Does that not fit in with at least one of Velikovsky's theories...?
It could, since the comet-like version of Venus was running around for a long while before the orbits crossed. To make the so-called Ammizaduga tablets’ observations of Venus visibility work requires different orbits for either Venus, or Earth, or both; the conventional method of making them work is to throw out the observations which don’t fit current expectation.
That the encounter of this asteroid with the Earth is thought to have taken place 7000 years ago is based on retrocalculation, and probably doesn’t have a unique solution in the math.
