This is short piece defending the work of the later Zecharia Sitchin who
is no longer here to do so himself.
Through a re interpretation of Sumerian texts, he produced an alternate
history of the past two hundred thousand years or so. This alternative history is a combination of
specifics and plausible reconstruction that informs the inquirer.
Without such work, it is impossible to advance knowledge at all. We only need look at the folly of the Clovis
horizon in the Americas
Sitchen opened the door to possibilities that were unimagined. From that new evidence is fleshing out his framework
and steadily reinforcing it. Nothing yet
has come even close to shutting it down.
Proposing the existence of alien human biological interaction has opened
our eyes to the possibility and now we have the starchild held by Pye. We may have never looked.
One basic lesson. Every usable valley
on earth out onto the continental shelf was occupied by humanity before the end
of the Ice Age. We have generally failed
to dig deep enough.
In Defense Of Zecharia Sitchin
by Lloyd Pye, Dec 2010
Zecharia
Sitchin was an author famous for "The Earth Chronicles" series of
books about the writings of the ancient Sumerians (circa 5,000 years ago) as he
interpreted them. He was one of perhaps 200 people in the world, if that many,
who could translate cuneiform, the symbolic language of the Sumerians. His work
has been very influential on my own.
A Message From Lloyd Pye
Since the death of
Zecharia Sitchin on Oct. 9, 2010, his critics have come out in droves on the
internet to try to trash his work and his legacy. Because of my well-known
regard for his work, which I heavily incorporated in Part IV
of my book Everything You
Know Is Wrong,several people have asked me to come to
Zecharia's defense now that he can no longer do it himself in the
vigorous way he was known for. With that said, here is my nutshell defense
of his work against any and all criticisms. It is simple and it is true. Please
feel free to share it with others on the internet, and/or use it to respond to
any critic you care to address:
Anyone
who says Zecharia Sitchin is a fraud or mistaken in his
translations of Sumerian texts, or anything in that vein, is busily grinding a
heavily worn axe. They base all of their complaints on the fact
that in certain key areas of the Sumerian writings, he deviates
markedly from the "classical" translations, the
vast majority of which were completed before 1947, before the terms
"UFO" or "alien" came into common usage.
When the early
translators came upon passages that could have been and should have been
interpreted the way Sitchin interpreted them, they had
no conceivable frame of reference for such terminology. Thus, they
shoehorned it to fit into their own restricted world views,
and because this nonsense was created by "experts" of
that time, modern experts are inevitably brainwashed by their education process
to believe no other translation is needed, much less preferable.
This intellectual
claptrap has become established as the "preferred" and
"accepted" translations that critics claim Stichin should have
respected and stuck with in the way they are obligated to
do. Sitchin rightly jettisoned the nonsense and translated the texts more
like they were actually written, calling an alien an alien, so to speak,
and this gross offense to modern academic sensibilities is
what classic scholars consider a sacrilege to their mindset.
I have no doubt
that, in the fullness of time, historians will consider Zecharia
Sitchin vastly more correct than any mainstream pundit alive at this
moment. Why? Because modern scholars endure years of intense training that
forces them to consider the work of prior scholars sacrosanct, which
produces a virtual army of close-minded sycophants who, ultimately,
will be dismissed as laughably wrong.
