19 Sitchin’s entire Earth Chronicles series includes titles such as Stairway to Heaven and The End of Days. We can observe Sitchin’s adoption of 2012 in his DVD called 2012: Will the Anunnaki Return? In it, “with a mass of evidence, [Sitchin] analyzes Mayan lore and ancient calendars, and guides the listener through biblical prophecies, to arrive at startling conclusions and precise predictions regarding the End of Days.” http://www.sitchin.com.
