Figures 49 and 50, dealing with the Oronteus ... also reasonable, as Hapgood is careful to document the degraded state of map making skills in existence since Classical times. Hapgood's Maps of The Ancient Sea Kings contains many excellent anomalies, pertinent to the history of civilization and the earth sciences.

22. Thorium Enrichment in Crater Rims: Earth and Moon [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Imbrium impact originally excavated the Moon's surface to about 100 km, which later rebounded to the present level. [7 ] That two such different craters have the same anomalous rim composition is a puzzle. Even on the Moon, the thorium question isn't as simple as it seemed at first.

But when similar anomalies are found in a tiny crater in Australia, it's time to explore other explanations; explanations that could fit both the anomalies on Earth and those on the Moon. ...

... does handle without introducing a host of ad hoc solutions. In reality, it is the established chronology which raises more of these problems than it solves.

The suggestion reprinted here, though non-Velikovskian ... Earth and Mars are secondary, having been acquired by the degassing of the interior after the loss of the original gas envelope. The hypotheses proposed to account for this striking anomaly are distinctly unconvincing [2 , 3]. Nor do they attempt to account for the slow retrograde spin of Venus.

... the past are radically changed. The key is to follow the anomaly. For example: perhaps you begin to notice that a variety of mythical themes all point to an anomalous conclusion about the past- say, the planet Venus' former cometary identity (first discerned by Velikovsky). You begin to wonder if Venus' recurring identity as ... uncharted territory. And if the excursion has any sane and rational justification, then the ground-rules for study of the past are radically changed. The key is to follow the anomaly.

28. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... in Collision, Velikovsky noted many tales of disaster and upheaval in which the agent of destruction possesses cometary attributes, even as it is identified with the planet Venus.
