There Were Giants Upon the Earth: Gods, Demigods and Human Ancestry: The Evidence of Alien DNA by Zecharia Sitchin. © 2010, Inner Traditions International. ISBN 978-1-59143-121-3.

Utilizing the Bible (which Sitchin also provides some Hebrew words and the English mistranslations), Sumerian clay tablets and/or cylinders, as well as some other ancient texts, the author presents his case of how man (modern day humans) came to be.

Modern day humans are the descendants of ‘gods’ – aliens who made Earth their home – and genetically engineered Homo erectus into Homo sapiens. He proposes that this is why no “missing link” in our evolutionary chain has ever been found.

Sitchin provides the reader with a lot of information – weaving together different cultures’ recorded histories to tell this story; the information is presented in much detail – so much so that the reader will either find it to be a bunch of bunk – or, like in my case, give the reader much to reflect on.

Sitchin closes with a wonderful dangling carrot – his theory that one of those gods/goddess’ (“Queen” Puabi’s) remains are currently in possession of the Natural History Museum in London.

Sitchin has requested DNA (mtDNA – mitochondrial DNA – DNA passed down through the females) testing be done on Puabi’s remains; the requests were denied.

I recommend this book for those who are interested in aliens, ancient history, and for those who can handle a lot of detailed information.

I enjoyed the book.
