Explanation of Ratings

There certainly seems to be a lot of data in this book:
It is packed with reproductions of stone inscriptions
and references to ancient texts.
Based on his own unique translations of these texts,
Sitchen argues that
ancient astronauts visited our solar system aboard a
"Twelfth Planet" whose orbit intersected with that of our own
around the time of the ancient Sumarians.
We are at a disadvantage when evaluating this book:
We do not read Sumarian or have access to the texts
as Sitchen supposedly does. We don't have any background
in Near East archeology, so Sitchen's arguments are lost on us.
They sound reasonable but could be rubbish.
We want to hear from an accredited archeologist who can
at least confirm the soundness of Sitchin's underlying research.
As it stands, Sitchen's account is like that of a modern UFO
abductee: It sounds convincing, but we need further evidence.
-- Glenn Campbell
Comparison to Other Books

being the first in the series.
