Sorry I misremembered where Giza rotated to. However, my point still stands: if the "surface" of the earth rotates to a new position there will be acceleration and deceleration. Unless you are saying that the interior of the earth rotates underneath the surface of the earth. My understanding was that the interior ball of molten earth continues as it is, and the surface of the earth rotates. If this is true, and if If South Africa rotates to the North Pole, then using s = 1/2 at^2, the distance from Cape Town to the North Pole is roughly 8,500 miles, this yields a max speed of about 350 mph and max acceleration of about 30mph^2.
1 G is about 22mph^2 so this seems reasonable.
However, I just realized that there could be two "floods", the first on the departure, and, depending on how slow the return is, possibly a second. I don't understand why the return would not also take one day, as the videos of the spinning handle appears symmetrical in its excursions.
The return involves the increase in magnetic field and could be sudden as well, yes. But I don't see the hashmarks for that inundation - the Saudi Peninsula flood appears to be slow, with a viscoplastic recovery of the underlying mantle. These things are still open however, yes.
