This book challenges modern ideas about our past and future. The world-famous historian, linguist, brilliant expert on ancient civilizations Zecharia Sitchin offers us a hypothesis about the emergence of humanity. Based on Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Canaanite, Hebrew and ancient Egyptian sources, Sitchin convincingly proves that humanity descended from the inhabitants of the planet Nibiru, the Anunnaki and their supreme god Enki. This unique book tells about the history of this particular people and their connection with the earth and earthlings. How did they live on their own planet? What reasons brought them to earth and forced them to stay here? And what forced them to leave their new home? This book is based on events that took place in another world: the history of the emergence of tense relations in it, the emergence of a threat to survival, the struggle for the royal throne, as well as the complex history of the development of scientific knowledge that led to the emergence of humanity. This publication is a translation of the original edition of “The Lost Book of Enki”, published by Bear & Company.
