{"product_id":"the-lost-realms-book-iv-9780939680849","title":"The Lost Realms (Book IV)","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Earth Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e series is based on the premise that mythology is not fanciful but the repository of ancient memories; that the Bible ought to be read literally as a historic\/scientific document; and that ancient civilizations--older and greater than assumed--were the product of knowledge brought to Earth by the Anunnaki, \"Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe 12th Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book of the series, presents ancient evidence for the existence of an additional planet in the Solar System: the home planet of the Anunnaki. In confirmation of this evidence, recent data from unmanned spacecraft has led astronomers to actively search for what is being called \"Planet X.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe subsequent volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Stairway to Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, traces man's unending search for immortality to a spaceport in the Sinai Peninsula and to the Giza pyramids, which had served as landing beacons for it--refuting the notion that these pyramids were built by human pharaohs. Recently, records by an eye witness to a forgery of an inscription by the pharaoh Khufu inside the Great Pyramid corroborated the book's conclusions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wars of Gods and Men\u003c\/i\u003e, recounting events closer to our times, concludes that the Sinai spaceport was destroyed 4,000 years ago with nuclear weapons. Photographs of Earth from space clearly show evidence of such an explosion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuch gratifying corroboration of audacious conclusions has been even swifter for \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Realms\u003c\/i\u003e. In the relatively short interval between the completion of the manuscript and its publication, archaeologists, linguists, and other scientists have offered a \"coastal theory\" in lieu of the \"frozen trekking\" one to account for man's arrival in the Americas--in ships, as this volume has concluded. These experts have \"suddenly discovered 2,000 years of missing civilization\" in the words of a Yale University scholar--confirming this book's conclusion--and are now linking the beginnings of such civilizations to those of the Old World, as Sumerian texts and biblical verses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time, the entire \u003ci\u003eEarth Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e series is now available in a hardcover collector's edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZecharia Sitchin was born in Russia and raised 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.
