» IRNengineer - Mainstream opinions solicited.
Through an interest in astronomy and impacts I have stumbled onto sites relating to the theories of Victor Clube, PhD, Bill Napier, PhD and others regarding the simultaneous collapse of numerous settlements in the Middle East around 1200BCE and other catastrophic evidence at other times. The astronomy is good, archeological confirmation is reported, and there seem to be records, some cryptic, some not (e.g. the books of Exodus and Joshua).Is this viewpoint gaining any credence in professional circles or is this another Nemesis Affair?

In response to message posted by IRNengineer:It sounds very much like Immanuel Vellikovsky [sp?] revisited. You are probably too young! I remember his writings [Princeton, math] from the fifties. I doubt mainstream honors him even now. Catastrophism has come a long way but it has to toe the received party line of the scientific community to get a grudging hearing.

In response to message posted by oldjock39:Dear Sir(s) About Meteorites falling over the Earth and originating from the Tail Section of Passing Cometts is very intresting because most of thes fell when Civilisations came up around 200 BC and they recorede Comet-positions with their PROVENANCE of Starsigns and made:"SKY-Battle"stories out of it. dr Velikovsky merely COLLECTED existing evidence from Writers on History and the very Logo-graphers! So we could even TRACK down Meteorite Storms from known Cometts! This has been done in Professional writings not popularized yet by e.g. Prof GUNNAR HEINSOHN from the German University of Bremen.
