Summary: Good.
Review: a work that delighfully pries open rigid brain cells, stimulates them to expand marvelous new synapses and leaves the reader brimming with revolutionary ideas.Unusual, unique, elegantly researched but hope-filled theorized notions that will rock your world. Sitchin takes you into the outer limits and you become the better for it. Very entertaining reading.

Summary: Excellent book by a very intelligent man
Review: Genisis Revisited and The 12th Planet are very scholarly works. Anyone who has studied Geology and found anomolies that didn't make sense, will find a key to why Sitchin says what he does, because we all aren't versed in ancient languages like he is, it should lead to other reading for the curious. To follow this line of thinking, do read The Hidden History of Human Ancestory, or author Charles Happgood, and a few others. Excellent for those not stuck in a cave.

Summary: Good.
Review: Here is something you don't see every day, a Christian who beleives in alien life, UFO's, Conspiracy throries and the possibility that maybe we've misinterpreted the Bible all these years! I do beleive in God and I do beleive in Jesus, but Mr. Sitchins works are simply too hard to ignore. it IS a fact the creation account of Genesis, the Flood account and the tower of Babel and other accounts in Genesis are downsized versions (abridged) of their ancenstors accounts from Meopotamia. It's foolish to assume that all of the ancient myths are just sroies for fantasy and not early mans attempt at jouranalistic reporting. Sitchin also proves what Chritians have been saying for years, THERE IS SCIENCE IN THE BIBLE!!!!!!!! While the very validity of evolution is coming into question by an alarmingly growing number of scientists nowadays (most of whome have no religious loyalties by the way) portions of Sitchins works may be discredited, but it is still a worthwhile read.

Summary: Genesis Revisited: Next Stop--Nabiru.
Review: I am an amateur astronomer, so I was very interested as well as concerned when I first started to read this book. To start off, I agree with the premise we are not the only beings out there, (or even within our solar system). But, his knowledge of Ancient Sumerian does nothing for his astronomy. For one thing,Uranus & Neptune & Pluto & Charon(Plutos moon-oh yes, it has one) are not made of H2O, but of Methane, Ammonia & other very toxic gases. Uranus was indeed known in ancient times, & there is the possibility its phases (like Venus) were viewed. There are several Egyptian & Babylonian & Greek & Chinese astronomy charts that show it moving across the sky, although in some cultures it was not thought of as a planet. After all, there was no such thing as our infamous-- Light Pollution. The other idea of Nabiru being twice the orbit of Pluto, & the planet not only being there, but viable for life, is unlikely in the extreme. Although, as Pioneer I & II and Voyager I & II showed, truth is usually stranger than fiction. He does though save his best for last, especially his comments on the unusual features of Mars. I truly wish it would show ancient pyramids with compounds of jet fighters & all sorts of alien apparatus & the Face! My lord, what a Face! This book is a little outdated, as the real Face showed up recently under the Mars Surveyor. It did not look like anyone I would care to know. But all in all, what he does do is get a lot of people excited to start looking into astronomy,(NASA has a great web site by the way, and you can download lots of incredible pictures, from Hubble and others) religion & our past. That is not a bad thing. And it is interesting, that the further into the past we go, the more advanced mankind was. Like many readers I am sure, it was difficult to put down. One piece of advice, he is so enthusiastic about his subject, and the reader can get very carried away, so .... keep your head. As one famous British Astronomer is reported to have stated, Every self-respecting Alien, should turn left at Pluto and keep right on going.

Summary: Provocative, to say the least...
Review: I've read all of the Sitchin Earth Chronicles titles plus this one. Conclusion? Whatever one's opinion of the "ancient astronaut" craze, Sitchin is certainly above average in scholarship. His work makes for fascinating reading, and although I have serious reservations about his conclusions(we still have no compelling evidence that extraterrestrials have ever visited this planet or that man's evolution was "tinkered with" by aliens), I do enjoy his style. I recommend Sitchin to the curious who have a strong background in science and history.

Summary: GENESIS REVISITED
Review: In Sitchin's books he links the Annunaki with Biblical events, I'm not saying I believe him 100%, but he does make fun and interesting books to read.
Rating: 
Summary: Very low level of intelligence
Review: The author pretend to prove that the ancients had better scientific knowledge - genetics and atomic energy and space travel - than us modern human beings. Just think...can that be? Can it be that people who travelled around on donkeys and camels, believed that the earth was a flat piece of land supported by demons or gods, lived in huts made of mud and reed, used alligator dung as medicines...knew space travel and genetic engineering? Sitchin caters to a small group (but numerically large) of people who eat up such theories and keep his bank account in good condition. Pity.

Summary: Genesis Revisited
Review: This man doesn't just want to sell books; he's on a lifelong quest for the truth that he's willing to share with us. He's is the unique position to do this because of his intellect, his education and his cultural backround. The Bible is so full of riddles that it provides more questions than answers. In Genesis Revisited, Zecharia Sitchin asks the right questions and puts the pieces of the puzzle together in a way that makes more sense than anything I've come across in my life with respect to the Bible.

Summary: REPLY to shankar from singapore
Review: Very low level of intelligence? Pity? Just because something is unknown does not mean it is impossible. People who first said the Earth was not flat were ridiculed. Do your own research. Do not stop with Sitchin, read others (Drunvalo Melchizedek, Doreal). Keep an open mind. Or, play it safe and follow mainstream - ignorance after all IS bliss!
Rating:
Summary: 5 for thought provoking
Review: You've read the orthodox, conventional, sanitized view of the past. Now read linguist and scholar Zecharia Sitchin for the rest of the story. Only he provides a framework in which all becomes intelligible.
