Gerald Clark's synthesis of the Anunnaki literature, working from Sitchin's translations forward. The book treats the Anunnaki as both the engineers of humanity and a continuing presence behind contemporary geopolitics — the most conspiratorial of the modern Anunnaki books, but grounded in close readings of cuneiform sources as interpreted by Zecharia Sitchin.
Reception
Reference text for the conspiracy-adjacent branch of the Anunnaki canon. Clark's reading of Sitchin's cuneiform translations is not accepted in mainstream Assyriology or archaeology, where Sitchin's own interpretations are regarded as idiosyncratic and without scholarly support. Within the ancient-astronaut genre, the book is frequently cited as a comprehensive synthesis.
Frequently asked
What is The Anunnaki of Nibiru about?
Gerald Clark presents a reading of Zecharia Sitchin's Sumerian cuneiform translations, arguing that the Anunnaki are an extraterrestrial species from a planet called Nibiru who engineered modern humans as a labour force and, according to Clark, remain active behind contemporary geopolitics. The book is the most overtly conspiratorial entry in the modern Anunnaki genre.
How does this book relate to Zecharia Sitchin's work?
Clark builds directly on Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series, treating Sitchin's Sumerian translations as foundational. He extends that framework to connect ancient Anunnaki narratives to present-day themes, including what he calls the New World Order. Mainstream Assyriology does not accept Sitchin's translations as accurate.
Is The Anunnaki of Nibiru accepted as mainstream scholarship?
No. Its interpretation of Sumerian cuneiform texts is not accepted in mainstream Assyriology or archaeology. Sitchin's translations, on which Clark's work depends, are widely regarded as idiosyncratic among professional scholars of ancient Near Eastern languages. The book belongs to the speculative ancient-astronaut genre.
