Pliny’s Natural History, reads:
“A terrible comet was seen by the people of Ethiopia and Egypt, to which Typhon, the king of that period, gave his name; it had a fiery appearance and was twisted like a coil, and it was very grim to behold; it was not really a star so much as what it might be called a ball of fire.” A time no more distant perhaps than 3,500 years ago.
Caius Julius Solinus wrote of the Egyptians:
‘The inhabitants of this country say that they have it from their ancestors that the sun now sets where it formerly rose,’
Quote from Pomponius Mela, a Latin author of the first century:
“The Egyptians pride themselves on being the most ancient people in the world. In their authentic annals … one may read that since they have been in existence, the course of the stars has changed direction four times, and that the sun has set twice in that part of the sky where it rises today.”
In Tractate Sanhedrin of the Talmud it is said:
‘Seven days before the deluge, the Holy One changed the primeval order and the sun rose in the west and set in the east.
The Aztecs Indians Related:
‘There had been no sun in existence for many years ..[The Chiefs] began to peer through the gloom in all directions for the expected sight, and to make bets as to what part of heaven [the sun] should first appear … but when the sun rose, they were all proved wrong, for not one of them had fixed upon the east.’
Quote from a Hopi Elder:
“Nature and the spirit of our ancestors are giving you loud warnings. Today you see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophecies said would come. Why do animals act like they know about the earth’s problems and most humans act like they know nothing? If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed.” -Thomas Banyacya, HOPI Nation address to United Nations, December 10th, 1992

At the time of the miracle is said to have happened that the sun during a span of ten days did not set, the forests were ignited, and a multitude of abominable vermin was brought forth.’In the lifetime of Yao [Yahou] the sun did not set for full ten days and the entire land was flooded.’ [Worlds in Collision, p.114]
Immanuel Velikovsky [Worlds in Collision, p.120]
The real meaning of ‘the irrational orientation of the southern panel’ and the ‘reversed position of Orion’ appears to be this: the southern panel shows the sky of Egypt as it was before the celestial sphere
interchanged north and south, east and west. The northern panel shows the sky of Egypt as it was on some night of the year in the time of Senmut.
Plato
Plato wrote in his dialogue, The Statesman (Politicus): ‘I mean the change in the rising and the setting of the sun and the other heavenly bodies, how in those times they used to set in the quarter where they now rise, and they used to rise where they now set..’
