Elementary perturbation theory indicates that, under the most favorable circumstances of avoiding close encounters with other planets, no body with such an eccentric orbit would keep the same period for two consecutive passages. Then, Enlil split heaven and earth in two [7] and carried away the earth [8] while his father An carried away the sky. This assembly was seen as a divine counterpart to the semi-democratic legislative system that existed during the Third Dynasty of Ur ( c. Many things written seem to be almost impossible to believe but somehow an underlying feeling emerges in me that it all makes sense.

It gives a great overview of Sitchin’s beliefs and answers many of the questions asked here about the Annunaki, Nibiru, 3600 year orbit etc. Sitchin, as would any curator at the British Museum, but we just need to take this author’s word for it that their rigorous academic training is wrong and that he is right. Zecharia Sitchin’s lack of a formal education in Semitic Studies likely led to an inaccurate and therefore misinformed reading of the Sumerian texts. Borrows considerably from Sitchin's books in terms of the idea of ancient aliens being the Annunaki.Sitchin believes that fallout from nuclear weapons, used during a war between factions of the extraterrestrials, is the "evil wind" described in the Lament for Ur that destroyed Ur around 2000 BC. It’s amazing what people will claim to be the truth and publish, and how many people will believe it.

No other authors or published work in the Western Hemisphere can even come close to the quantitative and qualitative wealth of information given in this book.According to Sitchin, Enki (the Sumerian god of water and human culture) suggested that to relieve the Anunnaki, who had mutinied over their dissatisfaction with their working conditions, that primitive workers ( Homo sapiens) be created by genetic engineering as slaves to replace them in the gold mines by crossing extraterrestrial genes with those of Homo erectus. Just like above in some of the comments, I found Zecharia Sitchin’s lengthy reports on Nibiru and Anunnaki to be surprising! The path of Enlil's celestial orbit was a continuous, symmetrical circle around the north celestial pole, [40] but those of An and Enki were believed to intersect at various points. In fact apart from the recaps of other authors' discoveries and his own oddball conspiracy theories and odd beliefs in how he thinks the aliens maintained control over humans, there was little else. Sitchin's explanation that heat from radioactive decay and a thick atmosphere keep Nibiru warm is absurd and does not address the problem of darkness in deep space.

Decode the intricate tapestry of Sumerian beliefs, as we unravel the messages and insights the Anunnaki imparted to humanity. Sitchin was a frequent guest on the Coast to Coast AM radio show, which in 2010 presented Sitchin with a lifetime achievement award. BC) onward, the name Anunnaki was applied generally to the deities of the underworld; [2] whereas the name Igigi was applied to the heavenly deities.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). In the earliest Sumerian writings about them, which come from the Post-Akkadian period, the Anunnaki are deities in the pantheon, descendants of An and Ki, the god of the heavens and the goddess of earth, and their primary function was to decree the fates of humanity. The disturbance causes a flood, [52] which forces the resident gods of Nippur to take shelter in the Eshumesha temple to Ninurta. Perhaps it is fitting for Westerners to look into the religious and historical origins for the kings and demigods of Sumer, the first culture to provide evidence of the cuneiform script language, complete with no antecedent.
