Abstract:
The primary idea on which this and my previous books, Firmament and Chaos, are based, is that the sacred myths of all ancient cultures were written for the single purpose of describing close encounters of Mars, Venus and Mercury with the Earth. Indeed, this planetary chaos has been the preeminent factor in shaping the Earth, the planets, mankind and his religions in the last 6,000 years. In Peleh, I also investigate the question: How could hundreds of such close encounters have possibly been hidden from the entire human race? A clue to the answer lies in the following scripture: (Prov 25:2 KJV) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
