Product Description
The crowning work of the best-selling Earth Chronicles series
• Reveals the existence of physical evidence of alien presence on Earth in the distant past
• Identifies and describes the demigods, such as Gilgamesh, descended from these visitors
• Outlines the tests of this physical evidence of alien presence that could unlock the secrets of health, longevity, life, and death
In whose genetic image were we made? From his first book The 12th Planet on, Zecharia Sitchin has asserted that the Bible’s Elohim who said “Let us fashion The Adam in our image and after our likeness” were the gods of Sumer and Babylon--the Anunnaki who had come to Earth from their planet Nibiru. The Adam, he wrote, was genetically engineered by adding Anunnaki genes to those of an existing hominid, some 300,000 years ago. Then, according to the Bible, intermarriage took place: “There were giants upon the Earth” who took Adam’s female offspring as wives, giving birth to “heroes of renown.” With meticulous detail, Sitchin shows that these were the demigods of Sumerian and Babylonian lore, such as the famed Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh as well as the hero of the Deluge, the Babylonian Utnapishtim.
Are we then, all of us, descendants of demigods? In this crowning oeuvre, Zecharia Sitchin proceeds step-by-step through a mass of ancient writings and artifacts, leading the reader to the stunning Royal Tombs of Ur. He reveals a DNA source that could prove the biblical and Sumerian tales true, providing conclusive physical evidence for past alien presence on Earth and an unprecedented scientific opportunity to track down the “Missing Link” in humankind’s evolution, unlocking the secrets of longevity and even the ultimate mystery of life and death.

 Better than the 12th Planet but Still White Washed August 29, 2010
Creole Guy (New Orleans)

I did read this book first and while it was eye opening enough to make me buy and read the 12th Planet, when the two books are combined this man becomes suspect. There is alot of censorship and typical Euro editing aka white editing which always tries to pick up from the Middle East or any place other than Africa. Now his theory about "The Adam" being created in Africa and then brough to the Middle East (Garden of Eden) simply makes no sense is evidently the same editing which is done by 100% of white writers who, due to social stigmas) had to down play the role of Africa as the start of civlization.
The Hamaitic tongue or language is more than the language of Semitic or Aryan when speaking of ancient days. The langauges of the Neolithic people was sprung from ancientt Crete(around Ethiopia)-Ethiopia predates the Sumerians and while popular social western thought appears to always think that this sprang up in lower Iraq, the first laws, government, arts and culture did indeed spring from Ethiopia!
So, this man is starting in a white western illusion and then going around and around in circles to keep the reader from realizing that the alien culture he is talking about didn't first set up this in the Middle East but in East Africa, where he just bruses off as being were Adam was created from mixed DNA.
All of his books appears to fall apart and in the 12 Planet he even starts in with the Greeks! It's typical but it is still a good book but flawed by western racism
 Larger than us on earth? Now let us DNA their remains! August 27, 2010

Great Book with a good explanation of our human and demigod ancestors.
Author has years of research behind all of his books, knowledgeable in Sumerian text, referenced to the old testament, well documented and requesting of modern science in the use of DNA testing.
I recommend this book to the serious reader with an open mind.
Sincerely, Richard
Proof of Our Alien DNA Within Reach August 23, 2010
Miriam Knight (Portland, OR, USA)

Reading this book is a bit like eating your way through an enormous banquet, lured on by the promise of a delectable dessert - but when you get to the end, they've run out! At least the feast itself is lavish and tasty. The central thesis of the book is that the ancient creation myths of Gods, giants and heroes were not myths at all but actual history, and that the proof is lying in the British Museum crying out for DNA testing.
Recapping some of the best parts of his earlier books, Zecharia Sitchin presents an overview of the cosmology of our planet in which he makes the case for alien genetic manipulation as the cause for the hitherto unexplained leap from homo erectus to homo sapiens and the rapid flowering of early civilizations.
While the various archeological records may use different names for the same gods and reflect different national perspectives on the stories, by and large they reinforce each others story lines. The detective work Sitchin used to piece together a coherent chronology is breathtaking. Weaving together ancient texts, including the bible, the Enûma Elish and the Gilgamesh epic with archaeological finds and artifacts from Mesopotamia to Egypt, the 90-year-old author of The 12th Planet presents the gods (conflated in the bible to one God) in a very "human" light. Indeed, it is somewhat depressing to realize that these advanced beings, who became the lawgivers and models for our societies, had the same appetites, ambitions, jealousies and taste for sex, war and conflict that we see in ourselves. Since, according to Sitchin, aliens introduced their own DNA into that of the native hominids, I guess one could say that we come by it honestly.
The translation of ancient languages is often based on best guesses and there are disagreements and rivalries amongst the archaeologists - they are human after all. While many of them ignore evidence that doesn't fit into the conventional worldview, Sitchin fearlessly revels in inconvenient truths such as pictures of rocket ships and anachronistic artifacts like exquisite inlayed gold ornaments and musical instruments dated to the Bronze Age - before such technologies should have existed. Given Sitchin's lifelong dedication to Mesopotamian archaeology, his interpretations are as plausible as any of them, and a lot more fun to read than most.
So that brings us to the uneaten dessert. In 1922 Leonard Wooley, a British archaeologist dug up a royal cemetery in what was identified as the ancient city of Ur of the Chaldees. One of the undisturbed tombs contained the skeleton of a woman on a bier covered in a jeweled cape and surrounded by a fortune in gold ornaments, ceremonial ojects and the remains of almost a hundred attendants. The skull was exceptionally large and elongated, and Sitchin traced the inscriptions on the seals in the tomb to an Anunnaki goddess, whose genealogy goes back to the first gods to land on Earth from the seed planet, Nibiru.
The find could finally prove Sitchen's claim of our alien ancestry, and for the past eight years he has been petitioning the curators of the British Museum repeatedly to conduct DNA tests on the bone, but they have refused. A comparison with Neanderthal and modern human DNA would answer these questions once and for all. Let's hope enough pressure is brought to bear by the community to get the tests done. That would be a fitting dessert for us and for Zacharia Sitchin. In the meantime, enjoy the feast!
Any Sitchin Book - Excellent Read August 23, 2010
CanelaManCA (Atlanta, GA USA)
Sitchin has done it again...great book of the times even if you've not read any of his previous works on earth's distant past, humanity's [unorthodox yet plausible] origin and clues about our [possible] future encounter with entities tied to the dawn of modern man. As with earlier works, this rendition provides excerpts of Sitchin's previous enlightenment and/or references to them (handy any time one's interest is peaked and want to 'dig up' additional details).
 Long in the tooth! August 18, 2010

The first few chapters are intriguing, but as one reads on,the very heavy background
of the gods becomes very boring. The linage of the (gods)?, is too much to absorb.
If one considers the God-gods, as righteous and just, this book will expose how
corrupt, jealous, and sexually addicted they were! Read this book with a very open
mind when evaluating the validity of the source.
