Books : The Lost Book of Enki: Memoirs and Prophecies of an Extraterrestrial god

Rating: - Incredible
It may look like fiction but it is not... I already had this treasure and I bought it for my friend (the yogi). He got addicted to Sitchin books. I'm grateful there is someone in the earth that knows very well Sumerian to translated for all of us and let us know the truth...

Rating: - What a story...
I was new to many the concepts presented in this book, but the story is so captivating I've been studying it ever since. The information presented contradicts much of what I learned growing up, and frankly the stories make more sense than the history I was taught.
This book is alleged to be an actual translation from ancient tablets. The translation uses a passive voice which takes a little getting used to, but the content is so engaging you hardly notice. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and will read it again. I have bought 2 more Sitchin titles since.

Rating: - A fanciful tale
What a disappointment this novel was. It lacked footnotes or referencing to back up Sitchin's "filling the gaps". I am a huge fan of Zecharia Sitchin and believe most of his original theories to be sound, but he went way too far with this one.

Much of what is written in this novel contradicts his previous writings. I just wish he had given some basis for his leaps in imagination. I was left wondering which portions were based on ancient texts and which were flights of fancy.

I would suggest buying a used edition.

Rating: - Two Roads, One Destination
Sitchen and I have arrived at many of the conclusions, but we took vastly different paths in our research. In fact I had not read Sitchen until after my journey was done. It's intriguing that we traveled such diverse roads but agree to where the evidence points. Further, it's notable that both Sitchen and I have become firm believers in Christianity after our research.
He writes like a true master, and conveys information that is of critical importance for all mankind, and for our future.
This book should be on your shelf and in your heart as quickly as possible. It will alter your perceptions of mankind forever.

Rating: - Disappointing
Let me also say that I have read all of Sitchin's books and found most, the first 3 or 4 at least, to be fascinating. I anxiously awaited this "Enki" book, because it was billed as a narrative that would fill in a lot of the gaps and answer a lot of my questions. It failed. It is written in a poetic style that is tedious and irritating; the reverse sentence structure in particular (think Yoda).

Rather than give any depth, insight, or fill in the gaps, it glosses over things as if they are a given. The ME for example. Mainly it just puts the story and information we already know from Sitchin's previous books in another format.

Rather than rehash all of his existing theories and information, I would hope that Sitchin would move on to explore other areas or at least uncover new info on his existing subjects. He could look into the manifestations of God in the Koran or Christian sacred texts, for example.


Something a lot of the reviewers/readers seem to be confused about: this is a hypothetical story; Sitchins idea of how it might have happened. Hello! The book makes that clear in the introduction. This is the Anunnaki story written AS IF it were translated from ancient Sumerian tablets, not translated from actual ancient Sumerian tablets.

One thing that I have always wondered about and that I hoped this book would adequately address is how Nibiru survives a long eliptical orbit around the sun. This books seems to explain it away by saying that Nibiru has a dense atmosphere which protects it from the variations in solar intensity that such an orbit would cause. We know that even the change of of a fraction of a degree can have major effects on the earth's climate. It is hard to believe that life could survive on Nibiru as it is defined. There may be some good explanation for this, but I have yet to read one.
