RECENTLY, the Vatican has expressed interest in extraterrestrial life and the possibility that the modern-day UFO phenomenon may in reality be attempts at human contact by another "celestial race". Recent meetings between noted Hebrew scholar Zecharia Sitchin and Monsignor Corrado Balducci, Prelate of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and the Propagation of the Faith (official sensor of the Vatican) does indeed substantiate the claim that the Vatican has been monitoring the situation for many years and is now expressing official "Papal" interest. When asked by an Italian newscrew for television if the Vatican has an official opinion on extraterrestrial contact, Balducci said: "There must be something in it." He also said that "extraterrestrials could be beings who are like us-more probably, beings more advanced than us...although in different proportions than human beings on Earth." A rather profound statement coming form the most powerful religious institution on earth eh? I suppose they see the truth coming, and seek to find a way to keep the "Masses" under their control when the truth is finally revealed. It amazes me that in this day in age, the deeply religious still deny anything scientific which invalidates or contradicts the teachings of the Bible or any other religious doctrine (e.g., radiocarbon dating offering evidence that the Earth is older than the Bible claims). It also amazes me that the devout followers of the Catholic church can't see the hypocrisy. I mean let's face it, the Catholic church is worth millions...um...make that billions...Ooopps, sorry....it's actually "Trillions" of dollars! Anyway, don't get me started.

SITCHIN'S explicative comparisons of similar but disparate mythologies provide a fuller understanding of world religions. Among other things, Sitchin's investigations indicate that there may be an outpost in orbit around Mars preventing current humans from getting there (a fact verified by both U.S.and Russian space probe problems in that neighborhood). But the primary focus of this impressive research is ancient Sumer. The decipherment of that culture's clay tablets, buried for millennia, reveals roots that stretch all the way back to 450,000 B.C. The reason Sitchin was motivated to learn to read cuneiform tablets was his initial curiosity as a

boy concerning the meaning of "Nefilim", an enigmatic group mentioned in the Old Testament. Translated, "Nefilim" means "those who came down." "Came down from where" is the starting point that makes the Earth Chronicles better reading than any Sherlock Holmes mystery. In order to unlock the mystery, Sitchin takes on a journey all around the world to ancient cities and former civilizations.

IT would be impossible to do justice to his research in such a brief review as this one; however, there are some very significant findings on the existence of this other race of people. One the rather compelling is the "face on Mars," the structure in the area called , Cydonia on the Red Planet (Mars). ~Now this is really groovy---> When the relationship of the face on Mars is analysed for its distance to other pyramidal structures also discovered on Mars, the geometric relationship is found to be "identical" to the distances of the Egyptian Sphinx and the Pyramids in the surrounding areas of Egypt.
