If you remember the meteor that exploded in the air over a Russia town. It was news for a while. Today, who remembers that?
In old times it was easier to remember catastrophes because there was not much information entering and storage in our brains. Even so, the daily routines make them forget what they experienced. However, some political or religious leader decided to commemorate that event and the event became tradition. Tradition later became drink and party. We humans are really weird creatures, lol.
I wonder is Stwart Talbot might be interested in certain discoveries that are a follow up of the work of Velikovsky. You know, the more you research about the work of Immanuel, the more, let's call it evidence, appears and supports his initiatives.
