Kenneth Mosburg: Everyone NEEDS TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION/HISTORY of HUMANS!

If you don't know about the Annunaki (Those who from Heaven to Earth came) then you don't really know about human history. Ms. Lynn does a good introduction. Soft and not as broad based as Zacharia Sitchin's 16 +2 (Niece summation) books. Religious and Academic historians are usually full of fertilizer and what they tell you is their fear induced products. Religious "EGO-MANIACAL FANATICS" have deceived us since the beginning of the Catholic church which is the oldest Christian religion after the Iranian religion of Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism helps build a foundation of Gratitude, the most valuable habit a human can develop. This book is a great soft point to start. Every author may have slightly different perspectives about some details. I've seen a lot of experts I question based on Zach's books. UCLA, per Billy Carson on youtube video, has Clay tablets for free to read at CDLI.

Diego: Anyway you take this book, at face value or as fiction, nonetheless a great read and thought provoking. Do you take the blue pill and all is right with the world and you know what is right and wrong and who are the good guys and the bad guys, or do you take the red pill and see how deep the the rabbit hole goes?

John P.: Dr. Lynn carefully lays out the evidence of advanced living beings who settled in the Near East around 8200 BCE giving the arts and sciences along with the many concepts of civilization to the primitive people living there. There is a lot missing from this account (such as the origin of these beings) but there is almost nothing to challenge in her review of this history which has been so ignored by mainstream archeology.

Kindle Customer: A very different slant to the Anunnaki than Michael Telling or Sitchin.
Written in an easy to understand down to earth style Heather Lynn is not out to make conspiracies from the Sumerian culture or Anunnaki but to give her viewpoint as a Historian.
Would recommend anyone who has an interest in the Anunnaki and Mesopotamian life and the Sumerians.

Helen: Great researched material on the subject without the ancient aliens hysteria. Parts where heavy with academic style content but that could be my naivety of the sections discussed. Will highly recommend.

Violet Bunny: There were parts I didn't care for, or agree with - but isn't that the case with most books? I feel she did make the case for alternative archeology/history (which is what I'm interested in anyway), but it would've been easier reading if she'd broken those 40-page chapters in half!

Humanities Grad: Before getting this book I had seen some other sources, and was aware of disputes concerning the actual meaning of Sumerian texts. Translation is challenging, and whole theories may hang on what a word signifies in a modern language that may not be applicable in that ancient time. In the video of Irving Finkel's lecture, given at the British Museum, I learned that the breakthrough for translating the clay tablets was similar to the discovery of the Rosetta stone which had cracked open the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

In the case of the Sumerian cuneiform writing, it was the King Darius three-language inscription on the side of a mountain that provided a bridge from a known early language to the unknown even-earlier one.

So Heather Lynn does acknowledge the translation issue in a central way. One interesting point she brought up called into question Stitchin's entire 12th-planet theory because the word he took to mean a planet could also have several other interpretations.

Thus it was wise for this author to take a more 'agnostic' type of stance concerning the identify of the mysterious and apparently-technologically-advanced founders of the Sumerian...

flyingleatherneck: A really engaging, fascinating, well written book that has curiosity, great knowledge, some wonderful quotes of wisdom, convincing intuition and instincts... as well as wonderful objectivity.

The last quarter becomes a little less focussed, that would be a minor criticism, starting with the publication of a long, rambling letter received by the author from a stranger proposing a giant, somewhat incoherent, soul-sucking conspiracy by both aliens and elites. Why it is given such prominence here remains baffling, because it’s not really followed up, interrogated, or assimilated into the overall flow.

If I was the editor, I would have put a big, long, red line through all of that and said, “Sum that up in two sentences max and move on.” There are many such strands thrown up in the last quarter which are not tied together as cohesively, organically and relevantly as the first three quarters of the book. Also, typos pop up in the last quarter of the book, it just seems not as rigorous.

Overall though, there is so much depth of knowledge and thought provoking historical information provided throughout, along with some very objective analysis and hypotheses...
