In the Beginning, what really happened? This is an intriguing, 1960s coming-of-age tale of a young man's insightful vision far away into the future and long ago into the past. Have you ever wondered why the great pyramids and other ancient monoliths were built and who built them? They were weights strategically placed around the planet to change Earth's orbit enough over many millenniums to avoid an existence-ending, inescapable collision with an approaching asteroid streaking toward Earth, set to hit sometime in the mid-twenty-sixth century. A newly developed time travel procedure is put to use to send, back from that time, several, specially equipped teams to the biblical period of Genesis to place these huge weights and create enough of an annual, miniscule, elliptical imbalance in Earth's orbit to avoid the future catastrophic collision. This is the second book by Timothy Alan Witz. The first was a factual memoir of his youth. ".
