Sitchin attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he states was a race of extraterrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru.

Sitchin states that when struck by one of planet Nibiru's moons, Tiamat split in two, and then on a second pass Nibiru itself struck the broken fragments and one half of Tiamat became the asteroid belt.

According to Sitchin, Nibiru ( called " the twelfth planet " because, Sitchin claimed, the Sumerians ' gods-given conception of the Solar System counted all eight planets, plus Pluto, the Sun and the Moon ) was the home of a technologically advanced human-like extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki in Sumerian myth, who Sitchin states are called the Nephilim in Genesis.

Sitchin states the exact year is 2024 BC.

As with Immanuel Velikovsky's earlier Worlds in Collision thesis, Sitchin states that he has found evidence of ancient human knowledge of rogue celestial motions in a variety of mythological accounts.

Sitchin in “ the case of Adam ’ s alien genes ” states that 223 unique genes found by the Human Genome Sequencing Consortium are without the required predecessors on the genomic evolutionary tree.

According to Sitchin, ancient inscriptions report that the human civilization in Sumer, Mesopotamia, was set up under the guidance of these " gods ", and human kingship was inaugurated to provide intermediaries between mankind and the Anunnaki ( creating the " divine right of kings " doctrine ).

Sitchin wrote that these ancient civilizations knew of a twelfth planet, when in fact they only knew five.

In Velikovsky's case, these interplanetary collisions were supposed to have taken place within the span of human existence, whereas for Sitchin these occurred during the early stages of planetary formation, but entered the mythological account passed down via the alien race which purportedly evolved on Nibiru after these encounters.

Sitchin has constructed what appears to be a convincing argument, but when he gets close to single images on ancient tablets, he falls back into the literalism of " Here is an image of the gods in rockets.

These beings, which Sitchin identified with the Annunaki of Sumerian myth, would become humanity's first gods.

Even if Sitchin is referring to written rather than to spoken language, it is unlikely that his contention can be persuasively defended, since Sumerian ideograms were preceded by the Azilian and Tartarian signaries of Europe as well as by a variety of script-like notational systems between the Nile and Indus rivers.

They were both " courted " by Zecharia Sitchin and his followers who believe in a planet Nibiru or Marduk, who cite the research of Harrington and van Flandern as possible collaborating evidence, though no definitive proof of a 10th planet has surfaced to date.

Sitchin wrote that Enki suggested that to relieve the Anunnaki, who had mutinied over their dissatisfaction with their working conditions, that primitive workers ( Homo sapiens ) be created by genetic engineering as slaves to replace them in the gold mines by crossing extraterrestrial genes with those of Homo erectus.

Since the release of his first book The 12th Planet in 1976, now in its 45th printing, Zecharia Sitchin has written seven other books as part of his Earth Chronicles series, as well as six other companion books, all of which are still in print.

In 2007, partly in response to Lieder's proclamations, Sitchin published a book, The End of Days, which set the time for the last passing of Nibiru by Earth at 556 BC, which would mean, given the object's supposed 3, 600-year orbit, that it would return sometime around AD 2900.

Sitchin believes that fallout from nuclear weapons, used during a war between factions of the extraterrestrials, is the " evil wind " described in the Lament for Ur that destroyed Ur around 2000 BC.

Sitchin says that his research coincides with many biblical texts, and that biblical texts come originally from Sumerian writings.

Although Lieder originally referred to the object as " Planet X ", it has become deeply associated with Nibiru, a planet from the works of ancient astronaut proponent Zecharia Sitchin, particularly his book The 12th Planet.

:* Half of " Lil ' Taste of Poland " contains snippets from a coast to coast am radio interview between Zecharia Sitchin and Art Bell discussing the Annunaki.

According to Sitchin, Nibiru ( whose name was replaced with MARDUK in original legends by the Babylonian ruler of the same name in an attempt to co-opt the creation for himself, leading to some confusion among readers ) collided catastrophically with Tiamat ( a goddess in the Babylonian creation myth the Enûma Eliš ), which he considers to be another planet once located between Mars and Jupiter.

The scenario outlined by Sitchin, with Nibiru returning to the inner solar system regularly every 3, 600 years,

All are, in fact, names for other real, hypothetical or imaginary Solar System objects that bear little resemblance to Nibiru as described by Lieder or Sitchin.

Zecharia Sitchin ( July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010 ) was an Azerbaijani-born American author of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts.

Sitchin was born in the then Azerbaijan SSR of the Soviet Union, but was raised in Mandatory Palestine.

Similarly to earlier authors such as Immanuel Velikovsky and Erich von Däniken, Sitchin advocated hypotheses in which extraterrestrial events supposedly played a significant role in ancient human history.

Sitchin was a frequent guest on the Coast to Coast AM radio show, which in 2010 presented Sitchin with a lifetime achievement award.

When Sitchin wrote his books, only specialists could read the Sumerian language.

Sitchin bases his arguments on his personal interpretations of pre-Nubian and Sumerian texts, and the seal VA 243.

Seal VA 243 has 12 dots that Sitchin identifies as planets.

Van Flandern, of the U. S. Naval Observatory, which Sitchin uses to bolster his thesis, is no support at all.

Isn't it a bit odd that the three states of Southern New England ( Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island ) have had state institutions of university status only in the very recent past, these institutions having previously been A & M colleges??

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, a preacher and a college and university president in four Southern states, published the earliest of these backwoods sketches and in the character Ransy Sniffle, in the accounts of sharp horse-trading and eye-gouging physical combat, and in the shockingly unliterary speech of his characters, he set an example followed by many after him.

Of these states the average `` change-over '' point ( at which a car is substituted for allowances ) is 13,200 miles per year.

The maximum suction was 3.25'' '' of test fluid measured from the top of the block, and steady states were apparently reached with these fluids.

The psychological incompatibility of these emotional states seems to be reflected in, or based on, this marked difference.

Although we are still far from a complete understanding of these problems, as a first approximation, it is suggested that alterations in the hypothalamic balance with consequent changes in the hypothalamic-cortical discharges account for major changes in behavior seen in various moods and states of emotions in man and beast under physiological circumstances, in experimental and clinical neurosis, and as the result of psychopharmacological agents.

Southern China, all of southeast Asia, southern India and Ceylon, these states of the Malay Federation spoke Bazaar.

Six of these states then adopted a constitution and declared themselves to be a sovereign nation, the Confederate States of America.

" Permit us, then, earnestly to recommend these articles to the immediate and dispassionate attention of the legislatures of the respective states.

The colonial power, Portugal, becoming ever richer and more powerful, would not tolerate the growth of these neighbouring states and subjugated them one by one, so that by the beginning of this century the Portuguese had complete control over the entire area.

Meanwhile, in 1913, physicist Niels Bohr suggested that the electrons were confined into clearly defined, quantized orbits, and could jump between these, but could not freely spiral inward or outward in intermediate states.

Schweitzer found many New Testament references to apparently show that 1st-century Christians believed literally in the imminent fulfillment of the promise of the World's ending, within the lifetime of Jesus's original followers, He noted that in the gospel of Mark, Jesus speaks of a " tribulation ", with his coming in the clouds with great power and glory " ( St Mark ), and states when it will happen: " This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled " ( St Matthew, 24: 34 ) ( or, " have taken place " ( Luke 21: 32 )): " All these things shall come upon this generation " ( Matthew 23: 36 ).

The most important of these was the principle that came to be called Ampère ’ s law, which states that the mutual action of two lengths of current-carrying wire is proportional to their lengths and to the intensities of their currents.

Among these phenomena are trance states, dreams, and hallucinations.

Plutarch states it to have been fear of her husband, together with hatred of his cruel and brutal character, and ascribes these feelings principally to the representations of Pelopidas, when she visited him in his prison.

These proclamations embodied Johnson's conciliatory policies towards the South, as well as his rush to reincorporate the former Confederate states into the union without due regard for freedmen's rights ; these positions and his vetoes of civil rights bills embroiled him in a bitter dispute with Radical Republicans who demanded harsher measures.

With the withdrawal of these states, a congress was called on the holy island of Delos to institute a new alliance to continue the fight against the Persians ; hence the modern designation " Delian League ".

By 454, the Delian League could be fairly characterized as an Athenian Empire ; at the start of the Peloponnesian War, only Chios and Lesbos were left to contribute ships, and these states were by now far too weak to secede without support.

Writing about AD 94, Clement of Rome states that the apostles appointed successors to continue their work where they had planted churches and for these in their turn to do the same because they foresaw the risk of discord.

In this context, Clement explicitly states that the apostles appointed bishops as successors and directed that these bishops should in turn appoint their own successors ; given this, such leaders of the Church were not to be removed without cause and not in this way.

Indeed, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in Article 6 requires these features in the legal systems of its signatory states.

Unlike these states, which were ruled by local nobles who acknowledged British suzerainty, Ajmer-Merwara was administered directly by the British, until 1858 by the East India Company and after 1858 by a chief commissioner who was subordinate to the Governor-General of India's agent for the Rajputana Agency.

In writing the Kentucky Resolutions, Jefferson warned that, " unless arrested at the threshold ," the Alien and Sedition Acts would " necessarily drive these states into revolution and blood.
