And then I thought of the Mayan calendar. The Mayans were extremely accurate at predicting celestial events on a very, very large scale. In 380,000 years, their calendar will need to be adjusted by just one second. They also predicted events on earth, based on this calendar.
the Mayas only knew of stars visible to the naked eye. They didnt know of other galaxies, nor of the structure of our own galaxy.

I was thinking that maybe the earth expanded in "fits and starts" in relation to the earth's planetary alignments. Why? Well, if you think of the evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, he won a nobel prize because he showed that evolution happens in "fits and starts" or "leaps and bounds" as opposed to a slow constant rate over millions of years.
It's fairly obvious the Maya were measuring the precession cycle, there's significant evidence to suggest that catastrophic events occurred around 13 thousand years ago, half of the cycle.
Go ahead and keep your mind in its little box. It's a theory. It used to be fact that the world was flat. You don't catch anyone saying that anymore. Without those who know how to see what others do not we would still be on that flat earth.
I also found DreamDeceiver comments on paleomagnetic data to be a good counter to the theory, but that doesn’t mean that those facts are set in stone. We are constantly changing what we know to be fact as we learn more about the world we live in.
I wonder how the "Growing Earth"-Hypothesis fits with the idea of the "Hollow Earth. Any suggestions anyone?
Well, a few people survived the last event 13000 years ago and a few people survived the one 26000 years ago.
I think the flood was actually about 13000 years ago.
There is a chance that during solstice or planetary alignments that things could get worse.

Those mid plate quakes are certainly interesting.
You must be on the edge of the Canadian shield?
A few could be a half million humans, and the event doesn't appear to be global, just near low lying areas all around the planet.
Not many people challenge the writings of a big flood, it is found in many ancient texts around the world. Why would someone discount this evidence? Now why would a sane individual say these were wrong without having evidence that positively showed that something multiple far separated cultures perceived to have happened. Scientists studying this have said there appears to be a high water event at many places in the world that happened at about the same time. They couldn't tell how long ago but could tell the creation time was similar.
Planet alignment has a lot to do with pull on the earth. Everyone who has studied astronomy knows that. It's not going to expand the earth or anything, it will have an effect on seismic activity though and tides. Move weight around on the earth from the moons tides and that will effect seismic activity greatly. Thunderstorms and flooding can even effect seismic activity. A passing large comet or asteroid could also cause lines of force to be created. Everything is related, the fact that we have not documented precise evidence YET doesn't mean anything.
These may be small forces but the mass of a one inch pound force per square mile over a hunderd thousand square miles is a lot of force.

Anyone who has studied astronomy and seismic activity knows that only the Moon is correlated with seismic activity.
Many studies in the past have shown no significant correlations between the rate of earthquake occurrence and the semi-diurnal tides when using large earthquake catalogs.
Several recent studies, however, have found a correlation between earth tides (caused by the position of the moon relative to the earth) and some types of earthquakes.
I think that's a bit misleading Stereo !
