The book proposes that Earth experiences periodic, catastrophic "resets" approximately every 7,000 to 11,500 years.
: During a shift, the crust moves rapidly (up to 90 degrees in less than a day). While the crust moves, the atmosphere and oceans retain their momentum, resulting in 1,000 mph supersonic winds and two-mile-high tidal waves that scour the continents. Reinterpreting History and Myth
