I value Sitchin, too. Lloyd Pye considered himself to be a Sitchinite, and he was right all along. Sasquatch denialism has something to do with human origins. Or admitting that Sasquatch exists would complicate the narrative of evolution. I appreciate how Sitchin synthesizes ancient myth into his narrative. He corroborates and values myth and we have many sources of these myths. However, there is a lot of stuff flying in those books, and I don't buy it wholesale. The first two books that Sitchin wrote are hardly readable. English is not Sitchin's first language. The third book from Sitchin, The Wars of Gods and Men is different. It is ghost written or heavily edited by a native English speaker. It combines much of the material from the first two books and presents it much more accessibly. This book contains an account of Enki building the Great Pyramid as his personal fortress. According to Sitchin, he stayed in the king room where the fortress was powered by large natural crystals. At that time the whole thing was covered in limestone and sparkled white as snow above the landscape. These large crystals emitted a force field that prevented anyone from approaching. Sitchin goes on to say that Enki is banished here on Earth because he committed the crime of rape against his sister. I also identity Enki as Satan (and also as Hades). Then he describes the arrival of Enlil and the entourage of the gods, and they have a trial for Enki, find him guilty of rape, and sentence him to die and be walled up in the great pyramid. 100 years later, his mother sends a group to get Enki's body and his mother is able to revive him, and he now lives in Utah in the hills. I added that last bit. His underground digs are in Utah County about 20 miles west of Salt Lake City, and he often travels to the Mormon tabernacle to play his ecclesiastical role in their underground Satanic temple rites. That's why he told Moroni to have the Mormons come to Salt Lake City in the first place. It was already built out by the prior civilization, but it needed upgrades underground. In 1979, they finished the Mormon Temple. That's around the same time they were building out the DUMBS in Denver, and Dolce, NM, and other places.

The most compelling thing about Sitchin, is his relating of the ancient solar system, and the sexigesmal mathematics involved in calculating time and space on that scale. The cosmology, you know, the whole story of Tiamat's collision with Nibiru resulting in a new wet Earth, and an asteroid field made of the wreckage of this collision. That's the part of it that most captured my imagination. The ancients viewed the solar system from the outside, as you would if you were from outside the solar system.

I relate the story of Enki's incest to the Greek Persephone myth, or what the Romans called the Abduction of Kora. When Hades absconds with Persephone he takes her down to the underworld with him.

I understand that Ra built the pyramids: that's what Hidden Hand says. Enki takes credit for many things, it seems, e.g., creating mankind and being the lord of the harvest (Ne-beru).

Here's a book you might be interested in that I picked up years ago called "Planet X, The Sign of The Son of Man, And The End of The Age. Planet X at the Creation, Nativity and Second Coming". By Douglas A. Elwell

I don't have any of Sitchin's books, but I have listened to many interviews with him as a guest back in the days with Art Bell. It's an intriguing subject.
