Over the years, startling evidence has been unearthed revealing the existence of a superior race of beings who once inhabited our world. Travelers from the stars, they arrived eons ago — and planted the genetic seed that would ultimately blossom into a remarkable species ... called Man.

Sitchin's first book, The Twelfth Planet, was the product of thirty years of intensive research. He painstakingly and methodically compared available translations of ancient historical and biblical texts against each other and against the Hebrew source and the parallel Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Akkadian and Hittite texts. Legions of scholars have already spent more than a century studying and deciphering the scripts and language of these ancient civilizations.

Is the Bible merely a text of myth and tale? Or is it a condensed version of events and people and places that existed eons earlier? The "Great Flood" story of the Bible is an example. Is it simply a coincidence that nearly every culture and region of the world has a "flood" myth including our own Native Americans, or does the Bible speak of an event which actually occurred and was recorded by every culture existing at the time? Archeological discoveries and carbon and DNA testing of Sumerian and other civilizations and artifacts continue to validate and corroborate biblical records.

In 1543, Copernicus was the first to suggest that the Earth was not the center of the solar system. It wasn't until the discovery of the telescope by Galileo in 1610 that this theory was confirmed. Yet Sumerians, whose civilization existed as early as 3,000 B.C. had already depicted a complete solar system, with the Sun, not the Earth, in the center. The first ring of Saturn was not discovered until 1659 by Christian Huygens, yet an Assyrian clay tablet showed the solar system which included a large ringed planet, Saturn.

Zecharia Sitchin, whose work challenges everything we thought we knew about human civilization, is considered by many to be the greatest historian of all time. Sitchin is one of a small number of orientalists who can read the Sumerian clay tablets, which trace Earth's and human events to the earliest times. He was born in Russia and raised in Palestine, where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew and of other Semitic and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and archeology of the Near East. He graduated from the University of London, majoring in Economic History, having attended the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Sitchin is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Oriental Society, the Middle East Studies Association of North America, and the Israel Exploration Society. He was the recipient of the 1996 Scientist of the Year Award of the International Forum on New Science, and has been featured on numerous television and radio programs.

His books have been translated into 14 languages and have sold millions of copies around the world. They include: The 12th Planet (1976), The Stairway To Heaven (1980), The Wars Of Gods And Men (1985), The Lost Realms  (1990), Genesis Revisited (1990), When Time Began (1993), Divine Encounters (1996), and most recently, The Cosmic Code (1998). The 12th Planet has had 25  printings, with other Sitchin titles following close by.

These Earth Chronicles series of books combine advances in modern science with textual and pictorial evidence from the past to form a cohesive and fact-based story of what really happened on our planet in the past 450,000 years. His mind-stretching cosmology is a preparation for the return of the Nibiruans, and the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. Although incredible, this body of work appears unchallengeable academically.

His work has had the purpose of showing us, we are not alone. And, our past is deeper and more complete than we had thought.
