Publisher's summary

The product of 30 years of intensive research, The Twelfth Planet argues persuasively that humanity sprang from extraterrestrial forebears. Sitchin provides startling evidence of a superior race of beings who once inhabited the earth. You'll hear the story of how they traveled here from the stars and planted the genetic seed that would ultimately blossom into a remarkable species - the human being.
©1976 by Zecharia Sitchen (P)1997 by Alternative Audio

If there were 6 stars for story, this would get it

I do have to warn though, the quality is not great at all. Very old and sounds like it. The theory of planet X, derived by translating the Sumerian tablets, is mysterious, exciting and is becoming more and more prevalent as we approach the end of 2012. If you are a fan of the more outspoken ancient alien theorists, don't miss out on Zecharia Sitchin, he is at the forefront and bases all of his research on a culture explored by a few (himself included) and ignored by many

Much better speaker!

The recording has noise and is not the greatest for sure, but this reader is much more enjoyable to listen to than the one that reads most of the other books by this author. I've listened to this book more than a dozen times and still enjoy it.

Great introduction to Sitchins' Sumeria.

Sitchins translation of Sumerian works is fascinating. Like the Indian Vedas ,ancient Sumeria is a science fiction movie waiting to happen.

And thats the way it was!

And that's the way it was, until proven differently. Very interesting topic that was described well by the author. The narration was good also. I highly recommend all people with religious backgrounds and others to get this book. Maybe a road trip to the Grand Canyon would open people's eyes more to the history of the world and the great flood. If the Great Flood could carve away all that tons and tons of rock and acres and acres of land then it can easily push some stones around at Puma Punku.
