The Wars of Gods and Men (Book III)

The Earth Chronicles series, in six volumes, delves into the history and prehistory of Earth and humankind. Each book in the series, based on information inscribed on clay tablets by the ancient civilisations of the Near East, documents the fantastic and real battles that occurred between the original creator gods over control of planet Earth.

Asserting the premise that mythology is not fanciful but a repository of ancient memories, The Earth Chronicles suggests that the Bible should be read literally as a historic/scientific document, proposing that ancient civilisations—older and greater than assumed—were the products of knowledge brought to Earth by the Anunnaki, "Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came."

The 12th Planet, the first book of the series, presents ancient evidence for the existence of an additional planet in the Solar System: the home planet of the Anunnaki. Confirming this evidence, recent data from unmanned spacecraft have led astronomers to search actively for what is being called "Planet X."

The subsequent volume, The Stairway to Heaven, traces humanity's unending search for immortality to a spaceport in the Sinai Peninsula and to the Giza pyramids, which served as landing beacons for it. This refutes the notion that these pyramids were built by human pharaohs. Recently, records by an eyewitness to a forgery of an inscription by the Pharaoh Khufu inside the Great Pyramid corroborated the book's conclusions.

In The Wars of Gods and Men, the third volume of his series, Zecharia Sitchin recounts events closer to our time, concluding that the Sinai spaceport was destroyed 4,000 years ago with nuclear weapons. Photographs of Earth from space clearly show evidence of such an explosion. The Wars of Gods and Men additionally incorporates Canaanite, Hittite, and Hindu sources, including investigations into incidents such as The Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sitchin's unique re-examination of ancient mysteries explains these past cataclysmic events in the history of humanity, providing insights into our future.
