Here's a little trip I like to take beyond Velikovsky, impossible without him, but needing recognition of the Hollow Earth.
I wrote this earlier today:
If you will; the rocky crust of this hollow planet has two contrasting major characteristic signatures. Sea floor spreading zones of mainly basaltic lavas, overlaid with usually a thin mineral layer of volcanic ash with an angular ridge and rill patterning, and older continental crusts featuring more metamorphic rock and more random folding and faulting. The difference is noticeable, and this has given rise to the notion of continental drift and plate tectonics. What is missed, in the vision of a solid planet, where the continents are imagined to be floating around, is that there is an obvious difference in the ages of the two zone types. In stead of seeing that the continents were once all in one place, stuck together, and the rest was some giant ocean, with a hollow planet model, it can be seen that the sea floor spreading zones came in later and moved the parts of the original terrestrial crusts apart by way of upwelling basaltic lavas, directly from the molten strata below.
What would have driven such a change? My guess is extraterrestrial waters, encountered in Earth's path, the origins of which are up for speculation, though, thanks to Immanuel Velikovsky's investigations and interdisciplinary vision, I believe they were due to a nova of what was once called, "Helios," and later, "Kronos," or, "Saturn," recognizing it as a failed sun/star. The name, "Helios," in our current epoch, became associated with our present sun.
When this crusty bubble of a hollow planet received the massive flood waters, much as we are told in Genesis, the waters were said to rise for 150 days, and subside for 150 days. When the Earth, while having been dislodged from its orbit of Helios/Kronos/Saturn, went into a new orbit around Helios/Sol/the sun, in the midsts of the water cloud from the hydrogen flair/nova, from the combining of hydrogen and oxygen, and the gained waters (possibly salt waters) created a globally flooded world. The hollow planet, carrying the added fluid mass, had its crusts fracture via the abruptly added centrifugal forces of rotation, and there was a sudden massive exposure of the molten stratas which were immediately quenched by the immense waters.
It's interesting to note that it has been determined by space probes that the rings of Saturn are mostly ice. Why would this gas giant have water in orbit around it?
Some of the continental masses remained submerged; Lemuria/Mu in the Southwestern Pacific, and a split in two Atlantis, in the Sargasso Sea and outside Gibraltar, where Solon and Plato told us it was. These areas do not show the sea floor spreading topographies, but rather, are buried deeply in organic and diatomaceous oozes, as in the Sargasso, or are of the very typical continental topographies, as in much of the South Pacific's South Sea Islands area.
If we take the globe and subtract the areas of the spreading zones, we come to a smaller spheroid of the older crusts of a rocky planet, mostly devoid of major oceans. The metamorphic rocky crusts were made by the slow upwelling the basaltic lavas, slowly melting their way through old rock, moving as if in those old lava lamps, mixing the minerals over extensive eons of slow motion. The difference between such metamorphic crusts and the raw basalts of the sea beds, or those of the Columbia Plateau (a unique formation on Earth where the magma sheets erupted above the level of the seas and were not hydraulically quenched), is hard to miss. One type happened extremely slowly, and the other, extremely quickly, not to mention, quite recently, in geological terms.
So, there you have something to ponder for a bit. We can consider that the solid planet might have long been its present size, and Gondwanaland somehow broke up and quietly floated around on smooth sea floors (which are far from smooth), or, that this hollow planet took on so much added mass in the form of water that its crusts fractured under the stresses and newer basaltic crusts formed in the expansion, forcing the old continental masses apart and a lowering of temporary peak sea levels in the process. Another thing to think about, if there has, in fact, been a flood that over-topped the mountains, as told in so many traditions around the world, on a solid Earth, the waters would still be up there and we'd be breathing with gills. Only on a hollow planet could the waters recede, via expansion of the sphere, unless gravity failed and the waters left (but then, everything else would have gone along too).
With certain spreading signatures, such as the where the Galapagos Rise and Fracture Zone seems to have shifted the structure of an older East Pacific Rise in later epochs, it seems apparent that there have been subsequent spreading epochs of lesser magnitudes than that of the Saturn nova, or Noah, Flooding. These that happened later were probably due to crustal movements in association with the Venus and Mars encounters that figure so prominently in Worlds In Collision. There is much evidence of a sudden sea level drop of 50 feet which I date to roughly 3500 years ago, associated with the disappearance of the Red Paint People of the North Atlantic coasts from North America, all the way around to the Portuguese coast (when all the waters "turned to blood").
