Synopsis "When Time Began: The Fifth Book of the Earth Chronicles: The First new age (Earth Chronicles s. ) "

Night and day, month after month, year after year, our ancestors dutifully recorded the passage of time on clay tablets, watching the heavens from stage towers and pyramids and from megalithic monuments whose incredible size and precise architecture boggle the mind. . . . Who were the builders of these mysterious structures? What was their purpose? Whose signature is indelibly written on these timeless stones, and who was the Divine Architect? Why was Stonehenge and its likes built by ancient civilizations at the very same time--4,100 years ago? What is their message for our time? With these questions in mind, Zecharia Sitchin, renowned researcher of past ages, takes us on a journey through the records of time in this, the fifth book of his Earth Chronicles series. Drawing deeply on Sumerian and Egyptian writings, millenia-old artifacts, and sacred architecture ranging from ancient Mesopotamia to pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas, this bestselling scholar provides astounding insights into the origins of the calendar, astronomy, and astrology. He takes readers to the climax circa 2100 b.c. when Marduk, the Babylonian national god, attained supremacy on Earth and proclaimed the New Age of Aries--after which society, religion, science, and the status of women were never the same.

Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) was a writer and linguist best known for his ancient astronaut theory, which posits that an extraterrestrial race, the Anunnaki, intervened in the development of human civilization. His work is based on the interpretation of Sumerian texts and other ancient writings, which he considered evidence of extraterrestrial visits in antiquity. Throughout his career, Sitchin wrote numerous books on the subject, attracting both followers and detractors.

Among his most notable works are The 12th Planet (1976), The Wars of Gods and Men (1991), and The End of Days (2002). His books explore theories about the creation of humanity, the influence of the Anunnaki on ancient civilizations, and the relationship between gods and celestial bodies. While his works have been popular in the realm of pseudoscience, they have not received major literary awards or widespread acceptance in academia.
