Synopsis

Zecharia Sitchin’s autobiographical recounting of a half century of investigative expeditions to unravel the enigmas of ancient civilizations and their gods

• Includes vivid accounts of explorations in Greece, Thera, Crete, Egypt, the Sinai, Israel, Jordan, and Mesoamerica

• Reveals behind-the-scenes findings in museums and archaeological sites

• Contains 60 color and 159 black-and-white images from the author’s personal archive, including previously unpublished photographic evidence of UFOs in biblical times

For the first time, Zecharia Sitchin, author of the bestselling The Earth Chronicles series, reveals the foundational research and adventurous expeditions that resulted in the concrete evidence for his conclusions that ancient myths were recollections of factual events, that the gods of ancient peoples were visitors to Earth from another planet, and that we are not alone in our own solar system. In the course of his investigations Sitchin also became convinced of the veracity of the Bible.

Sitchin’s expeditions take readers from the Yucatan peninsula to the isle of Crete to ancient Egypt and the lands of the Bible as he explores the links between the Old World and the New World. His adventurous exploits reveal archaeological cover-ups concerning Olmec origins in Mexico and ancient UFO artifacts in Turkey. Other quests send him through the holy sites of Jerusalem, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon in search of evidence of extraterrestrial gods in the artifacts and murals of these ancient civilizations. The Earth Chronicles Expeditions is a masterful historical and archaeological adventure into the origins of mankind and a “must” guidebook for all who wish to visit the numerous sites and museums covered in this book.

About this title

About the Author

An eminent Orientalist and Biblical scholar, Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) was distinguished by his ability to read ancient Sumerian clay tablets and other ancient texts. He was a graduate of the University of London and worked as a journalist and editor in Israel for many years before making his home in New York City.

From the Back Cover

TROY--a Greek poet's fiction, a real place where heroes battled and died, or an arena where vengeful gods used men as pawns?

Was there an Atlantis, or was its tale an allegorical myth? Was the New World linked to Old World civilizations millennia before Columbus?

It is with a visit to the remains of Troy that Zecharia Sitchin and the reader of this book begin journeys to the mythical and legendary past, exploring the hidden evidence of Mankind's true past and thus its future.

This is the tenth of Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling books. The previous books, under the umbrella title The Earth Chronicles, were written by him as a reporter observing the deeds and histories of others, be they gods or men. In this book he shares with the reader his own story of searching and researching, of going to distant places to see things for himself, to personally verify evidence, to check the feasibility of trade routes or flight paths.

The Earth Chronicles Expeditions were at times not without danger. At times they crossed the paths with world leaders or with geopolitical events, war and peace. Some of the destinations were millennia-old ruins of royal cities; others, like the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, are still the subject of daily headlines. Indeed, it is from these voyages into the past that today's conflicts and passions can be understood.

Ranging from Mayan temples in Mexico to hidden artifacts in Istanbul, Turkey, from biblical tunnels to the mysteries of Mount Sinai, from the abode of a Sumerian goddess to Greek islands, the Expeditions' destinations and amazing discoveries unmasked established fallacies, detected the fate of provocative artifacts, and revealed ancient connections to modern space facilities.

In this autobiographical book ZECHARIA SITCHIN shares with the reader not only his encompassing knowledge of antiquity and his field experiences, but also hitherto unseen photographs from his personal archive. In this book he also bares his inner feelings and the cord that binds him to his ancestral past.
