ARCHAEOLOGY / HISTORY A Companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series. Special large-format edition, lavishly illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photographs In Genesis Revisited, author Zecharia Sitchin asks, "Is it possible that Mankind has come out of the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages, reached the Age of Enlightenment, experienced the Industrial Revolution, and entered the era of high-tech, genetic engineering and space flight--only to catch up with ancient knowledge?" Sitchin believes that the Book of Genesis and key Sumerian and ancient Egyptian sources reflect the highest levels of scientific knowledge, and he posits that what we are discovering today about Earth and the heavens is, in fact, a rediscovery of what had been known to a much earlier civilization. Genesis Revisited goes beyond the mere scientific curiosity; it delves into the core of humankind's existence, origin, and destiny. It is a revelation about where we are going because it reveals where we have come from.
