PREFACE:
Is this why the Sun is going whacko with a dramatic
global increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes and
superstorms worldwide? See
http://www.ujszo.com/clanok.asp?rub=online&cl=108934
for the most recent superstorm.
It's interesting to note Sitchin's reasoning here -- why establishment
scientists have debunked him; his discovery of the ancient claim that Earth
had been visited by Extraterrestrials, the Anunnaki, from the 12th planet .
It is no different today with the UFO cover-ups while a secret
military-industrial government suppresses the advanced technologies for
energy, health and global peace while developing their own UFO's,
superweapons and global population control "techniques". Are the Anunnaki
returning with the 12th planet? Are Earthlings now mature enough to claim
their sovereign rights amidst the Galactic
Federation?-CR

THE CASE OF THE LURKING PLANET
by ZECHARIA SITCHIN May 2001
"Far beyond the solar system's nine known planets, a body as massive as
Mars may once have been part of our planetary system -- and it might still be
there."
The lead paragraph in a science-fiction script?
The lead paragraph from an article by Zecharia Sitchin about Nibiru?
No. It is the lead paragraph in a report in Science News of April 7, 2001
headlined "A Comet's Odd Orbit Hints At
Hidden Planet."
The article reports the conclusions of an
international team of astronomers who have studied an unusual comet discovered
last year, designated 2000 CR/105. I t follows a vast elliptical orbit around
our Sun -- an orbit that takes it way out to some 4.5 billion kilometers from
the Sun, and brings it back at its closest to the Sun to the vicinity of
Neptune; it is an orbit whose period "takes roughly 3,300 years"
(according to Sky&Telescope News of April 5, 2001).
"Such an oblong orbit is usually a sign that an object has come under the
gravitational influence of a massive body," wrote R. Cowen in Science
News. Was this the gravitational pull of Neptune? In a study to be published in
the Journal Icarus, the team of astronomers (led by Brett Gladman of the
Observatoire de la C'e d'Azur in Nice, France), after analyzing all the
possibilities, does not think so. An alternative solution, they say, is that
"the comet's orbit could be the handiwork of an as-yet unseen planet" --
as massive as Mars -- "that would have to lie some 200 AU from the Sun,"
in the so-called Kuiper Belt of cometary and other planetary debris. This would
also explain "why many members of the Belt
have orbits that angle away from the plane in which the nine known planets orbit
the Sun."
"Undoubtedly, something massive knocked the hell
out of the Belt,"
Harold F. Levison of the Southwest Research institute in
Boulder, Colorado, told the magazine. "The question is whether it is still
there now."
"Comet's Course Hints at Mystery Planet,"
was how the journal Science headlined the
discovery news in its issue of 6 April 2001. The special report, written by the
Dutch astronomer Govert Schilling, summed up the findings in the following lead
paragraph:
"A Supercomet following an
unexpectedly far-flung path around the sun suggests that an unidentified
planet once lurked in the outermost reaches of the solar system, an
international team of astronomers reports. What's more, the mysterious
object may still be there."
--------- comments from Zecharia
Sitchin:
- Now, As the Sumerians Said?
-
- Readers of my books may well join me now in saying:
So what else is new?
- Ever since the publication of my first book (The
12th Planet) in 1976 I have asserted that Sumerian and other ancient
Near Eastern texts and depictions showed familiarity with a complete Solar
System that included, beside the Sun and the Moon, ten (not nine) planets --
the tenth planet (or twelfth member of the Solar System) having a vast
elliptical orbit that lasts 3,600 years. Its Sumerian name was Nibiru.
- I have-suggested that Sumerian/Akkadian texts such as
Enuma Elish (also called the Babylonian Epic of Creation) were not
mythological tales, but records of sophisticated advanced knowledge.
Establishment scientists and scholars (see a previous article, The Case of
the Misplaced Teapot, as an example) resist such an inevitable conclusion
because it requires the acceptance of the ancient claim that Earth had been
visited by Extraterrestrials, the ANUNNAKI ("Those Who From Heaven to
Earth Came") of Sumerian lore.
-
- According to the ancient texts as interpreted by me,
Nibiru was a planet ejected from some other planetary system in outer space
that was captured into our Solar System as it passed near Neptune. It became
involved in a collision with a pre-existing planet where the debris of the
Asteroid Belt are now. As a result of that collision, some 4 billion years
ago, the Earth and the Moon came to be where they are now.
-
- And, what do you know? In an article titled
Neptune Attacks! In the 7 April 2001 issue of the magazine New
Scientist, Ivan Semeniak wrote thus:
- "There is new evidence that a sudden
barrage of deadly debris crashed against the Earth and the Moon 3.9
billion years ago? What triggered this onslaught? Something in the
structure of the Solar System must have changed."
- The "something", I am more certain than
ever, was
Nibiru.
