«The 12th Planet» is Zecharia Sitchin's essay on ancient history, published by Harper in paperback (464 pages, in English).
Sitchin argues that the accounts of Creation, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel are not myths but chronicles of the Nefilim, astronauts from the planet Nibiru who created humanity in their image. The work combines biblical narrative with Sumerian and Babylonian tablets to propose an alternative history of the origins of Earth and man.
First book in the «The Earth Chronicles» series; the work is copyrighted 1976, and this 2007 Harper edition includes a new author's note.
For readers interested in the ancient astronaut theory and an unconventional reading of Creation myths.
Zecharia Sitchin was an author of a number of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Sitchin attributed the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he claimed was a race of extraterrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru. He claimed that Sumerian mythology suggests that this hypothetical planet of Nibiru is in an elongated, 3,600-year-long elliptical orbit around the Sun. Sitchin's books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 25 languages.
