What is sitchin?

Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) was a Russian-American author and researcher who is best known for his controversial theories about ancient astronauts and extraterrestrial beings. He graduated with a degree in economics from the University of London, and worked as a journalist and editor for various newspapers in Israel and South Africa. However, he is most famous for his books, which suggest that ancient Sumerian texts and artifacts contain evidence of advanced technology and extraterrestrial visits.

Sitchin's most influential work is the Earth Chronicles series, which includes the books "The 12th Planet," "The Wars of Gods and Men," "The Stairway to Heaven," and others. In these books, he presents his interpretation of Sumerian mythology, which he believes describes the interactions between humans and the "Anunnaki," a race of beings from the planet Nibiru who allegedly created humans as a slave race and established civilizations on Earth.

Sitchin's theories have been criticized by scholars and historians, who argue that his interpretations of Sumerian texts are flawed and lack a basis in fact. However, his work has also gained a following among alternative researchers and believers in ancient astronaut theories, who see it as evidence of extraterrestrial contact with humanity. Sitchin's ideas continue to be debated and discussed in various cultural circles.
