Sinai Spaceport¶
The Sinai Spaceport was, according to Zecharia Sitchin, the primary landing and take-off facility for the Anunnaki on Earth. Located in the Sinai Peninsula, it was the central hub of the Anunnaki space transportation system.
The Location¶
Sitchin identified the Sinai spaceport on the central plateau of the Sinai Peninsula, specifically:
- The area around the mountain known to Egyptians as the "Stairway of the Gods"
- The region near what became St. Catherine's Monastery
- The flat, elevated plateau suitable for spacecraft landings
The Landing Corridor¶
The spaceport was part of a precisely aligned corridor:
| Landmark | Role |
|---|---|
| Ararat | Northern approach landmark |
| Jerusalem | Mount Moriah — guidance waypoint |
| Baalbek | Launch platform |
| Giza | Primary navigation beacon |
| Sinai | Main spaceport landing field |
The "Stairway of the Gods"¶
The Egyptian name for the Sinai mountains — Ta-ur or "the stairway" — preserved the memory of the spaceport's function. The biblical "ladder" in Jacob's dream and the Sumerian DUR.AN.KI all referred to the same thing: the connection point between Earth and the heavens.
Cuneiform Evidence¶
The Sinai Spaceport is a concept from Sitchin's interpretation, not directly named in cuneiform texts. However, the related Sumerian term DUR.AN.KI ("Bond Heaven-Earth") and references to landing places for the gods are attested in the cuneiform record.
- CDLI Corpus: DUR.AN.KI — Browse tablets mentioning the Bond Heaven-Earth
- Key tablet: The Etana Epic (CDLI P348833) describes a flight to heaven that Sitchin interpreted as a spacecraft launch. The Enuma Elish and various Sumerian cylinder seals depict "celestial boats" that Sitchin read as spacecraft using the Sinai landing corridor.
