KSC Professor’s Theory in Movie 2012

Bob Madden, faculty emeriti, recently saw the movie 2012 and notes that a character broadcasting from Yellowstone National Park (played by Woody Harrelson) not only says the Mayans knew the world would end in December, 2012, but that Charles Hapgood warned us in 1958.

Charles Hapgood was professor of the history of science at Keene Teachers College when he wrote The Earth’s Shifting Crust. This and two other books, Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings and The Path of the Pole, proposed the radical theory that the earth’s axis has shifted numerous times during geological history.
