Summary: Everything Old Is New Again
Review: I happened to meet the author at an expo in NY before I ever read his books; what a shame, the questions I would have asked! Anyhow, these books belong in any thinking person's library because they go to the fundamental questions of "Who are we?" and "How did we get here?" The scholarship is top notch. The hypothesis is very convincing. The worst thing is that you will come away with a lot more knowledge than you had before you began reading the series. But who created the Annunuki? That is the question!

Summary: My perspective on the universe has been fundamentally change
Review: I have always felt that we have never been told the true history of the earth. Sitchin's ideas seem to explain many unanswered questions. Directed panspermia makes more sense than all the other theories of creation. Best of all, we don't have to stop believing in God!

Summary: It makes you wonder
Review: I have to admit at first i was sceptic, but i like to think about myself as an open minded individual so i read it. I couldn't put the book down. Granted some of Mr. Sitchin's ideas are to say the least, provocative, but what if he's right? If you are religious individual it will make you reread the bible time and time again searching for the things he talks about, and if your are not it will make you pick up a the bible and do the same thing. In any case it was and still is a good book, as are all the Earth Chronicle books.

Summary: Sitchin is an asstounding prophet!
Review: I wonder why Sitchin doesn't mention the pink unicorns living in present day Cuba, which we all know devoloped from the primitive, beige, seed unicorns left in Antarctica by the friendly space people all those years ago. They escaped from there, of course, when the giant ice sheet broke free and flooded the earth. Before that, as anyone with half a brain knows, they were the draft animals of choice on the 12th planet. And unfortunately for you and me, but fortunately for Sitchin, there are quite a few folks wandering around today with only half a brain. His books are instructive as landmarks on how gullible the human race can be. They can be read as dark comedys on what suckers we are. Sitchin, his disciples, and many others, almost constitute a kind of scientific evidence, in and of themselves. Mankind is still extremely gullible; we have yet to train our overlarge primate brains against self-delusion. We still often tend to fall for wishful fantasies, when reality and truth are our goals. Sitchin, etc. are examples that we as a species still have a long way to go. But let us each, at least hope that mankind may one day be a bit more rational and less delusional; some time in the future.

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: Could be true
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.

Summary: Indeed it does make you wonder.
Review: Indeed it does make you wonder. It makes you wonder how, in 1999, people can waste their money on this trash that insults the intelligence.

Summary: finally ! some light at the end of the tunnel.
Review: Its like an oasis in the middle of the desert.
A refreshing,enthusiastic and enlightning book that quenches the inquisitive mind .
Zecharia Sitching is an author of greate valor who has deared to take the reader of his books in a journy into an ancient and new world. Removing in the process the vail that may have been covering the truth for a very long time. A very risky schollary work of inmense magnitud that makes you ponder down to the very core of our own existens and spiritualism. Therefore it must be read with an open mind .

Summary: reality requestioned?
Review: Reading Sitchkin's book, for me, has been an incredible experience, forcing me to deal with the aftermath of the book's inevitable effect: "why not?" Is Sitchkin's theory any more or less viable than the big bang, than evolutionary anthropology, than astro physics, than any number of a string of scientific fields that claim legitimacy? But according to whose standards and whose understanding of the Real? I have just as much knowledge of modern astronomy as I do of ancient sumeria, which is to say next to none. Therefore, I am forced to reckon with my own inability to proclaim either modern science OR sitchkin crazy. If I am going to accept one, I must question why or why not I choose to accept (or reject) the other.This is the incredible force of his book. Reality, history, science, all marvelously thrown into question with the construction of a story that fits all the pieces together, seemlessly even, and makes us wonder why this story, for some unexplicable reason is any less legitimate. that, is reality requestioned. and for anyone interested, I personally recommend reading Jean Baudrillard.
