Immanuel Velikovsky Books

This is the first volume of the series Ages in Chaos, in which Immanuel Velikovsky undertakes a reconstruction of the history of antiquity. With utmost precision and the exciting style of a presentation that's typical for him he shows, beyond doubt, what nobody would consider possible: in the conventional history of Egypt - and therefore also of many neighboring cultures - a span of 600 years is described, which has never happened! This assertion is as unbelievable and outrageous as the assertions in Worlds in Collision or Earth in Upheaval. But Velikovsky takes us on a detailed and highly interesting journey through the - corrected - history and makes us a witness to how many question marks disappear, doubts vanish and corresponding facts from the entire Near East furnish a picture of overall conformity and correctness. You will meet an Egyptian eyewitness of the biblical plagues and the mysterious Queen of Sheba. You will find out to where her legendary visit led her. You will, moreover, learn surprising details about the temple of Solomon and learn who was behind its sacking. In the end you do not only wonder how conventional historiography has come into existence, but why it is still taught and published. Just as Velikovsky became the father of "neo-catastrophism" by Worlds in Collision, he became the father of "new chronology" by Ages in Chaos.

Focusing on Ramses II, Immanuel Velikovsky challenges traditional views of ancient history by placing this iconic pharaoh in the 7th century B.C., rather than the 13th century. He reveals Ramses II's conflict with Nebuchadnezzar and shares intriguing personal insights from the latter's autobiography. Velikovsky critiques established historical narratives, arguing that concepts like the Hittite Empire are fabrications. Additionally, he explores the implications of radiocarbon dating on historical chronology, offering a fresh perspective on the Bronze and Iron Ages.

The book explores the enduring legacy of Oedipus, a central figure in Greek mythology known for his tragic fate. It delves into the profound impact of his story on literature and psychology, particularly through Freud's interpretation. The narrative examines how Oedipus's tale has resonated through the ages, influencing countless writers and shaping cultural discussions around fate and identity.

Focusing on the campaigns of Alexander the Great, this volume connects revised and classical chronologies, completing Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient history. It is the second volume in terms of publication but serves as the final installment in the Ages in Chaos series. Each of its three independent parts contributes to its significance, making it accessible and engaging for readers, regardless of their familiarity with previous volumes.

After the publication of Worlds in Collision Immanuel Velikovsky was confronted with the argument that in the shape of the earth and in the flora and fauna there are no traces of the natural catastrophes he had described. Therefore a few years later he published Earth in Upheaval, which not only supports the historical documents by very impressive geological and paleontological material, but even arrives at the same conclusions just based on the testimony of stones and bones. Earth in Upheaval – a very exactly investigated and easily understandable book – contains material that completely revolutionizes our view of the history of the earth. For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the formation of mountains and oceans, the origin of coal or fossils, the question of the ice ages and the history of animal and plant species, Earth in Upheaval is a MUST-READ!

With this book Immanuel Velikovsky first presented the revolutionary results of his 10-year-long interdisciplinary research to the public, founded modern catastrophism - based on eyewitness reports by our ancestors - shook the doctrine of uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution, put our view of the history of our solar system, of the Earth and of humanity on a completely new basis - and caused an uproar that is still going on today. Worlds in Collision - written in a brilliant, easily understandable and entertaining style and full to the brim with precise information - can be considered one of the most important and most challenging books in the history of science. Not without reason was this book found open on Einstein's desk after his death. For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the history of mankind, traditions, religions, mythology or just the world as it is today, Worlds in Collision is an absolute must-read!

Velikovsky returns to his roots as a psychologist and psychoanalytical therapist, with humanity as a whole as his patient. After an extremely revealing overview of the foundations of the various psychoanalytical systems, he makes the step into crowd psychology and reopens the case of Worlds in Collision from a totally different point of view: as a psychoanalytical case study.

Radically reconstructs ancient history to reveal that Nebuchadnezzar's enemy, known as Necho, is in fact Ramses II and that the so-called Hittites are the Chaldeans

Challenging the traditional view of the Dark Age of Greece, this book argues that the perceived gap in history, spanning approximately 500 years from 1250 to 750 BC, is a result of the influence of ancient Egyptian chronology rather than an actual decline. It posits that Classicists have capitulated to this external authority, leading to a misinterpretation of historical continuity. This work serves as a critical piece in the reconstruction of ancient history, as proposed by Immanuel Velikovsky, and invites readers to reconsider established timelines and narratives.

The book offers an insider's perspective on the controversy surrounding Immanuel Velikovsky's groundbreaking work, Worlds in Collision. Through authentic letters, readers witness the intense backlash from prominent scientists and universities, including boycotts and campaigns aimed at discrediting Velikovsky. His responses to these attacks, often suppressed by major publications, highlight the clash between scientific authority and innovative ideas. This exploration is particularly relevant today, shedding light on the dynamics of science and its societal impact.

This book is a sequel (or better: a prequel) to Immanuel Velikovsky's main work, the best-selling Worlds in Collision, in which he gave a detailed reconstruction of two global natural catastrophes based on information handed down by our ancestors. He mentioned there that, as part of his intensive research, he found numerous indications of even more catastrophes that took place earlier in the history of mankind. In the present book, the material collected by Velikovksy about this topic is presented to the public for the first time. His findings show just how turbulent the history of Earth and our planetary system was during the time of mankind and how little we actually know of all that today.

First published in 1952, this volume is the first of six covering the period from the Exodus to Alexander the Great. It is based on Velikovsky's earlier work, "Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History," and precedes his other notable titles. This volume spans from the Exodus to Akhenaten, yet remains largely unfamiliar to biblical scholars and evangelists. Velikovsky's connections between biblical events and Near Eastern history often face skepticism, possibly due to past disillusionment with false claims and a misplaced trust in blind belief. His meticulous attention to detail and profound knowledge continue to inspire. Despite the emergence of lesser works, none have presented such a compelling case. Those interested in alternative chronologies would benefit from studying Velikovsky's works to save time. His exploration of the origins of various beliefs and the synchronisms he finds between the Old Testament and ancient history are groundbreaking. Had he published this volume before "Worlds in Collision," his influence might have been greater. Familiarity with his chronology suggests a future impact, as the prevailing pseudochronology, rooted in outdated beliefs, loses credibility. The resistance against Velikovsky's ideas raises questions, especially among those who have engaged with his works. Other recommended readings include titles by David Rohl, Peter James, Ryan and Pitman, Mary Settegast, and Robert Schoch.

Par quelle force inouïe des millions d'animaux et d'êtres humains ont-ils été réduits en morceaux et agglutinés dans des caves ? Pourquoi le pôle Nord était-il auparavant tropical ? Est-il exact que les pôles ont été inversés et que l'axe terrestre a été changé ? Pourquoi retrouve-t-on en Espagne des rochers qui proviennent des Alpes ? Dans ce livre unique, la suite logique de Mondes en Collision le Dr Immanuel Velikovsky prouve point par point que notre Terre a vécu des bouleversements d'une force inouïe, thèse que les géologues commencent simplement à reconnaître aujourd'hui. Combattu au moment de sa parution, le temps a donné raison aux Grands Bouleversements Terrestres devenu, depuis, un grand classique. Copié, plagié, mais jamais égalé, ce livre du Dr Velikovsky est le premier à avoir réussi à raconter la véritable histoire de notre planète.

In diesem Buch wird die radikalgeniale Rekonstruktion der Ägyptischen Geschichte vorgelegt.
