Ages in Chaos
Book • 1952
Immanuel Velikovsky's "Ages in Chaos" is a controversial work of pseudohistory that proposes radical reinterpretations of ancient historical events and their relation to astronomical phenomena.
The book challenges conventional historical timelines and scientific understanding, suggesting catastrophic cosmic events shaped human history.
Velikovsky's theories have been widely criticized by mainstream scholars for their lack of scientific rigor and reliance on speculative interpretations.
Despite the criticism, the book remains a significant example of alternative historical narratives and continues to spark debate among enthusiasts and skeptics.
Its impact lies in its demonstration of how seemingly convincing arguments can be constructed without solid evidence.
