The famous researcher Zecharia Sitchin, the author of sensational theories of paleocontact, finds new convincing evidence that the Earth in ancient times was visited by aliens from outer space, who created the human race in their own image and likeness through genetic engineering. Irrefutable evidence of this is ancient written sources, sometimes incorrectly interpreted and translated by traditionalist scholars. An indirect confirmation of Sitchin’s theory is also the lack of a clear answer to the question: why does the human genome contain 223 genes that have no predecessors at the lower stages of evolution? This scientifically proven fact still does not fit into any modern evolutionary theory. Based on the Holy Scriptures and documents of the Egyptian and Sumerian-Akkadian civilizations he studied in detail, Sitchin reconstructs the nuclear disaster that occurred more than two thousand years ago, which arose during the war between the “gods” ", and also recreates all the stages of the emergence of Homo sapiens.
