Lost Book of Enki: Memoirs and Prophecies of an Extraterrestrial God

Product Information

The fact that it actually holds together very well across the entire legend, including the colonizations of many of the planets in the solar system, the destruction of at least one, the seeding of our world with hybrid genetics between themselves and the natives, creating humanity. Let me also say that I have read all of Sitchin's books and found most, the first 3 or 4 at least, to be fascinating. He was one of the few scholars able to read and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets. Our ancient history laid out in great detail by someone who was actually there and wants mankind today to learn from past mistakes and begs us not to repeat them.

I'm not a deep scholar, but I've been interested in this for quite some time and I was able to pick out something like over 20 major (not minor) differences. I found it to be enjoyable, interesting, stimulating to read, the most convincing one I have read on what has become known as the Ancient Astronaut Theory.

Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity's side of the story concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, ';those who from heaven to earth came. I like myths and poetry, ancient and modern, which made the book enjoyable to read for me, for it is one long poem about Enki and other visitors to Earth from the planet, Nibiru. Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010), an eminent Orientalist and biblical scholar, was born in Russia and grew up 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. It’s all about how these aliens came to Earth thousands of years ago to get gold to fix their atmosphere. Mainly it just puts the story and information we already know from Sitchin's previous books in another format.

And then there's the destructive weapons that spread an evil wind that sounds just like radiation sickness. The description of a god in his eagle winged helmet, landing on the top of a ziggurat in his wheel, particularly moved me. He acquired knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European languages, the Torah, and the history and archeology of the Near East. I had to read this book over the course of a couple days because there are lots of funny names you have to keep track of and it seemed like it would be best to read the book quick before I forgot who was who.I’m not sure what ancient tablets he used exactly and how much of this came out of his imagination, but it was a pretty neat read either way. Something a lot of the reviewers/readers seem to be confused about: this is a hypothetical story; Sitchins idea of how it might have happened. In his book, Zecharia Sitchin attempted to prove the theory was true, not through his study of ancient architecture, but that of ancient Sumerian texts, etched on stone tablets. That he had recorded his autobiography is certain, for a long text (stretching over at least twelve tablets) discovered in the library of Nippur quotes Enki’s sayings. That great library, where scholars gathered to study the accumulated knowledge, was burnt down and destroyed in wars that extended from 48 B.

I have been reading the bible for fun at the same time as Sitchin's books and they meet and translate everything in there.

And then there's also the OTHER side of this book, which rankles my insistence on scholarship, but completely delights my creative side. It sounds believable to me, but I’m a primary source kind of guy; so I’d think it was a good time to read a book that just presented the source materials themselves with commentaries about their possible meanings.Rather than give any depth, insight, or fill in the gaps, it glosses over things as if they are a given. One who had been an eyewitness to all those events, indeed a key participant in them, was the leader who had splashed down with the first group of astronauts. Then, about four thousand years ago, all that had been achieved unraveled in a nuclear calamity, brought about by the visitors to Earth in the course of their own rivalries and wars.
