Zecharia Sitchin makes a lot of crazy-sounding claims. He talks about faraway planets and NASA-style rocketry. He doesn't provide references, and he doesn't make convincing logical arguments. Nevertheless millions of people believe his claims.

From Ken's list on ancient Sumerian mythology.
Having had a passion for ancient history and always looking for those pesky missing pieces, you know what I mean those things that just do not quite fit or were insufficiently explained, I came across this book, and there for the first time the puzzle was completed. All those missing pieces were finally found and clicked into place. He rightfully throws much-needed questions at the consensus of not only our history but our very origins. Making us look at places, scriptures, and mythology with fresh eyes. I would thoroughly recommend not only this book but the whole series.
From Tamara's list on with a bite to titillate your senses.
