An in-depth analysis of Sitchin’s revelations about the Anunnaki, early humanity, and Earth’s future • Examines Sitchin’s research into the Anunnaki arrival on Earth, the lineage of the Nefilim, their space travel technology, and their creation of modern humans • Written by longtime Sitchin friend and colleague M. J. Evans, Ph.D., and draws upon her research and personal discussions with Sitchin • Explores the lust and lovemaking relationships of the Nefilim and suggests we inherited our warlike and love making tendencies from them Known for his provocative interpretations of ancient Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets, Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) read the words of our most ancient ancestors as fact and, through decades of meticulous research, showed that these ancient tablets revealed a coherent narrative about the extraterrestrial inhabitants of Earth and the origins of modern humanity. Drawing upon her many conversations with Zecharia Sitchin over nearly 20 years, M. J. Evans, Ph.D., longtime Sitchin friend and colleague, provides an in-depth analysis of Sitchin’s revelations about the Anunnaki, focusing on Anunnaki activities on Earth and Earth’s future. She explores the genesis of Sitchin’s interest in the Nefilim, the leaders of the Anunnaki, and the controversy caused by the publication of Sitchin’s first book, The 12th Planet . She examines Sitchin’s research into the Nefilim family tree, the Anunnaki arrival on Earth to mine gold to repair the atmosphere on their planet, Nibiru, and their creation of modern humans as workers for their mines and to build their civilization on Earth. She shows how, in the context of 21st-century technological capabilities, Sitchin’s work casts a different light on ancient events, with implications for our future. The author reveals the details of the love and lust proclivities of the Nefilim gods Anu, Enlil, and Enki and the goddess Ishtar/Inanna and shows how we inherited these tendencies from our Anunnaki creators as well as their use of war for problem solving. Concluding with an examination of Sitchin’s prediction of a nuclear event on Earth in our modern era, she shows how we would be repeating the aggressive warlike behaviors of our Anunnaki creators, who may very well become our saviors when Nibiru next returns to our solar system. “No other modern thinker has offered a more compelling, coherent, and influential explanation of humanity’s origins than Zecharia Sitchin. Millions of people make sense of the human experience through the lens of his discoveries and findings. Now, thankfully, M. J. Evans has done us all the favor of distilling Sitchin’s work into a very readable compendium. We should all be very grateful.” ― John L. Petersen, futurist, author, and publisher of FUTUREdition M. J. EVANS, Ph.D., (1933-2022) was a professor emeritus at SUNY Empire State College, where she taught environmental geography for 30 years. A friend and colleague of Zecharia Sitchin for nearly 20 years, she accompanied Sitchin on several tours to ancient sites in the Mediterranean region, Europe, and Mexico and had appeared on the TV show Ancient Aliens to discuss Sitchin’s work. She spent most of each year in Turkey, where she studied ancient sites and landscapes. Chapter 3 The Creation of Earthlings How did humans come to live on Earth? This question is challenging--wrapped as it is in debate. It also is as exciting a question as it is captivating. This query’s wording presumes that a human species lived elsewhere in the universe and someone or something brought humanoid life here. Could that be possible? Or are there other explanations to be found for human existence on planet Earth? While Zecharia Sitchin does not entertain this question in just the way we first posed it, his research into the ancient clay tablet writings does tell us “All the Sumerian texts assert that the gods created Man.” Also the biblical evidence indicates that man was not a god nor was he created in the heavens. It was clear that while humans lacked the godly characteristics of “knowing” and “longevity,” they were “in all other respects created in the image ( selem ) and likeness ( dmut ) of [their] Creator(s). The use of both terms in the text was meant to leave no doubt that Man was similar to the God(s) both physically and emotionally, externally and internally.” These comments are very enlightening. However, Sitchin goes on to wonder “how could a new creature possibly be a virtual physical, mental, and emotional replica of the Nefilim? How, indeed, was Man created?” We will follow a fact-focused exploration into Sitchin’s research to see where it leads and what we can learn about this fascinating topic of the creation of humans . The Debate about Our Origins Undoubtedly, knowing the origins of the human species that now populate planet Earth is important. This topic has been long studied by physical anthropologists, genetic scientists, and others curious about ho
