Zecharia Sitchin’s bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity’s side of the story concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, “those who from heaven to earth came.” In The Lost Book of Enki we now view this saga from the perspective of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki leader revered in antiquity as a god, who tells the story of these extraterrestrials’ arrival on Earth from the planet Nibiru.
In his previous works Sitchin compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki’s impact on human civilization from fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew sources. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth--and what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of a lost book that held the answers to these questions, the author began his search for evidence. Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he has here re-created tales as the memoirs of Enki, the leader of these first “astronauts.” What takes shape is the story of a world of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our past and our future.
Zecharia Sitchin
Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010), an eminent Orientalist and biblical scholar, 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 in Israel 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.

The words of the lord Enki, firstborn son of Anu, who reigns on Nibiru.
With heavy spirit I utter laments; laments that are bitter fill my heart.
How smitten is the land, its people delivered to the Evil Wind, its stables abandoned, its sheepfolds emptied.
How smitten are the cities, their people piled up as dead corpses, afflicted by the Evil Wind.
How smitten are the fields, their vegetation withered, touched by the Evil Wind.
How smitten are the rivers, nothing swims anymore, pure sparkling waters turned into poison.
Of its black-headed people, Shumer is emptied, gone is all life;
Of its cattle and sheep Shumer is emptied, silent is the hum of churning milk.
In its glorious cities, only the wind howls; death is the only smell.
The temples whose heads to heaven arose by their gods have been abandoned.
Of lordship and kingship command there is none; scepter and tiara are gone.
On the banks of the two great rivers, once lush and life-giving, only weeds grow.
No one treads the highways, no one seeks out the roads; flourishing Shumer is like an abandoned desert.
How smitten is the land, home of gods and men!
On that land a calamity fell, one unknown to man.
A calamity that Mankind had never before seen, one that could not be withstood.
On all the lands, from west to east, a disruptive hand of terror was placed. The gods, in their cities, were helpless as men!
An Evil Wind, a storm born in a distant plain, a Great Calamity wrought in its path.
A death-dealing wind born in the west its way to the east has made, its course set by fate.
A storm devouring as the deluge, by wind and not by water a destroyer; by poisoned air, not tidal waves, overwhelming.
By fate, not destiny, was it engendered; the great gods, in their council, the Great Calamity had caused.
By Enlil and Ninharsag it was permitted; I alone for a halt was beseeching.
Day and night to accept what the heavens decree I argued, to no avail!
Ninurta, Enlil’s warrior son, and Nergal, my very own son, poisoned weapons in the great plain then unleashed.
That an Evil Wind shall follow the brilliance we knew not! they now cry in agony.
That the death-dealing storm, born in the west, its course to the east shall make, who could foretell! the gods now bemoan.
In their holy cities, the gods stood disbelieving as the Evil Wind toward Shumer made its way.
One after another the gods fled their cities, their temples abandoned to the wind.
In my city, Eridu, as the poisoned cloud approached, I could do nothing to stop it.
Escape to the open steppe! to the people I gave instructions; with Ninki, my spouse, the city I abandoned.
In his city Nippur, place of the Bond Heaven–Earth, Enlil could do nothing to stop it.
The Evil Wind against Nippur was onrushing. In his celestial boat, Enlil and his spouse hurriedly took off.
In Ur, Shumer’s city of kingship, Nannar to his father Enlil for help cried;
In the place of the temple that to heaven in seven steps rises, Nannar the hand of fate refused to heed.
My father who begot me, great god who to Ur had granted kingship, turn the Evil Wind away! Nannar pleaded.
Great god who decrees the fates, let Ur and its people be spared, your praises to continue! Nannar appealed.
Enlil answered his son Nannar: Noble son, your wondrous city kingship was granted; eternal reign it was not granted.
Take hold of your spouse Ningal, flee the city! Even I who decree fates, its destiny I cannot bend!
Thus did Enlil my brother speak; alas, alas, not a destiny it was!
A calamity none greater since the deluge gods and Earthlings has befallen; alas, not a destiny it was!
The Great Deluge was destined to happen; the Great Calamity of the death-dealing storm was not.
By the breach of a vow, by a council decision it was caused; by Weapons of Terror was it created.
By a decision, not destiny, were the poisoned weapons unleashed; by deliberation was the lot cast.
Against Marduk, my firstborn, did the two sons destruction direct; vengeance was in their hearts.
Ascendancy is not Marduk’s to grasp! Enlil’s firstborn shouted. With weapons I shall oppose him, Ninurta said.
Of people he raised an army, Babili as Earth’s navel to declare! Nergal, Marduk’s brother, so shouted.
In the council of the great gods, words of venom were spread.
Day and night I raised my opposing voice; peace I counseled, deploring haste.
For the second time the people have raised his heavenly image; why does opposing continue? I asked in pleading.
Have all the instruments been checked? Did not the era of Marduk in the heavens arrive? I once more inquired.
Ningishzidda, my very son, other signs of heaven cited. His heart, I knew, Marduk’s injustice to him could not forgive.
Nannar, to Enlil on Earth born, was unrelenting too. Marduk my temple in the north city his own abode made! So he said.
Ishkur, Enlil’s youngest, punishment demanded; in my lands to whore after him the people he made! he said.
Utu, son of Nannar, at Marduk’s son Nabu his wrath directed: The Place of the Celestial Chariots he tried to seize!
Inanna, twin of Utu, was furious of all; the punishment of Marduk for the killing of her beloved Dumuzi she still demanded.
Ninharsag, mother of gods and men, her gaze diverted. Why is not Marduk here? she only said.
Gibil, my own son, with gloom replied: Marduk has all entreaties put aside; by the signs of heaven his supremacy he claims!
Only with weapons will Marduk be stopped! Ninurta, Enlil’s firstborn, shouted.
Utu about protecting the Place of the Celestial Chariots was concerned; in Marduk’s hands it must not fall! So he said.
Nergal, lord of the Lower Domain, ferociously was demanding: Let the olden Weapons of Terror for obliteration be used!
At my own son I gazed in disbelief: For brother against brother the terror weapons have been foresworn!
Instead of consent, there was silence.
In the silence Enlil opened his mouth: Punishment there must be; like birds without wings the evildoers shall be,
Marduk and Nabu us of heritage are depriving; let them of the Place of the Celestial Chariots be deprived!
Let the place be scorched to oblivion! Ninurta shouted; the One Who Scorches let me be!
Excited, Nergal stood up and shouted: Let the evildoers’ cities also be upheavaled,
The sinning cities let me obliterate, let the Annihilator my name thereafter be!
The Earthlings, by us created, must not be harmed; the righteous with the sinners must not be perished, I forcefully said.
Ninharsag, my creating helpmate, was consenting: The matter is between the gods alone to settle, the people must not be harmed.
Anu, from the celestial abode, to the discussions was giving much heed.
Anu, who determines fates, from his celestial abode his voice made heard:
Let the Weapons of Terror be this once used, let the place of the rocketships be obliterated, let the people be spared.
Let Ninurta the Scorcher be, let Nergal be the Annihilator! So did Enlil the decision announce.
To them, a secret of the gods I shall reveal; the hiding place of the terror weapons to them I shall disclose.
The two sons, one mine, one his, to his inner chamber Enlil summoned. Nergal, as he went by me, his gaze averted.
Alas! I cried out without words; brother has turned against brother! Are the Prior Times fated to repeat?
A secret from the Olden Times to them Enlil was revealing, the Weapons of Terror to their hands entrusting!
Clad with terror, with a brilliance they are unleashed; all they touch to a dust heap they turn.
For brother against brother on Earth they were foresworn, neither region to affect.
Now the oath was undone, like a broken jar in useless pieces.
The two sons, full of glee, with quickened step from Enlil’s chamber emerged, for the weapons departing.
The other gods turned back to their cities; none of his own calamity had a foreboding!
Now this is the account of the Prior Times, and of the Weapons of Terror.
Before the Prior Times was the Beginning; after the Prior Times were the Olden Times.
In the Olden Times the gods came to Earth and created the Earthlings.
In the Prior Times, none of the gods was on the Earth, nor were the Earthlings yet fashioned.
In the Prior Times, the abode of the gods was on their own planet; Nibiru is its name.
A great planet, reddish in radiance; around the Sun an elongated circuit Nibiru makes.
For a time in the cold is Nibiru engulfed; for part of its circuit by the Sun strongly is it heated.
A thick atmosphere Nibiru envelops, by volcanic eruptions constantly fed.
All manner of life this atmosphere sustains; without it there will be only perishing!
In the cold period the inner heat of Nibiru it keeps about the planet, like a warm coat that is constantly renewed.
In the hot period it shields Nibiru from the Sun’s scorching rays.
In its midst rains it holds and releases, to lakes and streams giving rise.
Lush vegetation our atmosphere feeds and protects; all manner of life in the waters and on the land to sprout it caused.
After aeons of time our own species sprouted, by our own essence an eternal seed to procreate.
As our numbers grew, to many regions of Nibiru our ancestors spread.
Some tilled the land, some four-legged creatures shepherded.
Some lived on the mountains, some in the valleys their home made.
Rivalries occurred, encroachments happened; clashes occurred, sticks became weapons.
Clans gathered into tribes, then two great nations each other faced.
The nation of the north against the nation of the south took up arms.
What was held by hand to thrusting missiles was turned; weapons of thunder and brilliance increased the terror.
A war, long and fierce, engulfed the planet; brother amassed against brother.
There was death and destruction both north and south.
For many circuits desolation reigned the land; all life was diminished.
Then a truce was declared; then peacemaking was conducted.
Let the nations be united, the emissaries said to one another:
Let there be one throne on Nibiru, one king to reign over all.
Let a leader from north or from south by lot be chosen, one king supreme to be.
If he be from north, let south choose a female to be his spouse as equal queen to reign alongside.
If by lot a south male be chosen, let the north’s female be his spouse.
Husband and wife let them be, as one flesh to become.
Let their firstborn son be the successor; let a unified dynasty thus be formed, unity on Nibiru forever to establish!
In the midst of the ruins, peace was started. North and south by marriage were united.
The royal throne into one flesh combined, an unbroken line of kingship established!
The first king after peace was made, a warrior of the north he was, a mighty commander.
By lots, true and fair, was he chosen; his decrees in unity were accepted.
For his abode he built a splendid city; Agade, Unity meaning, was its name.
For his reign a royal title he was granted; An it was, the Celestial One was its meaning.
With strong arm order in the lands he reestablished; laws and regulations he decreed.
Governors for each land he appointed; restoration and reclamation was their foremost task.
Of him in the royal annals, thus it was recorded: An the lands unified, peace on Nibiru he restored.
He built a new city, the canals he repaired, food to the people he provided; there was abundance in the lands.
For his spouse the south a maiden had chosen; for both love and warring she was noted.
An.Tu was her royal title; the Leader Who Is An’s Spouse, the given name cleverly did mean.
She bore An three sons and no daughters. The firstborn son was by her named An.Ki; By An a Solid Foundation was its meaning.
Alone on the throne he was seated; a spouse to choose was twice postponed.
In his reign, concubines were brought into the palace; a son to him was not born.
The dynasty thus begun was by the death of Anki disrupted; on the foundation no offspring followed.
The middle son, though not the firstborn, the Legal Heir was pronounced.
From his youth, one of three brothers, Ib by his mother was lovingly called. The One in the Middle his name did mean.
By the royal annals An.Ib he is named: In kingship celestial; by generations, the One Who Is An’s Son the name signified.
He followed his father An on Nibiru’s throne; by count, he was the third to reign.
The daughter of his younger brother he chose to be his spouse. Nin.Ib she was called, the Lady of Ib.
A son to Anib by Ninib was born; the successor on the throne he was, the fourth by the count of kings.
By the royal name An.Shar.Gal he wished himself to be known; An’s Prince Who Is Greatest of Princes was the meaning.
His spouse, a half sister, Ki.Shar.Gal was equally named.
Knowledge and understanding were his chief ambition; the ways of the heavens he assiduously studied.
The great circuit of Nibiru he studied, its length a Shar to be he fixed.
As one year of Nibiru was the measure, by it the royal reigns to be numbered and recorded.
The Shar to ten portions he divided, two festivals thereby he pronounced.
When nearest to the Sun’s quarters, a festival of the warmth was celebrated.
When to its far abode Nibiru was distanced, the festival of coolness was decreed.
Replacing all olden festivals of tribes and nations, to unify the people the two were established.
Laws of husband and wife, of sons and daughters, by decree he established;
Customs from the first tribes he proclaimed for the whole land.
From the wars females greatly outnumbered males.
Decrees he made, one male to have more than one female for knowing.
By law, one wife as official spouse to be chosen, First Wife to be called.
By law, the firstborn son was his father’s
