Version 4.0. I have extended the duration in each state to two rotations. Improved lighting and higher resolution textures for better detail analysis. The ECDO euler is more accurately reflected, with the pivots at 5.1° north and south of the equator. A six hour lag and approximately 50% of...

Version 4.1 of the ECDO[1] visualization brings the Eulers directly back onto the equator. The Euler offset in 4.0 was derived from a physics-based simulation on the EGM2008 model, wherein it was observed that equatorial pivots were drifting a few degrees from the equator during the rotation. This version excludes any such physics based inputs and presents a purely geometric visualisation as described in the paper. This change has negligible effect on the utility of the results from the previous version. [1]

Doing some research -- likely you already have seen this before, but wondering if it has any relevance to ECDO? At least a few ancient / mysterious sites roughly aligned?

I have looked (briefly) at ley lines in this regard. Its easy to find significant megalithic sites near ley lines when considering how many of these sites are spread over the planet [1]. Most of these places are inundated, as evidenced by the layers of sediment on top of many of them (ie. Easter Island). There is somewhat of an alignment between the vertical ley lines in maps [2] and [3] which coincide with the pyramids and roughly with the pivots, but both the curved and straight leys miss the pivots by more than 500km, so I can't say I see a relationship between leys and ECDO rotations (based on what I've seen so far).

IKYK @EthicalSkeptic From the Olympics closing Note the line thru Africa? And the sun god ? Rotate that line counter clockwise to the north pole. Looks about 104° to me They are telling us what they KNOW You cant make this shit up

@EthicalSkeptic I had wondered about that pic. The choice of geometry. Centered where the new geographic pole is.

Nice visuals, are you working with Ben Davidson on the upcoming movie on this subject? Question? Why only 90 degrees rotation while the wingnut turns 180 degrees?

Ben is aware of this work, but I'm not involved in his current video project. Its a 104° rotation along the 31st meridian east - a mediated Dzhanibekov rotation as described in the ECDO hypothesis by @EthicalSkeptic (cited in the OP). [1]

Many hours of sweat and tears Ty Any plans to show oceans estimated wash as earth rolls over? Ty

I will be making further detail views using this model. Because we’re not sure of the actual period of the rotation, it’s extremely difficult to predict the extent of inundation from the model, but it does help to determine the direction of movements between land and water during the transitions. The extent of the inundations is most accurately measured from observations of these mega flows in elevation and photographic data from satellites and other aerial sources. Once enough of this extent data has been accumulated we’ll be able to map an more predictive global view.

The Black Sea & Eastern Mediterranean CFD-V1. State 1 to State 2 [1] over a nine-hour period (plus one hour of settling time). During the initial acceleration northwards, the water retreats to the south. Shortly after we move over the geographic north pole, the deceleration sets in, and centrifugal forcing is reversed by ±180° - the departed water returns, inundating much of Ukraine - home to considerable coal, gas, and marine sedimentary deposits. Orange markers are marine fossils. Blue/Pink markers are salt deposits. The water levels during the second phase of this simulation are lower than would be expected in reality. More than 50% of the fluid volume is lost over the Sahara to the south and leaves the simulation domain. Some of this volume would have returned during the deceleration, but is not accounted for here (this is therefore likely a conservative outcome for this scenario). A further >45% is lost to the north, leaving <5% of the original simulation domain volume. Depth, velocity, precursor- and primary-flows are visualised as follows: Depth: greyscale shading of the fluid volume. Whiter is deeper. Velocity: blue-white-red graded shading of the particle system. Precursor (thin) Flows: leading the main volume may be seen as little 'sparkles' at the head of the inundation. These provide clues as to incursion potential. Primary (heavy) Flows: white particle flows which provide a sense of volume distribution in the simulation. Pooling: Dark grey areas on land indicate pooled water. Please note that this is a physically informed visualisation of the primary (acceleration) and secondary (centrifugal) forcings only. Lunar tidal forcing is not accounted for, as it is temporally unpredictable, and of negligible effect by comparison to those under consideration. Possible overflows from the Arctic and North Sea are not modelled. Presented in 4K resolution with DEM (GEBCO bathymetry) and Google Satellite imagery. This is not a predictive safety indicator. It is a passable, evidence-supported approximation of flow direction and extent for the theorised rotation. I may iterate this solution one more time (each taking approximately a week) to improve the detail, but the agreement with existing geological, archaeological, and cultural accounts seems good at this point.

This paper is describing something which sounds remarkably similar to an ECDO state 2 to state 1 rotation a half a billion years ago. Excerpts from Evidence for a Large-Scale Reorganization of Early Cambrian Continental Masses by Inertial Interchange True Polar Wander, Kirschvink et al. (1997): "..at least two tectonic plates, involving more than two-thirds of Earth's continental lithosphere, were involved in a rapid rotation of ~90° relative to the spin axis. We speculate that the entire lithosphere may have been involved in this rotation. // The new ages, along with paleomagnetic data, indicate that continents moved at rapid rates that are difficult to reconcile with our present understanding of mantle dynamics. // The pole for this sequence is >80° away from the Vendian-Early Cambrian poles, implying that Australia underwent a large rotation while remaining near the equator sometime between Tommotian and Late Cambrian time. // Australia rotated counterclockwise during this time. // Antarctica, India, Africa, South America, and perhaps parts of East Asia also rotated with Australia. // True polar wander (TPW) is the process through which quasi-rigid spheroids align their maximum moments of inertia with the spin axis, pushing positive mass anomalies toward the rotational equator. // A variant of this mechanism, inertial interchange true polar wander (IITPW), involves discrete bursts of TPW of up to 90° in geologically short intervals of time if the magnitudes of the intermediate and maximum moments of inertia cross. This would result in a rapid movement away from the spin axis by the geographic location of the former pole with rotation of the entire solid Earth centered about the minimum moment of inertia located on the equator. // These two poles, with their stated polarity interpretation, are separated by about 68°; together they yield a plausible tropical position for Siberia, nearly on the opposite side of the globe from Australia. // If the velocities are due to TPW, however, such geodynamical considerations are obviated because the entire mantle would have rotated along with the lithosphere."
