"Reflects the highest levels of scientific knowledge . . ." * Science & Religion News * "Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and compelling." * Library Journal * "One of the most important books on Earth's roots ever written." * East West Journal * "Sitchin is a zealous investigator into man's origins . . . a dazzling performance." * Kirkus Reviews * "For thousands of years priests, poets, and scientists have tried to explain how man was created. Now a recognized scholar has come forth with a theory that is the most astonishing of all." * United Press International * "Utilizing the Bible (which Sitchin also provides some Hebrew words and the English mis-translations), Sumerian clay tablets and/or cylinders, as well as some other ancient texts, the author presents his case of how man (modern day humans) came to be. . . . I recommend this book for those who are interested in aliens, ancient history, and for those who can handle a lot of detailed information. I enjoyed the book." * Jan, Reality Undefined, June 2010 * "Drawing on a vast range of scholarship as well has his [Zechariah Sitchin] grasp of ancient languages and archaeology, he asserts that two of the tombs of Ur contained the remains of an Annunaki goddess Puabi, which actually still exist in the Natural History Museum. . . an intriguing story." * The Scientific & Medical Network, UK, December 2010 *
