FICTION / MYTHOLOGYWill the past become our future? Is humankind
destined to repeat the events that occurred on another planet, far
away from Earth? Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling series, The Earth
Chronicles, provided humanity's side of the story--as recorded on
ancient clay tablets and other Sumerian artifacts--concerning our
origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, "those who from heaven to
earth came." In The Lost Book of Enki, we can view this saga from a
different perspective through this richly conceived
autobiographical account of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki god, who tells
the story of these extraterrestrials' arrival on Earth from the
12th planet, Nibiru. The object of their colonization: gold to
replenish the dying atmosphere of their home planet. Finding this
precious metal results in the Anunnaki creation of homo
sapiens--the human race--to mine this important resource. In his
previous works, Sitchin compiled the complete story of the
Anunnaki's impact on human civilization in peacetime and in war
from the fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian,
Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew
sources--the "myths" of all ancient peoples in the old world as
well as the new. Missing from these accounts, however, was the
perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their
own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth--and
what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of
a now lost book that formed the basis of ancient Sumerian texts
holding the answers to these questions, the author began his search
for evidence. Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he
has here re-created tales as the memoirs of Enki, the leader of
these first "astronauts." What takes shape is the story of a world
of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific
knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods
and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our
creation, our past, and our future. An eminent Orientalist and
Biblical scholar, ZECHARIA SITCHIN is distinguished by his ability
to translate ancient Sumerian and other ancient texts. He is a
graduate of the University of London and worked as a journalist and
editor in Israel for many years. He now lives and writes in New
York
