| I found that
the general crustal magnetic pattern, combined with the positioning
of the original Shields, fell into a pattern similar to that which
the continents and magnetic declination of the Earth would fall
into if they continued to follow the movement that I had independently
plotted - but, more crucially, if it contracted to half its present
diameter.
These similarities would not, of course,
reveal themselves if conventional continent reconstructions were
wrong - something of which I was becoming more convinced.
My conclusion was that Mars is exactly the
same object as the Earth, following the same pattern of tectonic
activity and once having had the same continents, but now dried
and contracted. Mars presently has tectonic features but no evidence
of plates or interior currents which drive crust movement, suggesting
that it's dynamo has ceased.
Tying in with the timeline hypothesis, I
believed it was the remains of the previous Earth. It was the Sixth
Earth.
