Admiration for ancient writers

It is amazing that so much information is available today. Zacharias Sitchin expresses his admiration for the countless people who never received credit for recording ancient knowledge:

“When we consider that these ancient texts come to us over a period of millennia, we must have admiration for the ancient writers who recorded, copied and translated the earliest texts, probably often without knowing what certain terms and expressions originally meant, while always stubbornly sticking to the relevant traditions to ensure an accurate account.

He also demonstrates the internal consistency of their accounts, stating:

“That the first settlements on Earth were founded by astronauts from another planet, as dramatically described by the Sumerians. Numerous texts refer consistently to the starting point, which is always as follows: 432,000 years ago, before the Flood, i.e. the Great Deluge, “the Respected” came to Earth “from their own planet with” rocket ships.
