Publisher's summary

A startling look into the origins of humans!

According to Sumerian scholar Zecharia Sitchin, a superior race of beings once inhabited our world. In The 12th Planet—the product of 30 years of intensive research—Sitchin persuasively argues that humanity sprang from extraterrestrial forebears. In this remarkable account, you'll hear the story of how these ancient visitors traveled to Earth from the stars and planted the genetic seed that would ultimately blossom into a remarkable species—the human being.

Thought Provoking

This book is both a scholarly work layering myth and religion with scientific information. It sounds perfectly logical and fascinating. Why not? After all, who alive can witness to the contrary? I enjoyed this book tremendously and hope Audible will bring forth more of Zecharia's books.

Great introduction to Sitchins' Sumeria.

Sitchins translation of Sumerian works is fascinating. Like the Indian Vedas ,ancient Sumeria is a science fiction movie waiting to happen.

fascinating

recount of a good theory that interlink with a lot of missing pieces in our history I believe it should be taught in schools along the other theories

an interesting take on the origins of people

This is an alternative explanation of the garden of eden and the origins of people and religions. This explanation makes just as much (non)sense as the old testament and this book is just as (un)provable. The only this explanation is that this explanation is more fun.

Rings True

Wow..It’s not a stretch at all. When presented with the hard evidence, it’s rather obvious. But packaging ALL the evidence into an easily consumable package, is/was monumental. Today, researchers are standing on Zechariah’s shoulders, and adding even more evidence…forcing the narrative on human origin to change.

Guess What

Chicken butt. The chicken came before the egg. It was a proto chicken, which laid a regular chicken egg.
