The Sumerian cuneiform deciphering
skills of
Zecharia Sitchin, a linguist in
command of many ancient languages who has set the scientific world
on its ear with his astounding interpretations of ancient writings.
In 1976, Sitchin’s first book,
The Twelfth Planet, began an
odyssey that has literally transformed the field of ancient history;
in 1993 came the sixth book in his Earth Chronicle series,
When Time Began. Among other
mind boggling assertions, this book links the complex calendar of
Stonehenge and the puzzling ruins of Tiahuanacu
in Bolivia, to the ancient culture of the Sumerians,
and by extension, to the Nibiruans, who are also
called the Anunnaki. These are the folks Sitchin
insists not only created the Sumerian culture, but who also
genetically created human beings as we know them. And yes, they live
on this mysterious 12th planet,
Nibiru.
To
date, Sitchin has deciphered more then 2,000 clay cylinders
from that ancient land on the Persian Gulf that existed some 6,000
years ago. Some of these fragments, which date to 4,000 B.C., are in
museums around the world. One fragment in particular, presently in
Germany, indicates that Earth is the seventh planet,
counting in from Pluto. The time frame here is four
millennia before modern astronomy confirmed the existence of
Pluto as an actual planet in our solar system. So how did an
ancient race of people know this fact? Sitchin says it is
because these ancient people did not come from Earth,
but from Nibiru. Profound family squabbles eventually
caused the Nibiruans to abandon planet Earth, leaving
human beings to fend for themselves. These early humans would never
possess the ability to travel among the stars like their creators,
nor would they possess the immortality of their creators.
Eons later, however, we humans finally have sent an intelligently
designed satellite probe beyond the confines of our solar system.
Are we repeating our past? This is but one of the perplexing
questions Sitchin investigates in the Earth Chronicles.
Not only an eminent archaeologist, Sitchin is also a
formidable analyst of ancient cultures, in fact, perhaps the best
ever.
His explicative comparisons of similar but disparate mythologies
provide a fuller understanding of world religions. Among other
things, Sitchin’s investigations indicate that there may be
an outpost in orbit around Mars preventing current
humans from getting there (a fact verified by both U.S. and Russian
space probe problems in that neighborhood). But the primary focus of
this impressive research is ancient Sumer. The
decipherment of that culture’s
clay tablets, buried
for millennia, reveals roots that stretch all the way back to
450,000 B.C. The reason Sitchin was motivated to learn to
read cuneiform tablets was his initial curiosity as a boy concerning
the meaning of "Nefilim", an enigmatic group mentioned
in the Old Testament. Translated, "Nefilim" means "those
who came down."
"Came down from where" is the
starting point that makes the Earth Chronicles better reading
than any Sherlock Holmes mystery. In order to unlock the
mystery, Sitchin takes on a journey all around the world to
ancient cities and former civilizations.
Cuneiform tablets
It would be impossible to do justice to
his research in such a brief review as this one; however, there are
some very significant findings on the existence of this other race
of people. Perhaps the most compelling is the "face
on Mars," the
structure in the area called Cydonia
on the Red Planet. What is it? If the relationship of the
face on Mars is analyzed for its distance to other
pyramidal structures also discovered on Mars, the
geometric relationship is found to be identical to the distances of
the
Egyptian Sphinx and the
pyramids in the surrounding areas of Egypt. Sitchin concluded
the placement of these pyramids indicates that they served as
landing markers for the Nibiruans after they entered
the Earth’s atmosphere from outer space. Sitchin also has
asserted that the early pyramids were not designed by the
Egyptians. NBC-TV aired a program on Nov.10, 1993
entitled "The Mystery of the Sphinx", indicating that the
Sphinx is 2,000 years older than previously thought. This
corroborates Sitchin’s findings that someone other than the
Egyptians designed the pyramids.
One astounding assertion after another has made Sitchin the
most controversial writer of our time because he challenges
everything we thought we knew about human civilization. It’s easy to
dismiss Sitchin’s research in the same way that other people
dismiss UFO’s, Eric Von Daniken and countless
other researchers who claimed to have found evidence for
extraterrestrial visitors to this planet. But Sitchin is well
aware of this devil’s advocacy, and vaporizes the arguments of
skeptics with solid scholarship, including the most rigorous
translations of Sumerian text, Vedic tales and excerpts
from the original Greek and Hebrew versions of the Bible.
This ability to translate many languages is no small achievement.
Those of us who will never possess the ability to decipher
6,000-year-old clay tablets must trust that Sitchin has done
his job accurately. But his sources reveal an utter integrity,
including the finest, most respected citations and references
imaginable.
The two most recent individuals to pay attention to Sitchin
were Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf, the American
Generals who were key figures in the recent Gulf War. The
landing place of the Nibiruans was in an area once
called Eridu, now called Southern Iraq. The
main reason
Saddam Hussein was not captured
was because he was holding out in an ancient step pyramid
constructed by one of those early civilizations mentioned by
Sitchin, and which the Americans were loathe to bomb, because of
their inestimable historical value. Once the gloss of the media is
removed from consensus reality, an entirely new picture emerges
as to who knows what concerning what Sitchin has uncovered.
This writer may never know who knows what, but the circumstantial
evidence in the
Earth Chronicles concerning the
Nibiruans is absolutely compelling.
Where does one look for their arrival?
Answer:
In the Southern skies. The fact becomes incontrovertible once you
study Sitchin. He points out that NASA has
located a massive black object in the Southern skies, and the
recent reactivation of the telescopes in Argentina and
Chile seems to indicate a renewed interest in that
portion of the heavens. Assimilating all the findings is really
beyond the ability of any single person; however, a dedicated team
could assemble all the relevant information. Though the information
would necessarily be classified top secret, Sitchin has in
fact laid out all the secrets in the Earth Chronicles. It is
now up to us to revamp our own understanding of who we are as a
species called humans so we can, as Sitchin says, "be more
prepared when the Anunnaki arrive."
Many of us will never travel all over the world to visit the ancient
observatories. However, Sitchin has, and what he has found
concerning the placement of these observatories on the surface of
the Earth also is startling. All the observatories are
inclined to the Southern hemisphere. They also are on the
same Earth latitude. In his latest book, we learn that many of
these observatories measure exact lunar and solar rising and
settings with an accuracy unmatched by any modern measuring
equipment. The field of astronomy and astrology are made completely
understandable by Sitchin, who shows that the concept of "Divine
Time" was something these ancient astronomer priests created to
predict the arrival of their creators. Farfetched, to be sure, but
when logic and patience are afforded to Sitchin’s
conclusions, one comes away with the realization that humanity has
been misled in regards to our actual origins.
The biochemical research is especially haunting. Our entire
DNA structure is like a Contact time-release
capsule. When we were originally programmed, our
basic DNA structure was
limited to a double-helix strand. The triggering mechanism that
enables us to function as we do is affected by stellar radiation. We
are now at a place in the orbit around our central galaxy where the
radio frequencies of the center of the galaxy, as well
as many other star systems, are communicating new information to us.
The release of this information, according to Sitchin,
coincides with the next arrival of the 12th planet.
The government’s attempt to construct a Freedom Space Lab
will be aimed to ascertain the whereabouts of
Nibiru
(the 12th planet).
The
big question, of course, is what will these beings whom we have
confused with gods think of us now? In the past we were
not granted the same powers they had, but as a result of thousands
of years of genetic selection, we have in some ways become like
gods. Most all of the ancient languages have now been
deciphered, and the 22 Hebrew letters have been found to
contain information based on light generating systems. Our
understanding of torodial force fields, fibonacci series,
fractals and open topological vector spaces have been
expressed in the language of mathematics. Star fields begin to look
more like computer generated printouts than random points of
light in the night sky. If there is one thing Sitchin has
definitely accomplished, it has been to expand the human
imagination.
The legendary cultures of
Atlantis and
Lemuria no longer appear fantastic, but as
efforts of other races to survive on planet Earth. The SETI
project, the government’s official Search for
Extraterrestrial Intelligence has been cancelled, and
then reactivated by a private consortium of companies.
The most recent Mars probe completely disappeared. The
answer given to these enigmas are unsatisfactory, when weighted
against the evidence that another race of people is about to visit
our planet, as they apparently have many times in the past.
Remember, it takes Earth one year to orbit the sun. It
takes Nibiru 3,600 years, according to
Sitchin. Therefore, one year for the Nibiruans is
equal to 3,600 Earth years. He has completed all this research, he
says, to prepare us, the human race, for the return of our
creators.
The work of
Zecharia Sitchin is without
question the most mind stretching cosmology available to
date. Furthermore, it appears unchangeable academically.
