Book Description

May 1 1983 Earth Chronicles (Book 2)

Since earliest times, humanity has pondered the incomprehensible mysteries of the universe, life...and the afterlife. Was there somewhere on Earth where, after death, mortal man could join the immortal Gods? Where was this place? By whom was it established? And does it still exist today?

After years of painstaking research -- combining recent archaeological discoveries with ancient texts and artifacts -- noted scholar Zecharia Sitchin has identified the legendary Land of the Gods...and provided astounding new revelations about the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and other mysterious monuments whose true meanings and purposes have been lost for eons.

About the Author

Zecharia Sitchin is an internationally acclaimed author and researcher whose books offer evidence that we are not alone in our own solar system. One of a handful of scholars able to read the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, he has combined archaeology, ancient texts, and the Bible with the latest scientific discoveries to retell the history and prehistory of mankind and planet Earth. His trailblazing books have been translated into more than twenty languages; his first one, an oft-quoted classic, celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of its publication. A graduate of the University of London and a journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he now lives and writes in New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small print, Big ideas Jun 30 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sitchin's second effort is mainly an expansion on one of the central themes addressed in his first book, "The Twelfth Planet". A number of related subjects are discussed, the unifying theme being man's preoccupation with the concept of (and search for!) immortality. If you think about it, you have to wonder... where on EARTH could man have gotten the idea that such a thing as eternal youth could exist? Certainly there are no examples of immortality native to this planet. If you like Sitchin this book must not be missed...it is a prerequisite to thorough understanding of later volumes in the series. The print is rather small though, making the book a little more difficult to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars going beyond sitchin Jun 23 2000
By perla
Format:Mass Market Paperback
At the beginning of my quest for answers to the Universe, i found sitchin's books. they are all full of intriguing ideas and possible answers to the origins of humankind on earth. i see strong hints of his theories in X-Files and the Star Trek series. and i say this as a fan of these shows.

readers, keep this in mind, sitchin's works DO NOT complete your search for answers to The Origins of Life or the Universe. sitchin's works are truely interesting and can be exciting. BUT BEWARE: do not let your searchings and readings stop here with Sitchin. go ahead and read Sitchin, but continue to search for answers with more reading and research to satisfy your intellect and soul.

i would suggest other authors such as Peter Russell (White Hole in Time, Global Brain) for academic and philosophical theory on the evolution of life on earth. And Ken Carey(The Third Millenium) for further answers to the cosmic origins of mankind that comes with satisfying prose on the spiritual essence and the Universe's purpose in humans.

whether your try these authors and others, i hope you find other material to further your personal search for Answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars When you read it you believe it ! Feb 21 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted to read Zecharia Sitchin's books for a long time and I am sooooo glad I did.Something about this man told me he had the answers I was looking for.So many things we have been taught in school about religion didn't make sense to me and Mr Sitchin is making sense of it all for me.In the first book ''The 12th Planet'' we learn how our solar system came to be and specifically planet Earth and its moon.We also learn what is the 12th Planet,its inhabitants and how they came down to Earth 450,000 years ago!They were called the Anunnaki.We learned all this through the Sumerians who wrote it down for the posterity...We see how everything fits into place and how all the texts written in different eras come together with ONE and only ONE history of our world.The second book,well,explains so much more.How humankind came to be...for example.It is absolutely fascinating and I feel that for the first time we finally know the truth...I can't wait to read his other books on the subject.This,mind you,doesn't take away the belief in the one and only God of all creation.Our story is but one chapter in our Lord's Book of Life...

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Sitchin reading
Stair Way To Heaven is a typical Sitchin book; it's great. More talk about the Annunaki,pyramids and connecting legends and myths with those beings from niburu.
