So, Juan, you're saying that "the truth is out there"?  Interesting, but I'd like more information on this guy.

Dunno, Connie...stumbled across him when I went a-Googlin' for a word Mr. Sitchin coined, annuai, which turned to be annunaki....which he purports to mean aliens in ancient Sumerian.
At the same time I was looking for fata morgana which means the mirage of a castle above the surface of a lake or body of water; and viminas, which means flying crafts in ancient Hindu.
Halfway down the link there's a paragraph which cites Sitchin's impressive academic background in the studies of ancient languages including Sumerian and Greek, so I figured he was worth a look and perhaps some discussion. I also saw he has a current homepage when I Googled, so just put his name in and you'll get a bunch of hits.

He's either a conman or a fool. He's got "van Danikenitis" real bad! I started reading something he wrote some years ago, thinking that he was a serious scholar of ancient languages but as soon as his maunderings veered off into speculation about visitors from outer space being around 4,000-odd years ago, presented as fact, I threw whatever it was I was reading into the corner and wrote him off as a charlatan. I've avoided him and the others like the plague ever since. I recommend that you don't bother unless you want a snigger.
