Volumes have been discussed on portions of Zechariah Sitchin’s ‘Earth Chronicles’ during the past two years, but nothing really definitive and comprehensive enough to view his works with any degree of chronological sequence. Because of the all-encompassing scope of his synthesis and how it may relate to UFO’s today, I submit this five-part post showing the time line for major points of the EC’s for your interest, examination, comment and critique: (Book titles in Sitchin’s works are listed at the end of Part 5.)
I think the work that went into the Earth Chronicles, as evidenced by the sources listed in Part 4 and 5, should put the author head and shoulders above most if not all researchers and scholars of ancient history. I’ve been following his works since his first book appeared in 1976, and have heard or read nothing to disprove any of his major points. On the contrary, many of his contentions have been confirmed by the mainstream academia, and a closer study of his works may yield answers more relevant to the questions we have today concerning our neighboring planets and space travel. I did not compile or type the information contained within this four-part post. But I would have if someone else hadn’t done it first. It was a long, arduous and commendable task, and I recommend that it be hard-copied for your reference works.
The following is a blurb from the dust cover 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.” 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.”
About the author of The Earth Chronicles, also from dust cover…
“Zecharia Sitchin was raised in Palestine, where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and archaeology of the Near East. He attended the London School of Economics and Political Science and graduated from the University of London, majoring in economic history. A leading journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he now lives and writes in New York. One of the few scholars able to read and understand Sumerian, Sitchin has based The Earth Chronicles, his recent series of books dealing with Earth’s and man’s histories and prehistories, on the information and texts written down on clay tablets by the ancient civilizations of the Near East. His books have been widely translated, reprinted in paperback editions, converted to Braille for the blind.”
