Appendix 8

Pre-13kYA Latitudes

While working on this story, the author had to make sense of the orientation of the land masses of the Earth, prior to the encounter of the Venus Comet with our planet about 13,000 years ago. With the old North Pole located at 650° 30' North, 510 West by today's standard depiction of latitude and longitude(1), where did the old Equator and other latitudes of that earlier time fall?

He understood that in that "encounter", the spinning of the Earth on its polar axis did not lose energy and get slowed. The "day", the time to make one complete revolution of our planet on its polar axis, remained constant. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun did lose some energy and became enlarged. Traveling a greater distance around the Sun required more days in the year. The Gate of the Sun monument at Tiahuanaco, Bolivia(2) indicates a calendar with a 290 day year with 10 months of 24 days each, plus 2 months of 25 days each. The Gate is believed to have been created prior to 13kYA (thousand Years Ago). The author's assessment of its timing is provided in Appendix 4 - Reading the Ice. It confirms that astronomy and the mathematics that go with it, were known at that time.

Such knowledge would go hand-in-hand with the spherical mensuration required to map the Earth correctly and to build accordingly. This is a skill found today in higher mathematics from universities and to a lesser degree with some top-notch surveyors. My work on determining latitudes in the Pre-13kYA period was based on the co-ordinates of the "old" North Pole. I also recognised that the distance between either pole and the Equator has been defined as 10,000 km (kilometres). The enclosed arc of 900 therefore had 111.111+ km per degree. These calculations applied north and south of the Equator.

Locating Old Latitudes

In the entries that follow, the author provides details that allow the reader to identify where the stated latitude around the Pre-13kYA North Pole, existed on today's maps. Today's coordinates are given for crossing coast lines and at selected sites across various countries. They are to allow the reader to locate those sites on maps of today. A few of those sites are already known as "places of interest". Mention of a location does not mean that the author knows of a specific point of interest related to that place. He will, however, not be at all surprised if others have an interest in some sites and ask about other sites not listed. These latitude details, based on that older North Pole, may be useful in visualising the world at that early time.

The data at each latitude is displayed as ranging from the mid-Atlantic eastward to encircle the globe. The author derived this data by using Google Earth to draw circles of the indicated length (radii) around the "Old North Pole" defined above. Areas covered in today's jungle or desert or icy cold barrens have very limited information available to us, as conditions make research difficult. Researchers of those areas, however, should not dismiss the possibility that an ancient location was there. That a specific old latitude, say 300 North, goes through a somewhat interesting location, may prompt a new look at details of that site. Additionally he recognised that today's sea level is about 125 m above its minimum at the 24,098 YA LGM(3). Shallow areas of the continental shelf at specific latitudes were of interest to him.

Measurement Methodology

In trying to understand what system of measurement was used by the ancients, the author came to the conclusion that it was not likely our current system of "degrees" with 90 degrees between pole and equator. Instead of a "base 10" system, he has considered a less artificial one based on the old idea of "portions of the whole". Along with this idea, he was aware that the number "12" was favoured by the ancient mathematicians of Sumer, Assyria and Babylon for its ease of use. When it came into use is not known. Additionally, naming and using something that did not exist, ie. "zero", was deemed illogical prior to about 800 - 900 CE, and not a part of those cultures' number system.

Putting these three concepts together, he assessed this data using the distance from the old Poles to the old Equator both in degrees, and as being divided into 12 equal portions. In the latter case, the portion and the latitude closest to the Equator, he labelled "1" and the one against the Pole was portion "12". In present terms, these lines of latitude were an angle of 70 30' apart with the Equator unnumbered. He expects that the reader, being accustomed to the "base 10" system, may find thinking in terms of "portions of the whole", difficult to grasp quickly.

Lat. 1 of 12 at 70° 30' N Lat. 2 of 12 at 150° 00' N Lat. 3 of 12 at 220° 30' N

Lat. 4 of 12 at 300° 00' N Lat. 5 of 12 at 370° 30' N Lat. 6 of 12 at 450° 00' N

Lat. 7 of 12 at 520° 30' N Lat. 8 of 12 at 600° 00' N Lat. 9 of 12 at 670° 30' N

Lat. 10 of 12 at 750° 00' N Lat. 11 of 12 at 820° 30' N Lat. 12 of 12 at 900° 00' N

Dividing each of these "portions" into 12 "parts", makes 144 "parts" with an angle equivalent to 371/2 minutes of a degree. This might be adequate for navigating ships and positioning buildings. Whether the old users would further subdivide a single "part" again into 12 angular "units" of 31/8 minutes each, is unknown.

Tabulating Old Latitude Locations

In order to assist the reader's understanding of the results of the 13kYA pole shift, the author is sharing his notes on the locations of the old latitudes. It has been his observation that several of those latitudes pass through locations with old, important structures sited there. In some cases there is evidence of construction oriented on the old North Pole, implying a link to before 13kYA.

On the pages that follow, separate tables have been created for the old Equator and 8 of the 12 old latitudes previously described, both above and below that Equator. In addition, data is provided for each of the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The author did not detail latitudes closer to the pole than 60 degrees (the 8/12th portion) assuming that the polar ice caps had not melted much further pole-ward from the LGM than that. He does show details for the Arctic and Antarctic Circles (portion 8/12 + part 5/144) north and south.

Stonehenge, currently positioned at N 510° 11', W 10° 50', does not appear in these tables. It is thought to have been created long after the ice age and the catastrophe of 13k YA that moved the North Pole. Its purpose was to help predict the repeating appearances of what I call the Venus Comet.
