I've studied nautical charts from the 1700's and 1800's as a hobby and New Zealand has always been...where New Zealand has always been. Very surprising isn't it!

If New Zealand was charted wrong, then how the hell did the British manage to navigate there, explore and colonize it if it changed location!?

I'm sure somebody can explain this away with a pure waffle theory?

Anybody?

it didn't change location HERE...... read the post above yours.... WE would have came from somewhere else, YOU guys wouldn't notice a difference if you are from here origionally....geesh!

So then basically it never moved you people who think it is different moved here from some other timeline or parralel dimension?

ROFLMAO
Agree with the person who said this is the most ridiculous ATS thread EVER.
Oh wait check out the thread about the guy who claims to have discovered antigravity. This thread comes in second.

I love how people refuse to accept the truth and will make up any story to pose as facts to fit their theories.

This is all the info you need OP! Sarcasm included.

Ok guys, I also have to admit that I thought New Zealand was north west of Australia. I have no clue why that's the case. And since we're talking about maps- who shoved that tiny country Luxembourg in between France and Germany?

been a while since i posted here (and probably no1 will read it) but i dont think we should be so hard on the skeptics here. It makes sense for them to look at us funny.

Apparently some of the timeshifters said there was only 1 bomb in hiroshima and not nagasaki.

Well, i clearly remember two atom bombs in nagasaki. So, when i read that i thought to my self, wow, that guy is nuts.

But then i realized, hey australia is different for me than how it looks today.....

So i felt what its like for people to look at you and go (your totally wrong its been like that always stop being dumb).

Its not their fault. Until they feel something of this magnitude themselves, their opinion will never change.

wow, I only hit the first page im afraid & couldn't read anymore.

Oz & NZ are definitely where they should be, & unless i skipped the day they were handing out hash cookies, hasn't moved...lol

This just in.......

When Australia Went Walk About

In September of 1999 Australia caused a world wide ruckus when every one in Australia got on the piss (alcohol) and decided to relocate the country elsewhere.

CNN had this report.

Tired of Being Isolated and Ignored, headlines read "Continent Isn't Bloody Moving" News today from Sydney, 800 miles South of Nova Scotia — After what witnesses described as an all night blinder during which it kept droning on about how it was always being bloody ignored by the whole bloody world and would bloody well stand to do something about it, Australia this morning woke up to find itself in the middle of the North Atlantic.
"Good Lord, that was a booze up," said a bleary-eyed Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, speaking from his residence at Kirribilli House, approximately 600 nautical miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. According to Australians and residents of several countries destroyed or lewdly insulted during the continent's nearly 7,000-mile saltwater stagger, the binge began just after noon yesterday at a pub in Brisbane, where several patrons were discussing Australia Day and the nation's general lack of respect from abroad. "It started off same as always; coupla fossils saying how our Banjo Patterson was a better poet than Walt Whitman, how Con the Fruiterer is funnier than Seinfeld, only they're Aussies so no one knows about 'em," recalled witness Kevin Porter. "Then this bloke Martin pipes up and says Australia's main problem is that it's stuck in Australia, and everybody says 'Too right!'"

"Well, it made sense at the time," Porter added. By 2 a.m., powered by national pride and alcohol, the 3-million-square-mile land mass was barging eastward through the Coral Sea and crossing into the central Pacific, leaving a trail of beer cans and Chinese take-away in its wake. When dawn broke over the Northern Hemisphere, the continent suddenly found itself, not only upside down, but smack in the middle of the Atlantic, and according to most of its 19 million inhabitants, that's the way it's going to stay. "We sent troops to Afghanistan. You never hear about it. We have huge government scandals. You never hear about it. It's all 'America did this,' and 'Europe says that,'" exclaimed Perth resident Paul Watson. "Well, we're right in the thick of things now, so let's just see if you can you ignore us."

Officials on both sides of the Atlantic conceded that would be difficult. "They broke Florida," said U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher. "And most of Latin America is missing." Meanwhile, victims of what's already been dubbed the "Australian Crawl" are still shaking off the event. "Australia bumped into us at about midnight local time," said Hawaii governor Ben Cayetano. "They were very friendly — they always seem friendly — but they refused to go around unless we answered their questions. But the questions were impossible. 'Who is Ian Thorpe? Do you have any Tim Tams? What day is Australia Day?'" "Fortunately, somebody here had an Unimportant World Dates calendar and we aced the last one," Cayetano added. Panama, however, was not so lucky. "Australia came through here screaming curses at us to let them through," said Ernesto Carnal, who guards the locks at the entrance to the Panama Canal. "We said they would not fit, so they demanded to speak with a manager. When I go to find Mr. Caballos, they sneak the whole continent through." When Caballos shouted to the fleeing country that it had not paid, Australia "accidentally" backed up and took out every nation in the region, as well as the northern third of Venezuela. They then made up a cheery song about it. By late morning today, however, not everyone in Australia was quite so blithe. "We've still got part of Jamaica stuck to Queensland," said Australian army commander Lt. Gen. Peter Cosgrove. "I think we might have declared war on it. I don't bloody remember. Maybe it's time to go home." Cosgrove, however, is not in the majority, and at press time, U.S., African, and European leaders were still desperately trying to negotiate for Australia's withdrawal. But the independent-minded Aussies were not making it easy. In a two-hour meeting at midday, Australian representatives listed their demands: immediate inclusion in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a permanent CNN presence in all 6 Australian states, a worldwide ban on hiring Paul Hogan, a primetime U.S. television contract for Australian Rules Football, and a 4,500-mile-long bridge between Sydney and Los Angeles. U.S. negotiators immediately walked out, calling the Australian Rules Football request "absurd."

A week later Australia was forced to move back to it's original spot in the world, after the queen threatened to give Kylie Minogue and Rolf Harris back if they did not comply.

Au contraire, mon frère. Guess I'll have to go old school on ya: Can Someone Explain Why There is not Glass in the Atmosphere?

The classics never die.

I have to admit, that is pretty funny....

Even though I am one of the nuts who has noticed a bunch of the changes to the maps, and Nelson Mandella being alive and countles others etc...

I KNOW we must sound nutty to those not experiencing it.....there was a time when I would have told us all we must have been drugged or something, I would just think "nut case"....but now I can't, because I see it too...... unfortunatly..... karma for being such a skeptic before mabey???

KILL THIS THREAD WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My eyes are burning.. ARGH

then STOP looking....

THAT simple..... geesh!

if there are topics you are interested n, then go look into it, MANY of us have experienced this, so you must have allways been in this timeline.... not ONE thing will have changed for you!

Count yourself lucky that your reality hasn't also been turned completely upside down...

Do you have even ONE scientific theory to disprove this???? NO???? Well, then stop complaining if you have nothing real to add!

What was the geology of New Zealand?

That will either 'prove' or 'disprove' this notion. It is a pertinent question and should get to the heart of the matter.

No it won't prove a thing because NOTHING in THIS timeline will have changed to prove it!

Then again, all of us who rember things differently could draw the way it used to be, because there will be NO evidence in this timeline on maps etc.....

All the old maps are in the old timeline.

There must be somethign we can look into, physics or something, and enough people recalling exact dates of many celebrity deaths including Nelson Mandella etc.... that was back in 81 or earlier as far as I know.

I live in Australia and haven't noticed Aus or NZ move. But maybe it wasn't us that moved, the rest of the world moved!

I blame time travelers trying to stop 2012 for the moving landmasses and missing cellphones and car keys.

For all the people who dislike this thread and say its a hoax etc and complain about the length it has grown to then their is a simple solution - stop posting in this thread and it will die a natural death.

I meant - and apologies for not being explicit - what was the geology of New Zealand like in the other theoretical timeline?

It will prove it, if you have an understanding of geological processes etc.

So that's it!
I knew Australia was getting too close to America.

"Australia bumped into us at about midnight local time," said Hawaii governor Ben Cayetano. "They were very friendly — they always seem friendly — but they refused to go around unless we answered their questions.

I have a confession to make.

What we were really doing was delivering our favourite Abo, Obama, to Hawaii. He's actually from the Phuh Khing Grey Tribe of Lar Jeer Mountain. Those Lar Jeers are really something. Just great for mountain men, they really give you something to hold on to.

We had to stall them while we put the birth notices in all the old newspapers, and distributed some Kenyan birth certificates to disguise our involvement.

And now we rule the world through Obama ...
Muahahaha

"Abo" a bit of a derogatory term for Aboriginal people.

Abo is just short for Aborigine, and there is nothing derogatory about Aborigine.

Sadly, too many whites in Australia will make both terms, and any substitute term people come up with, derogatory, just by their tone of voice.

However, between native and non-native friends, Abo and Whitey are just friendly terms in the context of traditional, pub going Aussies using mild insults as an indication of friendship.

It's all in the tone.

Does anyone remember Portugal being on the east of Spain. . .

not being funny but I swear it was on the east of Spain.
