Lost Realms, The - Softcover
Thousands Of Years Before the Birth
Of Christ, Giants Roamed The Earth
Of Christ, Giants Roamed The Earth
In the sixteenth century, Spanish conquerors came to the New World in search of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold. Instead, they encountered inexplicable phenomena that have puzzled scholars and historians ever since: massive stone edifices constructed in the Earth's most inaccessible regions ... great monuments forged with impossible skill and unknown tools ... intricate carvings describing the events and topography of half a world away.
In this, the remarkable and thoroughly researched fourth volume of THE EARTH CHRONICLES, author Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the long-hidden secrets of the lost civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas and offers documentation of the giant gods who spawned the greatness of the Incans, Mayans, and Aztecs -- the Anunnaki -- "those who from Heaven to Earth came."

From the Back Cover:
ARCHAEOLOGY / HISTORY
When the Spanish conquistadors came to the New World in search of EI Dorado, the fabled city of gold, they instead found stone edifices of massive proportions mysteriously constructed in inaccessible regions--huge monuments built with a skill level and tools yet unknown to the indigenous cultures of that part of the world.
In The Lost Realms, Zecharia Sitchin combines archaeological, mythological, and textual evidence to uncover links between ancient Near Eastern and prehistoric American civilizations--links that explain the Pyramids and "cities of the gods" in Mexico, the Mayan mastery of astronomy, the secrets of the Olmec calendar, and the presence of the oldest metropolis in the Americas on the shores of Lake Titicaca. He discloses answers to the puzzles of the ancient American civilizations-answers that strongly suggest the involvement of "gods" from another planet who made Earth their home.
“A dazzling performance. ...Sitchin is a zealous investigator.”
--Kirkus Reviews
“Sitchin's pursuit of the earliest available texts and artifacts make possible the wealth of photos and line drawings included in his books from tablets, monuments, murals, pottery, seals, etc. Used generously throughout) they provide vital visual evidence.”
--Rosemary Decker, historian and researcher
