In 1976, a scholar translating ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts published the first of his books, The 12th Planet. (3) In his groundbreaking translations, Sitchin described with great scholarly precision, the technological wonders and knowledge of the ancient civilization of Sumeria. What made his work controversial was that he claimed that the Sumerians were aided in starting their civilization by an advanced race of beings called the Anunnaki (Sumerian for those who came from Heaven to Earth). He described technological wonders possessed by the Anunnaki, and described a factional war between the Anunnaki who finally departed the planet around 1700 BC. Furthermore, Sitchin described the home world of these beings as a mysterious planet that periodically returns to the vicinity of the solar system every 3,600 years. Sitchins translations, when combined with biblical and historical records supporting the existence of ET races in human affairs, made clear the important role by this ancient ET race in the genesis of humanity. (4) Sitchins translations proved to be very controversial and mainstream archeologists dismissed the work as too speculative in its definitions, premises and conclusions. (5) However, there were very influential clandestine organizations that took Sitchins work much more seriously.
