The groundbreaking, bestselling series—millions of copies sold worldwide!

A classic of ancient human history—and one of the inspirations behind the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens—Zecharia Sitchin’s Earth Chronicles series is the revelatory and deeply provocative masterwork that forever altered humankind’s view of our history and our destiny.

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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Zecharia Sitchin is an internationally acclaimed author and researcher whose books offer evidence that we are not alone in our own solar system. One of a handful of scholars able to read the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, he has combined archaeology, ancient texts, and the Bible with the latest scientific discoveries to retell the history and prehistory of mankind and planet Earth. His trailblazing books have been translated into more than twenty languages; his first one, an oft-quoted classic, celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of its publication. A graduate of the University of London and a journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he now lives and writes in New York.

Print a bit smaller than expected but good book
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022
This book is highly controversial as it turns most of our archeological ideas upside-down. The "proof" presented is intriguing and really makes you think about what might be truth and what might be just distorted facts designed to control populations. It does make me question all I have been taught about human origins. I would recommend it!

Every book in the Earth Chronicles series is a delight to read. You may not agree with all of Sitchin's theories regarding Nibiru and the Anunnaki, but his chronology of ancient history and global events is spot-on, and his understanding of Sumerian mythology and language is impeccable. Regardless of the personal conclusions you arrive at after reading his work, I can certainly guarantee that you will also come away with a much greater sense of possibility for our ancient past, and the realization that there is much, much more to our history than we've ever been led to believe. In my opinion, it is the great work of researchers like Zecharia Sitchin and others that will ultimately bridge the gap between evolution and creationism, and finally reveal to us the long-hidden truths about our celestial origins.

Like Immanuel Velikovsky's, Earth in Upheaval, all of Stichin's books are worth reading as they introduce alternative views of earth's history long ago - backed by sciences such as anthropology, archology, geology, etc. Uses more recent technological and methodological approaches to challenge more traditional teachings about earth's past. 5-Stars for content, but not the smoothest read at all - so 4-Stars.
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019
At first, I really thought this book would be about silly alien theories that only added to the mystery of human origins and antiquity. But incredibly, this author proved to be as serious about the subject as any scientist. He seems to be more dedicated to logic and secular analysis of religious texts than the current theology, archaeology and anthropology hegemony of our day. This book was a huge surprise. It's no wonder he is virtually unknown in the popular reading circles; his ideas are not promoted by major media at all. No one on television mentions his name, science magazines don't mention him, school text books say nothing about his theories, and Facebook and Twitter tend to mute posts that include his works. His fresh perspective gives us new reasons to believe that biblical stories and epic myths may not be myth after all.

I was taught that that the truth is in our DNA...this book is so deep and mind blowing that it opens up avenues of feelings, questions and thoughts which makes you crave for more historical knowledge. Zecharia Sitchen was a brilliant man. Due to the powers that be I can tell he had to hold back on deeper info. other than that I believe 97% of these writings!! I wish it came in an 8'10'

This is the third book in the series that continues the journey of detailing a possible explanation of human history. I understand that not everyone will keep on open mind while reading this, but after now having read the first three books I can say that this is a very intriguing premise. Growing up and learning the traditional religious teachings, I have always had a feeling that something was missing or just didn't add up. The research in this book is very detailed and at times it definitely takes some concentration to follow all of the details. It can be a difficult read, but it is well worth it.

Sitchin and the Earth Chronicles series are truly Eye Opening. All the answers to all the questions no one else realy had an answer for, until now. Dr. Sitchin lays a great foundation for a complicated journey to a time so long ago, the names and places don't even feel right rolling off your tongue. He picks apart a web of elegant infidelity among the Gods that spawns offspring in all directions ultimately leading down a path of destruction for all. Sitchin, with great class, does not discredit the bible or any of the religions. In fact Sitchin brings the entire collective into view as never seen before to give, what I believe the most plausable history of our planet yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series is an incredible and great read, although if you read the entire series ...
Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2017
Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series is an incredible and great read, although if you read the entire series in order, as I have, it gets a little repetitive, because he retells the information he knows over and over again throughout the series, he does this to ensure that you can read any one of his books as stand-alone works of literature and still get all the main points, he definitely knows his stuff well, I find his condensation and presentation of the material of the Old Testament especially useful for someone like me who has an avid interest in sacred scriptures, he give a concise re-telling of all the major points in order in the Biblical Story, from the origins of the Book of Genesis, Tower of Babel, and story of Noah in older Sumerian sources, through the Moses and the Exodus, up to King Solomon, and then on from there. He's not right (in my opinion) about a few small details here and there, and I can't yet figure out how to fit together his work and Graham Hancock's quite properly, but they both place the deluge at around 10,000 B.C. which corresponds with Gobeki Tepe discoveries that report the same catastrophic world-event, Sitchin purports that an ice-sheet fell off Antarctica causing the global flood, Hancock reports multiple meteorite/asteroid impacts in the Northern Polar ice cap, (which melted out what is now Canada), but they both agree on the date. I have theorized that perhaps the fragments of Tiamat are still following Nibiru and when it passes nearest to our planet, that may be responsible for the impacts Hancock describes, Sitchin claims the gravitational force of Nibiru caused the already teetering ice-sheet to slip, maybe both happened at the same time? The only other problems I have with his work are that if the "seed of life" was passes from Nibiru onto what is now Earth (half of Tiamat in new orbit), how did that happen, they say that the satellites (moon/s) of Nibiru crashed into Tiamat, cleaving it in half and leaving behind the asteroid belt, so how did the seeds of life transfer from Nibiru to Earth without the planets colliding? And if they did collide, wouldn't such an event be enough to wipe out life on both planets? I mean the multiple impacts described by Hancock alone were enough to cause an extinction level event, more powerful than all of the nuclear warheads currently on Earth combined, so I have issues with that thesis. And the other point is that he goes on in this book to state that the Native Americans inhabiting the "New World" (Americas) were possibly descendants of the line of Cain, which is more or less forgotten about as far as the Biblical scriptures are concerned. But it that's the case, how did they survive the global flood? Sitchin has the three sons of Noah (Zisudra in Sumerian) re-populating the three main areas of the globe (did he have daughters too, or did more than just Noah/Zisudra and his wife survive the flood? This is unclear, or where did the wives of Noah's/Zisudra's sons come from?), which is satisfactory in many senses, being that Sitchin supports his religious/scriptural arguments with the most current scientific data at the time of the writing of the book. But I'm wondering then how did the line of Cain (Noah is from the line of Shem, I think, maybe that is wrong) survive the global flood? Were they pre-warned on the other side of the world too, or were some of the high enough in the mountains, like in Manchu Picchu or something? Hancock describes another Noah like tale among a certain tribe of Canadian Indians, in which a boat, similar to the ark, lands on some mountain peaks on Vancouver Island (where I live) paralleling the Biblical tale, but on the other side of the world. Did they happen together in parallel? It would make sense to head for the mountain peaks after such dramatic sea level rises. Or are these two versions of the same myth? Because the Bible states that only Noah and the people with him survived the Flood (Sumerian the same, just Zisudra instead), so in that case how could the Americas still be populated by the line of Cain? The theory reported by Mr. Hancock is that Noah's ark was actually an underground city, (one such has been found near Turkey, close to Noah's whereabouts) within which people dwelt underground for the 2,000 years or so it took for the debris cloud to settle down that was blocking out the sun after the impacts. The Tarot Card, The Last Judgement depicts people arising to the light from coffins, or tombs, with grey skin, i have suggested that this depicts the emergence of humanity from the underground city after 2,000 years, which would be enough generations for our skin to have turned grey, and our eye-sight was probably pretty bad, consider how blinding it would be to emerge out of the underground darkness into the bright light of day. Plat's cave analogy could be, in fact, true history, which he either veiled allegorically for some reasons, perhaps to keep it a secret somewhat, or that the metaphor arose spontaneously from the collective unconscious into his mind, finding expression through the philosopher and his writings, bringing the ancestral memory of the species into conscious, or maybe just subconscious level of awareness. (Repressed content has a tendency to try to surface under the right conditions, especially such dramatic events as these, which would have been very traumatic for the human race as a hole, similar to trauma that is repressed by patients with neurosis, or with difficult pasts. So it makes me wonder if Noah's ark story happened in a boat in one place on the Earth, or simultaneously in two or more places around the globe, or was just a corruption or something of the story of the cave. I tend towards the cave theory because I believe that a lot of ancient knowledge, somewhat secret is contained in the Tarot, stuff dating as far back as Atlantis and further back yet, to the very beginnings. But then again, if the survivors of the human race were all living in an underground city, how did the people in the America's survive? More underground cities? So the same thing happening in multiple locations again? Because if Noah is from the line of Shem (is that right?) then the American Indians cannot be of the line of Cain, unless there were two underground cities. No one is certain, at least to my knowledge, but the work of these two scholars are both valid and needs to be considered. No one could have survived on the surface, and instead of having animals two-by-two, genetic DNA samples would have been taken by the Annunaki of the animals, or they had the originals from when Enki created various beings in the E-DIN. That's enough about all that, the only other things I find lacking in Sitchin's work is a run through of Indian (Vedic) scriptures and history such as the Mahabharata, which I take to be also historical, and I believe stems from the same origin as Western system, for example your have Krishna and Arjuna an Christ and John, Abraham (A Brahmin) and Brahma, as well as the War between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness, found in both the Bharata and the writings of the Zoroastrians, who largely influenced the Essenes, and therefore the three main Abhramic (Western/Occidental) religions/world histories.
