Sitchin, Zecharia

Zecharia Sitchin was an author known for proposing that ancient Sumerian texts describe an advanced extraterrestrial civilization called the Anunnaki, who supposedly visited Earth and influenced human civilization. His interpretations suggest that these beings came from a hypothetical planet called Nibiru. Sitchin's ideas blend archaeology, mythology, and astronomy, though mainstream scholars widely criticize his work for misinterpreting ancient texts and lacking scientific validation. His theories have gained popularity among some alternative history and ancient astronaut enthusiasts but remain outside the consensus of established archaeology and science.
