Twelfth Planet: Book I of the Earth Chronicles (The Earth Chronicles) description
Zecharia Sitchen's The 12th Planet is the starting point on a quest that spans six books and 20 years worth of ancient aliens, genetic manipulation, and scrutiny of linguistic minutiae. If we trust Sitchen's translation abilities, we must be prepared for the imminent return of an alien race who created us some 300,0x00 years ago. The 12th Planet is perhaps the best written of Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series; full of example after example of ancient Sumerian passages, astronomical observations, archaeological finds, and technological coincidences supporting his theories. The price we pay for all this evidence is a bit of a dry read at times, but the ideas Sitchin proposes are more than scintillating enough to make up for the overtly scholastic tone of his text. --Brian Patterson |

12th Planet and a Race of Retards
|
There's a planet orbiting through the Oort cloud at the edge of our solar system which comes in close proximity to Earth every 3600 years. On this planet is an advanced race of creatures who need gold and other valuables in order to create and maintain their atmosphere. They came up with a solution - Earth. It was to us that they did a South-Central style genetic drive-by. With the seed material from Ape Men they genetically altered their DNA Structure with bits from their own to create HUMANS. Then they tasked these humans to dig up all the gold and hold it for them for when they returned.
Now, this explains all the "god sightings" throughout time. Our creators swing past, take all the gold, steal some of us for labor, perform great miracles and tell us to behave because when they come back they'll be "judgment."
It sounds like an interesting work of science fiction, if only it were. It's being marketed as nonfiction. Zecharia Sitchin makes a claim to be an ancient languages scholar and an expert on the Sumerian language and religion. If he is, it's a self-taught expertise for his actual training is as an undergraduate in economic history. He ignores mathematical evidence that refutes the 3600-year elliptical orbit hypothesis, since such a drive-by would leave a trace in our own orbital pattern.
So, we're slaves to the Anunnaki overlords from the mother planet Nibiru. We're required to give them gold and tribute, and in turn they teach us a little about morality in the form of brutal, biblical, object lessons. If amazon would let me swear in my review I would.
Our Nibiruean masters live on a cold world - except in its 3600 year brief solar drive by - so they can't have plants or animals on their planet. It's physically impossible - except that they have to have those things if we are a product of their DNA, don't you think? I mean, wouldn't it be reasonable if we are made in their image, they can't be isolated from food and warmth? Maybe if they needed our gold so freaking badly and maybe a burger and a veggie tray, they'd have left that nutty rocky world that no scientist can explain and they'd have moved in right here. Then they could've created us and overseen the mining operations for themselves. Right? Nope, they aren't that smart.
And neither is anyone who believes this tripe.
