It was only a year ago that a friend recommended I read "The 12th Planet" by Zecharia Sitchin. I will admit, I was skeptical. Not because I knew the general concept of Sitchin's theory, but because I was still at a place in my life where the thought of little green aliens existing was more than I could handle!
Yes, funny, I know, but it's true. I had an alien phobia...literally. I couldn't stomach the thought of even watching movies that contained alien story lines, nor would I watch television specials on alien life. Now I had this person who I considered very sane suggesting that I purchase and actually read a book about aliens.
I have to tell you, that was the best 7 bucks I've ever spent! The only other book to have made such an impact on my life had been "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey. I know, it's a pretty big leap from Satanism to the theory of our ancestors being from another planet!
But seriously, I started reading "The 12th Planet" and couldn't put it down. I have been a huge ancient history fan my entire life and all of a sudden I was presented with history I'd never heard about. The Egyptians, yes, I was quite familiar with. How many people haven't been exposed to some sort of knowledge about Egypt? But prior to Egypt, nothing...except what I'd learned in Sunday school years before.
I remember almost putting down the book when Sitchin began making biblical references. Although I was raised Christian, I am now an Atheist. I'd had enough preaching when I was younger and I was just about to add Sitchin to my "Jesus freak" list, when again, my friend stepped in and suggested that I continue reading.
I consumed the remainder of the book and have been absorbing all of Sitchin's work since. I am most familiar with Sitchin but also learning that there are other authors and scholars who have similar theories and am anxious to start reading their works.
This is how AAA came to be. My now insatiable search for more evidence, more facts, more anything that will confirm what I have come to believe...that we are indeed carrying alien D.N.A. in our veins.
