Demitri Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 It is nice to have so many critical thinkers in one spot. It is my hope that being actual critical thinkers, it is not the habit of those in this forum to simply dismiss an issue without first placing it under scrutiny. It is with this assumption that I bring up this topic.I read the book "The Lost Book of Enki" by Zecharia Sitchin, and found it to be very interesting from a critical thinking viewpoint. For those who have not read this book (or know who the author is), the book is a translation of a Sumarian text which tells a story about the Annunaki, with some stuff about Nibiru.This is usually the point I encounter one of two problems when trying to dicuss this topic with people:1> I come across a fanatic that is pumped full of misinformation. This person tends to talk about whatever hype they heard: the end of the world, or how they once saw Nibiru, or other such garbage. None of which has anything to do with the Sumarian texts and what they say about the Annunaki.-OR-2> I come across those who have only heard the fanatics, and therefore disgard the entire "Annnunaki/Nibiru bullshit" without another thought, believing they have heard enough to know it's all crap.I must admit that I was one of the second type of person myself for quite a long while. I did a small bit of looking around when I first heard the words "Nibiru" and "Annunaki", and only found fanatic websites and You Tube videos all full of obvious crap (and in my opinion they truly are crap, and should rightfully be regarded as such).Then...I came across this book. It isn't exactly the easiest thing I've found to read, but I read it all. The first thing I realized was the fanatics really are as full of shit as I first thought they were; and they had aboslutely no idea what the Sumarian texts actually said about the Annunaki and Nibiru.Afterwards, I came across a couple of talks by Zecharia Sitchin where he rants about his frustrations concerning the misinformation which has resulted in obscuring the hard work he has done translating the texts. I can empathize with his sentiments.If anyone has read The Lost Book of Enki, I would love to hear what your thoughts are. In the mean time, I will begin paraphrasing specific parts of the Sumarian story for discussion. I will post them in another post in this thread.Cheers!~Demtiri
