But Sitchin asked himself why one of the key players in these earliest of sagas wouldn't have record- ed for posterity "the How and Where and When and Why of it all", and is convinced that Enki, "the very leader who had com- manded the first group of astronauts" from Nibiru, did. So, based on the circumstantial evidence, Sitchin has recreated what the memoirs of Enki might have been like. "The Words of Lord Enki" are written in verse on a series of 14 "tablets", as "dictat- ed" by Enki to a master scribe, Endubsar. They tell of the foundation of Eridu after splashdown from a spaceship, goldmining operations on Mission Earth, goings-on on a way-station to Mars, the genetic manipula- tion that created Homo sapiens, Nibiru's reg- ular orbit, the Deluge and, more recently, a nuclear calamity that destroyed Sumeria. This is an epic tale, whether or not it tells the truth of our ancient past, and Sitchin's treatment is an extraordinary achievement.
