Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) was a writer and linguist best known for his ancient astronaut theory, which posits that an extraterrestrial race, the Anunnaki, intervened in the development of human civilization. His work is based on the interpretation of Sumerian texts and other ancient writings, which he considered evidence of extraterrestrial visits in antiquity. Throughout his career, Sitchin wrote numerous books on the subject, attracting both followers and detractors.
Among his most notable works are The 12th Planet (1976), The Wars of Gods and Men (1991), and The End of Days (2002). His books explore theories about the creation of humanity, the influence of the Anunnaki on ancient civilizations, and the relationship between gods and celestial bodies. While his works have been popular in the realm of pseudoscience, they have not received major literary awards or widespread acceptance in academia.
