Immanuel Velikovsky

    10. Juni 1895 – 17. November 1979

    Immanuel Velikovsky war ein unabhängiger Gelehrter, der für seine kontroversen Neuinterpretationen der antiken Geschichte bekannt war. Er nutzte vergleichende Mythologie und antike literarische Quellen, um zu postulieren, dass die Erde in der Antike katastrophale Begegnungen mit anderen Planeten erlebte. Obwohl seine Theorien von der akademischen Welt stark abgelehnt wurden, fanden seine Bücher beim Publikum großen Anklang und lösten erhebliche Debatten aus.

      Ages in Chaos IV

      The Dark Age of Greece

      • 530 Seiten
      • 19 Lesestunden

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Wer kennt ihn nicht: Ödipus, die tragische Gestalt der griechischen Mythologie, dessen unfassbares Schicksal so viele Generationen bewegt, Schriftsteller inspiriert und über Sigmund Freud sogar Eingang in die moderne Psychologie gefunden hat! Wäre es denkbar, dass diese Figur und ihr Schicksal keine Erfindung menschlicher Phantasie, sondern die Umsetzung tatsächlicher historischer Geschehnisse ist? Diese Frage stellt Immanuel Velikovsky in dem vorliegenden Buch und nimmt den Leser mit zu einer unvergleichlichen detektivischen Ermittlungsarbeit von grösster Spannung, atemberaubenden Überraschungen und Erkenntnissen, einer akribischen Spurensuche und einem Ergebnis, das noch unglaublicher erscheint als die ursprüngliche Sage selbst. Ausgerechnet die ägyptische Pharaonenfamilie, die heute den grössten Bekanntheitsgrad hat - Echnaton mit seiner Frau Nofretete und seinem Sohn Tutanchamun - werden von Velikovsky als die realen Protagonisten der Ödipus-Sage entlarvt.

      Memoiren zu Welten im Zusammenstoss

      In diesem Buch erzählt Immanuel Velikovsky in seinem unverwechselbaren klaren und eingängigen Sprachstil von der Entstehung seines epochalen Werks „Welten im Zusammenstoss“ und den Reaktionen auf seine Veröffentlichung. Wir erleben hier aus erster Hand anhand von authentischem Briefmaterial den Beginn und weiteren Verlauf der „Velikovsky-Affäre“, den Boykott seines Verlegers durch hochrangige amerikanische Wissenschaftler und Universitäten, die unsachliche und höchst unwissenschaftliche Diskreditierungskampagne gegen ihn und seine Bücher und bekommen auch Velikovskys Erwiderungen auf die Angriffe und Vorwürfe zu lesen, deren Veröffentlichung meist von den entsprechenden Zeitschriften und Magazinen abgelehnt wurde. Dieses Buch ist gerade heute, wo die Macht und der gesellschaftliche Einfluss der Wissenschaft um ein Vielfaches gewachsen ist, von fundamentaler Bedeutung für unser Verständnis von Wissenschaft und den Wissenschaftlern.
