The "Chronicles of Earth" saga continues in this fourth book by Zacharia Sitchin titled "The Lost Kingdoms" just released by Archetype Publishers. The Anunnaki, the ancient gods, are the protagonists of this book, who "came to Earth from Heaven" thousands of years ago.
This time, the New World and the lost kingdoms of the Maya, Toltecs, Aztecs, Olmecs, and Incas are explored; civilizations that astonished the Spanish conquistadors when they "rediscovered" the forgotten continent in the 16th century and encountered their half-buried monumental structures in the jungle: palaces, cities, and sacred enclosures, sculptures that revealed their belief in a single Creator of All, temples that reached the sky. Amidst the fever of the new conquerors for finding gold and precious metals - the coveted El Dorado - and the relentless destruction and looting they caused, they were simultaneously fascinated and puzzled by the legends and mysteries of the ancient civilizations that spoke of "white bearded gods" who had long departed, but with the promise that they would return.
How and when did these civilizations appear in the American continent and why did they leave the Europeans speechless with their striking similarities to those of ancient Near East? Zacharia Sitchin believes he knows the answer. And in this book, he presents the evidence!
