I am very pleased with my order. The book was in excellent condition and was swiftly delivered.

Thanks!

Great intellectual entrance and powerful finale. A perfect blend of history, spatial science, mythology with parapsychology. A treasure in ink!. Buy it!

A perfect blend of mystical inquisition blended with science, an archeological flair and ironic history. You have the gods, the Genesis, the unknown, the extraterrestrials and religion, all parading before your eyes, to assemble, explore and dismiss. A most exciting book. Everything is possible under the tent of Dr. Sitchin!

Read it with all the Earth Cronicles written by Mr. Sitchin, is one of the best thing Ihave read in my life. For all of us interested in the origen of life and the history of our planet as well as the solar system, it has to much information and all are extremely important, that we have to read it many times. I love it!!!!

Semitic language scholar "places in context the tales of the pre-diluvial Enoch and the post-diluvial prophet Elijah," who were both taken up to 'heaven' without dying, as he states in his 2006 forward of this 1980 classic of alternate ancient history. He also continues to tie in the Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh to his scholarly reading of ancient history, which involves interaction of ancient astronauts from the twelfth solar planet, Nibiru, with emerging Homo Sapiens. He ties the actions of Alexander of Macedon and Gilgamesh to the beliefs of ancient Egyptians Pharoahs who took the stairway of the gods to immortality on the planet Nibiru, which has a vastly longer life-cycle than Earth. His discussion of the search for the true Mt. Sinai, from which God spoke to the Israelites, and of the frauds perpetuated in the story of the Great Pyramid may be more than the casual reader wants to know about these topics. However, the information has held up over time. A valuable addition to the series. Excellent for Bible scholars or teachers/scholars of ancient history. Suggests many plausible answers to vague or confusing translations and myths.

Besides loving the contents, of this book. I have decided to purchase the complete chronicle series.

The book came to my surprise brand New! Thank You Amazon!

I have read Sitchin's first work, the 12th planet, which lead me to this one. And it is an amazing read. Sitchin presents evidence one by one, tells you various stories and myths, and in light of the scientific knowledge we now have, provides the reader with a new "perhaps it was" explanation.

Recommended it to everyone I know

Sitchin's works are my mantra of meaning to this life. I have readed everything he has written and await his newest as I paid for it three months before it's release

Another great book by Zachariah Sitchen, I have read all eight books of his Earth chronicles and they are all very mind boggling.

In this second entry in the Earth Chronicles series, Sitchin focuses on man's eternal and perpetual search for immortality and ties his findings in with his theories of ancient Sumer and the Annunaki who originally colonized earth. In particular, he discusses Alexander the Great's desperate search for a way to escape an early death as well as Gilgamesh's epic search for everlasting life; more importantly, he provides a map of their quests, identifying their most important destinations with the ancient Sumerian sites he wrote about in The 12th Planet. Basically, the ultimate destinations of the men of legend corresponded to the areas from which the Annunaki journeyed back and forth between earth, their orbiting spacecraft, and their home planet. Having described an intricate grid system accounting for the specific locations of the ancient cities both before and after the Deluge, he makes some fascinating arguments. I was most struck by his conclusion that the new, post-Deluge space port was actually Jerusalem. As always, Sitchin incorporates Biblical texts into his story, revealing compelling connections between the books of the Bible and the ancient records of the earliest Middle Eastern cultures.

I found myself plodding to some degree through the first half of the book, even laying the book aside for a few days, but the latter sections here are quite interesting because they focus on ancient Egypt. Sitchin's discussions of the ancient Egyptian monuments, particularly the Great Pyramids at Giza are enlightening and fascinating. He forcibly argues that the pyramids were never meant to serve as burial places of ancient Egyptians and that the Great Pyramids and the majestic Sphinx were built long before Khufu, Chefren, and other pharaohs of the 4th Dynasty came to power. Egyptologists dispute this conclusion, of course, but the evidence as presented by Sitchin and other scholars is quite strong on this point. Sitchin lays waste to the only real evidence we have that Khufu built the Great Pyramid. The masons' markings found in the chambers above the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid purportedly show that Khufu was the builder, but Sitchin puts forth a very convincing argument that those marks were forged (and rather unconvincingly in fact) by an unscrupulous pseudo-archaeologist.

I try to read these books with an open mind. I can't say if Sitchin is correct or not in his theories, but I can say that he breathes life into an ancient world I would otherwise know very little about, and he tells a fascinating story in a very engaging manner.
