Re: Planet X: MAY Coordinates


I’ve located a second source regarding sea level’s having dropped apx
3,600 years ago.  This is other than the data quoted by Velikovsky in
his book Earth in Upheaval, as somehow science data is discarded when
presented by him.

  Scientists Challenge Conventional Sea Level Theory
  ABC News, December 3, 1999

    Australian scientists say they have discovered evidence of
    rapid change in world sea levels and of a dramatic fall in
    geologically recent times - directly challenging current
    conventional wisdom. Dr Robert Baker of the University
    of New England, in the New South Wales country town of
    Armidale, has tapped the secrets of worm coatings on
    once-submerged rocks to shake established theory that sea
    levels are presently as high as they have ever been. Based
    on height measurements of worm coatings on rocks now
    well above sea level, and carbon dating tests which show
    them to be as recent as 3,500 years old, Baker argues that
    sea levels have not been steady since the last ice age, as is
    commonly believed.

    Instead, he told Australia's ABC television, it changed
    rapidly 3,000-5,000 years ago. "It means that the whole
    natural system is unstable, it's been unstable for 130,000
    years." Baker and his colleagues at New England University
    say the sea level may have fallen quickly 3,500 years ago,
    by as much as a meter in just 10-50 years. This means that
    the current rise in the sea level - normally associated with
    environmental warming caused by the so-called greenhouse
    effect - might not be that unusual, Baker said.

    He also said that his evidence pointed to the controversial
    conclusion that sea levels had once been higher than they
    are now. "The conventional wisdom has been that sea levels
    haven't been higher. (Contrary) evidence was something that
    they weren't prepared to accept," he said. Baker's theories,
    which he first aired 20 years ago, were initially rejected, but
    are now about to receive a wider audience with their
    publication in the respected journal Marine Biology. The
    implications go further than greenhouse and global warming.
    Baker said big movements in sea levels could explain the
    migration of Australian Aboriginies and give clues about the
    fate of ancient civilizations such as in Egypt.
