I would also be interested in seeing how they attemt to explain why the planets are in far orbits.
As far as multiple cultures having similarities in their lore goes, well remember, it is threorized we all migrated out of Africa back in the day. Before we all spread out, there had to be a common belief. This beliefe had to be shared. People feared the unexplained and tried to attribute them to Gods. Some they feared, some were created to justify desires. Monotheism only came to light about 6000 years ago.

Hi skrap1r0n,
The entire subject concerns (essentially, in my view) the interpretation of ancient myths with respect to the present-day understanding of astronomy/cosmology and human-kinds' reactions to past world-wide calamities etc (but also contained and engendered within the human psyche, for just one example).
Interesting, for sure.
However, the book/s are yet to be published.
What you read was a somewhat condensed version of just a few chapters.
As I have mentioned to the BA on several occasions, this could be in a sense the works of present-day Velikovskianism, but not necessarily endorsing the entire theory per se (and I do in fact know this is not the case, but certainly the late Velikovsky was the inspirational motivator, of years past)
In essence, the book/s are basically an "electrical" theory of the cosmos (as opposed to the currently accepted and dominant "gravitational" theory/understanding)
Anyway, following publication (sometime this year I think), I for one look forward to comments on this site, particularly from the BA, TT and of course anyone else, including yourself!
Cheers
John T
