Wait, the only bit of information about the poles being backwards is that one single photo. Am I missing something? No hardcore info about it in your link or thread, just one sentence in the link saying it's backwards

ancient egyptians knew draconis was the north celestial body, even the sun rotates around it..
so the circumpolar stars like the pleides are considered northern stars, as seen in this part of the hemisphere.

the suns magentic poles effect the earths magnetic pole.....if there is a large magnetic flux (solar flares) then you will see temporary changes in our magnetic field...including temporary magnetic flips....but the question is...would it stay like that??

the E&M universe is more important than you think....the suns E&M forces can manipulate time and space (including mass) as we know it.....

peace

Actually sorry, found more info in your link:

Earth's magnetic poles are actually pretty far from its geographic poles. In 2005, the North Magnetic Pole (NMP) was about 810 km (503 miles) from the Geographic North Pole. The NMP was in the Arctic Ocean north of Canada. The South Magnetic Pole (SMP) was about 2,826 km (1,756 miles) from the Geographic South Pole. The SMP was off the coast of Antarctica in the direction of Australia.

From your own link, it states that north is north and south is south. Just off by a couple hundred miles. I don't get the whole "backwards pole" thing that you are trying to put forward

The geographic north pole is defined as north, and the geographic south pole is defined as south. But, the geomagnetic north and south poles (which are the ones that a "off by a couple hundred miles") are a bit different. In electromagnetism, a north pole is defined as where there vector of the EM field lines points outward (in layman terms, it's where the field exits the object), while the south pole is defined as where the vector of the field points inward (where the field enters the object). In the case of the Earth, and as shown in the image in the OP, the geomagnetic field lines enter in the geographic north and exit in the geographic south. This means the true north geomagnetic pole is actually in the geographic south, and the true south geomagnetic pole is actually in the geographic north.
However, before people were able to map the Earth's EM field lines, the geomagnetic poles were names in relation to the geographic poles - north in the north, south in the south. Consequently, what we call the "north geomagnetic pole" is actually the south geomagnetic pole, and what we call the "south geomagnetic pole" is actually the north geomagnetic pole.
