lost rea: Book IV of the Earth Chronicles (Earth Chronicles, 4)

This is Book IV in the series. The previous 3 primarily covered Sumeria and that geographical area. This book is the first to delve into Meso- America.As with the other volumes, this one ties Mexico, Central & South America into the theme which runs through all the books: the "gods" or entities from another planet, Marduk, came to Earth looking for gold to stabilize their planet's atmosphere, then genetically engineered Adam, the earthling, mated with human women, and the resulting semi-gods civilized the planet, imparting to humans the advanced knowledge of astronomy, etc.Sitchin's premise is backed by the Bible, mythology, written history, astronomy, and archeological findings. One of the most startling discoveries is that when the Meso-Americans wrote of a day when the sun did not rise in the sky - not an eclipse, but an entire day - he found documentation on the other side of the globe where the inhabitants wrote of a day when the sun filled the sky for 24 hours. It was even mentioned in the Bible. If that doesn't get your attention that there is something to this...No other series of books I've read ties everything together with the clarity that Sitchin does. You may not believe everything he writes, but it is hard to argue when it is supported by this much data.

I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY SO I COPYED SOMETHING Of course all this jiggling and joggling of body is caused by an unquiet, uncontrolled mind, in a cure for it lies in quieting, controlling and restful erecting the mind. I have found no aid so great as that of making the mind follow the body movements. The motion of an awning mind are not only very jerky and wasteful but they are exceedingly quick. Such a mind vibrates with the speed again destructiveness of lightning, and the owner simply cannot compel it to be absolute be quiet. But he can direct as well as to a very great extent. By directing the mind to follow the body motions, which are infinitely slower than mental motions, he can accomplish great things to ward quieting the line. By a little practice the mind catches a slower, more regular vibrations of the body, after which it is quite possible still further quiet it to a complete standstill as in making the mind a blank.

Every book in the Earth Chronicles series is a delight to read. You may not agree with all of Sitchin's theories regarding Nibiru and the Anunnaki, but his chronology of ancient history and global events is spot-on, and his understanding of Sumerian mythology and language is impeccable. Regardless of the personal conclusions you arrive at after reading his work, I can certainly guarantee that you will also come away with a much greater sense of possibility for our ancient past, and the realization that there is much, much more to our history than we've ever been led to believe. In my opinion, it is the great work of researchers like Zecharia Sitchin and others that will ultimately bridge the gap between evolution and creationism, and finally reveal to us the long-hidden truths about our celestial origins.

Another great book by Sitchin. This one focuses a bit more on the Myan culture, as apposed to the Sumerians or Egyptians. These books(The Earth Chronicles) are very informative and Sitchin really did his homework, along with travelling the world to back up what he wrote. He has since passed, but his work lives on. I highly recommend these if you're into 'Ancient Aliens'. On the lines of Erich Von Daniken's work. Both authors shared the same ideas-that mankind was genetically created by extraterrestrials thousands of years ago.

Idk if it's just my copy, but the binding was really cheap and a bunch of pages kept falling out as I read. Still good content in the book itself tho.

It is not a stretch in connecting both worlds, especially with so many artifacts and documentary evidence that there was an advanced civilization prior to the great deluge. I really enjoy The Lost Realms and the way Sitchin correlate biblical writings with events recorded in the Old and New World.

A must read for anyone with an inkling of curiosity of early human history - especially that depicted by popular religious beliefs and testaments. I am reading book four of the seven volumes written by the author. The detail fills in a lot of the historical blanks passed down over the centuries, some deliberately hidden by political and religious agendas. Go figure!

This man was pure genius! This is one of several in a series of his that is a MUST read if you are into a unique way of thinking or outlook on life!

Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series is an incredible and great read, although if you read the entire series in order, as I have, it gets a little repetitive, because he retells the information he knows over and over again throughout the series, he does this to ensure that you can read any one of his books as stand-alone works of literature and still get all the main points, he definitely knows his stuff well, I find his condensation and presentation of the material of the Old Testament especially useful for someone like me who has an avid interest in sacred scriptures, he give a concise re-telling of all the major points in order in the Biblical Story, from the origins of the Book of Genesis, Tower of Babel, and story of Noah in older Sumerian sources, through the Moses and the Exodus, up to King Solomon, and then on from there. He's not right (in my opinion) about a few small details here and there, and I can't yet figure out how to fit together his work and Graham Hancock's quite properly, but they both place the deluge at around 10,000 B.C. which corresponds with Gobeki Tepe discoveries that report the same catastrophic world-event, Sitchin purports that an ice-sheet fell off Antarctica causing the global flood, Hancock reports multiple meteorite/asteroid impacts in the Northern Polar ice cap, (which melted out what is now Canada), but they both agree on the date. I have theorized that perhaps the fragments of Tiamat are still following Nibiru and when it passes nearest to our planet, that may be responsible for the impacts Hancock describes, Sitchin claims the gravitational force of Nibiru caused the already teetering ice-sheet to slip, maybe both happened at the same time? The only other problems I have with his work are that if the "seed of life" was passes from Nibiru onto what is now Earth (half of Tiamat in new orbit), how did that happen, they say that the satellites (moon/s) of Nibiru crashed into Tiamat, cleaving it in half and leaving behind the asteroid belt, so how did the seeds of life transfer from Nibiru to Earth without the planets colliding? And if they did collide, wouldn't such an event be enough to wipe out life on both planets? I mean the multiple impacts described by Hancock alone were enough to cause an extinction level event, more powerful than all of the nuclear warheads currently on Earth combined, so I have issues with that thesis. And the other point is that he goes on in this book to state that the Native Americans inhabiting the "New World" (Americas) were possibly descendants of the line of Cain, which is more or less forgotten about as far as the Biblical scriptures are concerned. But it that's the case, how did they survive the global flood? Sitchin has the three sons of Noah (Zisudra in Sumerian) re-populating the three main areas of the globe (did he have daughters too, or did more than just Noah/Zisudra and his wife survive the flood? This is unclear, or where did the wives of Noah's/Zisudra's sons come from?), which is satisfactory in many senses, being that Sitchin supports his religious/scriptural arguments with the most current scientific data at the time of the writing of the book. But I'm wondering then how did the line of Cain (Noah is from the line of Shem, I think, maybe that is wrong) survive the global flood? Were they pre-warned on the other side of the world too, or were some of the high enough in the mountains, like in Manchu Picchu or something? Hancock describes another Noah like tale among a certain tribe of Canadian Indians, in which a boat, similar to the ark, lands on some mountain peaks on Vancouver Island (where I live) paralleling the Biblical tale, but on the other side of the world. Did they happen together in parallel? It would make sense to head for the mountain peaks after such dramatic sea level rises. Or are these two versions of the same myth? Because the Bible states that only Noah and the people with him survived the Flood (Sumerian the same, just Zisudra instead), so in that case how could the Americas still be populated by the line of Cain? The theory reported by Mr. Hancock is that Noah's ark was actually an underground city, (one such has been found near Turkey, close to Noah's whereabouts) within which people dwelt underground for the 2,000 years or so it took for the debris cloud to settle down that was blocking out the sun after the impacts. The Tarot Card, The Last Judgement depicts people arising to the light from coffins, or tombs, with grey skin, i have suggested that this depicts the emergence of humanity from the underground city after 2,000 years, which would be enough generations for our skin to have turned grey, and our eye-sight was probably pretty bad, consider how blinding it would be to emerge out of the underground darkness into the bright light of day. Plat's cave analogy could be, in fact, true history, which he either veiled allegorically for some reasons, perhaps to keep it a secret somewhat, or that the metaphor arose spontaneously from the collective unconscious into his mind, finding expression through the philosopher and his writings, bringing the ancestral memory of the species into conscious, or maybe just subconscious level of awareness. (Repressed content has a tendency to try to surface under the right conditions, especially such dramatic events as these, which would have been very traumatic for the human race as a hole, similar to trauma that is repressed by patients with neurosis, or with difficult pasts. So it makes me wonder if Noah's ark story happened in a boat in one place on the Earth, or simultaneously in two or more places around the globe, or was just a corruption or something of the story of the cave. I tend towards the cave theory because I believe that a lot of ancient knowledge, somewhat secret is contained in the Tarot, stuff dating as far back as Atlantis and further back yet, to the very beginnings. But then again, if the survivors of the human race were all living in an underground city, how did the people in the America's survive? More underground cities? So the same thing happening in multiple locations again? Because if Noah is from the line of Shem (is that right?) then the American Indians cannot be of the line of Cain, unless there were two underground cities. No one is certain, at least to my knowledge, but the work of these two scholars are both valid and needs to be considered. No one could have survived on the surface, and instead of having animals two-by-two, genetic DNA samples would have been taken by the Annunaki of the animals, or they had the originals from when Enki created various beings in the E-DIN. That's enough about all that, the only other things I find lacking in Sitchin's work is a run through of Indian (Vedic) scriptures and history such as the Mahabharata, which I take to be also historical, and I believe stems from the same origin as Western system, for example your have Krishna and Arjuna an Christ and John, Abraham (A Brahmin) and Brahma, as well as the War between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness, found in both the Bharata and the writings of the Zoroastrians, who largely influenced the Essenes, and therefore the three main Abhramic (Western/Occidental) religions/world histories.

Slowly but surely getting there, really enjoying the series's would recommend if you have enjoyed the others then don't stress you'll get there.

Das Buch ist sehr aufschlussreich, da es die Hochkulturen der Azteken, Maya und Inca beschreibt und die Parallelen mit den Hochkulturen zwischen Euphrat und Tigris aufzeigt. Sicher lesenswert.

Up to the expected Sitchin standard of original interpretation via scholarly means. Sitchin clarifies the mysteries and puzzles of the ancient world in an exceptional and convincing way. My collection of his work is now complete again with this volume replacing my original copy which was lent and lost!!!
