Worlds in Collision (Immanuel Velikovsky, 1950) gives an interesting theory on the origin and history of Venus. It relates to historical events on Earth 3500+/- years ago as well.
Yeah - amazing minds and all that. I didn’t want to go too far here with that, as half the people here would be very cross with me for suggesting anything outside of the ‘accepted’ status quo, or allow any new ideas to enter (even if the new ideas are 65 years old).
History, like climate change and science, is settled and fixed. Don’t even try to argue different. /s
