Velikovsky presents the revolutionary results of his 10-year-long interdisciplinary research into modern catastrophism based on eyewitness reports by ancestors, which shook the doctrine of uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution.
Reviews
On Jun 24 2019, a reader said:
My 10th grade teacher should have had me reading this instead of esoteric Shakespeare. Velikovsky's research is extensive and unrefutable, IMHO. A must read for anyone searching for the true history of this God forsaken planet. Question Everything.
