The evidence of the pole shifts appeared before the occurrence. Plates were moving, there were earthquakes, erratic pole behavior and other magnetic anomalies, and dormant volcanoes had resurrected. Radiation levels had increased somewhat due to the magnetosphere protection weakening. The shape of the Earth had been changing, not over millennia, but even in a generational span there were islands forming, while existing island receded.
Those who knew hoarded land and goods, built underground, and claimed ancient underground regions for themselves, for in most cases, a futile effort to be preserved.

The clouds had cleared, the dust had settled. The new equatorial lands were melting, the new poles were adjusting. God knows what sort of DNA would emerge to reassert its evolutionary path; what new iterations would arise. There were pockets of people, the hidden underground, surviving on Mountains, the fortunate… and unfortunate.
Then, there was the humming, the resonance. All over the planet, ancient structures, vibrated loose their overgrowth. It was like dormant re-powered factories coming back online. Built at a time when the Earth was in this position, they were once again relevant. The pyramidal structures came back to life. Their purpose was finally understood.
