I have read several books including some of Sitchin's works. I'm hoping to read several more. I find his work very interesting and thought provoking. I came across his work reading about the Incan Civilization and earlier pre Incan cultures. The lines of Nazca have always facinated me. The Nazca lines are a series of geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert, a high arid plateau that stretches more than 80 km (50 miles) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana in Peru. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, these are largely believed to have been created by the Nazca culture between 200 BC and AD 700. There are hundreds of individual figures, ranging in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks or orcas, llamas, and lizards.
The lines are shallow designs in the ground where the reddish pebbles that cover the surrounding landscape have been removed, revealing the whitish earth underneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes, and more than seventy are natural or human figures. The largest are over 200m across.
Its mind boggling to say the least even with todays technology it would be challenging to re-create.
I hope to learn more about the sumerian culture. I think it will be very interesting. I recently came across an article about a disc that was dicovered that has hieroglphs that no one has been able to indentify. The origins predate the Sumerians which is even more interesting because Sumerian civilization is known to be the earliest.
Down the rabbit hole we go...
