An international team of scientists believe that in the rings of the ancient cowrie tree they have found the answer to the riddle of the last pole shift of the Earth.
New Zealand cowrie is a tree species of the Agathis genus and is the largest tree species in New Zealand. Kauri is one of the oldest species of conifers and is believed to have been contemporary with dinosaurs.
The cowrie trunk was discovered about three months ago during excavations during the construction of a geothermal power plant. The tree was found at a depth of 8 meters, its trunk reaches 2.5 meters in diameter.
Carbon dating has shown that the ancient cowrie was alive 41,000 to 42,500 years ago, with an approximate age of 1,500 years, making it one of the oldest trees ever found.
“This cowrie is unique, there is nothing like it in the world,” says Alan Hogg, associate professor at the University of Waikato, director of the radiocarbon analysis laboratory.
The tree's uniqueness lies in the fact that during its 1,500-year life, the tree, as scientists hypothesized, experienced a geomagnetic shift twice, when the magnetic north pole shifted down to the southern hemisphere, and then rose again.
According to Alan Hogg, a lot of trees have been found that have found this or that moment of the shift, but this cowrie is the first that could survive the entire cycle.
“The time it takes for the pole shift to occur is critical and subtle. But what geologists cannot do is we study the growth rings of old trees,”says Alan.

Work with cowrie has just begun and the overall picture is still unclear, however, according to Hogg, when the work is completed, it will give a full description of the geomagnetic cycle, more precisely, a picture of solar radiation in the earth's atmosphere during the excursion.
In their work, scientists proceed from the fact that as the magnetic poles moved, the strength of the earth's geomagnetic field weakened, letting in more cosmic radiation. As a consequence, this was reflected in the thickness of the magnetic rings: the more radiation there was, the thinner the rings became.
The study is funded by the Australian Research Council and is led by Professor Chris Tourney of the University of New South Wales, an expert in paleoclimatology and climate change over the past 40,000 years.
Editorial comment
At first glance, this so-called study does not say anything, as scientists are singing again their old song about the "radiocarbon method" and the climate cycle of 40,000 years. However, there is an interesting truth hidden between the lines.
So, according to speculations, this cowrie survived the full geomagnetic cycle when the North Pole traveled south and then jumped back. At the same time, the age of the tree is about 1,500 years, which suggests that the time between a single pole shift is a period of about 700 years, after which the poles return to their old place again.
And 700 years is already a figure that correlates well with an alternative view of the “history” of modern “civilization”, which, as alternativeists suggest, is somewhere around 400-500 years old.
That is, in the area of the conditional 1,500 years of the conditional new era, a pole shift occurred, which completely nullified the brains of the planet's population, returning society to the Paleolithic era.

Over the next 200 years, the survivors of the cataclysm multiplied and built kingdoms, doing so under the strict guidance of the survivors of the disaster in bunkers in the Alps and Tibet - after all, it was around these mountain ranges that the first centers of "civilization" appeared.
In the year 1700, the aborigines who had restored the population were armed with shovels and sent to dig out the pyramids and St. Petersburg from the sand, after which they planted the king in every excavated place, planted forests in Siberia, Europe and Canada and began the countdown of “modern history”. And although the “academicians” deny this scenario, the cowrie annual rings confirm it.
