Early Life
Zecharia Sitchin was born into a Jewish family in the city of Baku, which was then part of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic within the Soviet Union.
In 1939, at the age of 19, Sitchin began his academic journey at the University of London. This period coincided with World War II. His study of economic history exposed him to concepts and theories surrounding the economic factors that shaped civilizations.
Sitchin continued his education and successfully completed his studies in 1947.
Discoveries
The impact of war and the defeat of nazism, Made Sitchin to travel to Egypt and Iran to find prove against theories of alien astronauts and extraterrestrial beings, and their influence on human history.
The impact of war and the desire for concrete evidence led him to delve deeper into ancient texts and tablets in search of substantiation for his claims.
Contrary to his initial expectations, Sitchin reportedly uncovered evidence that seemed to challenge his own theories. He stumbled upon tablets and texts that referred to the Anunnaki and their celestial home as Nibiru.
In the scientific community, the discovery of evidence, whether aligning with one’s expectations or not, is considered significant. Sitchin, confronted with these conflicting findings, faced a dilemma that demanded intellectual honesty and a reassessment of his theories.
The quest for evidence ultimately led to a reevaluation of his theories and a deeper exploration of the complex web of ancient texts.
The 12th Planet
Following his travels and discoveries, Zecharia Sitchin settled in the United States in 1952, becoming a naturalized citizen. His relocation provided him with a platform to further study his discoveries on the Anunnaki.
In 1976, Sitchin achieved a significant milestone with the publication of his groundbreaking book, “The 12th Planet.” This work marked the beginning of his Earth Chronicles series and served as the launching pad for his theories about the extraterrestrial origins of the Anunnaki. In “The 12th Planet,” Sitchin elaborated on his understanding of babylonian texts, presenting a twelfth planet in our solar system, Nibiru, home to the Anunnaki.
Sitchin adopted the pagan version of the Anunnaki but also changed them as ancient alien astronauts who visited Earth from Nibiru, exerting a profound influence on human civilization. He proposed that these beings possessed advanced knowledge and technology, engaging in genetic engineering and establishing early human societies. Sitchin’s narrative painted a picture of an ancient astronaut culture that shaped humanity’s evolution and influenced religious beliefs and societal structures.
Sitchin VS Religion
“The 12th Planet” stirred both attention and controversy. While some enthusiasts embraced Sitchin’s ideas, captivated by the notion of ancient astronauts shaping human history, others, particularly within religious circles, vehemently criticized him.
The Christian Churches labeled him an agent of the devil, accusing him of promoting beliefs contrary to biblical teachings, while also branding him as an atheist.
In the eyes of Christian-influenced scientists, Sitchin’s theories were met with derision and mockery in public forums. Comments such as, “Little green people created the pyramids and humans, can you believe this guy ? ” reflected the dismissive tone adopted by skeptics within both the religious and scientific communities.
Despite facing opposition, the publication of “The 12th Planet” marked a pivotal moment in Sitchin’s career, the ensuing volumes in the Earth Chronicles series, including “The Stairway to Heaven,” “The Wars of Gods and Men,” and “The Lost Realms,” expanded on Sitchin’s works, he skillfully wove together elements of archaeological discoveries to construct a comprehensive narrative of extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs.
While Sitchin’s ideas faced criticism, they also found a dedicated audience fascinated by the prospect of ancient astronauts influencing human development. The controversy surrounding his work added layers to the ongoing debates about the intersection of science, religion, and human history. Sitchin’s impact reached beyond academic circles, resonating with a broader audience intrigued by the possibility of unconventional explanations for the mysteries of our past.
Debate
In 1989, Zecharia Sitchin at the center of New York during a lecture, presented his discoveries alongside scientists. The lecture hall buzzed with anticipation as Sitchin openly supported the idea that the Anunnaki had visited Earth in the ancient past and engaged in wars with human civilizations. His assertions included their involvement in genetic engineering, mining operations, and the establishment of early human societies.
Sitchin, armed with photos extracted from ancient tablets spanning cultures in China, Iran, and Egypt, argued that these depictions provided tangible evidence of the Anunnaki’s influence on Earth. The visuals showcased scenes of extraterrestrial beings interacting with humans, reinforcing Sitchin’s narrative of advanced cosmic-galactic overlords.
Sitchin contended that the Anunnaki were the gods referenced in ancient mythologies. He suggested that these beings were defeated by humans, with the Anunnaki departing the world aboard their spaceship.
Despite Sitchin’s presentation, the academic community remained skeptical. Scholars, historians, and archaeologists, who had long criticized him for inaccuracies, mistranslations, and misinterpretations in his analysis of ancient texts, continued to question the validity of his evidence.
Within academic circles, Sitchin’s work faced rejection, marked as pseudoscientific and deemed antichristian. His theories clashed with established historical and archaeological interpretations, leading to his marginalization within scholarly discourse. The scientific community maintained its stance against Sitchin’s claims, asserting the need for rigorous evidence and methodological soundness.

Lycastus, began to recount stories as they truly unfolded, however, Sitchin, bound by his commitment to evidence-based research, found it challenging to publish these narratives. Despite the allure of Lycastus’ stories, the lack of tangible proof left Sitchin hesitant to incorporate them into his published works.
As time passed, Sitchin formed connections with the Rosenists all but Afrodite, Richard, Teo, and Morgana.
