You write “The sun, of course, doesn’t move ”
Correction – it does move as all planets, stars (suns), and galaxy is moving also ….
that is proved, theory say that whole cosmos is moving

De Lafayette is not important to me at all i can read his books easy and take what i like, i just thought that YOU will be interested in someone who claim to speak 24 languages, and speak "anunaki" language, since you did that already once. If you don't care, it is OK, i know where i stand ,certainly not on his side, I'm not a linguist,but if his translations are correct, than we deal with ancient astronauts and all bibles are hoax. I wasn't giving you a homework, it look like you care K. Hi Mike,

Instead of claiming his expertise, can you send me his resume or academic CV? What are my points in asking these questions? Some simple ones: 1. It matters not how many publications one has if one is writing only for the uninformed. Rather, when one subjects one's views to experts in the relevant fields (i.e., subjects one's work to peer review) and they determine that such writings pass muster, THEN and only then should we care. 2. If Mr. de Lafayette lacks real credentials from real universities, then he is a liar when it comes to his credibility for saying anything about any ancient language. I don't know if he's lying. I'm giving you a chance to defend him. 3. Who cares if he "takes Sitchin further" when Sitchin's material is bogus? Taking ideas that do not exist in ancient Mesopotamian records is like taking the anatomical study of unicorns "further." Caring about his work would therefore be a waste of time.

His Name is Maximillian De Lafayette. Maybe I'm taking your time with another nonsense,but his translations of"Ana'kh"? Annunaki , and many more are out of this world, maybe you would like to take a look This is what i find about him,he doesn't exist on Wikipedia=not even funny,eh? "Maximillien DE Lafayette wrote more than 1,200 books and numerous encyclopedias; 857 books and 9 encyclopedias are published. He has been writing for the past 50 years. He is considered as one of the world leading linguists (Ancient Languages) and historians of ancient civilizations.

That put you right at his level. Now you make me feel that there actually is a lot of good stuff in Sitchin's books. You act to my opinion like 16 century inquisitors, protecting your bible,which he never attacked, but as you say, he made wrong interpretations or translations... lol P.S. If you find my English bad, it is because i never attend English schools, salute I believe you are linguist and excellent in Hebrew knowing your bible ,and all you claim,
