Rating:  Summary: 5 for thought provoking Review: So maybe it's true and maybe it's not. We may never know. However reading through the reviews it sure has made for some heated discussion. Whatever our reasons for embracing or dismissing books like this, anything which produces so much emotion or causes us to think and question can't be so bad.
Rating:  Summary: Provocative Review: The author makes some compelling links between current scientific discoveries and his interpretations of the ancient Sumerian texts. He deftly demonstrates that the writers of those texts had knowledge far more advanced than present-day archeaologists and paleoanthropogists would lead us to believe. Al in all, a very interesting work. The last chapter is highly speculative, but still makes the reader think. A recommended read for all students of 'how did we get here?
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.
Rating:  Summary: Best of Sitchin. Review: The best of Sitchin's books. It rises to the level of garbage
Rating:  Summary: Hard-hitting proofs that hit at last. Review: The book that weve all been waiting for.Now,there are finally REAL evidences that can back up some of the theories.And another nice thing about this book is that it touches on a lot of topics that are not confined in a particular time & place.Ancient & modern are grouped together to meticulous study.Probably his best.
Rating:  Summary: I think we're still not quite there Review: The title is an reply to Mr. Sitchin's claim that we have caught up with this knowledge. He closed the book with that claim. We have rediscovered atomic energy, space travel, biogenetics etc., knowledge of the Gods, which was in some occasions even presented and explained to mortal people (to Adam, Elmo, Lamech..) but was mostly exclusive proper of the Gods, but was detailed and written by the scribes and is also preserved in the Bible, although it is only a representation of its original form. The book should be read after you have finished at least first three volumes of the Earth Chroncles by Sitchin, because it was written later and there are many references to them, especially to the first book 12th Planet in terms of astronomical knowledge of Sumerians about our Solar system. Personally I liked the Phobos chapter the most - things Sitchin predicted almost ten years ago are coming into reality, perhaps slightly slower as he thought. We won't live long enough to welcome Nibiru. But it will come to us.
Rating:  Summary: Genesis Revisited Review: This book changed my life. Sitchin writes with authority and insight and provokes a great deal of questioning about the origin of our species, what we know of god, the geological formation of the planet and the essence of human nature. Very powerful. I would give anything for the ideas put forth in this book to become widely recogized and debated. This book will open your mind to a truth that will astound you.
Rating:  Summary: an abridged version of the classic series of novels Review: This is a sort of condensed version of Sitchin's delightful "Earth Chronicles" series of illustrated science fiction novels, focusing mostly on the first, 12th Planet. These books are packed with fun science facts that will fascinate readers of all ages and, even better, they are presented in a very entertaining fictional format. All your favorite characters from the original serial are back: Enki, Ninti, the villainous Enlil, and, of course (!), those zany Annunaki from Nibiru. Why no one has nominated Sitchin for the Caldicott award is beyond me. Or maybe a Pulitzer.
Rating:  Summary: The best of Sitchin's work Review: This is probably the best of all Sitchin's work, since it essentially summarises the 5 Earth Chronicles books. The basic hypothesis is the same - Earth was probably visited in the distant past by extraterrestials who genetically engineered Man as a mining slave. Sounds whacky yes, but Sitchin's scholarship is unchallenged by most. For those who don't have the patience to read his 6 or 7 other books on the subject, this one will do nicely. Read it with an open mind and remember, what he says at least presents a scientific alternative to blind acceptance that Man was divinely created. And for those who want to pursue more about Man's past, read "Forbidden Archaeology'' by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson. Your worldview will never be the same again
Rating:  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.
