Publisher's summary

Over the years, startling evidence has been unearthed, challenging established notions of the origins of Earth and life on it and suggesting the existence of a superior race of beings who once inhabited our world.

The product of 30 years of intensive research, The 12th Planet is the first book in Zecharia Sitchin's prophetic Earth Chronicles series - a revolutionary body of work that offers indisputable documentary proof of humanity's extraterrestrial forefathers. Travelers from the stars, they arrived eons ago, and planted the genetic seed that would ultimately blossom into a remarkable species...called Man.

The 12th Planet brings to life the Sumerian civilization, presenting millennia-old evidence of the existence of Nibiru, the home planet of the Anunnaki, and of the landings of the Anunnaki on Earth every 3,600 years, and reveals a complete history of the solar system as told by these early visitors from another planet.

Tough listen to start with

Many names make the beginning of this book really painful but, it is a very scholarly work not, a simple fictional story. I found the connections with the bible stunning and it really held my attention. Listening to this is often like reading a text book, so be warned.

Good after the first half!

If you can make it through the first 5 1/2 hours if the book, it gets interesting. He names EVERY single mythological name in human history. The last half is good.

Bel Davies should Sitchin-pronounce "Annunaki."

The narrator has chosen to do some dubious pronunciations (AnNUnki instead of Sitchin's AnnuNAHki). Sitchin's work is worthy; Bel Davies' work not...

This book can be an eye opening for Humanity

After listening to the 12th planet from Zachariah stitching and from his interpretations it makes more since to me about the history of the Earth and of mankind. his finding helps fill holes in the story's in the Bible that are not clearly explained. I feel I have a more accepting since we're Humanity came from given if even 1% is true of his findings. I feel that as though mankind is ready for the truth for all truths to come out into the open. please listen to this book with an open mind and you'll find it more enjoyable.

Confused

I love this kind of stuff, but after I bought the book, I ran into a lot of info about Sitchin. Most of the info is saying the author has been very misleading, a few saying, he’s completely making things up. So, I’m lost.
I understand arguments from both sides, but a few of the people calling Sitchin out are also believers in Ancient visitors.
So I’m confused, but I have to give this two thumbs down

Whoa, dude!

1st off, I want to be a narrator
2nd, fascinating read. even recent discoveries and theories (2 come to mind, I'm sure alot of ppl are familiar with) that totally support his translations. every transition, comparison or tie in was super smooth and logical.

Welp

Certainly gives us a few things to ponder! Remember class, information is always neutral.

If it opens you up, carry right along. If it shuts you down, toss it over your shoulder and don't look back
