Zacharia Sitchin
Nachdem sein Buch über den “zwölften Planeten“ Band 1 einer Serie unter dem Titel „Earth Chronicles“ Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts schon für viel Aufsehen gesorgt hat und Anne Brewer in ihrem Buch seine Erkenntnisse mit eingearbeitet hat, kam ich nicht umhin ihm einen eigenen Menüpunkt zu widmen. Leider gab es die Kindle-Ausgabe seines Buches nur auf Englisch Kann mich erinnern, dass sich die deutsche Übersetzung damals für mich wie ein Krimi lass!
Es ist im Internet etwas über ihn zu erfahren. Der Eintrag in der Wkipedia sieht so aus:
Zecharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) was an author of a number of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Sitchin attributed the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Annunaki, which he claimed was a race of extraterretials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru. He claimed that Sumerian mythology suggests that this hypothetical planet of Nibiru is in an elongated, 3,600-year-long elliptical orbit around the Sun. Sitchin's books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 25 languages.

About the Author
Zecharia Sitchin was born in Russia and grew up in Palestine, where he acquired a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and archaeology of the Near East. A graduate of the University of London with a degree in economic history, he worked as a journalist and editor for many years prior to undertaking his life's work—The Earth Chronicles. One of the few scholars able to read the clay tablets and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian, Sitchin based The Earth Chronicles series on the texts and pictorial evidence recorded by the ancient civilizations of the Near East, His books have been widely translated, reprinted in paperback editions, converted to Braille for the blind, and featured on radio and television programs. He now lives and writes in New York City.
Band 2 der „Earth Chronicles“-Serie von Sitchin in der ich zu meiner Überraschung auch viel Interessantes über meinen “Liebling“ Alexander den Großen fand.
