Sitchin takes the story of man and the gods a big step further in this book, which follows the Chronicle of the Earth series. Having shown that humanity did not evolve from hominids to homo sapiens unaided, and that the labor-hungry Anunnaki had overtaken evolution through genetic engineering, he now tackles the delicate subject of terrestrial-extraterrestrial communication, exploring the age-old question of the uneasy relationship between humans and by their creator(s).
The book contains the biblical stories of Enoch being taken to the heavenly abode; theophany on Mount Sinai; Sumerian stories of Adap being taken to another planet; and the Egyptian Pyramid Texts about celestial flying machines. Sitchin cites cases of prophetic dreams and three-dimensional visions as some of the means by which man has gained access to secret extraterrestrial knowledge. He further suggests that today's UFO phenomenon can be explained as an ongoing interaction between the Anunnaki and Earthlings.
Sitchin's research and fact-based theories, supported by ancient artifacts and modern maps, chronicle a spectacular and inspiring journey through history, from the dawn of time to the new millennium.
