Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision", mooted this scenario LONG
before other authors did as far as I am aware. He has been dead for over
20 years. It was published around 1950, but I first read the book (And
Ages in Chaos) some time in the early 60's. The "experts" decried his
theories then, and do so even now, but his theories made great sense and I
have seen no better explanation since. He suggested an enormous collision
in the Gulf of Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsular. A TV documentary several
years back showed archaeologists proving this very thing by finding
evidence of the impact of a crater of enormous diameter, half in the Gulf,
half of it way inland. "Experts", I have found, are quite often wrong. Now
they speak of "their" theory as if Velikovsky had never written of it 50
plus years ago. How droll.
