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.
"One of the most important books on Earth's roots ever
written."
*East West Journal*
"Sitchin is a zealous investigator into man's origins . . . a
dazzling performance."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"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*
"Read this book to see from a perspective not often offered. Read
it to expand your picture of our tiny existence. And beyond that,
just enjoy the theorizing and information provided. There are few
places that you can find such a compilation."
*News Worth World in Perspective, Oct 2007*
" . . . an array of evidence to support the assertion that the
earth had been visited by ancient alien astronauts in its past.
Sitchin based his conclusions on the written records of Sumer, the
"sudden civilization" that sprang up virtually overnight in the
Tigris-Euphrates Valley of modern Iraq."
*American Buddhist Journal, Feb 2009*
" . . . [supplies] an array of evidence to support the assertion
that the earth had been visited by ancient alien astronauts in its
past. Sitchin based his conclusions on the written records of
Sumer, the 'sudden civilization' that sprang up virtually overnight
in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of modern Iraq. . . . he found an
astonishing array of facts that could be corroborated by modern
research. What he found was literally mind boggling in 1976, and it
remains so today."
*Wisdom Quarterly: American Buddhist Journal, Feb 2009*
“Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and compelling. The
12th Planet presents documentation for a radical new theory which,
by answering some age-old questions, merely widens the ripples in
the pool. (As the author notes, “If the Nefilim . . . created Man
on Earth, who created the Nefilim?”)
*Library Journal*
“For thousands of years priests, poets, and scientists have tried
to explain how man was created. . . . Now a recognized scholar has
come forth with a theory that is the most astonishing of all.”
*United Press International*
