Pseudohistorie (Pseudohistory)

Mainstream scholars classify Zecharia Sitchin's work as pseudohistory — a body of work that claims to be historical but uses methods that are not accepted by the academic mainstream.

Characteristics of Pseudohistory

1. Selective Evidence — Only evidence that supports the theory is cited
2. Lack of Peer Review — The work was not vetted by academic peers
3. No Falsifiability — The theory cannot be tested or disproven
4. Conspiracy Narratives — Claims that mainstream scholars are hiding the truth
5. Misuse of Sources — Ancient texts are misread and misinterpreted
