...the Thunderbirds suddenly threw down their most powerful Thunderbolts all at once. The fiery blast shook the entire world, toppling mountain ranges and setting forests and prairies ablaze. The flames leapt up to the sky in all directions, the worlds lakes boiled and the giant animals and evil people burned up where they stood. The Earth split open, sending great torrents across the entire world. The survivors found the bleached bones of the giant animals buried in mud and rock all over the world...

Sounds very much like what you would expect from the cataclysm hypothesized by Firestone et al. Multiple bolides striking the earth in the Great Lakes/Canada area, instant glacial/ice cap melting and floods, the giant animals like mammoths, etc. killed. It is amazing that this could have been remembered for 12,000 years, so it must have been incredibly awesome.

I agreed with this until I came to this: “But he also understood that celestial mechanics was fundamentally influenced by electromagnetic drivers.”

Followed by

“Velikovsky was certainly not the first to propose a celestial cause but he was probably the first to nail electromagnetism as the essence of planetary dynamics and propose chaos in the cosmos as driven by this erratic fundamental.”

I have not heard much about electromagnetism would be the driver of comet and meteor activity rather than gravity. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to think that disturbances in the Ort cloud caused by the galactic din — would rain down comets and meteors into the inner solar system from time to time.

reads like the younger dryas comet shower that killed off all the megafauna in north america.
