They claim the 'hyperactivity' of Earth’s magnetic fields may have led to the destruction of the ozone layer, and an influx of UV radiation.

Farmer White played 14 of his 15 Tests for England after the age of 37, taking 25 wickets in the 1928-29 series in Australia. He also scored six centuries in first-class cricket, and two double centuries – all this achieved as an amateur; his day job was running his farm in Combe Florey, just north of Taunton.

This makes it easier to establish a reliable trade system, which spurs the economy. The advances in the economy, in turn, allow the region to stabilize, which can ultimately alter political power structures. Roads also allow everyday citizens to travel easier, which increases marriages between individuals from other locals and, in so doing, increases the meeting and mingling of various cultures. This may result it a shift in the culture’s social, religious, or political beliefs.
