Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) was born in Russia and grew up in
Palestine, where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and
ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European languages, the Old
Testament, and the history and archaeology of the Near East. A
graduate of the University of London with a degree in economic
history, he worked as a journalist and editor for many years prior
to undertaking his life’s work--The Earth Chronicles.
One of the few scholars able to read the clay tablets and interpret
ancient Sumerian and Akkadian, Sitchin based The Earth Chronicles
series on the texts and pictorial evidence recorded by the ancient
civilizations of the Near East. His books have been widely
translated, reprinted in paperback editions, converted to Braille
for the blind, and featured on radio and television programs.
"Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and
compelling."
*Library Journal*
"Sitchin's works are outstandingly different from all others that
present this central theme. His linguistic skills in the languages
of antiquity and his pursuit of the earliest available texts and
artifacts make possible the wealth of photographs and line drawings
appearing in his books from tablets, monuments, murals, pottery,
and seals."
*Rosemary Decker, historian and researcher*
"Sitchin is a zealous investigator into man's origins . . . a
dazzling performance."
*Kirkus Reviews*
“Compelling.”
*Booklist*
“Sitchin’s book is nothing less than a sensation. . . . a sober and
erudite work, profound in its implications and obviously the
outcome of painstaking, perceptive research into the texts of past
ages. As such, it is sincere and convincing.”
*Worcester Evening News*
