Thats a good theory Venus vs. Comet. It would explain alot of tales about the interaction; except: "Venus was visible in full daylight and, while
moving across the sky, rivaled the sun in brightness."

Uranus also has a retrograde rotation. (Although its almost rotating on its side with respect to its orbit).
Venus itself takes longer to rotate around its own axis than it does to orbit around the sun,Makes for a rather long solar day, if you could see through the clouds that is.

I dont see how anyone can just say "no" to this question.

That Venus is the planet that has always orbited the sun in its current position? Or ... that happened to get dragged into the solar system, destroyed the planet that previously orbited the sun between Mercury and Earth (so completely that all traces have disappeared)

"The researchers were astounded when they saw the image of Uranus transmitted by Voyager Two in the January of 1986. The Sumerian description of the planet - mash.sig - meaning "bright greenish"- almost matched the greenish blue picture of Uranus on his TV screen. Sitchin's translation of the Sumerian expression "hum.ba" read: "marsh plants." He believes it indicates the presence of hot semi-liquid material that was discovered on Neptune three years later. The Sumerian regarded Uranus as Neptune's twin brother. Data gathered by the probe seemed to confirm the point. Not unlike Uranus, Neptune's color is bright blue, the planet has a strong magnetic field, a hot semi-liquid core and plenty of water."

The Dogon tribe of West Africa believes that the starting point of creation is a star that revolves around Sirius and is known as the 'Digitaria star'. Their understanding is that this star is small, but heavy, and contains the building elements of creation."
"How can an isolated tribe, a people with no written history, have scientific information concerning stars light years away that astronomers are just confirming today?"

The Vedas said that the star Venus looks like fire with smoke. The star had a tail, dark in the daytime and luminous at night.
This luminous tail, which Venus had in earlier centuries, is mentioned in the Talmud `Fire as hanging down from the planet Venus. Described by the Chaldeans the planet Venus `was said to have a beard. "Beard" is used in modern astronomy in the description of comets.
The Mexicans called a comet `a star that smoked. What was the illusion of the ancient Toltecs and Mayas? What was the phenomenon and what was its cause? A train, large enough to be visible from the earth and giving the impression of smoke and fire, hung from the planet Venus. Venus, with its glowing train, was a very brilliant body; therefore not strange that the Chaldeans described it as a `bright torch of heaven. Illuminates like the sun,' and compared with the light of the rising sun.
could well have been some form of atmospheric anomaly at the time as well,
