Divine Encounters: A Guide to Visions, Angels and Other Emissaries

by ZechariaSitchin (Author)

Synopsis

In Divine EncountersZecharia Sitchin draws on basic Judeo-Christian texts to analyze the creation myths, paralleling Biblical stories to the myths of Sumer and Mesopotamia in order to show that humanity did not evolve without assistance. Sitchin daringly hypothesizes instead that Enki, one of the leaders of the Anunnaki from the 12th planet, created humanity as a primitive worker. Furthermore, Sitchin suggests that the extraterrestrial encounters of today demonstrate the continued interest of the Anunnaki in the Earthlings they created.

In Sitchin's well referenced works, we witness how his towering intellect . . . allow him visionary access to ancient works in their original languages. * Bodhi Tree Bookstore, Winter 2002/Spring 2003 *
Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and compelling. * Library Journal *
Sitchin is a zealous investigator into man's origins . . . a dazzling performance. * Kirkus Reviews *
An extremely thought-provoking book that chronicles the fascinating history we humans have. . . . Sitchin shows us how vast and mysterious our human origins are, and what we might expect if and when the Anunnaki come back for a return visit. * UFO Magazine *
Sitchin's works are outstandingly different from all others that present this central theme. His linguistic skills in the languages of antiquity and his pursuit of the earliest available texts and artifacts make possible the wealth of photographs and line drawings appearing in his books from tablets, monuments, murals, pottery, and seals. * Rosemary Decker, historian and researcher *
