The Lost Book of Enki: Memoirs and Prophecies of an Extraterrestrial god
There are few true geniuses writing books we can understand and only one writing about a subject so vitally important to every human being, i.e., we cannot know where we are going if we do not know where we have come from. Now, thanks to a lifetime of dedication worthy of the greatest researchers and detectives of all time, all of Zecharia Sitchin's books and especially "The Lost Book of Enki," are available to provide plausable answers to the hundreds of questions traditional "science" and "archaeology" and biblical "scholars" cannot or refuse to answer at all, let alone satisfactorily. I think I understand why some of his fans are having trouble with "The Lost Book of Enki." They think they understand his work to the point where having it all presented in one book, and in a mytho-poetic style, no less, seems to be a rehash of what they've read. Well, they may be geniuses, themselves, because I've read all of the books twice and am one of about two dozen alumni of all of Zecharia's far flung teaching intensives, and yet I feel that I needed to read "The Lost Book of Enki" to really have a good grasp of the material and to feel it "breathe," to be mytho-poetic, myself. What a thrill to finally understand the actual basis for the seemingly ungrounded words, themes, and stories of the bible.
There are also a few facts mentioned in passing that should have blown the mind of anyone who has read all the books. It should be realized that NO ONE knows Zecharia's work the way he knows it and anyone who knows him realizes what a gift this book is to the many people who have literally begged him to put it all together in one book.
So, as they say to anyone considering the study of the Kabalah, make sure that you are ready to have all of your preconceived notions, especially those about the bible and our creation, seriously dislodged. If you want the ride of your life, then read on. I know my life would have been quite the poorer had I not read all of Zecharia's works, especially "The Lost Book of Enki." |
Two recent discoveries by astronomers in the fast-expanding field of Extrasolar Planets challenge scientists to rethink current theories, according to published reports.
In both instances a smiling Zecharia Sitchin says, The Sumerians did tell you so!
The latest buzz in the scientific community and the media concerns a discovery, reported in the journal Science of 11 July 2003, of a giant planet amid a cluster of primitive stars. The discovery, Science reported, is challenging one of astronomers' pet notions. It's a big shock, said the leader of the team of astronomers, astrophysicist Steinn Sigurdsson of Pennsylvania State University. The discovery, based on measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope, challenges scientists to rethink theories of how, when and where planets form, explained the science editor of The New York Times.
Nicknamed Methuselah Planet, the newly discovered planet is almost three times as old as Earth. It is the oldest extra solar planet so far discovered; it is almost as old as the Universe itself; and its discovery unsettles current theories about how and when planets could form around stars (suns).
The real issue: When and Where Life Began
But why is this so shocking (especially since other findings, reported in May 2003, had already suggested that planets began to form earlier than astronomers believe)? To find out why the shock-effect extends beyond the astrophysical community one has to read the scientists’ conclusions:
This implies that planet formation is more widespread and has happened earlier than previously believed. What's more, Sigurdsson noted, ancient planets would mean that life has had 5 billion or 6 billion years longer to appear than astronomers expected.
That life happened out there much before than on Earth that is the shocking part of the new discovery
Ancient Knowledge Corroborated
This admission is music to my ears. In my very first book The 12th Planet and then in Genesis Revisited, I asserted that the well known Sumerian /Akkadian Epic of Creation (Enuma Elish) has to be treated not as mythical allegory but as a sophisticated cosmogony; and that the challenger that appeared at the edge of our solar system, coming from outer space, was a planet ejected from another distant solar system. This entailed recognition by the authors of the ancient text that there are other solar systems in the universe with their own planets a notion held impossible by astronomers until a few years ago. It entailed the notion that stars and their planetary systems could explode, ejecting a planet to journey in space another revolutionary astronomical aspect only recently accepted; and it entailed the even more challenging idea, that life exists elsewhere in the universe and could have and did evolve earlier than on Earth.
The seed of life what we now call DNA was brought into our solar system by the invader (Nibiru in Sumerian, Marduk to the Babylonians) and was transmitted to Earth during the collision with Tiamat (of which Earth is the remnant).
All those three incredibly advanced and sophisticated cosmological-scientific aspects of ancient knowledge are now corroborated by the just-announced findings.
A Tiamat Discovered?
According to Enuma Elish as interpreted by me, Sumerian cosmogony (or rather the Anunnaki who had told the Sumerians) held that our planetary system began with a messenger-planet near the Sun (Mercury) and a larger planet called Tiamat that orbited where the Asteroid Belt is now. In the next phase, the two inner planets that we call Mars and Venus formed between Tiamat and the Sun; and after that, the outer planet formed in pairs; Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Drawn into the center of that early solar system, the invader Nibiru/Marduk was fated to collide with Tiamat. One half of her was shattered and became the Asteroid Belt; the other more intact half was thrown into a new orbit and became the planet Earth.
A week before the announcement by the U. Penn team (described above), a team of British, Australian and American astronomers announced the discovery of a solar system similar to ours in the constellation Puppis. There, in what is the closest resemblance to Earth's solar system yet found in outer space, a Jupiter-like planet circles a sun-like star in an orbit that corresponds to one halfway between Mars and Jupiter in our own system.
The New York Times (7 July 2003) accompanied the report with a diagram showing the positions of the Sun, the Earth, Mars and Jupiter in our solar system, compared to a superimposed sketch of the newfound solar system with a planet, in a circular orbit, between Mars and Jupiter.
Astronomers and reporters found the discovery exciting because the findings suggest that the solar system might also include an Earthlike planet.
I find it exciting because, as my readers know, in our solar system, there indeed was a planet precisely between Mars and Jupiter: TIAMAT; and were it not for the collision, it would still be there.
Once again, what the Sumerians learnt from the Anunnaki is proven right.
