Food for thought: I assume over the past 100y measurements got very precise hence the accurate dotted line downwards. Now what if the field gets more intense again over the next 100y. Now let’s sa...

They derive the old data points in a number of ways. Ancient pottery contains magnetic particles that realign with earth's magnetic field after kilning for example.

Ancient tree rings do a similar thing with minerals they accumulate and deposit.

Ash from forest fires and volcanism lay down soil layers do a similar thing as they cool.

This is a chart of Earth's magnetic field strength over the last 18,000 years.
I assume folks here know how to read a chart...


Earth's magnetic field strength may not be as weak as it was during the Younger Dryas catastrophe, but the rate of collapse is greater.

This tells us 2 things. The first being that Graham Hancock is full of shit. The root cause of the Younger Dryas event was no extraterrestrial impact, although it may very well have a role to play.

Something much bigger is at play.

Food for thought: I assume over the past 100y measurements got very precise hence the accurate dotted line downwards. Now what if the field gets more intense again over the next 100y. Now let’s say this had happened ever since but just our ability to looking back just gets the average in the mid...

when the earths magnetic field is low enough you can use wireless electronic devices without batteries. ever see tesla light up a light bulb with no wires? its just like that. granite is a fine conductor, as are many other kinds of rock. the electromagnetic behavior of material is defined by its...

Good point. But if I wanted a motorcycle, I’d still get the motorcycle.
