Another one to review:

Volcanoes, Earthquakes And The 3,600 Year Comet Cycle

In two previous articles, I proposed explanations for the events that triggered the Younger Dryas. In the article titled Did Earth Steal Martian Waters, I described how, ca.12,500 BP, an electric discharge may have transferred part of the Martian...

Also, very relevant for this thread:

The Seven Destructive Earth Passes of Comet Venus

In a previous article titled "Did Earth 'Steal' Martian Water?", I mentioned that a close encounter between Mars and Earth occurred ca. 12,500 BP (10,500 BC). Mars was knocked close to Earth by Venus which, at the time, was a cometary body. The...

Excellent research in that article, which does seem to suggest that Venus settled into its current orbit about 5000 years ago.

It also makes sense that when Venus was first captured by the Sun around 80,000 years ago, its orbit was likely extremely long and elliptical like a comet - and it decreased with each pass into the inner solar system.

One thing that may be different than what Pierre proposed in this article is the timing of the seven passes of Venus that the C's talked about. They confirmed that one of those was during the Younger Dryas, but also that the second destruction of Atlantis was caused by a close passage of Venus.

Which suggests that the seven passes of Venus the C's referred to did not all happen between 12,000 and 5000 years ago. Maybe the initial orbit of Venus after capturing was extremely huge, maybe tens of thousands of years and the orbit then decreased with each pass over the 80,000 years period.
