Details in the book such as propulsion of a spaceship by nuclear energy (fire stones) and water, the destruction of an entire civilization by an "evil wind" (radiation) caused by "weapons of terror" (nuclear bombs), the description of "whirlwinds" (helicopters) and thundering "celestial chariots" (rockets) make you wonder if this guy is an archaeologist and linguist or a science fiction writer. How does he know about ion propulsion? Turned from computer geek to archaeologist wanna-be, I started to confirm each of these claims. They are astonishing! Not only that. Historical events such as the sudden end of the Sumerian civilization, the predominance of Egypt and later Babylon, the appearance of the Mayan culture, with unequaled ('til today) astronomical expertise as well as the Chinese culture all around 2000-1500 BCE, definitely shows Sitchin to be correct. Finally, Norse and Celtic mythology, not to mention Greek (and Roman), Egyptian and Mesopotamian all refer to similar Gods (and their clans) that according to Sitchin are nothing but human aliens. It is possible. According to the book we (humans) were "improved" from Homo-Erectus. Therein, probably, lies that unexplained 1% of genetical difference with chimps (our closet evolutionary relatives), responsible for Mozart, Jack the Ripper, etc. Most of the Genesis stories coincide with this book, in a way. Man's creation in God's image and likeness, expulsion from Edin, the killing of Abel by his brother Cain (who was given a genetic mark: no facial hair), the story of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc. If you are serious about religion, history and science you got to read this book. It's an eye opener!Read full review
Without some former background/knowledge on these matters one would fine it very difficult to comprehend. Overall I enjoyed it and was also enlighten on several topics. Thank you.
