Over the years, startling evidence has been uncovered, challenging established notions of the origins of life on Earth—evidence that suggests the existence of an advanced group of extraterrestrials who once inhabited our world.

The first book of the revolutionary Earth Chronicles series offers indisputable documentary evidence of the existence of the mysterious planet Nibiru and tells why its astronauts came to Earth eons ago to fashion mankind in their image.

The product of more than thirty years of meticulous research, The 12th Planet treats as fact, not myth, the tales of Creation, the Deluge, the Tower of Babel, and the Nefilim who married the daughters of man. By weaving together the biblical narrative with Sumerian and Babylonian clay-tablet texts, it challenges the established notions of the origins of Earth and mankind, and offers a compelling alternative history and prehistory of both.

About the Author

Zecharia Sitchin is an internationally acclaimed author and researcher whose books offer evidence that we are not alone in our own solar system. One of a handful of scholars able to read the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, he has combined archaeology, ancient texts, and the Bible with the latest scientific discoveries to retell the history and prehistory of mankind and planet Earth. His trailblazing books have been translated into more than twenty languages; his first one, an oft-quoted classic, celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of its publication. A graduate of the University of London and a journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he now lives and writes in New York.

Do your research on Stitchin. I bought this book after a friend recommended it. I ended up donating after learning more about the author and his affiliations. It’s a matter of opinion whether you like the content; remember that counterintelligence and manipulation are real.

Thank God for common sense!

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

This should be required reading for anyone studying anthropology, theology, or archeology. It changed my entire perspective on questions of religion. The very logical approach Mr. Sitchin used to interpret the ancient texts leaves little doubt that the scientific interpretations accepted today need to be completely discarded. They fail to answer so many obvious discrepancies. Worse than that, there seems to be a conspiracy to mislead and distract the common people. Mr. Sitchin's theories are based on obvious similarities between modern technology and the mythical creatures and deities described in ancient tales. His interpretation of Sumerian and texts fit nicely with the physical artifacts and monuments in the Middle East. It's not a coincidence that many prehistoric cultures relate epic stories using similar events, similar mythical creatures, similar gods and goddesses, and similar cosmic phenomena. Their attributes could very logically apply to those of modern machines, modern technology, and modern human personalities. Those who vehemently deny that our technology could have existed in a more refined state long ago, and has merely been rediscovered, are either arrogant or simple-minded. Additionally, the idea that the human race is much older than we've been taught is also a very real possibility. This isn't a fringe conspiracy book about ETs. On the contrary. It's a reintroduction to common sense; something not so common these days. Thanks for reading.

One of the Best Books I've Read EVER

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

WOW What a read this book helps make sense of the Bible and in fact shows that the Bible is a True yet watered down account of what actually took place at the dawn of civilization. This read is absolutely one of the best accounts I've found so far and a Must read it clears up many questions that are left unanswered in the Bible. I come away from this enlightened as will you

I have been questioning the western account of our past since I was a teen. There were too many issues that did not fit. Myquestioning goes as deep as the Bible itself. After researching Mr. Sitchin, and his accusations, there is much more logic in his given account of the beginning than anything else I have come across.

Life-changing translations of ancient texts are not for "light" readers

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book and its companion volumes changed my life over the course of the 4-5 years that it took me to read all of Sitchin's books (known collectively as "The Earth Chronicles" of which "The 12th Planet" is the first). From the beginning I was struck by how the books made so much sense. Relegated to sci-fi sections in bookstores, Sitchin's research and writings are obviously a threat to the version of history and religion to which we have all been subjected over the last few hundred years. Far from being conspiratorial, however, Sitchin is careful to describe his own writings as translations of the texts that he spent his life transcribing, leaving it up to the reader to relate these translations to contemporary memes. With the utmost respect for Sitchin as scholar and writer, I am the first to admit that reading them was not easy and may more appropriately attract an academically-inclined reader. It took my full concentration over a period of many months to get through the volumes and keep all the players straight across each volume (taking notes as I went along helped immensely). That said, "The 12th Planet" is appropriately the first and by far the most important and most comprehensive of the series. I am aware of only a few people who have attempted to condense these volumes into an easy-to-read 'clif's notes' type review of Sitchin's books, and though the 2-3 I've come across were no doubt helpful, they could never substitute for taking the time to truly immerse yourself in the work and study these translations. Highly recommend for those with time and interest.

Not Worth The Effort

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am a fan of the Ancient Aliens series and have just finished Chariots of the Gods by Eric Von Daniken, which was a really informative read, so I have some underpinning understanding of this subject. 1/3 of the way through this book and just can’t carry on. Firstly, the type is small and faded and gave me a headache trying to read it. Secondly, the paper is cheap and nasty and thirdly, what a boring read. It just doesn’t flow and is so very disjointed in parts. I found myself having to reread paragraphs over to work out what he was trying to illustrate - really hard work and I do not class myself as a thickie!

Interesting but take with a pinch of salt

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

I like reading this kind of stuff because it gives me new things to go off an investigate for myself. But as with all of the author's books, you have to take the material with a pinch of salt. Others have commented that the translations are not entirely accurate, are incomplete, a stretch, etc. I don't know about that but I would say some things don't make sense from a plain common sense point of view. For instance, there is zero evidence for extra terrestrials here. There may be evidence that an ancient civilisation on Earth became technically advanced. I do think there is an element of fitting facts to a theory, rather than a theory to the facts.

Thought provoking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book about the 12th planet and the source of where the idea of God came from is totally enthralling. The book must have taken an age to research and is written in a manner that is understandable and easy to read. Yes the book was written an age ago but this does not deter from the facts in it. This book made me think of modern religion in a completely different way. You may not agree with his arguments but they are food for thought at the very least. Cannot wait to read his next installment of the "story".

Incredible a must read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2020

Incredible how did I not hear of this before. Amazing eye opening facts on every page. Sitchin has been criticised online but none of it is fundamental to the majority of facts he brings up. This book confirms many of the otherwise outlandish Old Testament stories and makes them very plausible. Prepare yourself for a new way of thinking.

A Mind Set Changer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2018

The author as a scholar, delves into the possible, plausible & probable.
Even for the most ardent religious person, a new perspective might be reached.
My opinion on the old testament of the bible has been changed by this book.
It's shown to have encoded information within.
My opinion on the new testament hasn't altered though.
Highly recommended for the serious thinker with an open mind.
