Resumen
• Offers easy access to the myriad characters and subjects covered by the seven books of The Earth Chronicles series
• Provides alphabetical listings to the terminology of ancient civilizations concerning their gods, kings, cultures, and religions
• Contains detailed summations, commentaries, and instructions for locating topics within all the author’s books
The Earth Chronicles series, a historical and archaeological adventure into the origins of mankind and planet Earth, began with the publication of the bestselling The 12th Planet. The series is based on the premise that the myths from the world’s earliest civilizations were in fact recollections of actual events and that the gods of ancient peoples were visitors to Earth from another planet--the Anunnaki, inhabitants of the 12th planet. The series’ books include The 12th Planet, The Stairway to Heaven, The Wars of Gods and Men, The Lost Realms, When Time Began, The Cosmic Code, and The End of Days, all products of the author’s unmatched study of the ancient records of Sumer, Babylonia, Assyria, Israel, and Egypt and the civilizations of pre-Columbian America. Unearthing the hidden history of Earth and mankind, the series uses the past to unveil the meaning of the prophesied future.
Zecharia Sitchin has created an encyclopedic compendium of the key figures, sites, concepts, and beliefs to provide a unique navigational tool through this entire opus. Entries are coded to indicate at a glance their cultural origin and contain summations, commentaries, and guidance for locating the topics within all of his books, including Genesis Revisited, Divine Encounters, The Lost Book of Enki, The Earth Chronicles Expeditions, and Journeys to the Mythical Past.
Descripción de contraportada
Wisdom hath built her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars. Proverbs 9:1 In the seven books of The Earth Chronicles series, Zecharia Sitchin has amassed a vast volume of information about Mankind's ancient civilizations, ranging from the Near East, Africa, and Europe to the Americas--presenting it all in the context of a unified understanding of gods and men of the Past as a key to unlocking the Future. The Earth Chronicles Handbook is both a useful tool for navigating through the 2,300 pages of those seven books as well as a unique compendium that provides in alphabetical order, in one volume, data from all parts of the world, indicating for each entry its cultural source. It is, in a way, a key to the Seven Pillars of Ancient Wisdom. Praise for The Earth Chronicles Series "Exciting . . . credible . . . most provocative and compelling." --Library Journal "For thousands of years priests, poets, and scientists have tried to explain how man was created. . . . Now a recognized scholar has come forth with a theory that is the most astonishing of all." --United Press International "A dazzling performance. . . . Sitchin is a zealous investigator." --Kirkus Reviews

- Abydos: An ancient Egyptian site where a tablet ascribed to the Pharaoh Seti I (and depicting him and his son Ramses II) was discovered.Inscribed in hieroglyphics, it listed the ancient Egyptian royal dynasties, starting with the Pharaoh MEN (Menes in Greek).
