The groundbreaking, bestselling series--millions of copies sold worldwide!

A classic of ancient human history--and one of the inspirations behind the History Channel's Ancient Aliens--Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series is the revelatory and deeply provocative masterwork that forever altered humankind's view of our history and our destiny.

Thousands of years ago, the Earth was a battlefield. These were the wars that would shape man's destiny--terrible conflicts that began lifetimes earlier on another planet.

Parting the mists of time and myth, the internationally renowned scholar Zecharia Sitchin takes us back in this volume to the violent beginnings of the human story, when gods--not men--ruled the Earth.

In a spellbinding reconstruction of epic events preserved in legends and ancient writings, he traces the conflicts that began on another world, continued on Earth, and culminated in the use of nuclear weapons--an event recorded in the Bible as the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sitchin, Zecharia

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.
