journeys to the mythical past

Zecharia Sitchin

hardcover book 243 pages

Troy - a greek poet's fiction, a real place where heroes battled and died, or an arena where vengeful gods used men as pawns?

Was there an Atlantis, or was its tale an allegorical myth? Was the New World linked to Old World civilizations millenia before Columbus?

It is with a visit to the remains of Troy that Zecharia Sitchin  and the reader of this book begin journeys to the mythical and legendary past, exploring the hidden evidence of Mankind's true past and thus its future.

This is the tenth of sitchin's bestselling books. The previous books, under the unbrella title The earth Chronicles, were written by him as a reporter observing the deeds and histories of others, be they gods or men. In this book he shares with the reader his own story of searching and researching, of going to distant places to see things for himself, to personally verify evidence, to check the feasibility of trade routes or flight paths.

The Earth Chronicles Expeditions were at times not without danger. At times they crossed the paths with world leaders or with geopoloitical events, war and peace. Some of the destinations were millenia old ruins of royal cities; others, like the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, are still the subject of daily headlines. Indeed, it is from these voyages into the past that today's conflicts and passions can be understood.

Ranging from Mayan temples in Mexico to hidden artifacts in Istanbul, Turkey, from biblical tunnels to the mysteries of Mount Sinai, from the abode of the Sumerian goddess to Greek islands, the Expeditions' destinations and amazing discoveries unmasked established fallacies, detected the fate of provocative artifacts and revealed ancient connections to modern space facilities.

In this autobiographical book Zecharia Sitchin shares with the reader not only his encompassing knowledge of antiquity and his field experiences, but also hitherto unseen photographs from his personal archive.
