A heavyweight entry into the booming fictional-scholarship market
that traffics in Bermuda Triangles, gods from outer space, pyramid
power, and the like. The game is fill-in-the-gaps: where
professional knowledge stops and mysteries persist, the fearless
rush in with literal-minded, all-embracing explanations. Religion
and myth once held sway in this realm, but since their apparent
rout by scientific method, enterprising speculators have been
producing skeleton keys to unlock the ancient teachings' true
sense. Sitchin, a zealous private investigator into man's origins,
plays the game splendidly, making von Daniken look like a piker. A
clever writer, he's mastered the pretenses of scholarship: a crush
of evidential texts and pictures, obscure German sources,
translating coups, maps, charts, complex calculations, arcane
information, etc. His domain is the ancient Near East, the cradle
of civilization, and he claims to prove that Homo sapiens was
created there by ancient astronauts who first rocketed to earth
445,000 years ago from a twelfth planet, which orbits into our
universe every 3600 years. The Old Testament and other Near Eastern
texts provide the detailed codes for discovering how our universe
was constituted and how these "gods of Heaven and Earth,"
emissaries of the twelve planet-gods, recurrently visited earth and
caused such sudden bursts of advanced civilization as Sumer. As
preterite science fiction, it's a dazzling performance. (Kirkus
Reviews)
Over the years, startling evidence has been unearthed, challenging
established notions of the origins of Earth and life on it, and
suggesting the existence of a superior race of beings who once
inhabited our world. The product of thirty years of intensive
research, "The 12th Planet" is the first book in Zecharia Sitchin's
prophetic "Earth Chronicles" series--a revolutionary body of work
that offers indisputable documentary proof of humanity's
extraterrestrial forefathers. Travelers from the stars, they
arrived eons ago, and planted the genetic seed that would
ultimately blossom into a remarkable species...called Man.
"The 12th Planet" brings to life the Sumerian civilization,
presenting millennia-old evidence of the existence of Nibiru, the
home planet of the Anunnaki, and of the landings of the Anunnaki on
Earth every 3,600 years, and reveals a complete history of the
solar system as told by these early visitors from another planet.
Zecharia Sitchin's "Earth Chronicles" series, with millions of
copies sold worldwide, deal with the history and prehistory of
Earth and humankind. Each book in the series is based upon
information written on clay tablets by the ancient civilizations of
the Near East. The series is offered here, for the first time, in
highly readable, hardbound collector's editions with enhanced maps
and diagrams.
