Velikovsky's at the time groundbreaking and important analysis of possible reasons why our chronology of the ancient middle east might be as much as 500 years out of sync with what we have been able to establish. As a useful thought exercise in reviewing what we know and theorize, Ages in Chaos was an important publication that, for better or worse, kicked off a little revolution in questioning established theory, which is tremendously useful...to a degree.
