126. Civilization is Insanely Old – Mario Buildreps
For general info about Mario and his work, check out the first episode with him, including show notes: In this second episode we touch on a few novel issues: ✔ Mario and his associates have now found evidence of up to twelve ancient positions of the north pole, including the present one (every shift from one position to the next is associated with an expansion phase, which entails cataclysmic events). ✔ The so-called great unconformity in geology is something geologists are reluctant to discuss. It refers to a huge “missing link” in the earth’s layers (rather a massive void): anywhere from several hundred million years up to one and a half billion years of geological history is missing. Periodic expansion could explain this, says Mario. ✔ Ice ages are not what we have been taught, a recurring enlargement of the ice sheets around the poles due to colder climate. No, it is basically the same “ice age”, forced to shift position every time the earth is in an expansion phase. Only when the north pole is positioned on land will glaciers build up and eventually form an ice sheet. The last position before this one was on Greenland. Hence the lingering ice sheet there. ✔ The earth expands due to two forces that have the same source: • Flares from solar storms add to the planet’s mass in the form of subatomic particles that easily penetrate the crust. • The same solar storms also blast away the earth’s atmosphere, little by little, which causes decompression. ✔ The giant floods described in myths and legends may not have been the result of rapidly melting ice caps. The water masses may have erupted from inside the earth. The equivalent of ten oceans of water is trapped in a mineral called ringwoodite in the planet’s mantle. ✔ Many independent archaeology and anthropology history researchers over interpret the significance of the Younger Dryas period. While dramatic, it is not even the most dramatic climate event during the latest ice age (latter part of Pleistocene), says Mario. ✔ Mario is still working on his magnum opus, the book about his theory on an expanding earth and its surprising connection to evidence for extremely ancient civilizations.
