"The memory of a world without a moon lives in oral tradition among the Indians. The Indians of the Bogota highlands in the eastern Cordilleras of Colombia relate some of their tribal reminiscences to the time before there was a moon. “In the earliest times, when the moon was not yet in the heavens,” say the tribesmen of Chibchas..."

So, the Chibchas of the Bogota highlands must have had acces to the writings of Hippolytus, Lucian and Censorinus thus becoming persuaded to be equally 'mistaken'?

I don't know what to believe. 'The tools we have these days' or the evidence of the lying eyes of observant people such as quoted by ancient Greeks, Romans, Hebrews and 'Indians' of South America.

The greatest 'tool' we have is inside our cranium. I'm keeping an open mind. I do this in memory of Bruno and Immanuel Velikovsky.

I keep an open mind as well. However, the evidence is overwhelming that the Moon has been with us for billions of years. Also the ideas put forth by Immanuel Velikovsky in his book “Worlds in Collision” were shown to have been in error.
