Tracing the continental drift: Continents are moving east

If you retrace the sea floor spreading and run it forward again, the startling effect is a clear eastward flow of the continents along the equator, with a circular hole at the north pole (more continental mass being in the northern hemisphere) and a circular land mass at the south pole, therewhile opening the Pacific (?) and Atlantic Oceans and closing the Persian Gulf, after burying what was left of Tethys under the Alps and the Himalayan Mountains. This magma flow seems to follow the projection of the "ecliptic" (i. e. the position of the noonday sun) onto the planet in exaggeration.

To be sure, this video is a more than poor rendition, but I am no king at this. If anyone can do it better, please mail. A slightly better rendition, plus rotating globe animation, background information and more on the subject is to be found here: http://home.pages.at/jhinrichs/trace.html
