<< sounds like you need to read the material before you form such an informed
opinion. i have read most of his stuff abeit was a number of years ago but
it reformed my whole worldview of the ancient world. sitchin's books are
simply current translations of hittite clay conuiform (sp) tablets and
many others. there are particularly engravings of ancient space capsules.
adam was developed by gene-splicing in the womb of astarte for 11 months
in attempting to create a semi intelligent work beast, by splicing her
genes with those of a chimpanze. eve was made from adams genes. i recall
further that outside of athens there is a stone rectangular block taken
from hundred of miles away that weighs in the area of either 1,200 or
12,000 (i forget which, but either would be impressive even by today's
technology) tons. it is carefully laid at an angle that would allows for
particular kinds of take-offs from the planet. it speaks of the gods going
hither and thither betwixt the earth and the skies on a regular basis.
pair these with all of the relics we have of the ancient world and it is a
little more believable than by putting it off to fanciful ancient
imaginations.
check the material out, you will not be disappointed.

I'll admit that I have not read the material thoroughly or completely. But I
am familiar with it. At least enough to comment. You, of course would be
aware that many academics have called into question whether Sitchin is as good
a Sumerian scholar as he leads people to believe. Contact DasGoat on this
issue since he has provided me with some interesting information regarding his
knowledge of Sumerian. Apart from some questions regarding his level of
knowledge I still think the theory, as the one in "The Gods of Eden", and much
of what Van Danniken propose is unsupportable. A lot of times these scholars,
because of their obvious bias refuse to look at alternative explanations for
things that they interpret a special way, which in this case is
extraterrestrial in origin, at least according to them. Mind you, it might be
true, but there simply is no evidence to support such things. In the absence
of evidence it is nothing but interesting speculation (something that I find
intriguing too, but cannot embrace as factual, which is my opinion on much of
the conspiracy dogma being bandied about, particularly in the conspiracy of
history area, especially when such one sided arguments are proposed i.e.; the
aliens did it all, aliens fill in the role of the "missing link" these days.)
Still thanks for your input, it is always welcome. What is most interesting
in this whole scenario to me is the fact that the proponents of an alien
interventionist agenda, and a person who supports the ETH of UFO origin, and
those who "believe" that alien abduction is really abduction by non-human
intelligences from another place, are the MOST dogmatic in support of their
pet theory and will usually brook no truck with the opposition (such as
perfectly human origin for the phenomena). They are the ones who are
completely unreasonable. Mind you I'm NOT saying that your are in this group,
just pointing out something for you to consider. Myself I don't believe in
other life elsewhere or that we have been visited by alien intelligences from
elsewhere, and that is because of lack of evidence that is convincing or
conclusive. HOWEVER, I don not make a dogmatic and blanket denial of the
possible reality of such beings, they may, in fact, exist, but I feel more
comfortable resting on evidence rather than on speculation. At least in this
matter!! (Note I reserve the right to ignore this injunction if an off the
wall theory really catches my eye! :) )
