Immanuel Velikovsky was Professor Emeritus at Princeton, a brilliant scientist, even editing Einstein's papers for him. Late in life, he developed a love for Psychology, and recieved a doctorate in that discipline. He began to focus on speech as the basis for human expression, and began research into early languages. As a professor Emeritus at Princeton at the time, he had all the resources of Princeton's vast language libraries at his disposal. In his studies, he began to notice a lack of written information or 'black holes' in certain time periods, and this void seemed to appear in each hemisphere at the same times.

He also noticed reports in Aztec writings which spoke of a period of time when the sun refused to rise, while in the Chinese writings a perpetual 'morning' occurred when the sun would rise and set in a small circular pattern, never coming overhead.

Immanual Velikovsky, a Jew, was quite familiar with the writings of the prophets, and though he never pretended to believe "God" handled anything, he always believed the events written there actually happened. He was sure there was a logical natural explanation. After several years of research, he was convinced he had found it. It required a disruption of the theory of evolution, the big bang, and virtually negated all the profound theories of the proud theoriticians of the day. As a scientist, he knew the uproar his works would cause, so he had them so well documented with footnotes and references, that they were (and still are) irrefutible through any reason. The main claim that the earth has suffered more than 3 catyclysms in the past 12,000 years is what mainly set them off. It turns out, scientists jealous of their beliefs are without reason.

His books were all published in the mid-1950's and early 60's, and were the subject of the most bizzare uproar among "scientists" since the inquisition. Even tho his first published book "worlds in collision" was a national best seller in no time, it was abruptly pulled from publication in the US, and even today the mere mention of his name among 'scientists' draws disdain immediately. (try it sometime in the Astronomy club folders) They were subsequently published in Great Britain, but not in nearly the volume they deserved. As a result, most of his works are no longer available from any source except a used book store if you are lucky enough to find them. I have managed to obtain four of the five in my forays.

What follows is a fragmentary scenario based on three of Immanual Velikovsky's five books,

"Worlds in Collision" "Earth in Upheaval" and "Ages in Chaos".
