About this listen
In the 16th century, Spanish conquerors came to the New World in search of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold. Instead, they encountered inexplicable phenomena that have puzzled scholars and historians ever since: massive stone edifices constructed in the Earth's most inaccessible regions...great monuments forged with impossible skill and unknown tools...intricate carvings describing events and places half a world away.
Who were the bearded "gods of the golden wand" who had brought civilization to the Americas millennia before Columbus? Who were the giants whose sculpted stone heads in Mesoamerica still mystify to this day?
In this remarkably researched fourth volume of The Earth Chronicles, author and explorer Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the long-hidden secrets of the lost New World civilizations of the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas and links the conquistadors' quest for El Dorado to the extraterrestrials who searched there for gold long before.

Highly Recommended
I bought and started reading this in paperback a number of decades ago, and like so many books that I have bought, I remember reading the first few chapters and thinking "Wow; that's interesting. I'll enjoy coming back to this when I get some time". A number of years later I bought the whole 'Earth Chronicles' set in hardback when I saw them on a special offer and they have been looking down at me from my bookshelf ever since.
Now, with the advent of Audible I am able to receive information through one headphone whilst performing repetitive tasks in The Workplace and consequently, during the past couple of months, Zechariah Sitchin's 'Earth Chronicles' have been the screen-saver to my brain. I just started the seventh and final book in the series.
So significant is the content of these books that it is my intention, once I have finished the series and listened to other available titles by the same author regarding similar subject matter, to revisit them continuously throughout my life.
If this story were nothing but a flight of fancy; the far-fetched musings of an overactive imagination, it would already merit reading and re-reading for it's intrinsic merit as a fascinating story. The fact that it is however, in addition to this, very likely to be the actual story of our planet from it's birth through the ages of it's life and subsequently our life upon it, as directly recounted to us by the oldest civilization of whom we currently have clear archaeological record, and multiply corroborated by countless similar accounts from other comparably ancient sources, certainly does not detract from this.
As I have progressed through this epic narrative, I have at various points taken the time to check in with The Internet, for curiosity and objectivity's sake, just to see which kinds of people have been upset by these books and potentially why. To my surprise, apart from some mid-level online trolling from a few repeatedly featured Naye-Sayers, who by and large would appear to be either amongst those who have dedicated their lives and careers to studying history either from a specifically Christian perspective, or from a perspective which for some other reason enshrines reductive notions of historical conjecture as if they were the principles of a faith-driven religion, the general impression (now nearly 50 years since 'The 12th Planet' was first published) is one of a resounding and rather awkward silence where one might otherwise expect to find a cacophony of acrimonious 'debunking' invective. Even these critics are largely limited either to semantics around one or two relatively insignificant details of translation (usually involving lots of angry block-capitals and suchforth), or to a broad dismissal of the entire discussion based on the principle that "... when all is said and done; nobody can ever Truly 'know' anything". Conversely; the general consensus would appear to be that nobody in nearly 50 years has thus far presented significant enough contention with this author's treatment of these ancient texts for us not to reasonably accept that these are in fact the corroborative accounts left to us by the various peoples of antiquity. Whether we should either disregard them or incorporate them into our understanding of global history is of course a matter of personal choice.
I whole-heartedly recommend these books / story-tapes.

Another great book!
Clearly read, yet another book from this author that challenges the way we look at accepted history.
