Velikovsky claimed that recent Venus–Mars–Earth near-encounters caused ancient catastrophes recorded in myths and texts; the listed scientific correctives do not support that mechanism.
The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
