The Earth Chronicles series in six voumes deals with the history & prehistory of Earth & humankind. Each book in the series based upon information written on clay tablets by the ancient civilizations of the Near East records the fantastic & real battles that occurred between the original creator gods over control of planet Earth. Asserting the premise that mythology is not fanciful but the repository of ancient memories The Earth Chronicles series suggests that the Bible ought to be read literally as a historic/scientific document & that ancient civilizations--older & greater than assumed--were the product of knowledge brought to Earth by the Anunnaki Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came." 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 mans unending search for immortality to a spaceport in the Sinai Peninsula & 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 books conclusions. In The Wars of Gods & Men the third volume of his series Zacharia Sitchin recounts events closer to our times concluding 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. The Wars of Gods & Men in addition embraces Canaanite Hittite & Hindu sources to include in these investigations the incidents of The Great Flood the Tower of Babel & the upheaval of Sodom & Gomorrah. Sitchins unique reexamination of ancient mysteries explains these past cataclysmic events in the history of humanity opening insights into our future." ...
