The 12th planet opens with a lot of information that might take some to process but as you proceed, you will go back to the first few pages and draw up a chart of characters that are frequently mentioned in the book, so that you get the story right. Historians, archeologists and scientists attest to this fact, so much so that when NASA launched Voyager, an unmanned space exploration ship in 1976, they placed a golden record with over 55 earth languages, greeting the unknown and first among the languages was Akkadian, the language of Sumer. Sumerian civilization was one among the early civilizations on earth. The 12th planet is a non fiction book that attempts to theorize the early Sumerian cuneiform (clay tablets) and present its information to the public. And needless to say, this was one of the most fascinating books that I have read in that subject. I had long wanted to read this book and the entire series of Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin. As a history and pseudoscience buff, I have always been fascinated by alternate science theories that have been put forth for the evolution of man.
