Amazon.com Review Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series is based on the premise that mythology is not physiologically based, psychologically metaphorical, or culturally allegorical but rather the repository of ancient memories, and that the Bible ought to be read as a historical scientific document. While the debate regarding the origins of myth is far from conclusive, and the dangers of assuming that the subjectivity of the reader/researcher will not intervene are obvious, Stitchin is an expert in ancient language and history. While the reader may scoff at his unfortunately characteristic long leaps of logic resulting in conclusions (such as that gods from outer space destroyed a spaceport on the Sinai Peninsula four millennia ago), he does present some compelling ideas not easily ignored. The series, of which this is the third volume, deserves a read by those fascinated with the search for the origins of humankind who don't mind spending time separating wheat from chaff. --P. Randall Cohan
Product Description
Thousands of years ago, the Earth was a battlefield. These were the wars that would shape man's destiny—terrible conflicts that began lifetimes earlier on another planet. Parting the mists of time and myth, the internationally renowned scholar Zecharia Sitchin takes us back in this volume to the violent beginnings of the human story, when gods—not men—ruled the Earth. In a spellbinding reconstruction of epic events preserved in legends and ancient writings, he traces the conflicts that began on another world, continued on Earth, and culminated in the use of nuclear weapons—an event recorded in the Bible as the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Amazing investigative research August 17, 2008 Zecharia Sitchin did a phenomenal work of research and--something extremely rare--drawing conclusions regarding human prehistory and recorded history. To me, that's the most important aspect of any investigative research: being able to draw pertinent conclusions that help answer major mysteries. Whether a reader is able to accept those deductions and settle his mind is up to him, but Sitchin certainly did his part, with integrity and courage. My only problem is the size of the books! They should not look like pulp fiction novels. This diminishes the importance of their content.
Armegeddon Prequel December 13, 2007 Sumerian scholar Zechariah Sitchen has opened up early human history with his series created by a blend of Middle-eastern mythology and Biblical reference. In this volume he deals with the roots of war, connecting it to sibling rivalry that repeats itself over many generations and cultures, even to this day. We meet,in detail, the characters of ancient myths, giving flesh to history of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Bible lands and even Mezo-America. He implies that war will never resolve old wrongs and that only forgiveness can hope to bring peace. A brilliant, readable, open-minded work.

Again anything this man writes I endorse as he was the 1st to make me think of how, why what and where we came from as man.

A great Esoteric read of mankinds hereitage to the pre - Sumerian stage in mankinds forgotten past. Good historical text that captures the era when mankind was in communication with his Spirt, creation and realized his Cosmic destiny.

Another great book by Zachariah Sitchen, I have read all eight books of his Earth chronicles and they are all very mind boggling.This book gives a new slant on the great pyramid in Egypt.
