Yes, I saw Frances Leader's post about her site, so I checked it out. I saw that she favors some Electric Universe ideas and she seems to buy Sitchin's take on ancient myths, which I'm sure is greatly misguided, as he has greatly misinterpreted the Sumerian tablets etc. Richard Hoagland used to say that Sitchin was a Mossad agent, I believe, which wouldn't surprise me. He's got lots of followers looking for a nonexistent Nibiru. Talbott and Cardona et al have a much better grasp of ancient myths than anyone else, IMO. And that's partly due to their method of comparative mythology, comparing myths of different cultures with each other. Velikovsky initiated the work and they greatly improved on it. However, they had their shortcomings too, which I think I'm improving on quite a lot by including the findings of Creationists ("young Earth"), as well as other mavericks like Mike Fischer at NewGeology.us and Charles Chandler. Charles has the best explanation of the Electric Universe. And that reminds me, I need to include their websites in my Bibliography. By the way, here's another site that follows Sitchin's ideas: http://www.mesopotamiangods.com/anu/ . What I like about it is the many images of Sumerian tablets etc. PS, I don't think there's much of anything that's right in Ages in Chaos.
