:
In DIVINE ENCOUNTERS Zecharia Sitchin draws on basic Judeo-Christian texts to analyse the creation myths paralleling Biblical stories to the myths of Sumer and Mesopotamia in order to show that humanity did not evolve without assistance.Sitchin daringly hypothesises instead that Enki one of the leaders of the Anunnaki from the 12th planet created humanity as a primitive worker.Furthermore Sitchin suggests that the extraterrestrial encounters of today demonstrate the continued interest of the Anunnaki in the Earthlings they created¨ Challenges scientific maxims of the basis of human life¨ Draws fascinating parallels between the leaders of the Anunnaki (from the 12th Planet) and Yahweh¨ A comprehensive new look at the history of man¨

Review quote:
“An extremely thought-provoking book that chronicles the fascinating history we humans have. . . . Sitchin shows us how vast and mysterious our human origins are, and what we might expect if and when the Anunnaki come back for a return visit.”
Review quote:
“Sitchin”s works are outstandingly different from all others that present this central theme.

Review quote:
“In Sitchin”s well referenced works, we witness how his towering intellect . . . allow him visionary access to ancient works in their original languages.”

Excerpt:
Divine Encounters are the ultimate human experience–the maximal, the utmost possible when alive, as when Moses encountered the Lord upon Mount Sinai; and the final, terminal, and conclusive, as that of Egyptian Pharaohs who at death assumed an eternal Afterlife by joining the gods in their Divine Abode.
The human experience of Divine Encounters as recorded in scriptures and text from the ancient Near East is a most amazing and fascinating saga. It is a powerful drama that spans Heaven and Earth, involving worship and devotion, eternity and morality on the one hand, and love and sex, jealousy and murder on the other; ascents unto spac
