Zecharia Sitchin was born in Baku, Russia and raised
in pre-State Israel, where he studied the Jewish Bible in its original
Hebrew and learned firsthand the history and
archeology of the Near East. In his books he translates Sumerian texts so as to highlight the similarities between ancient religious myths and modern day accounts of UFOs.
Sitchin is a former assistant municipal clerk in Tel Aviv and
served in the British Army in Palestine during World War II. He immigrated
from Israel to the United States in the mid-1950's and worked in the field
of conflict mediation for many years.
Now almost 80, Sitchin still writes and lectures on the Nefilim -- aliens from the planet Nibiru who colonized Sumer and Israel in ancient times. The most recent installment of his Earth Chronicles series
of books is The Cosmic Code and came out
in November 1998. Letter by Zecharia Sitchin from the cover blurb to a previous edition of The 12th Planet
Dear Reader,
The Earth Chronicles series is based on the premise that - mythology is not fanciful but the
repository of ancient memories;
- that the Bible ought to be read literally as a historic/scientific
document; and that
- ancient civilizations - older and greater than assumed - were the product of
knowledge brought to Earth by the Anunnaki, "Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came."
Sitchin's First Four Books- The 12th
Planet, the first book of the series, presents ancient evidence for the existence of an additional planet in
the Solar System: the home planet of the Anunnaki. In confirmation of this evidence, recent data from
unmanned spacecraft has led astronomers to actively search for what is being called "Planet X.'' The
subsequent volume,
- The Stairway to Heaven, traces man's unending search for immortality to a
spaceport in the Sinai Peninsula and to the Giza pyramids, which had served as landing beacons for it-
refuting the notion that these pyramids were built by human pharaohs. Recently, records by an eye
witness to a forgery of an inscription by the pharaoh Khufu inside the Great Pyramid corroborated the
book's conclusions.
- The Wars of Gods and Men, recounting events closer to our times, concludes that the
Sinai spaceport was destroyed 4,000 years ago with nuclear weapons. Photographs of earth from space
clearly show evidence of such an explosion.
- Such gratifying corroboration of audacious conclusions has
been even swifter for The Lost Realms. In the relatively short interval between the completion of the
manuscript and its publication, archaeologists, linguists, and other scientists have offered a "coastal
theory" in lieu of the "frozen trekking" one to account for man's arrival in the Americas - in ships, as
this volume has concluded; have "suddenly discovered 2000 years of missing civilization," in the
words of a Yale University scholar - confirming this book's conclusion, and are now linking the
beginnings of such civilizations to those of the Old World, as Sumerian texts and biblical verses
suggest.
I trust that modern science will continue to confirm ancient knowledge.
