    Velikovsky, Hero or Villain?

    I have yet to read Velikovsky in entirety, although I have read snippets.

    For those who have, I'd like to hear what you think of his theories.

    Here is a short, 10 minute video to kick it off..cheesy I know...turn your volume down because the music is awful

    Here's the description:

    Here's a CBC Doc that gets into the topic of "collective amnesia" further....



    Duration: app 55 minutes

    Velikovsky was a true hero in my opinion. He worked hard to try to warn/educate humanity about the cyclical cataclysms that continually befall our tiny planet. Scientists scorned him, but time has proven him correct!

    he is interesting, but I would hardly say anything he wrote about has been proven. In fact the exact opposite is true, so far. Maybe the great destroyer is coming, but it can't be seen or detected, so who knows.

    MPO is that Velikovsky is correct. Religion, 'box' science, and politics have skewed the true history of our planet.

    Worlds in Collision- Immanuel Velikovsky.


    Immanuel Velikovsky a Brilliant Scientist who research the creation and was finally to be found correct with his discoveries.

    These were all documented in the Mabinogi a Welsh book that escaped the Roman Churches desire to hide all Ancient British History. By calling it the Mabinogian it was classed as childrens fairy tales or bedtime stories which the Church was not interested in. Mabinogi meants creation and refers to the creation of the Universe. This was against the dogma of the churches how the world was created and on the seventh day god rested. Which is bullshite and unbelievable but in ancient times anyone speaking out against the church was swiftly dealt with and silenced.

    The Church attempted to destroy all British History including all the Ancient Kings, However in order to do so they must destroy all the evidence too which they were unable to do so.

    Velikovsky was discredited by academics who were only interested in their own agenda's and reputations. However people started to sit up and realise his research was correct.



    Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett realised this years ago too and have long been the victims of Religious zealots and academics who are only interested in protecting their own names and reputation and will say anything in order to discredit anyone who attempts to tell the truth.

    Velikovsky was a genius much like Tesla was. He threatened academia, and they knew his theories were right, so they crucified him. What the 'box thinkers' don't understand or what doesn't 'fit inside their personal box', they set out to destroy. Tesla and Velikovsky both received the same treatment.

    Well said Judee

    Personally I don't think it was so much about what they didn't understand, but what they didn't want humanity to know and understand...all in the name of greed power and control.
