A summary of the Earth ChroniclesAugust 26, 2006 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Sitchin's series of books is time consuming to read. However, this book is a very nice summary of his theories. He summarizes much of what takes pages and pages to present in the books of the Earth Chronicles series. Not sure as to the validity of Sitchin's assertions, but they sure are interesting. Faithful Christians will probably find this book blasphemous. Free thinkers will enjoy it a great deal!!

Best Of Sitchin, the Highlights, should be subtitleApril 26, 2005 11 out of 15 found this review helpful
Begin at the beginning, is a good general rule, which this book follows. Also, I happened to read this book before the author's earlier books, which I read later, out of linear sequence. If you are a student of the Bible, or history in general, this book is like having an encyclopedic cliff note version and speaks to the who, what, where of ancient history on eridu (earth)...at least from the Sumerian perspective, the culture that apparently left records of which we have some knowledge, in large part due to the author's re-releasing of ancient text. I read the earlier hc edition with green dj.

Here is something you don't see every day, a Christian who beleives in alien life, UFO's, Conspiracy throries and the possibility that maybe we've misinterpreted the Bible all these years! I do beleive in God and I do beleive in Jesus, but Mr. Sitchins works are simply too hard to ignore. it IS a fact the creation account of Genesis, the Flood account and the tower of Babel and other accounts in Genesis are downsized versions (abridged) of their ancenstors accounts from Meopotamia. It's foolish to assume that all of the ancient myths are just sroies for fantasy and not early mans attempt at jouranalistic reporting. Sitchin also proves what Chritians have been saying for years, THERE IS SCIENCE IN THE BIBLE!!!!!!!! While the very validity of evolution is coming into question by an alarmingly growing number of scientists nowadays (most of whome have no religious loyalties by the way) portions of Sitchins works may be discredited, but it is still a worthwhile read.

a work that delighfully pries open rigid brain cells, stimulates them to expand marvelous new synapses and leaves the reader brimming with revolutionary ideas.
Unusual, unique, elegantly researched but hope-filled theorized notions that will rock your world. Sitchin takes you into the outer limits and you become the better for it.
