Customer Reviews

Riveting and thought provoking!

Referencing historical experiences, relatable to current experiences by awakened, thinking people.

Great contribution to the series--stunning ending!

This contribution to Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series would stand on its own as one of his most interesting books. But Sitchin really buries the lead in this book. The last chapter is called an endpaper, and is the most stunning of chapter of any of his books. Without giving away the ending, Sitchin goes through the entire pantheon of ancient astronaut "gods" we've come to know through him and shows how the Yahway of the Old Testament isn't any of these figures. His unexpected conclusion is mind-boggling and really changes the meaning of all of his previous books. I don't know why this wasn't the thesis of one of his books, and is instead included as a footnote to this book.

Is doesn't matter at all whether it`s science, it still may be true...

All books by Mr. Sictchin are very good and unusual, IMHO. But this one in a way surpases them by far. I shall not go into a detailed description of the contents but the last chapters of the book have striken me with their unorthodox approach and analysis. I shall give just one example - the meaning of the Hebrew word 'olam' (world, universe): this word appears a lot in the Bible, both by itself and in two strange combinations 'le-olam' ('for ever'!? what's the connection?) and 'me-olam' ('never') - this ethymology always looked queer to me - and here comes Mr. Sitchin and makes this 'space-time' connection simple and clear. And at the end Mr. Sicthin tries to find out who really was the God of the Bible - and arrives to a conclusion you would never expect!

At last! The identity of Yahweh?

Another masterpiece by my hero. And if that's not enough, at last, the answer to the burning (bush?) question... just who was the God of the Jews?... was he "just another annunaki"?... or more? A "don't miss this" for readers of the "Earth Chronicles". Awesome!

Just Great..... totally recommended!

I loved this book! I think that this is a must for anyone interested in UFO's and alternate explanations for religious interpretations.

Response to "A Reader in St. Louis, MO/USA"

Why do you assume that Nibiru has to orbit "the sun?" What if Nibiru has its own internal heat source? What if Nibiru has its own sun? The truth is that Planet Earth is probably unique in the universe; therefore, can you consider that Nibiru is also unique in its own way and that just because it is different from our Earth, i.e., its 3,600 year orbit, doesn't mean the planet doesn't exist or that it doesn't support lifeforms. Mr. Sitchin asks that we not limit our thinking; if we remove the limits from our thinking processes, we will realize that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, not just US! Zecharia Sitchin has shown us more of our real history than any other contemporary author. I applaud him for his courage in writing this and his other "Earth Chronicles" books.
