomical reference is carried out in the direction of the east, and the religious one has different options, including in the direction of the west. For this reason, under pressure from the Catholic Church, the Zero Meridian moved from Pulkovo (Fig. 3) to the west - first to Paris, and then to Greenwich.

Pyramids of Giza

The pyramids of Giza are strange monuments, the explanation of which has not yet been given. The objectives of this work do not include the study of the pyramids, but some cartographic data will still have to be voiced.

An indicative line forms the direction from the central pyramid of the complex (Khefren's pyramid) through the Great Sphinx at an angle of 102 degrees (Fig. 4), counted from the northern direction.

Counting from the year 5509, and based on the calculation, 71.5 years per 1 degree, we get that the turn by 102 degrees took place in 1785. In this year, the future builder of the Egyptian pyramids, a mythological character named Napoleon Buonaparte, began military service with the rank of second lieutenant of artillery. And in St. Petersburg - a city located at the northern end of the same Axis of the World - in 1785 the City Duma was created.

If we use the religious chronology, then by 102 degrees from 5509 at 66, (6) years the Axis of the World turned by 1 degree in 1290. This year is interesting because astronomical and religious chronology converge in it, and also, according to religious beliefs, in this year the Jews were expelled from England by decree of Edward I.

For example, let us recall a similar mythologeme of such an “exile”: in 1492, the “expulsion of the Jews from Spain” also took place; as a result, Columbus “discovered” America that year.

Rice. 4. Pyramids of Giza: Pyramid of Khafre and alley to the Great Sphinx (photo from space).

The word "sphinx" literally means "axis", "spin" (as in Russian back). Most likely, the word is compound and in former times it was constructed from two words - “spin” (rotation) and “ax” (axis), that is, “axis rotation”.

Recall also that in 7000 from the creation of the world according to the Julian calendar, the end of the world was supposed to happen. As we have shown, the religious chronology wandered in the dark. On the one hand, 1 degree accounted for 66.6 years. On the other hand, 70 years (70 pillars, 70 Alexandria of Macedon, 70 books of the Bible, etc.). It is quite possible that the angle of rotation of the Axis of the world, equal to 102 degrees, was obtained from the arithmetic mean coefficient of these two values.

And if so, then the Great Sphinx guards the direction to the end of the world. In this case, the pyramids fix religious dogma, and religion is a relatively young phenomenon. That is, the pyramids were built in the Middle Ages.

Rice. 5. Pyramids of Egypt on Fra Mauro's map (1450).

Fra Mauro's map of the world also confirms our version. It was created ca. 1450 (or 1459), i.e. 40 years before the date of the end of the world (1492). This map already has the pyramids of Giza, and they are signed. But there are no pyramids on earlier maps.

Positions of the Axis of the World

The astronomically correct position of the Axis of the World is such that this line is fixed with its fixed end in Moscow, and the movable end moves clockwise from Tver in the direction of Vladimir, Ryazan, Tula, Kaluga.

Zodiac eras have the following dates:

• 8728 - 6582 BC. - the era of Cancer (Golden Age);
• 6582 - 4436 BC. - the era of Gemini (the zone of the constellation Perun - Bootes);
• 4436 - 2289 BC. - the era of Taurus (the zone of the constellation Dazhbog - Veronica's Hair);
• 2289 - 144 BC. - the era of Aries (the zone of the constellation Bogumir - the Lesser Lion);
• 144 BC - 2002 - the era of Pisces (the zone of the constellation Rurik-Roerich - Perseus);

The creation of the world - the event of the beginning of the countdown, when astronomical markers (the fixed center of the Northern sky, the position of the Earth's axis of rotation and the star Arcturus) stood on one line strictly to the north - took place in the middle of the Gemini era (5509 BC).

The end of the world, scheduled for 2002, meant the rotation of the axis by 105 degrees relative to the position on the day of the creation of the world. This rotation included 15 degrees - half of the era of Gemini (after all, the axis was in the center of the era) and three subsequent eras, each 30 degrees of Heaven.

The previous date - 7000 from the date of the Creation of the world - was calculated as a turn of 105 degrees, but this was a religious calculation: 1 degree 66, (6) years. It turned out 1492.

The astronomical date of the end of the world was based on the calculation of 71.5 years per 1 degree to rotate the same 105 degrees. It turned out 2002.

Each era has its own mythology and its own characters. Their interpretation, sometimes, generates errors. Thus, an incorrect interpretation of the Axis of the World and its rotation gave rise to the myth of the "living" "Scandinavian" Rurik (Erik, etc.) and the foundation of Russia (England, etc.) by him:

There is a widespread version about the "Scandinavian" Rurik, who allegedly came to Russia from the west in 862, and the official history of Russia allegedly begins with him.

According to the dating of the "Royal Annals", in 928 Harald puts Eric as the supreme king over the brothers, and in this year England was supposedly officially founded.

In fact, the time of Rurik is really the year 928. The phenomenon of Rurik-Erik is the rotation of the Axis of the World by 90 degrees, counting from the day of the Creation of the world (5509 BC). The discrepancy between the dates is caused by an incorrect interpretation of the chronology: astronomical reckoning is based on the fact that the rotation of the Axis of the World by 1 degree takes 71.5 years, the ecclesiastical one - a turn by 1 degree takes 66.6 years.

But in the church tradition there are also options - 70, 71, 72 years. From these discrepancies, different characters appeared in different years, but with similar names and / or functions.

In particular, at the rate of 1 degree in 71 years, the Axis of the World turned 90 degrees in 882 - at that time Prophetic Oleg, the Prince of Novgorod, began to rule in Kyiv. The cue is the Axis of the World. That is, Oleg literally became the owner of the axis. And Novgorod itself was founded by Prince Bravlin II in 790, the date of which is obtained and the calculation of 1 degree for 70 years. An example of folk wisdom is presented in the riddle of the Vologda Oblast formulated on this occasion (19th century): “ Peas crumbled into 70 roads; no one can collect - neither the priests, nor the deacons, nor us fools" (stars).

And from the calculation of 1 degree in 66, (6) years, it turns out that the Axis of the World turns 90 degrees in 6000 years, 180 degrees - in 12000 years. This is a "pure" church chronology. These dates are important for understanding Plato's legends about Atlantis, in which the author mentions Ancient Egypt, built by the Hyperboreans and Atlanteans.

Counting the year 6000 from 5509 BC, we get a significant religious date - 491 years. This year the Armenian Church separated from the Christian Church of Byzantium. The reason was the adoption at the Fourth Ecumenical Council of the dogma about the dual nature of Christ: “ He is not split or divided into two persons, but He is one and the same Only-Begotten Son, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ; just as the prophets of ancient times spoke of him».

Let's give another option - a turn of 1 degree in 70.5 years. It turns out the year 837 - on April 10, Halley's comet allegedly passed at a distance of 0.04 AU. e. (5 million km) from the Earth - this is its closest approach to the Earth.

We deliberately examined the calculations related to the rotation of the Axis of the World in such detail so that everyone can understand the importance of chronology for cartography and the myths accompanying it. And there were many such myths.

And in a time closer to us, the numbers indicating certain dates are still important calendar and cartographic numbers. For example, according to the Julian calendar 7000 from the creation of the world (1492) is the year of the end of the world :

This apocalyptic myth underlies the myth of the "discovery of America" ​​in the same year - 1492: the Old World "died", Columbus discovered the New World, the Lower World.

And the same myth underlies the myth of "the capture of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible" in the same year - 1492: Ivan the Terrible (Perun the Thunderer) conquered the Kazan Khanate (the kingdom of Tsar Koshchei), the Lower Kingdom.

This article is a fragment from a new monograph "Ancient geographical maps - sources of reliable history", which analyzes ancient maps and gives an interpretation of historical moments. The materials of the study allow us to conclude that the modern "official" history often replaces the church myth about a particular fictional event. And the rotation of the Earth's axis is one of such myths.

Article by Ikonnikov V.A. very big. In fact, this is a scientific study of the "Secret Doctrine" for the presence of facts about the displacement of the earth's axis. Since no more reliable sources of Truth have yet been found, this study is of interest to me.

I moved the afterword to the preface, as I believe that these reflections affect the aspect of perception of the rest of the information.

Foreword: What, then, could not be said more in The Secret Doctrine?

A careful study and comparison of the astronomical facts scattered across the pages of The Secret Doctrine revealed an amazing picture of the mechanism of displacements of the earth's axis. Common features of this mechanism are revealed. Perhaps there are some of its features. In huge cycles, there are other cycles, and in those smaller ones, and their superposition on each other can create these features. One thing can be said - this mechanism exists.

Yes, in the astronomical aspect, enough has been said in the book. What has been a mystery for many centuries is given in this book almost openly. And to say more would mean to give a ready-made answer, which would also be casually and arrogantly discarded by official science.

It is impossible to invent this intentionally, and from a set of "astronomical fables" and "absurdities" it is impossible to create even the semblance of any scheme.

In defense of this priceless book, only one thing can be said - it contains real, true knowledge of the ancient History of the Earth and Humanity

In the Conclusion to the first part of the second volume of The Secret Doctrine, H.P. Blavatsky writes:

“Do the Masters have a complete and consistent history of our Race from its very inception to our times; whether they have an uninterrupted record of man, beginning with his development into a complete physical being, whereby he became king over animals and lord on this earth, it is not for the author to say. Undoubtedly, they have them and this is our personal conviction. But if this is so, then this knowledge is reserved only for the highest Initiates, who do not confide it to their disciples. Therefore, the author can only give what he was taught and no more, and even this will seem to the uninitiated reader more like a wild and fantastic dream than a possible reality.

This is only natural, and this is how it should be, for for several years this was the impression made on the modest writer of these pages. Born and raised in European materialistic and considered civilized countries, she learned the above with great difficulty. But there is a certain kind of evidence which, in the course of time, becomes irrefutable and undeniable to every serious and unprejudiced mind. For a whole series of years such proofs have been offered to her, and now she is fully convinced that our present Planet and its human Races must have been born, grow and develop precisely in this way and no other. (Vol. 2, p.547)

120 years have passed since then, but little has changed in the human mind. Brought up in a super-materialistic world, modern readers of The Secret Doctrine also seem to be "rather a wild and fantastic dream than a possible reality." And if the author of The Secret Doctrine "assimilated" the knowledge offered to her with great difficulty, then our contemporaries, including representatives of science, do not bother to seriously study the book in which this knowledge is reflected. And this knowledge is incomprehensible. A real scientist, free from prejudice, need only take one of the statements of The Secret Doctrine as the beginning of his research, and he may have enough work for the rest of his life. Moreover, its research will certainly be successful and useful to society, because. they will rely on a true foundation. The time will surely come when the attitude to this work will be just that.

In the meantime, it is proposed to consider some of the facts presented in the book and lying, one might say, almost on the surface.

So, at the end of the 2nd volume of The Secret Doctrine, after a description of one ancient astronomical position of the luminaries, there are these words: “Let the student exercise his intuition by comparing these facts; no more can be said” (Vol. 2, p. 993).

An intriguing statement. Why not? In this famous book, not in all cases ready-made answers are given. Blavatsky noted that there are no direct answers to some questions in this book, but there are hints in the form of separate facts scattered across the pages in no apparent sequence. This was done so that science itself would go to the answers, taking into account these hints in its research. Science, meanwhile, ignores this grandiose work, preferring to stay in a sea of ​​conflicting hypotheses.

Let's try to compare the astronomical facts scattered across the pages of this book and, arguing logically, we may get some kind of picture, and, consequently, an answer, about which more could not be said.

Let's start with the following passages from The Secret Doctrine:

“In fact, science does not seem to be sure about axis shifts at all. And, being unable to explain them, it is rather ready to deny the phenomena of axis shift altogether than to admit the wise hand of the Karmic Law, which alone can rationally explain these sudden changes and their attendant results. Science has tried to explain them by various and more or less fantastic theories; one of which ... would be a sudden collision of our Earth with a Comet, a collision that would be the cause of all geological perturbations. But we prefer to stick to our Esoteric explanations, in view of the fact that Fohat is worth any Comet and in addition has the Universal Mind as its Guide. (Volume 2 p.412)

It is stated that in the history of the Earth there have been sudden displacements of the earth's axis and that the force producing such displacements is Fohat.

"Whereas the Egyptian Zodiac retains incontrovertible evidence of records spanning more than three and a half Sidereal years - or about 87,000 years -...". (Volume 2, p.415)

“Occult data show that even from the time of the correct establishment of the Zodiac calculations in Egypt, the poles were moved three times"(Volume 2, p.443)

It is claimed that there have been three pole shifts in 87,000 years.

"Since the three inversions of the Poles have undoubtedly changed the face of the Zodiac, a new one must be built each time." (Vol. 2, p.545)

It is argued that the three pole movements mentioned above are three inversions, i.e. swapping poles.

“Since Meru is the high abode of the Gods, it was said that the Gods ascended and descended periodically; astronomically, these gods meant the Gods of the Zodiac, or the transition of the original north pole of the Earth to the south pole of Heaven. (Volume 2, p.448)

It is argued that the transitions of the north pole of the Earth to the south pole of Heaven, i.e. the permutations mentioned above occurred periodically.

From these fragments, we see that in the history of the Earth there have been sudden displacements of the earth's axis and that such displacements have occurred periodically. And that over a period of about 87 thousand years there were three of them and not just displacements, but “inversions”, i.e. permutations of the poles, when the north pole of the Earth passes to the south pole of the sky.

Let's imagine a scheme of a complete permutation of the poles (Fig. 1), where α is the angle between the Earth's axis and the axis of the ecliptic (or the axis of precession, which coincide in this position).

Fig.1

Here we see that the poles are reversed. But this movement is complex and for ease of understanding it can be represented as the sum of two simple movements: the 1st is the rotation of the axis along the generatrix of the cone by half a circle and the 2nd is the rotation by 180 0 relative to the plane of the ecliptic.

We do not yet know at one time or in stages such shifts occurred, and also what period of time this process took.

Let us assume that such revolutions took place at all. Let's just try to imagine what would change in the event of such a complete upheaval.

The inclination of the planet's axis of rotation to the plane of the ecliptic will remain the same, because only the geographic poles of the Earth have changed places. The appearance of the starry sky will change, i.e. instead of the northern constellations, the southern constellations will appear before the observer of the northern latitudes. The rotation of the Earth will remain the same, but the direction of rotation, relative to the visible stellar sphere, will be reversed and, therefore, the sunrise will occur from the west. All the rising constellations and the Moon will rise from the west.

In general, west and east are relative concepts, i.e. It is believed that the east is in the direction from which the sun rises. And in this book it is written that: “Even the terms “East” and “West” are simply conditional, necessary only as an aid to our human knowledge. For although the Earth has its two fixed points at the poles of North and South, yet East and West change according to our own position on the surface of the Earth and due to its rotation from west to east. (Vol. 1, p. 756)

Therefore, it is more correct to say that the Sun will rise where it previously set.

And we find confirmation of this in the following fragments of The Secret Doctrine:

“As Mr. Gerald Massey says, “.... The priests informed the Greek explorer that they had been counting time for so long that the sun had already risen twice where it then set, and twice set where it rose. This ... can be brought about, as a fact in Nature, by means of two cycles of Precessions, or a period of 51,736 years." (In the "Secret Doctrine" the precessional cycle is taken to be 25868 years - V.I.)(Vol. 1, p.537)

"It reminds me of unscientific now…". (Vol. 2, p.671)

What else will change? The annual movement of the Sun in the zodiac constellations will remain the same, because. the direction of the earth's revolution around the sun remains the same. The view of the equatorial and zodiac constellations will become inverted with respect to the observer and the order of the zodiac constellations along the ecliptic will be reversed with respect to their current location. For example, if now in the summer we observe Scorpio in the south, and Libra to the right, then in the case of a rearrangement of the poles, we will see Scorpio also in the south, but in winter and upside down, Libra will be to his left and also upside down.

It is interesting to note that the change of seasons of the year after the reversal of the poles will go in the opposite direction. It's like the northern and southern hemispheres suddenly changed places and, where they were preparing for winter, they would have to live another summer again, and another winter in the other hemisphere.

If the change of seasons went in the opposite direction, then this is evidence of a reverse movement of the equinoxes. In this case, the movement of the “top of the top” should also change to the opposite, i.e. cone-shaped movement of the Earth's axis around the axis of precession, and, consequently, the movement of the points of the celestial poles relative to the starry sky. In other words, the celestial poles and equinox points ran over half the precessional circle. The spring equinox in this case will turn into the autumn one and go in the opposite direction, fulfilling the will of the law of conservation of momentum, i.e. with its delay, restoring the half-lap run. Thus, the sun will annually not advance its arrival at the equinox by some fraction of the time (20 m 24 s at the present time), but lag by the same amount. And the term "precession", which means anticipation, will lose its meaning, since in this case there will be a delay.

Here, at first glance, are the main visible spatial changes that should occur as a result of such a revolution.

Physical changes on the surface of the planet as a result of such a revolution should be catastrophic in the form of a global flood due to the displacement of sea and ocean water masses.

And we find confirmation of this in the pages of The Secret Doctrine:

“According to Seneca, Beroz taught to prophesy about every future event and cataclysm in the Zodiac; and the times set by him for the destruction of the World by fire - Pralaya - and for the flood, correspond to the times given in one ancient Egyptian papyrus. A similar catastrophe occurs at each resumption of the cycle of the Star Year, calculated in 25,868 years. (Vol. 1, p. 814)

It is argued that catastrophes alternate every 25,868 years.

“The student should keep in mind that there were many Floods like the one in Genesis and three more, much more significant, which will be mentioned and described in the Section of the third part…”. (Vol. 2, p.384)

It is claimed that there were many floods.

And further: “This “Sea of ​​Knowledge” or learning remained for centuries where the Shamo or Gobi Desert now stretches. It existed until the last, great, ice age, when a local cataclysm, which carried the waters to the South and to the West, thus formed the current barren desert, leaving only one definite oasis with a lake and one island in the middle, like a relic or a Ring of the Zodiac on Earth. ". (Volume 2, p.631)

It is argued that the sea, which was previously in the Gobi desert, ceased to exist as a result of a cataclysm followed by the onset of the last ice age.

Very interesting in this regard is the information that can be found in the book "The Teaching of the Temple". This book (as the annotation says) is a continuation of the work begun by H. P. Blavatsky, and is the Instructions of the Masters of Wisdom. The instructions relate mainly to issues of spiritual development, but there are also those relating to cosmic and physical phenomena. So, in Instruction 38 (from Teacher M.) it says:

“In the Temple I mentioned, on one of the engraved tablets there is a record of the last movement of the earth's axis; and if its main cause was, in fact, the unworthily low mental energy generated by the races inhabiting the Earth at that time, then the very overthrow of the forces is due to the action of the beings of the higher race inhabiting the Sun. There, as elsewhere in the Universe, there is an eternal battle between Good and Evil, and at the time in question, there was a great battle between the Devas of the right and left paths for the right to possess and use certain powers and positions, allowing a significant degree of control solar system. Thanks to the huge armies of elemental forces released as a result of the imbalance on the Sun, significant changes occurred in the outlines of its surface (comparable to those that could occur with the earth's crust if a powerful explosion happened in its depths). This sudden release of uncontrollable elemental forces, in turn, upset the balance on the Earth, deviating its axis from its original position. There is a sphere or circuit of energy that connects the Sun to all the planets in the solar system, just as sound or light waves can connect two electrical communication nodes. It is through these means of communication that the conscious elemental force can reach and influence any planet in our system. Due to the deviation of the true pole, huge masses of water overflowed their banks and flooded the continents inhabited at that time. The imbalance in such a huge area of ​​​​the Sun also affected the thermal balance, lowering the thermal vibrations of the Earth, and soon after the Great Flood, the period known to us as the Ice Age began. ("The Teaching of the Temple". ICR. Master Bank. M. 2001. Vol. 1, p. 132 - 133)

In this Manual, the causes and forces that produced the last shift in the Earth's axis are given. It talks about the Flood as a consequence of the displacement and, very importantly, it talks about the Ice Age, which began shortly after the Flood. Above, we have already considered a fragment that speaks of the Gobi desert and the sea that existed "before the last, great, ice age."

The following fragment from The Secret Doctrine is very interesting on the same subject:

“The sub-races are just as subject to similar purifying processes as are the side branches or racial families of them. Let him who is well acquainted with astronomy and mathematics look back at the twilight and shadows of the Past. Let him observe and note what he knows about the history of peoples and nations, and compare their respective rises and falls with what is known as astronomical cycles - especially with the Sidereal (Sideral) Year, equal to our 25,868 solar years. Then, if the observer is endowed with even the faintest intuition, he will see how the happiness and misfortune of the peoples are closely connected with the beginning and end of this Sidereal Cycle. It is true that the non-occultist will be at a disadvantage, for he will not have data so remote in time to base on. He knows nothing, and exact science does not tell him what happened about 10,000 years ago; but still, he can take comfort in knowing some data or - if he prefers - in conjectures about the fate of each of the modern nations known to him - about 16,000 years ago. (or rather - after the lapse, see below - V.A.). The meaning of what we say is clear. Each Sidereal Year, the tropics recede from the pole by four degrees at each revolution, starting from the equinoxes as the equator rotates through the constellations of the Zodiac. So every astronomer knows that at present the tropic lies only twenty-three degrees plus (less than half a degree) from the equator. Therefore, he must run another two and a half degrees before the end of the Sidereal Year. This gives humanity in general, and our civilized races in particular, a delay of about 16,000 years." (Volume 2, pp. 413 - 414)

Here we see the statement that global catastrophic events take place every Star Year, and that the last such event occurred about 10,000 years ago. From all this it can be assumed that this was the last shift of the axis with a permutation of the poles and that after it the last Ice Age came. The next similar shift will occur in about 16,000 years (which adds up to a Star Year). You can specify the time of the last offset: 25868-16000 = about 9868 years ago.

But the same fragment speaks of a gradual displacement of the Earth's axis at a speed of 4 degrees per Sidereal Year. Maybe this is the only way to change the poles? Then it will take 180 0: 4 0 = 45 cycles, or 25868 x 45 = 1,164,060 years. Quite a long period. One could agree with this, if not for the following fragment:

We will divide this fragment into three astronomical facts:

1) “Aldebaran was in conjunction with the Sun, as it was 40,000 years ago at a great festival in memory of this Annus Magnus about which Plutarch speaks.

2) From this Year - 40,000 years ago - the reverse movement of the equator began

3) about 31,000 years ago, Aldebaran was in combination with the vernal equinox. (Vol. 2, p.992)

Let's consider the second one first. It is said unequivocally that 40,000 years ago the reverse movement of the equator began. Taking into account the above statement about the gradual displacement of the Earth's axis at a speed of 4 degrees per sidereal year, we will come to the conclusion that the movement of the equator should be understood as a change in the angle of inclination of the equatorial plane to the ecliptic plane with such a displacement. Therefore, until 40,000 years ago, this angle increased, and then began to decrease for some reason, which is happening now.

If you try to imagine the reason, then an analogy with a top suggests itself, the axis of which, with a decrease in the speed of rotation, begins to sway more and more until it collapses on its side. But if the spinning top is added in time to the speed of rotation, it will level out, and its axis will again assume a vertical position.

We will not discuss what forces gave the planet an impulse to accelerate rotation, since this is a separate and, probably, an extensive topic, especially since there is very little information about this in this book. So on its pages it is written: “It seems to me that the Comte de Maistre was right in solving this problem, following his own theological ideas. He cuts the Gordian knot, saying: “Planets turn because they are made to turn…. and the current physical system of the universe is a physical impossibility.” Didn't Herschel say the same thing, noting that a Will is needed to communicate a circular motion and another Will to delay it.

And here: "Starting from Newton, who finds that this world is very often in need of repair, to Reynaud, everyone says the same thing," etc. (Vol. 1, p.626)

It is given to understand that there are higher forces that support the planets in their movement, i.e. it is Fohat, mentioned above, who has the Universal Mind as its Guide.

The fact that the Earth previously rotated more slowly is confirmed by the following fragment:

"A man of great erudition, French scientist Mr. De Sacy finds in the book of Enoch some very strange claims “worthy of the most serious investigation,” he says. For example:

“The author [Enoch] states 364 days in the solar year, and seems to know periods of three, five, and eight years, followed by four additional days; apparently the latter in his system refer to the equinoxes and solstices”

He further adds:

“I see only one way to explain them [these 'absurdities']; namely, to assume that the author is expounding some fantastic system that could exist until the time when the Flood changed the order of Nature”

Exactly; and the Secret Doctrine teaches that "this order of Nature" has been so changed, as well as successive terrestrial mankind." (Vol. 2, p.670)

It seems that our Earth in the remote period has gradually reduced the speed of its rotation to some critical and possibly dangerous value. But then, having received an impulse to accelerate rotation, it began to gain momentum. And 40,000 years ago, the Earth's axis moved in the opposite direction, towards approaching the axis of the ecliptic.

The question may arise, was the tilt of the axis dangerous or could the Earth gradually roll, calmly “lie on its side” and rotate, having its axis in the plane of the ecliptic?

On this account, the Secret Doctrine contains the following lines: “This confirms the occult teaching, which says that what is now the polar regions were originally the earliest cradles of the seven cradles of Humanity and the tomb of the majority of Humanity in this region during the Third Race, when the giant Continent of Lemuria began to dissect into smaller continents. According to the explanation in the Commentaries, this happened due to a decrease in the speed of the earth's rotation; ” When the Wheel rotates at normal speed, its extreme points (poles) are consistent with its middle Circle (Equator), but when it rotates more slowly and oscillates in all directions, great upheavals occur on the surface of the Earth."…" etc. (Volume 2, p.406)

It can be seen that such periods are accompanied by catastrophes and are dangerous in the life of the planet. Hence the great feast in memory of this Annus Magnus when the equator moved in the opposite direction.

This movement is called a cycle: "The returns of the great catastrophes were determined by the period Annus Magnus or a great year, a cycle consisting of the revolution of the sun, moon and planets, and ending when they all return to the same sign from which they are supposed to have come out at a very distant epoch ... ". (Vol. 2, p. 991) therefore, it is periodic and the permutations of the poles as a result of a gradual 4-degree shift of the earth's axis in the Star Year could not be carried out. In fact, this is a swing of the planet's axis from the axis of the ecliptic, or rather, from the axis of precession, within 0 0 - 30 0 - 0 0 for a full period of more than 400,000 years.

And this movement (shaking of the axis) is confirmed in the book by the following statement: “Nevertheless, 70,000 years have passed since the Pole of the Earth began to point to the far end of the tail of Ursa Minor;... "(Volume 2, p. 970).

That is, it is argued that 70,000 years ago, the end of the earth's axis pointed to the alpha of Ursa Minor. But if we start counting back this period in the generally accepted way, making the construction of the pole on the star map (taking into account the 4-degree axis shift), then such a statement will look like astronomical absurdity, because. we won't find it anywhere near. But if we take into account the reverse movement of the equator mentioned above, then we can make sure that the trajectory of the pole point 70,000 years ago could well pass near the alpha of Ursa Minor. This is an important confirmation of the reverse movement of the equator.

Thus, the spiral described by the pole point in the starry sky, which had previously been expanding, having reached its maximum position 40,000 years ago, began to narrow, and this narrowing continues in our time.

All this suggests that there may be another mechanism for the reversal of the poles. After all, there were rearrangements, and this is said on the pages of The Secret Doctrine.

Let's go back to an event that took place about 10,000 years ago and determine in which zodiac constellation the precessional point of the vernal equinox was at that moment. This is easy to determine, starting from the first degree of Aquarius, where she is now and given that she passes each sign of the Zodiac in 2155.6 years. Simple arithmetic calculations give us the middle of Cancer. This means that on the diameter of Cancer - Capricorn, at the opposite ends of which the spring and autumn equinoxes are located, periodically, every 25,868 years, the earth's axis should shift with a rearrangement of the poles. We have already noted above that in the event of such a reversal, the equinox point will go in the opposite direction. Is it so?

Let us fully consider the fragment, divided by us into three astronomical facts, i.e. Let's look at the other two. They state that - 1) "Aldebaran was in combination with the Sun, as it was 40,000 years ago ....", i.e. was at the equinox or at the solstice.

And after 9000 years, he - 3) "... about 31,000 years ago, Aldebaran was in combination with the vernal equinox." How can it be? For the vernal equinox point, the period of 9000 years to return to the previous position is clearly small (a full circle of 25868 years is needed). For the solstice point, it is clearly large (a quarter of a circle is needed in 6467 years). For the opposite point of the autumn equinox, this period will be half a circle of 12,934 years. All these terms are given without taking into account the axis shift.

Let's take into account the revolution of the planet. Having made simple calculations, we will find that it was the autumn equinox that went from Aldebaran (Taurus) to the middle of Cancer and spent about 4500 years on it. Then, after the coup about 35,736 (9868+25868=35736) years ago, becoming a spring point, it moved in the opposite direction and was on its way to Aldebaran for the same amount of time. In total, 9000 years were spent on the whole journey. This is the only way to explain these 9000 years. This is an important argument in confirming the reversal of the poles and the fact that in this case the equinox will go in the opposite direction.

Thus, the equinox did not cross Cancer, but, having reached approximately the middle, after the axis shift, it went in the opposite direction again to Gemini and from that moment became precessional, i.e. the preceding, and not the lagging point of the equinox, as it was before. It turns out that Cancer never crosses this point, because. the inversion occurs every Sidereal Year and therefore the beginning and end of this cycle lies in the middle of Cancer. And then the hidden meaning (in the astronomical aspect) of the astrological symbol of Cancer becomes clear (Fig. 2). It can be called a sign in which a permutation of the poles occurs and in which a reverse occurs, i.e. backward movement of the equinox point in the Zodiac Circle.

Rice. 2 Astrological symbol of Cancer

The very symbol of the zodiac animal Cancer also speaks eloquently for itself - "cancer moves back." The Egyptian analogue of Cancer - the Scarab - emphasizes this feature even more clearly - it, moving backwards, rolls a ball of dung. An amazingly accurate symbol in an astronomical aspect, you can’t think of more precisely!

“When was it? History does not answer this question. Fortunately, we have the Dendera Zodiac, a planisphere on the ceiling of one of the oldest Egyptian temples, which depicts this fact. This Zodiac, with its mysterious three Virgos between the constellations Leo and Libra, found its Oedipus in order to decipher its signs and justify the veracity of those priests who conveyed to Herodotus what the Initiates taught, (a) that the poles of the Earth and the Ecliptic previously coincided and (b) that, even since the beginning of their first records of the Zodiac, the poles have already been three times in the plane of the ecliptic. (Volume 2, p.462)

Item (a) it is clear that this was once the case (the axis of the ecliptic and the axis of the Earth were parallel) and will be again in the distant future when the middle of the cycle is reached Annus Magnus. And here is the point (b) arouses some interest. It says that the axis of the Earth was three times in the plane of the ecliptic during the period of the existence of the Egyptian Zodiac (about 87,000 last years). It did not pass through the plane of the ecliptic during the displacements, but was located in it.

It is also said in another place that: “This reminds unscientific the statement made by the Egyptian priests to Herodotus, namely, that the Sun did not always rise where it rises now and that in former ages the ecliptic crossed the equator at right angles. (Vol. 2, p. 671) where the expression "... the ecliptic crossed the equator at right angles" means the same, i.e. the axis of the Earth was in the plane of the ecliptic i.e. silt on this ka equinox and in the way of the period of power.

This position of the earth's axis is described in the following fragments of The Secret Doctrine:

“For in that age when the Gods left the Earth and, as it is said, ascended into Heaven, the ecliptic became parallel with the meridian, and part of the Zodiac, as it were, descended from the North Pole to the northern horizon.”

And further: “Now when Leo is in the “Abyss” or under the South Pole, then Virgo, as the next constellation, follows him and when her head, to the very waist, is under the Southern horizon, she is overturned. On the other hand, Hyades is the constellation of rain or the Flood; and Aldebaran is one who follows or inherits daughters of Atlas or Pleiades, looks down from the eye of Taurus. It was from this point of the Ecliptic that the calculations of the new cycle began. The student must remember that when Ganymede-Aquarius is raised to Heaven-or above the horizon of the North Pole, Virgo or Astrea, which is Venus-Lucifer, descends head down below the horizon of the South Pole or Abyss. This abyss or Pole also depicts the Great Dragon or the Flood. Let the student exercise his intuition by putting these facts together; can't say more ( I emphasized - V.I. These words are taken from the beginning of the article.)". (Vol. 2, pp. 992-993)

This position is possible on the day of the equinox, when the Earth's axis is located in the plane of the ecliptic. With this arrangement of the axis, the entire belt of the Zodiac should run from north to south. And if the precession point of the equinox is in combination with Aldebaran, then indeed the point of the north pole will be in Aquarius, and the south - in Leo. The constellation Virgo (head down) will be half hidden behind the southern horizon for an observer of the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere (about 30 0 N).

These statements suggest that the displacement of the axis with the rearrangement of the poles did not occur at one time, but in stages. Let us follow this step-by-step shift with the help of constructions. So, we see the position before the displacement in the figure (Fig. 3).

Rice. 3

Here α is the angle between the Earth's axis and the axis of the ecliptic (or the axis of the precessional cone, which is the same, since they coincide in this position) before the displacement.

Since the precession cone must be preserved for any displacement, it is easier for us to imagine the displacement of the axis of this cone, or, in other words, the axis of precession. Then the first stage of the shift can be represented as a shift of the precession axis to its position in the ecliptic plane, i.e. rotate it 90 0 . (Fig. 4).

Rice. 4

Why exactly at 90 0? We now know that the reversal of the poles occurs when the vernal equinox reaches the middle of Cancer. And from the middle of Cancer to Aldebaran, as we have already calculated, it takes about 4500 years. Consequently, only after this time the earth's axis will be located in the plane of the ecliptic. Here we see that the earth's axis has yet to undergo a precession shift to the plane of the ecliptic, and the celestial pole point must move from point "a" to point "b". So it turns out that the precession axis should be approximately in the plane of the ecliptic, and this is 90 0 .

The amazing position of the Earth, when the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic was about 25 0 (instead of today's 63.5 0), and it constantly decreased over 4500 years to 0 0 . This situation was supposed to lead to cardinal climate change. There is an excerpt in this book:

“Cosmically and astronomically, this Hyperborean God is the personified Sun, which, during the sidereal Year of 25868 years, changes the climates on the earth's surface, turning the freezing regions into tropical and back". (Vol. 2, p. 972)

Rice. 5

And now the Earth's axis is in the plane of the ecliptic (Fig. 5). This means that there were periods in these displacement processes when the Earth really “lay on its side”. The scheme of this position refers to the above fragment, which says: “... and Aldebaran is the one who follows or inherits daughters of Atlas or Pleiades, looks down from the eye of Taurus. In other words, the vernal equinox came in conjunction with Aldebaran Taurus. And in time, this position refers to the period after the next shift of the axis with a rearrangement of the poles, which occurred about 35,736 years ago (i.e., 9868 years ago, as we specified, the last shift of the axis occurred, plus one more Star Year, which gives date of previous offset). To find out when the Earth's axis reached a position in the ecliptic plane, we subtract 4500 years from 35,736 years ago and get this date, i.e. about 31,236 years ago. But here in one fragment from the first volume of the book it says:

“So we are told that the majestic Pyramids were built under their direct supervision, “when Dhruva (then the pole star) was at its lowest climax, Krittika (Pleiades) looked over her head (were on the same meridian, only above) and observed behind the work of the Giants. Thus, if the first pyramids were erected at the beginning of the Star Year under Dhruva (Alpha Polaris), then, therefore, it must have been more than 31,000 (31,105) ago” (Vol. 1, p. 537).

We will not find out when the first pyramids of Egypt were built, but the meaning of this statement is that they were erected earlier by a whole sidereal year or more.

For our research, it is important to indicate the exact date of the beginning of the Star Year - this is 31105 years ago from the year the book was written (1888). “It was from this point on the Ecliptic that the calculations of the new cycle began” was said in the earlier fragment describing the position when the Earth's axis was still in the plane of the ecliptic. This is close to the date we obtained for the location of the Earth's axis in the plane of the ecliptic - about 31,236 years ago. But here we are already talking about the polar star Dhruva. Dhruva is the alpha of Ursa Minor and a reference to this can be found in the book:

“... The fact is that the rays of the four stars “in the circle of constant appearance” - Agni, Mahendra, Kasheyapa and Dhruva, placed in the tail of Ursa Minor (Shisumara) ... "etc. (Volume 2, p.770.

Then the date 31,105 ago can be taken as the year the Earth's axis left the plane of the ecliptic. So, the second stage of the displacement ended with another rotation of the precession axis again by 90 0, as a result of which the south pole point from the middle of Leo (the north pole point was in Aquarius) traveled to the alpha of Ursa Minor and this ended the permutation of the poles (Fig. 6). The whole rearrangement process took approximately: 35736 - 31105 = 4631 years.

Rice. 6

That Alpha Ursa Minor became at this time the polar star of the south pole should be clear from the order of permutations of the poles described above. That is, in the period from 9868 years ago to 35,736 years ago, Alpha Ursa Minor was the star of the southern sky, and from 35,736 years ago to 61,736 years ago, it was the star of the northern sky, etc. every stellar year. The concepts of the southern and northern sky are relative here and become so depending on which Pole of the Earth faces this sky.

It is possible that this process ended again with the flood, because it is said: "... On the other hand, the Hyades are the constellation of rain or the Flood." The Hyades is the central group of stars in the constellation Taurus.

But if the first catastrophic stage of the displacement occurred in Cancer, why is the beginning of the cycle of the Star Year taken from Taurus? There are words on this subject in the book about putting the house in order:

"Such selection and displacement does not occur between sunrise and sunset, as one might think, but it takes several millennia until the new house is put in order." (Vol. 2, p. 413) And this “putting the house in order” continued from the first stage of the displacement until its end, i.e. around 4631.

So, the beginning of a new cycle is taken as the position that ends the permutation of the poles. This is what the era of Taurus is marked in the traditions of many peoples!

"The role ascribed to the constellation Taurus is too well known even in Christian mysticism to need repetition" (Vol. 2, p. 992) - a remark is made in the book.

During this time (about 4631 years), " while the new house is being put in order”, many changes were to take place on the surface of the planet and with the humanity inhabiting this planet.

The Secret Doctrine says: "Sub-races are just as subject to similar purifying processes, as are side branches or racial families of them." (Volume 2, p.413)

And further: “... each kindred race has an average existence of about 30,000 years and, thus, the European “kindred race” has enough millennia ahead, although peoples or countless needles on it (in the diagram in the form of a cactus tree - V.I.) change with each successive "season" of three or four thousand years. It is very curious to note the comparative approximation in duration between the lives of the 'racial family' and the Star Year. (Vol. 2, p. 544)

As we can see, the European “kindred race”, i.e. our white race has enough millennia ahead, i.e. about 16,000 years before the next catastrophe associated with a shift in the axis with a rearrangement of the poles. Consequently, it originated about 10,000 (9868) years ago after the first stage of the earth's axis displacement during the Ice Age.

The Ice Age and the simultaneous position of the Earth, when its axis was close to the plane of the ecliptic, look somehow unexpected. But it turns out that this is exactly what happened during the last displacement of the earth's axis. Whether there were such cold snaps during previous pole shifts is unknown and nothing is said about this in the book. But the last Great Ice Age is mentioned in The Secret Doctrine as an event about 10,000 years ago. The above-mentioned Instruction from the Teachings of the Temple also says: “... The imbalance in such a huge area of ​​​​the Sun also affected the thermal balance, lowering the thermal vibrations of the Earth, and soon after the Great Flood, the period known to us as the Ice Age began.” It is impossible to fully imagine what happened on the Sun. One can only assume that his disk was almost completely covered with spots. And the legends of some peoples about the Flood become clear when they say that "the sky changed and the sun darkened." The fact that the sky had changed could be understood, because. completely unfamiliar constellations appeared before the eyes of people. Now it becomes clear that the sun has darkened. It darkened in the truest sense of the word, and not from the ashes of volcanoes and the smoke of fires, as some hypotheses seem to suggest. Obviously, the conditions of glaciation in this case differ sharply from the conditions if glaciation occurred in the current position of the earth's axis or close to it. This, of course, is interesting, but a separate topic for specialists in this field.

How long the Ice Age lasted and when it ended is not stated in the book. It is possible that the ice melted even before the position of the axis in the plane of the ecliptic. One thing is clear that the climate on Earth during this time has been transformed in the most fundamental way.

The following question arises, in what direction immediately after the end of the last revolution (which began about 9868 years ago) did the northern end of the earth's axis begin to point? Now this can be determined with certainty. We already know that the process of reversing the poles takes about 4631 years. So, it ended 9868 - 4631=5237 years ago. Counting back from the alpha of Ursa Minor, where the point of the northern celestial pole is now located, the distance corresponding to this date, we will find that the northern end of the earth's axis immediately after leaving the plane of the ecliptic began to point towards the alpha of the Dragon.

That's when the Egyptian priests were able to mark the position of the North Pole in Draconis alpha! And, of course, it was the age of Taurus.

So, the mechanism of displacements of the earth's axis with permutations of the poles is quite clearly revealed. But there remains some discrepancy with the movement of the precessional equinox point. What is it expressed in?

The fact is that after the rearrangement of the poles, the equinox point must go in the opposite direction. We have established that about 10,000 (9868) years ago there was a last reversal in the middle of Cancer, and the equinox is currently in the first degrees of Aquarius, therefore, after the reversal, it went towards Gemini, Taurus, etc. (on the eve of the coup, she walked from Gemini towards Cancer). But above we analyzed the fragment, when 40,000 years ago the point was in Aldebaran and after 9000 years it was again in Aldebaran, therefore, it also went from Cancer towards Taurus. But this was a previous coup, when, following the logic, the point in Cancer before the coup should have come from the side of Leo, and not from Aldebaran, i.e. Taurus?! And on the way back, she should have gone towards Leo, so that after 25,868 years she would enter Cancer from the side of Gemini. But it wasn't. 31105 years ago she was in Taurus. Does it go in the same direction every 25868 years after the next revolution - towards Taurus!? Unclear. It seems that some link is missing in this mechanism.

But in the book, a seemingly unremarkable (in the sense of “astronomical absurdity” or strangeness) fragment is found, where the coordinates of the last dead island of Atlantis are discussed and that the ancient Indians knew this island even before its death. The given astronomical fragment was given to help determine the coordinates. On a superficial reading, the reader, carried away by the proposed task, quite easily determines that this is the area of ​​\u200b\u200btoday's Canary Islands and, satisfied, moves on further through the pages of the book. But the main meaning of this fragment remains hidden and not understood.

Here is the snippet:

“So, we will consider the latitude and longitude of the lost island and the remaining Mount Asburj. It was in the seventh degree of the world, that is, in the seventh climate [which is between 24 0 and 28 0 N]….. This island, the daughter of the ocean, is often described as lying in the West; and the Sun is depicted as setting at the foot of his mountain [Asbourg, Atlas, Tenerife or Nile, the name does not matter] and fighting the White Devil from the "White Isle"...... Let us return again to the astronomical evidence, which fully explains this issue, if we agree with the mentioned Adept that:

"In an epoch when the summer 'colourium' of the tropics passed through the Pleiades, when the Heart of the Lion was at the equator, and when the Leo was at sunset in a vertical position with respect to Ceylon, then Taurus at noon stood vertically over the island of Atlantis."….. But, as proven in McKay's Sphinxiad, astronomically this must have happened about 23,000 years ago; in an era when the slope of the ecliptic should have been over 27 0 and, therefore, the constellation Taurus should have passed over Atlantis or Shankha-Dvipa. (Vol. 2, pp. 510-511)

Here the latitude of the location of the lost island of Atlantis is clearly indicated ( between 24 0 and 28 0 north latitude) and Mount Tenerife (an extinct volcano on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands) is mentioned. It remains to find out the longitude, which can be determined, knowing that the angle between Leo and Taurus is 90 0. Therefore, counting 90 degrees west of Ceylon, we determine this longitude, which is the longitude of the Canary Islands.

But if you make the construction of the indicated constellations (on the indicated date 23,000 years ago, when the vernal equinox was in Capricorn) so that the gamma of Leo is on the equator, then, to put it mildly, this will not correspond to the above statements. (Fig.7)

The fact is that the island of Ceylon lies entirely in the northern hemisphere (middle and his company is 7 0 s.sh.) and Leo cannot be upright in relation to Ceylon, because it is all located south of the celestial equator, and only its head will be north. It can also be seen that Taurus (Aldebaran with the Hyades) is also located much further south than required in this fragment. This suggests that the constellations were inverted at that time, i.e. the poles were reversed from today's position. We have already established above that in the period from 35,736 years ago to about 10,000 (9868) years ago, the poles were in the opposite position, and it is this fragment that confirms this position of the earth's axis, and affirms it in a purely astronomical way. Let's bring the diagram in line with the position of the earth's axis at that time. It will look like this: (Fig.8)

Yes, now Leo can be at its zenith over Ceylon! But Taurus ended up on the other side of the celestial equator next to the winter tropic, and not the summer tropic, as the fragment suggests.

And here it is necessary to pay attention to the words that " astronomically it must have happened about 23,000 years ago.” And what should have happened when it was about the coordinates of the island and nothing more? So something happened and astronomically. Note also that Leo "at sunset" was in a vertical position in relation to Ceylon, and Taurus "at noon" stood vertically above the island of Atlantis. This is nothing but two positions of the luminaries, separated by some event. This event happened about 23,000 years ago. Whether to read literally "at sunset" and "at noon" or to assume a longer period between them - in principle, does not change the matter. In these four lines of the "mentioned Adept" an event of a planetary scale is hidden, namely: another displacement of the earth's axis, but without rearranging the poles and maintaining the same angle of inclination of the axis. This is a circular displacement of the end of the earth's axis along the generatrix of the precessional cone by 180 0 . In this case, the celestial plus point will move from position “1” to position “2” (Fig. 9).

Why exactly at 180 0 ? Because in this case, spring will definitely change into autumn. Consequently, the spring equinox will turn into autumn and go in the opposite direction, fulfilling the will of the law on the conservation of momentum, i.e. with its delay, restoring the half-lap run. And now it will not precede the moment of the spring equinox, but annually delay the moment of the autumn equinox for some fraction of the time. As you can see, the same thing happens in the displacement of the axis with the permutation of the poles. But there it is part of the displacement process - here it is limited to this.

Instead of an afterword.

This study was carried out after another study on the ancient Zodiac of Ak-Baur / *, and then on the Zodiac in Roerich's painting, unanswered questions arose without involving the hypothesis of the displacement of the earth's axis.

For the time being, I address this article simply to my like-minded people and friends who study the "Secret Doctrine" of H. P. Blavatsky.

From the book of Simonov V.A. "The Prophecies of the Book of the Sibyls". From "Ves", 2012

According to the predictions of Nostradamus, the shift of the Earth's axis of rotation should be expected in the month of October: “Before this, there will be a solar eclipse, the darkest and gloomiest from the creation of the world to the death and passion of Jesus Christ and from that moment to the present. And in the month of October, it will happen that some great movement will happen - such that they will think that the colossus of the Earth has lost its natural direction and plunged into eternal darkness ”(“ Message to Henry II »).

Prophecy Sibyl of Eritrea about the displacement of the Earth's axis of rotation relative to the plane of the ecliptic:

Do not be arrogant, Indians and the brave people of the Ethiopians!

For when the wheel of the celestial axis, Capricorn

The stars, Taurus, will run around the center in the constellation of Brothers -

Virgo, ascending into the sky, and the Sun, spinning continuously,

Their round dance will be led throughout the firmament of heaven -

There will be a terrible fire that will cover the whole earth,

In the battle of the heavenly bodies, nature will be renewed, perish,

We cry the world announcing, the country of Ethiopians is on fire!

Canto 5, 206-213.

Celestial Axis Wheel - the ancient Greeks had the concept of the existence of an invisible axis that permeates our planet like the axis of a wheel. On the rim of this wheel are 12 zodiac constellations.

Constellation Brothers - the constellation Gemini. The current geographic north pole ( wheel axle) is directed to the North Star, which is located in the constellation Ursa Minor. The Sibyl predicts that as a result of a terrible cataclysm, the earth's axis will shift into the constellation Gemini, that is, approximately 60 degrees from its current position. The consequences of such a displacement, if it happens quickly enough, will be the most catastrophic.

Leonardo da Vinci warned of a shift in the axis of rotation of the Earth, which will occur in the future:
866. It will be seen how they turn the earth upside down and look at the opposite hemispheres and open the holes of the most ferocious animals (displacement of the Earth's axis of rotation andactivation of volcanoes).

1004. At each point on the earth it is possible to draw the boundary of two hemispheres. All people will immediately exchange hemispheres ( planetary pole shift 180 degrees?).

Edgar Cayce(1877 - 1945) - famous American clairvoyant and healer about the displacement of the Earth's axis of rotation:“The following changes in the physical appearance of the planet will take place: the territory of the western part of America will be split; most of Japan will go under water; in the twinkling of an eye the northern part of Europe will change; land will appear off the east coast of America.

In the Arctic and Antarctic there will be shifts in the earth's crust, which will lead to volcanic eruptions in the tropical zone. Then the shift [position] of the poles will follow, and as a result, the polar or subtropical zones can become tropics ... ".

Ruth Montgomery- former journalist, nowa spiritualist who predicts the future with the help of "spiritual guides" writes about the upcoming shift of the planet's poles:“At the beginning of the next century, the poles of the Earth will change their position. Furious and incredible in strength, hurricanes will sweep away everything in their path. New York will disappear. Florida will hardly survive. The southern states overlooking the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, including Texas, will change beyond recognition. To the west, the remnants of California will disappear into the boiling sea."
“Because of the tidal waves caused by the displacement of the earth's axis, almost no part of the sea coasts can be considered safe; the low-lying regions of Europe are at risk, but the larger inland land masses such as Canada, Russia, Africa and China will be comparatively safe.”

“It is, of course, impossible to accurately determine the angle of displacement, but, as we have already stated, one pole will be in the Pacific Ocean, and the other somewhere in the southern part of South America .... Many people will not survive this displacement, although there will be enough of those who survive. This will happen for the reason that after a period of churning seas and terrifying hurricane winds, the disorderly rampage will cease. Those who used to live in the tropics will find themselves in the north, and vice versa - the inhabitants of cold countries will find themselves in the south.

Shortly before the actual movement of the poles, two special events will occur. Ancient volcanic eruptions in the Mediterranean islands, South America, and California will cause epidemics, and shortly thereafter, massive tsunamis of hitherto unknown magnitude will form as a result of powerful aftershocks affecting northern Europe, Asia, and South America.
