Summary: 3 Stars
Ancient Sumeria is without doubt one of the most neglected areas of historical research. In schools, it is merely glossed over. Yet the evidence that Sumeria was the foundation of today's civilization is overwhelming.
The reasons for this are probably connected to scholarly discomfort at what we have actually discovered about Sumeria. In other words, it doesn't fit our cherished presuppositions - theological, cosmological, anthropological, ethnological, scientific, and artistic. Enter Sitchin to stir things up.
Although he is much more of a scholar than Erich Von Daniken, Sitchin's premise of astronaut extraterrestrials who created humankind thru genetic manipulation clearly benefited from the earlier groundwork laid by Chariots of The Gods et al.
No matter how many times I read over his paragraphs, Sitchin only reads or translates the ancient texts as though they were courtoom depositions. Dry facts only. Ancient scribes did not use metaphor, allusion, or symbol to express their message? Apparently not.
So rather than attempting to decipher the symbolism, Sitchin interprets all of it literally. Likewise, the biblical texts. Or at least, the texts that he selects - the ones that fit. This doesn't mean that earth was not visited in the past. I find that easy to accept. Where I feel Sitchin has stretched the evidence is his in conclusion that the Annunaki created humankind. Nothing about their technical abilities, as delineated in cuneiform texts, leads me to that idea.
