Zecharia Sitchin, one of the most controversial, knowledgeable, and significant contemporary scholars, in this astonishing book, explores the myths of Creation from a radical perspective.

The result of thirty years of intensive research, The 12th Planet provides incontrovertible evidence for the existence of another planet in our solar system: the "Twelfth Planet" or "Nibiru," homeland of the Anunnaki. Nibiru and its inhabitants played a crucial role in the creation of the Earth, the emergence of life, and civilization.

Combining ancient Mesopotamian and biblical sources with recent scientific developments, the author sheds abundant light on the subject of ancient astronauts and proposes solutions to many enigmas of our time.

And as his conclusions are verified by modern research, they truly make us wonder not only where we come from, but also where we are headed.

Some believe that the Anunnaki will return, perhaps in our days. Most prophecies agree that the time of transition, of consciousness change, of the return of the gods has come. Perhaps all of this is merely a part of the global unconscious mythology of the planet, as articulated in all ancient sacred texts. However, it might also serve as the spark for the awakening of humanity.
