Another point (and the hieroglyphs are thoroughly explained, already)...but, in this post I reference, you mention Sitchin. AS IF he actually is worthy of giving credibility to??
NO, he isn't. He was a scam artist, an entertainer....in other words, a liar.
Of course, it is possible he honestly believed in everything he wrote and said...in which case he wasn't an intentional liar, but just delusional, and off his rocker crazy.
This is the same guy, remember, who made claims of the mystery planet "nibiru" (which does NOT exist, BTW), and once he got himself painted into a corner, by tying down an "orbital period" for that "planet" of 3,600 years, rational people were able to expose him, and his timeline of events, and future "predictions". So THEN, since he was trapped by the "3,600 years" figure, he had to alter the time when "nibiru' would be near, in the Inner Solar System, again.
I just posted, in another thread, with a member who informed me Sitchin revised "niburu's" approach to the year 2900 AD. BUT, two years ago, this SAME ATS member wrote in a post that Sitchin predicted its return in 2085 AD!!! So, Sitchin "fans" didn't seem to notice when he kept changing his "story"!!
BTW...again, like I pointed out with the thread title here, the "1,000 years"....the timeline doesn't match up with historical records. Same with Sitchin, and his "nibiru". IF it was going to "be here" in year 2085, then travelling at normal orbita velocity, it would have to be close enough (like, Neptune's orbit distance, or so) to be observed from Earth. It isn't seen, by ANYONE.
SO.....he changed it to 2900 AD. BUT....with a 3,600-year orbit, that would mean last time it "swung by" our neighborhood, would have been around 700 B.C.E., right??
Yet, where are the records, in the histories of the civilizations then? Ancient Rome? Persia? CHINA!???
NO, hanging one's hat on Sitchin and his tales is a futile endeavor.......oh, and one more thing.
His "translations" of ancient Sumerian texts? Wrong, all the way 'round, as has been pointed out by actual scholars, and experts on the Sumerian language.......

Here are a couple of sources.
Not sure it needs to be debunked really... or if it even matters... people who believe will believe, no matter what the actual facts are.

Too bad. You still haven't realized that Sitchin was a fraud?
How many sources will it take, before your trust in him is finally broken, as his true nature is revealed? I know, it's hard, once you have "believed" in something someone said, to find that they were either lying for profit, or just plain crazy.
You should read this thread:

Still waiting, BTW, for that "proof", as promised it this thread's title?? "Ancient aircraft" that had eyes?? :shk:
The consensus seems to be far, far away from that contention (aircraft), for many other reasons too. Small pieces of gold jewelry do NOT "proof" make.
