I think I understand the reason for the strong impulse to tell an unthinkable story about Immanuel Velikovsky, and even so in detail. Velikovsky is the first scientist who, in all hearsay, revealed, showed and proved that Darwin's theory of evolution and Newton's heavenly mechanics are fundamentally wrong, that the postulate of the modern concept of the world stability, on which these theories are based, is simply unfounded. At the beginning of the 20th century, atomic and quantum physics began to develop rapidly. Scientists have seen that there is no stability in the microcosm, but constant dramatic changes occur. Isn't the microcosm of the atom a prototype of our solar system? The microcosm exists here and now, and is inseparable from us. Is it possible to so stubbornly stick to the concept of the stability of the universe and from a school bench to introduce an illusory theory, such as the theory of evolution, into the consciousness of children? Velikovsky treated the chronicles of ancient peoples, including the Bible, as a reliable historical source. In the modern scientific world, they are still not recognized as orthodox, and in secular schools it is customary to attribute ancient chronicles to the section of mythology, in the preface to his book The Ages of Chaos. Velikovsky writes that when the waters of the sea split and the people cross it at the bottom, you cannot treat it as a myth, but as a real cataclysm that occurred in the solar system. In the previous article, I said that Velikovsky, in search of additional evidence of the events of the origin, in other sources except the Bible, came across the Egyptian papyrus, which is kept in the Leiden Museum in Holland, where the same events of the origin are described, as in the Bible, and even with similar expressions and phrases. Velikovsky had no doubt that he had found the Egyptian version of history, which the scientific world considered non-existent, or was deliberately hidden in order not to allow the collapse of the concept of stability in the existing chronology of events. A typical combination of facts, in my opinion, which, apparently, is not only Darwin's theory. We will talk about the orderliness of the modern scientific world. The first book by Velikovsky, Worlds in Collisions, was published in 1950. Three tasks were set by Velikovsky in this work. To show that in historical times there were physical upheavals of a global nature. That these upheavals were caused by an extraterrestrial agent, and that this agent can be identified and recognized. The author did a colossal job based on chronological evidence of different peoples at all ends of the globe, on classical literature, on epics of the northern races, on sacred books of the East and West, on legends and folklore of primitive peoples, on ancient astronomical texts and maps, on geological and paleontological material. In the prologue, Velikovsky notes that the existing modern theories in astronomy and philosophy about the structure of the Universe contradict each other. Speaking of the planet Earth, the author focuses on the works of the founder of paleontology of the vertebrae, Georges Cuvier, 1769-1832, who believed that the core of the globe was broken catastrophically, and some representatives of the animal world, unchanged from the moment of creation, disappeared as a result of these catastrophes. Cuvier's theory, the roots of which are traced back to Aristotle, about the stable forms of life that are destroyed during cataclysms, was pushed out of the theory of evolution. In geology, the theory of Charles Layella, in biology, the theory of Charles Darwin. But the numerous geological and paleontological data that Velikovsky provides in the book do not fit into the theory of evolution of both Charles. Even the authors of textbooks perceiving Darwinism as a dogma cannot do anything about this contradiction. I will stop here for a minute and ask a question that has been tormenting me for a long time and to which I cannot yet clearly answer myself. What is the power that blurs the eyes of outstanding scientists, makes them go astray, pick up facts, act dishonestly and look convincingly right in the eyes of others? And the story repeats itself. The so-called trial of Velikovsky by the American academic community, which tried to seal the genius, finally sealed it. Wikipedia and other encyclopedias have still not removed the stigma of the creator of pseudoscientific theories from him, despite the fact that the trial of Velikovsky won, and most of his predictions will soon be confirmed by scientific discoveries in all areas where he worked. In his book, Worlds in Conflicts, Velikovsky addresses the future reader, arousing in him curiosity. For example, he writes about the mysteries of the Ice Age. Glaciers are formed in the area of eternal snow, so they remain on the slopes of high mountains. North Siberia is the coldest place in the world. Why did the Ice Age not affect this area at the time when it visited the base of Mississippi and all of South Africa? The theory of the evolution of Laiella and Darwin postulates the slow change of animals and the slow change of geological processes. If so, then why did the Ice Age not affect the coldest place on Earth, northeast Siberia? But there was a sharp cooling, as a result of which mammoths, animals, which, according to Darwin's theory, are most adapted to fight for existence, than elephants. And the elephants survived. If the end of the Ice Age, Velikovsky wrote, was only a few thousand years ago, when art and writing had already served the ancient civilization, records left by nature in stones and records left by man should give the corresponding picture. In the annals of the ancient Etruscans Etruscans are a mysterious developed civilization that flourished on the territory of Italy in the early first millennium BC. There were information about seven periods of life on Earth. Ancient Greeks had similar information. Hesiod, one of the most ancient Greek authors, wrote about four periods and four generations of people destroyed by angry planetary gods. Similar information exists on the shores of the Bengal Gulf and in Tibet. The sacred Indian book Bhagavata Purana talks about four periods of the existence of the Earth, each of which ended in cataclysms, almost completely destroying humanity. Now is the fifth period. The same information is found in the sacred book of the ancient Persians, Avesta, and in the ancient encyclopedia of the Chinese. Information about global disasters that led to the almost complete disappearance of humanity is found in the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans. In the chronicles of the Mexican kingdom it is said that man and life already existed before the present sky and earth were formed. On the islands of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii and Polynesia, as well as in Iceland, it is believed that the Earth has survived nine times and each time there was a different sky. The Jewish religious concept appeared in the period after the end. According to this concept, before creating the existing world, God created and destroyed the earth and the sky seven times to create something that would satisfy him. The most incredible story described in the Bible is the story of the stopped sun and moon. Heavenly mechanics work with absolute accuracy. But does this mean that our Earth cannot withstand collisions when faced with large masses of meteorites at a tremendous speed crossing the solar system? From the time of Aristotle to April 26, 1803, when the rain of meteorites fell in the south of France, the scientific world did not believe in such a possibility. In the book of Yahshua, two phrases earlier, the description of the stopped sun and moon is about a stonefall that destroyed more anionites than they were killed by the sword of the sons of Israel. The author of the book of Yahshua could not know the connections of these two phenomena. Does this mean that the mentioned events could take place if they were described one after another? In the Mexican analogues of Cuauhtitlán, it is reported that during the times of the space disaster in the distant past, the night lasted for a long time. Biblical stories were not known about the regions of the western hemisphere, and the positions of the sun are different in both sources. In the recorded legends of pre-Columbian Central America, it is said that 52 years before the disaster, coinciding with the times of the stopped sun, another space disaster occurred. It was during this disaster, which coincided with the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, that the Jews from the country of slavery came to an end. Egyptian documents of that time describe literally the same punishments and in the same expressions as in the Bible. The legends of the Arabian Peninsula tell about the same phenomena in their country and on the Red Sea coast. Velikovsky synchronizes events in the history of the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and shows that the same unusual phenomena of nature were observed at all ends of the globe. In the middle of the second millennium BC, the Earth experienced one of the greatest disasters in its history. The comet approached it. At first, the comet touched the Earth with its tail, the first sign of which was red dust, the cause of the bloody coloring of seas, lakes and rivers. Dissolved particles of iron pigment colored the world red. This is described in the sources of the western hemisphere, in the papyrus of the Egyptian eyewitness of the disaster and in the Bible. The ancient Greeks, Babylonians and the Finnish Kalevali have information about this. After this, a meteor shower fell on the Earth, according to the Bible, the Egyptian papyrus, Buddhist texts and Mexican sources. Mentioning the theory of the formation of oil, Velikovsky writes that the tails of the comet consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen. They do not burn during their flight in space, as there is no oxygen there. If a large mass of the comet's tail gets into the atmosphere, some of them will burn, binding all the free oxygen. Some will escape, the flame will turn into a liquid that, after pouring into the ground, will seep through the sand and rocks and pores. And on the water it will float, burning. Velikovsky found information about such phenomena in the oral and written testimonies of the peoples of both hemispheres. The Earth plunged deeper into the tail of the comet and approached its body. Darkness engulfed the Earth, the light of the fire was barely visible in the dusty darkness, and the lamps were inflated with a stormy wind. In the sources of different peoples, it is reported that the Earth was plunged into darkness from 3 to 9 days. Velikovsky believes that such a difference is explained by the inability to accurately determine the duration of the day in such conditions. Even superstition about the number 13, according to Velikovsky, is associated with the troubles that fell on the 13th day of the first month in Egypt. In Egyptian sources it is written that it was on this day that the heavenly battle took place. The Jews also had the 13th day of the first month Aviv. The Jews do not consider the 13th day to be unhappy, and it is clear why. The disaster was accompanied by a terrible hurricane, as evidenced by the sources of different peoples. The tidal wave, as you know, is largely associated with the impact of the Moon. Approaching the Earth, larger in volume than the Moon, should have affected the height of the tidal wave. In the writings of the Chinese, Indians, Peruvians, Laplacians, Indians of Oklahoma and Yucatan, it is said that the seas were torn apart. Their waters, raised to a great height, fell to the ground. In the Bible it is said about a wall standing at the bottom of the sea and water. In many areas of the globe, huge boulders were found, carried dozens of kilometers from their original location. It was believed that this was the work of glaciers, but how could glaciers carry boulders weighing tens of thousands of tons from the bottom to higher places? Velikovsky describes the myths of peoples of various countries about battles in the sky. He shows that there is the same picture in all the myths, similar to the battle of Zeus with the snake Typhon. In all the drawings, Chinese, Indian, Persian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Mexican, the same curved snake is depicted. The same image is present in the prophecies of Isaiah, the 8th century BC. Based on numerous ancient sources, Velikovsky describes the phenomena of great importance. Electric discharge between the head of a comet and the Earth, rain of meteorites and fire from the sky, low clouds of dust of unearthly origin and displaced sides of the light created the impression that the sky had collapsed. This was reported by the legends of ancient peoples of Mexico, Greece, China, Brazil. In the Bible, this is said in the song of Deborah. In the legends of the tribes of Samoa, Lapland, Eskimos, primitive tribes of Africa and the Finnish Kalevali, the sky that had collapsed is mentioned everywhere with horror. In all these sources, Velikovsky finds data that at the moment of the Earth's convergence with the comet, peaks in different parts of the world simultaneously began to glow with lava. He explains this by the fact that, like a tidal wave, the inner content of the globe rushed to the surface. Heat was also formed due to the violation of the rotation of the Earth. The hard surface melted and the sea boiled. On the pages of the Bible telling about the approach of the Jews to Mount Sinai, these events of a global catastrophe are very clearly described. The celestial body, which the great architect of nature brought closer to the Earth, interacted with it with electrical discharge. It retreated and came closer again, retreated and came closer again, writes Velikovsky. He brings extracts from Chinese history, in which he tells in detail about the global catastrophe during the time of Emperor Yao. All the details completely coincide with the description of the catastrophe in the Bible, in the Egyptian papyrus and in the sources of other peoples. Velikovsky dwells in detail on the data about the displaced sides of the world, about the altered polarity of the Earth. In the old comments to Talmud, it is mentioned that the sun changed its course four times within a few weeks between the sunrise and the day of receiving the Torah. Velikovsky quotes the Egyptian papyrus, known in science as the papyrus of Anastasios IV, which contains complaints about the darkness, about the absence of sunlight. Winter came instead of summer. Months turned back and the clock broke. Velikovsky finds similar information in other sources. The Chinese emperor Yao carried out a calendar reform. It should have been brought in accordance with the observations of the season, month and duration of the day. The Bible, in Ezra's 4th book, says that at the time when the Israelites left Egypt, the old order of the seasons ended and a new world began. To be continued...
