Immanuel Velikovsky: The Genesis of Our Solar System and the World of Myths is a documentary exploring the controversial and influential ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky, whose work bridged mythology, astronomy, and the history of science.

Velikovsky is best known for his 1950 book Worlds in Collision, in which he proposed that ancient planetary catastrophes may have shaped both the solar system and human history. Drawing from myths, religious texts, and historical records across cultures, he argued that collective memory preserved traces of cosmic events such as planetary encounters, celestial upheavals, and global disasters.

This documentary examines Velikovsky’s theories in their historical context, exploring why they challenged the scientific consensus of their time and why they continue to provoke debate today. Rather than presenting definitive answers, the film investigates the tension between established scientific models and alternative interpretations of cosmic history.

By revisiting Velikovsky’s ideas, the documentary invites viewers to reflect on how science evolves, how paradigms shift, and how myth, memory, and observation may intersect in humanity’s attempt to understand the origins of the solar system and our place within it.
