The 12th Planet (book)

"The 12th Planet" is a book by Zecharia Sitchin that explores ancient Sumerian texts and mythology. Sitchin posits that these texts describe a previously unknown planet, Nibiru, which orbits the Sun every 3,600 years and is inhabited by an advanced alien race called the Anunnaki. He suggests that these beings visited Earth, influencing human civilization, technology, and culture. The book combines archaeology, history, and astronomy to challenge conventional views of human origins, proposing that extraterrestrial intervention played a crucial role in early human development. While controversial, it has intrigued many readers interested in ancient mysteries and alternative history theories.
