Interest in a revival of Velikovsky’s theories in the 1970’s led many of his acolytes to publish a series of journals, some of which continue into the present. Among them were, “The Velikovskian”, “Pensee”, The Quantevolution Quarterly, Kronos, the Journal of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies, and a few others. Most are available from Mikimar Publishing http://www.mikamar.biz/Default.htm and http://www.varchive.org/ Mikimar used to offer a DVD disk with the sum of all Velikovsky writings extant in the late 1990’s that may still be available.

Also, Neo-Velikovskians are continuing research into catastrophist history, archaeology and astronomy with an emphasis on the latter which can be accessed here: www.thunderbolts.info. The Forum at this site is very active and discusses all aspects of V’s discoveries plus current research.

Immanuel Velikovsky explains this in an intriguing and controversial book, Worlds in Collision.

It was published in 1950, before the age of space exploration. When we finally got out there it was discovered that a number of his suppositions were either dead on or very close. It is worth a read.

Just a couple of minor problems. Their stomach contents were still undigested and their flesh was flash-frozen, some of the meat was fed to the dogs of the explorers.

I saw a theory many years ago that volcanic activity blasted huge quantities of gases into the upper atmosphere. When the gases reached the edge of space and were supercooled, being heavier they fell to earth in large "blobs". That accounted for the instant deaths and flash-freezing of so many critters in Siberia.

...as well as the wealth of large pyramid structures predating the ones at Giza, one by as much as 20,000 years...

Cue the "I don't want to say it was aliens" guy in 3...2...1...

This has absolutely nothing to do with your alien buddies, but legitimate recent discoveries. The ancient world was nothing like portrayed in modern fiction or movies. People did not even think as we do.

Yes, it was very good reading for me back in the 70’s. I didn’t swallow all his suppositions, but you are right that many were later proven true.

For me it is kind of like Atlas Shrugged, everybody should read it.

I am always amazed at how much I learn from the articles you post. Thanks for being my go-to librarian! :o])

if they live there, we will go kill ‘em

That’s why I really like Stephen Lekson.

he thrives on poking the academics with a pointy stick to inform us of the likely reality

I was taken with his Volume 1

I bugged my librarian several several times and she finally went to find it.....there is no volume II

thanks. Have you read this...

Velikovsky’s Ghost Returns

Thanks M, I feel the same way sometimes -- something will turn up in a search for something else, looks *fascinating*, so I click, and find a topic that either I'd already seen and pinged (and sometimes an embarrassingly short time before) or posted myself (usually those are from some years earlier).

...I didn’t swallow all his suppositions, but you are right that many were later proven true.

I do not think Velikovsky made suppositions, what he did in his monumental works is present the reader with evidence from myths, legends and ancient records in Worlds in Collision, and the archaeological, geological and fossil records in Earth In Upheaval.

In other words, he showed the history of the earth in a multi-disciplinary fashion - and the reader is thereby enabled to make up their own minds from that evidence. Thus, those who are terrified of the possibility that there have been major destructive catastrophes in recent millennia can malign his investigation and research and thereby play ostrich. Just as Carl Sagan did.

Remember, as he walked away after being forced to recant, Galileo is reputed to have said, YET IT MOVES.

Just so, VENUS REMAINS HOT, and NOT because of any run-a-way greenhouse effect. The planet remains almost MOLTEN, and we have Sagan to thank for the Global Warming myth.

Sagan, the nemesis of Velikovsky had previously touted Venus as the planet most like earth, lush and verdant.

No thanks necessary! I figure you don’t get enough thanks, even when you thank yourself and I thought I’d just add to the pile!

So thanks again!

Excellent!
