Tellinger reveals how numerous, 200,000-year-old sites in South Africa perfectly match Sumerian descriptions of Abzu, the land of the First People - including the vast gold-mining operations of the Anunnaki from the 12th planet, Nibiru and the city of Anunnaki leader Enki. With aerial photographs, Tellinger shows how the extensive stone circle and road complexes are laid out according to the principles of sacred geometry and represent the remains of Tesla-like technology used to generate energy and carve immensely long tunnels straight into the Earth in search of gold - tunnels that still exist and whose origins had been a mystery until now. He reveals, with photographic evidence, that the human civilisation spawned by the Anunnaki was the first to create many totems of ancient Egypt, such as the Horus bird, the Sphinx, the Ankh and large pyramids, as well as construct an accurate stone calendar, at the heart of their civilisation, aligned with the Orion constellation. He explores how their petroglyphs, carved into the hardest rock, are nearly identical to the hieroglyphs of Sumerian seals. Mapping thousands of square miles of continuous settlements and three urban centres - each one larger than modern-day Los Angeles - Tellinger provides the physical proof of Zecharia Sitchin's theories on the Anunnaki origins of humanity. . Includes more than 250 original full-colour photographs of South Africa's circular stone ruins, ancient roads, prehistoric mines, large pyramids and the first Sphinx .
