Synopsis

Thousands of years ago, the Earth was a battlefield. These were the wars that would shape man's destiny—terrible conflicts that began lifetimes earlier on another planet.

Parting the mists of time and myth, the internationally renowned scholar Zecharia Sitchin takes us back in this volume to the violent beginnings of the human story, when gods—not men—ruled the Earth. In a spellbinding reconstruction of epic events preserved in legends and ancient writings, he traces the conflicts that began on another world, continued on Earth, and culminated in the use of nuclear weapons—an event recorded in the Bible as the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah.

About Zecharia Sitchin

Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010), an eminent Orientalist and biblical scholar, was born in Russia and grew up in Palestine, where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and archaeology of the Near East. A graduate of the University of London with a degree in economic history, he worked as a journalist and editor in Israel for many years prior to undertaking his life's work-the Earth Chronicles.

One of the few scholars able to read the clay tablets and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian, Sitchin based the Earth Chronicles series on the texts and pictorial evidence recorded by the ancient civilizations of the Near East. His books have been widely translated, reprinted in paperback editions, converted to Braille for the blind, and featured on radio and television programs.

Sitchin’s The War of Gods and Men, the third book in the revolutionary Earth Chronicle series is an intense and heart-pounding read. Sitchin supplies astonishing evidence that the “Gods” those from heaven to earth they came from the twelfth planet Nibiru engaged in an array of relentless vicious con......more

Goodreads review by Sainte on July 18, 2012

Book 3 didn't do it for me like #1 of The Earth Chronicles. It was too dry and laborious to get through, filled with more the theories and facts Zitchin lays out in Book 1. Maybe because it's like a dense encyclopaedia of the distant past battles & wars...it was difficult to find a thread to care ab......more

Though this begins with dry academia, it regains some of the thrill you felt when reading The 12th Planet. Well done, good read.......more

Goodreads review by William on March 04, 2025

I enjoyed Sitchin’s first book. Book two and book three just feel like a retelling of Egyptian myth and some biblical stories only instead of Horis being a god he was an alien. There have been lots of archaeological evidence that suggest that standard history narrative is not aw we are taught. I don......more

Goodreads review by Sehar on October 06, 2016

I started this book planning to be sceptical but very sure that I'd be blown away... And truth is I wasn't. For me perhaps the most interesting thing about this book was the overview of Asian mythology and the very interesting parallels with current world religions. The fact that the symbol of the n......more
