About the author of
The Earth Chronicles, also from dust cover...
"Zecharia
Sitchin was raised in Palestine, where he acquired a
profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic
and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and
archaeology of the Near East. He attended the London School of
Economics and Political Science and graduated from the
University of London, majoring in economic history. A leading
journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he now lives and
writes in New York.
One of the few
scholars able to read and understand Sumerian, Sitchin
has based The Earth Chronicles, his recent series of
books dealing with Earth’s and man’s histories and
pre-histories, on the information and texts written down on clay
tablets by the ancient civilizations of the Near East. His books
have been widely translated, reprinted in paperback editions,
converted to Braille for the blind."
