It makes you wonderAugust 10, 1999 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have to admit at first i was sceptic, but i like to think about myself as an open minded individual so i read it. I couldn't put the book down. Granted some of Mr. Sitchin's ideas are to say the least, provocative, but what if he's right? If you are religious individual it will make you reread the bible time and time again searching for the things he talks about, and if your are not it will make you pick up a the bible and do the same thing. In any case it was and still is a good book, as are all the Earth Chronicle books.

The best of Sitchin's books. It rises to the level of garbage
The best of Sitchin's workJune 2, 1999 15 out of 18 found this review helpful
This is probably the best of all Sitchin's work, since it essentially summarises the 5 Earth Chronicles books. The basic hypothesis is the same - Earth was probably visited in the distant past by extraterrestials who genetically engineered Man as a mining slave. Sounds whacky yes, but Sitchin's scholarship is unchallenged by most. For those who don't have the patience to read his 6 or 7 other books on the subject, this one will do nicely. Read it with an open mind and remember, what he says at least presents a scientific alternative to blind acceptance that Man was divinely created. And for those who want to pursue more about Man's past, read "Forbidden Archaeology'' by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson. Your worldview will never be the same again
This book answers many questions.January 30, 1999 7 out of 12 found this review helpful
Although on a very busy business trip, I felt compelled to finish this book and read it during any free time. I am eager to read his other books now and would be interested in communicating with others who have read his works. His theories make a lot of sense, are well-documented and answer many questions. I liked the scientific way he presented things. It still leaves plenty of room for your own personal religious beliefs.
