Product Description
Why is it that our current twenty-first century A.D. is so similar to the twenty-first century B.C.? Is history destined to repeat itself? Will biblical prophecies come true, and if so, when? It has been more than three decades since Zecharia Sitchin's trailblazing book The 12th Planet brought to life the Sumerian civilization and its record of the Anunnaki—the extraterrestrials who fashioned man and gave mankind civilization and religion. In this new volume, Sitchin shows that the End is anchored in the events of the Beginning, and once you learn of this Beginning, it is possible to foretell the Future. In The End of Days, a masterwork that required thirty years of additional research, Sitchin presents compelling new evidence that the Past is the Future—that mankind and its planet Earth are subject to a predetermined cyclical Celestial Time. In an age when religious fanaticism and a clash of civilizations raise the specter of a nuclear Armageddon, Zecharia Sitchin shatters perceptions and uses history to reveal what is to come at The End of Days.

An amazing overview of Earth's history from B.C.E. to A.D. April 15, 2007 73 out of 89 found this review helpful
I consider it an honor to be the first reviewer of "The End of Days." I've been waiting for it since I heard Zecharia speak of it a while ago and I've already bought four copies, so you know I'm a fan. In fact, I consider Zecharia Sitchin to be on a par with Albert Einstein in terms of his genius, clarity, diligence, patience, and the courage to reveal his genius to the world. I've read this book through once and I'm starting to read it again because there is so much in this book to absorb and coordinate that I feel that I will not have gotten what Zecharia is really telling us until I know all the "players," places, and situations involved without hesitation or having to look them up. I'm already filling the pages of my own essay exploring key points raised in this book and I'm sure that once you read it you'll be as excited and ready for the future as I am. And thanks to Zecharia Sitchin for devoting his long life to the ultimate topic with such thorough and important results - this book, like all his others, has been life changing for me - the truth is in there! I hope he writes many more books. Enjoy!
The Ultimate in Earthly & Spiritual Scholarship!! April 26, 2007 48 out of 58 found this review helpful
I wrote a paper in high school on the cyclical nature of history and my teacher in advanced english gave me an A+ but commented that she had never heard of the theory before!! Well, now it is well enunciated in Mr. Sitchin's encyclopedic newest Summary-type book about the cosmos!!! And, what's more astounding, the "ancients" KNEW OF these things!! HOW DID THEY KNOW?? Well, you can get the full story from this well-documented and thorough book about our ancient history and how it is winding up into the present/close future. Why we don't learn more about these ancient Egyptian, Sumerian and Indian texts in school is a sad commentary on our current cultural/spiritual tunnel vision. Those ancient people knew of all the known planets in our current solar system.!!!! HOW DID THEY KNOW THIS?? - and the medieval church didn't have a clue!!(Is that because they burnt many books in Alexandria, considering the info heretical??) This is the Best scholarly AND entertaining book out in a long time other that Steven Greer's latest!!! The "Ancients" and the "End Times" are probably coming soon, and you should know something about them before they arrive undeniably . . .
If you haven't read any of Sitchin's books July 12, 2007 41 out of 43 found this review helpful
...but wanted to-- this is the book to read first. Or if you read all of Sitchin's books you woud like this one. He does a great job of following history and revealing the cyclical nature of the events that happened long ago and how the same events are about to repeat again in our time. After reading this book, even if one does not subscribe to the Ancient Astronauts theory, they would be hard pressed to reduce the gods to mere mythology of simple-minded people or inflate them to some Universal spirit, which was/is everywhere but needed housing, food and worshipers(workers) nonetheless. The author talks about Jesus, a topic that has been strangely missing from his other books and what lead to the messianic fervor of that time; he also does a little da Vinci code of his own, which is interesting to say the least. Sitchin explores the Mayan calendar and talks about 2012 and there is surprise at the end which I won't reveal.
Humanity's Past and It's Relation to 2012 April 19, 2007 21 out of 22 found this review helpful
To enjoy this book, you need to have read some of Sitchin's prior books and\or accept his thesis that humanity is descended from extraterrestrials. His interpretation of ancient texts is exciting though he rarely provides proof so if you're looking for a heavily footnoted scientific work, this isn't for you. For me it was an interesting companion theory to Paul LaViolette's "Earth Under Fire" and all William Henry's books on humanity's past and the meaning of 2012.
Sitchin ties it together July 20, 2007 21 out of 23 found this review helpful
After traveling in Peru, Bolivia and Central America I realized that there are far more mysteries there than answers. Archaeologists have uncovered only very small portion of the ruins there. Evidence of advanced technology, particularly at Tiwanaku, is tantalizing. All the references to these sites in Sitchin's books I saw with my own eyes. That gives him real credibility. I know of no "expert" who disputes his facts, only his conclusions.
Sitchin's gift is his ability to tie together information from diverse disciplines like linguistics, astronomy and ancient texts. He shows clear examples of how they are in agreement that have not been previously mentioned. This points to explanations that sometimes diverge from what is academically accepted. Conventional archeology is increasingly straining too hard to incorporate recent discoveries in its narrative. New scientific disciplines may soon push the envelope into a revolution in our concept of history. When that happens I suspect they will find that Sitchen was on the right path already.
I don't agree with everything Sitchin writes, but do appreciate this book's synthesis of knowledge. It is thought provoking and well written. Unless you've read some of his previous books it may be difficult to grasp his overall concept. I highly recommend it.
