How were the ancients able to accurately describe details about our solar system that are only now being revealed by deep space probes
The awesome answers are all here, in this important companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series. Having presented evidence of an additional planet as well as voluminous information about the other planets in our solar system, Zecharia Sitchin now shows how the discoveries of modern astrophysics, astronomy, and genetics exactly parallel what has already been revealed in ancient texts regarding the "mysteries" of alchemy and the creation of life. Genesis Revisited is a mind-boggling revelation sure to overturn current theories about the origins of humankind and the solar system.
"Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and compelling." * Library Journal *
"Sitchin's works are outstandingly different from all others that present this central theme. His linguistic skills in the languages of antiquity and his pursuit of the earliest available texts and artifacts make possible the wealth of photographs and line drawings appearing in his books from tablets, monuments, murals, pottery, and seals." * Rosemary Decker, historian and researcher *
"Sitchin is a zealous investigator into man's origins . . . a dazzling performance." * Kirkus Reviews *
" . . . a mind-boggling revelation sure to overturn current theories about the origins of humankind and the solar system." * Suzette, reviewer, sci-encebooksarchaeology.blogspot.com, Dec 2008 *
