I think people are sometimes mistaken on how they view history. I think we rely very heavily on our senses, sight most of all. Consider the climate of what we now know as the Middle East and Egypt. Desert.
Now once in antiquity, and we know this because of writings(a heavy dependence on language is also present), there were flourishing cities. Also evidenced in some cases(not Babylon for instance) are massive structures most notably the Great Pyramids. There is some significant reassurance in light of these enormous monuments that these civilizations did once in fact exist.
But relying so heavily on sight, what we see, and on what the conditions are now, relying heavily here on our concept of time and the present, we might assume that the land was then as it is now. I believe that a massive shift in the Earth occurs, not reversing the poles but shifting them. In other words something effects the planet so as to pull probably the North pole causing the Earth to shift quickly(in the cosmic sense) away from where it rests comfortably in relation to the Sun and then begin to shift back into a comfortable orbit as this effect moves on.
Now this effect could be caused much in the same way an Earthquake occurs. Tension is built up over time inside the planet as it quite literally hurtles through space. Eventually this reaches the tipping point and a great release occurs. This all happens deep within the molten core of the planet, and this shudder scrambles the bonds that have been created between like elements.
These bond clusters would have created the magnetic movement inside the planet relating to tectonics. Therefore when these magnetic locks become broken, continents move away from their original paths.(regarding California as an example: if the plates that currently make up the San Andreas fault were to move away from one another instead of sliding across each other)
Or the cause of this shift in poles could be an object that moves through space, too large to be grabbed by the Suns gravity, and pulls on the Earth(and the other planets) as it passes. It could be that this happens every so many revolutions of this part of the galaxy, movements that are so far beyond our scope that we only recently have come to understand our own planets relationship to the Sun and Moon. As this thing moves through the solar system it sometimes pulls or deposits moons from and on the planets it passes. Sometimes it slams past a planet shattering pieces away from both creating what we see as an asteroid belt. The end result is the same, a massive shift in the magnetism displayed by the Earth.
These huge movements of land masses could result(once the planet has sufficiently resettled into a constant orbit) in the concept of Pangea, or the effects could be far more subtle.
These areas we now know as deserts; the Sahara, Egypt, the Middle East; could at one time have been massively fertile lands, as rich as the American promised land was considered when it was "discovered" by European historians. Not just a civilization limited in scope by what we now see as the Nile river, but far surpassing it. Existing as the center of the Human world, until this great shift.
Circa 2500 BC is about as far as texts can reasonably place what we consider to be human history, as far as I know. That is at least the time that the Pyramids in Egypt were to have been built. These are the last vestiges of that civilization, their tombstone. Their civilization had come and gone by the time we begin to record history, the people moving into those areas which once were great having little understanding of who had built those things and how the land had been before. Remember these would be the survivors, that tiny percentage of billions(as we know humans are capable of creating such numbers) that were in just the right valley, or just the right hill, or just the right boat that somehow saw them to safety.
As the Earth rights itself the seas subside and the pull of the moons, or moons if any had been deposited, begins to work again. Civilization re-creates itself, or begins anew. The Dinosaurs were once the residing civilization on planet Earth.
What once had been the fertile plains of the Sahara become the vast desert, what was once a massive waterway/thruway/tradeway becomes a lone river, an oasis in a sea of sand. And we invent the language to read the tombstones of what is left of those who came before.
