About this ebook

• Was Adam the first test-tube baby?

• Did nuclear fission destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?

• How were the ancients able to accurately describe details about our solar system that are only now being revealed by deep space probes?

The awesome answers are all here, in this important companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series. Having presented evidence of an additional planet as well as voluminous information about the other planets in our solar system, Zecharia Sitchin now shows how the discoveries of modern astrophysics, astronomy, and genetics exactly parallel what has already been revealed in ancient texts regarding the "mysteries" of alchemy and the creation of life. Genesis Revisited is a mind-boggling revelation sure to overturn current theories about the origins of humankind and the solar system.

Ratings and reviews

Yes I would recommend this book. the author writes on a strange topic and makes his case in a reasonable way. If this is the first of these books every page present an OMG moment. these are the real X files.

informative and although Bible thumpers hate this kind of thing, they really need to open their minds up and realize that this is actual history and much more historically accurate than Genesis as the akkadian tablets it is based on is the original source of Genesis and as with every story,the earliest versions are always more factual than the later ones. while some people would be reluctant to accept the facts related in this book because they would feel they poked holes in their faith it was just the opposite for me. I first read this book in 2005 and at that point in my life I was a strict atheist, not willing to accept the Bible as anything but silly folklore. But after reading Genesis Revisited, The 12th Planet, and Divine Intervention, my eyes were opened to the possibility that the events in the books of the Old Testament actually had scientifically possible origins and were historically accurate in their earliest origins.
