East & West
"Our planet rotates from west to east. Has it always done so? In this rotation from west to east, the sun is seen to rise in the east and set in the west. Was the east the primeval and only place of the sunrise? There is testimony from all parts of the world that the side which is now turned toward the evening once faced the morning. Curiously enough, the cause of such perturbation is revealed in beliefs like that of the people of Flanders in Belgium. where the peasants say, on seeing a comet: ‘The sky is going to fall; the earth is turning over!'" - Immanuel Velikovsky (1950)

I wrote a comment before signing in, but it has now disappeared? and as time is of the essence, I won't try to repeat it, enough to say, Velikovsky wrote some very interesting stuff that I read back in the early sixties.
