The Earth Chronicles Handbook ─ A Comprehensive Guide to the Seven Books of the Earth Chronicles

Offering detailed information about the myriad characters and subjects covered by The Earth Chronicle series, this book provides an encyclopedic compendium of the myths and events from humanity's ancient civilizations, revealing how visitors from the 12th planet--the Anunnaki, came to earth.

Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010), an eminent Orientalist and biblical scholar, was born in Russia and grew up in Palestine, where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and archaeology of the Near East. A graduate of the University of London with a degree in economic history, he worked as a journalist and editor in Israel for many years prior to undertaking his life’s work--The Earth Chronicles.

One of the few scholars able to read the clay tablets and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian, Sitchin based The Earth Chronicles series on the texts and pictorial evidence recorded by the ancient civilizations of the Near East. His books have been widely translated, reprinted in paperback editions, converted to Braille for the blind, and featured on radio and television programs.
