西琴是小說家（已經過世），卻自詡為考古專家。通過對蘇美爾和亞述尼尼微圖書館遺留下來的石板書的所謂考證（實為添加和歪曲），從而寫成了十幾本暢銷小說。注意：那些書是小說。卻被人錯誤認為是事實或史實，貽害無窮。許多人的非分想法大多來自西琴的小說。

Zecharia Sitchin was an author of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Sitchin attributed the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he stated was a race of extraterrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru.
