Charles Hutchins Hapgood (1904 – December 1982) was an American academician, and one of the best known advocates of a Pole shift theory. Hapgood received a master's degree from Harvard University in 1932 in medieval and modern History. His Ph.D. work on the French Revolution was interrupted by the Great Depression. He taught for a year in Vermont, directed a community center in Provincetown, and served as the Executive Secretary of Franklin Roosevelt's Crafts Commission. During World War II, Hapgood worked for the COI (which later became the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)), then for the Red Cross, and finally served as a liaison officer between the White House and the Office of the Secretary of the War.

Abb. 1 Charles Hutchins Hapgood (1904–1982)

Der US-amerikanische Historiker Charles Hutchins Hapgood (1904 – Dezember 1982) (Abb. 1) gehört zu den zentralen Persönlichkeiten des Neo-Katastrophismus und der alternativen Ur- und Frühgeschichts-Forschung - insbesondere der Primhistorik - des 20. Jahrhunderts. Popularität erlangte er vor allem durch seine Forschungen bezüglich der Möglichkeit rezenter Kataklymen infolge von 'Pol-Sprüngen' (plötzliche Verlagerungen der Erdachse) [1] sowie durch seine Beschäftigung mit geographischen Anomalien auf alten Weltkarten [2] (vergl.: Prof. Hapgood und die Karten der alten Seekönige von Peter Marsh).

Sein Studium der Geschichtswissenschaften absolvierte Hapgood an der renommierten Harvard University, wo er 1932 den akademischen Grad eines MA in mittelalterlicher und neuer Geschichte erwarb. Die Arbeit an seiner Dissertation zum Ph.D. über die Französische Revolution musste er aufgrund der damaligen Wirtschaftskrise ("Great Depression") abbrechen. Danach übte er zunächst ein Jahr lang eine Lehrtätigkeit in Vermont aus, leitete ein community center in Provincetown, und diente als 'Executive Secretary' in Franklin D. Roosevelts 'Crafts Commission'.

Während des II. Weltkriegs war Hapgood für das COI tätig (aus dem später das Office of Strategic Services (OSS) und die Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) hervorgingen), dann arbeitete er für das Rote Kreuz (Red Cross), und diente schließlich als Verbindungsoffizier zwischen dem Executiv Office des Weißen Hauses und dem Büro des Kriegsministeriums ('Office of the Secretary of the War').

Nach dem Kriegsende unterrichtete Hapgood Geschichte am Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dort inspirierte ihn einer seiner Schüler mit einer Frage zum verschwundenen 'Kontinent' Mu dazu, ein led to a class project to investigate Atlantis. This led to an investigation of possible ways that massive earth changes could occur, including the theories of Hugh Auchincloss Brown.

In 1958 Hapgood published his first book, The Earth's Shifting Crust which denied the existence of plate tectonics. Despite a glowing foreword written by none other than Albert Einstein shortly before his death in 1955, Hapgood's arguments have been disproved, and plate tectonics is now universally accepted by mainstream science. In this book, and two successive books, Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings (1966) and The Path of the Pole (1970), Hapgood proposed the radical theory that the Earth's axis has shifted numerous times during geological history. This hypothesis is not accepted by mainstream geologists.

Hapgood also became an advocate for alleged medium Elwood D. Babbitt.

Hapgood died as a result of being struck by an automobile, at the age of 72.

Hapgood's protege, Rand Flem-Ath, who engaged in an extended correspondence with Hapgood, greatly expanded on Hapgood's work and developed his own theories in the 1995 book, When the Sky Fell.

Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings used numerous archival maps, including the Piri Reis Map, which he claims show a vast southern continent roughly similar to Antarctica in shape, to propose that a 15 degree pole shift occurred around 9,600 B.C. (approx. 11.600 years ago), and that a part of the Antarctic was ice-free at that time. By implication an ice-age civilization could have mapped the coast at that point in time. This has been debunked by cartographers.
