It is at the same time extraordinary because you have a person (Mr Sitchin) that for the first time translates the ancient writings with a 21st century brain, and also terrifying because, as Enki thinks, the past may be foretell the future!The descriptions of genetic engineering are suspiciously close to what we already know in modern days.
