Velikovsky, Immanuel Geology, Alternative Anomalies and Alternative Science
About the life, work, and theories of Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1979), who developed and published a set of theories about earth's history that explained many historical events and events in geologic history as caused by interactions with other planets.
A psychiatrist by training, Velikovsky did not base his claims on astronomical evidence and scientific inference or argument. Instead, he argued on the basis of ancient cosmological myths from places as disparate as India and China, Greece and Rome, Assyria and Sumer.
