Explains the links between the Bible and ancient Sumerian texts, probing the age-old question of the relationship between humanity and its creators.
Challenges scientific maxims of the basis of human life.
Draws fascinating parallels between the leaders of the Anunnaki (from the 12th planet) and Yahweh.
A comprehensive new look at the history of man.
First time available in hardcover.
In Divine Encounters Zecharia Sitchin draws on basic Judeo-Christian texts to analyze the creation myths, paralleling Biblical stories to the myths of Sumer and Mesopotamia in order to show that humanity did not evolve without assistance. Sitchin daringly hypothesizes instead that Enki, one of the leaders of the Anunnaki from the 12th planet, created humanity as a "primitive worker." Furthermore, Sitchin suggests that the extraterrestrial encounters of today demonstrate the continued interest of the Anunnaki in the Earthlings they created.
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.
Divine Encounters
Another great book by Zachariah Sitchen,This one has a lot of previous material but I have read all eight books of his Earth chronicles and they are all very mind boggling.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!
riiiiiiiiiiiiight
Oh--the Tower of Babel was a spaceport and Noah was clued in by aliens who sat up in a spaceship while the world was flooded. Now it all becomes SO clear.The best thing about Sitchen's....er..."work" is that I always sleep great after reading it. I always sleep best after a good laugh.
Some original ideas and probably a nugget of uncommon truth here and there, but this is otherwise one of the most ridiculous books I've ever read.
