Jerusalem¶
Jerusalem is one of the most contested and sacred cities in human history, holy to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In Zecharia Sitchin's Anunnaki narrative, Jerusalem occupies a unique position as the Mount of the Crossing — a critical navigation point in the Anunnaki landing corridor.
Biblical Significance¶
Jerusalem appears repeatedly in the Old Testament as: - Salem — The city of Melchizedek, who blessed Abraham (Genesis 14:18) - Mount Moriah — Where Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22:2) - Zion — The City of David - The Temple Mount — Where Solomon's Temple stood
Sitchin's Interpretation¶
The Mount of the Crossing¶
Sitchin argued that Jerusalem's Temple Mount (Mount Moriah) was the "Mount of the Crossing" — the Moriyah — a term he translated as "the place of the rocketship" or "the place from which the SHEM ascends."
"Abraham went to the Moriah, the Mount of the Crossing — the place from which the rockets of the Anunnaki ascended to the heavens."
The "Stairway to Heaven"¶
Sitchin reinterpreted Jacob's dream at Bethel (near Jerusalem):
"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it." (Genesis 28:12)
This "ladder" was a literal description of an Anunnaki rocketship (SHEM) launch, with the "angels" being the Anunnaki themselves.
The Foundation Stone¶
The Foundation Stone (Even ha-Shetiyah) beneath the Dome of the Rock was, according to Jewish tradition, the place from which the world was created. Sitchin saw it as a guidance point — possibly a crystal or beacon used for spacecraft navigation.
The Landing Corridor¶
Jerusalem was the central waypoint in the Anunnaki landing corridor:
| Landmark | Role |
|---|---|
| Ararat | Northern approach |
| Jerusalem (Moriyah) | "Mount of the Crossing" — guidance |
| Baalbek | Launch platform |
| Giza | Navigation beacon |
| Sinai | Spaceport (the actual landing strip) |
