ENLIGHTENING & FRIGHTENINGOctober 29, 2001 Having read this book some years ago, i picked it up again recently to remind me of the nature of men! It did not change my mind about man's incredulous lengths to achieve self-glorification. It's an on-going thing! Girls, read this and dissipate the myth about MEN, if you can get your head around it!! HEEAAVVYYY!!!
The most enlightening book of the modern era.June 8, 2001 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is the definitive examination of the divine intrigues that formed the basis of cultures on our world and our origins. If you want to know the REAL TRUTH; this is where it's at.
A BIT DENSENovember 30, 2000 6 out of 12 found this review helpful
Sitchin's work always make for exciting reading, but this one is a bit laboured and heavy on facts, so it doesn't flow as smoothly as the other titles in the series. I take his theories with a pinch of salt, as his Nibiru chronology doesn't make sense to me (If this 12th planet is supposed to come round every 3600 years and cause havoc on earth, it was supposed to have come round in 100BC according to Sitchin's own chronology). But there is no record of any such thing happening in 100BC! So perhaps Nibiru veered off out of the solar system and is now drifting aimlessly through the cosmos! Ha, that would serve the Anu right for having so selfishly interfered on earth.
This Scholar Again Opts for the FantasticOctober 8, 2000 6 out of 11 found this review helpful
Ancient mysteries present difficult and complex problems. But not for Stichin... seemingly he has all the answers! Sitchin is a scholar, a linguist, and an investigator with an unusual grasp of ancient archeology and astronomy. Sitchin again posits a fantastic account of alien intervention as the origin of civilization. However, he fails to prove or even substantially advance his case that extraterrestrial intervention and genetic mutation planted the seeds that would sprout into the foundation of Earth's civilizations. His work is disguised as science but it fails by most sstandards of scientific method, documentation and proof.
Accurate and BoringSeptember 13, 2000 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I love Sitchin. He delves deeper into these subjects than anyone I have found. In this book he looks into the wars that have taken place throughout prehistory and puts his god-like spin on it. It is a thoughtful, very deep, and boring book. Read it with a thirst for knowledge, but not when you are tired. I found his information about the pyramids of Giza to be interesting, and if you would like to read some great (non-boring) writing on that subject, I recommend Fingerprints of The Gods by Graham Heathcock.
