It all depends on what or who you choose to believe...the first recorded language, from Ancient Sumeria, stated that Nibiru was the Planet of a "Star" that has collapsed and is now "dark"
Any star that "collapses" and goes dark would have to be a star that goes supernova and subsequently forms a black hole. No smaller stars "collapse", or go dark in a hurry. Down around the size of our sun they swell into a huge red giant star at the end of their lifetimes, and then the outer layers just puff off leaving behind a white dwarf. Any smaller than our sun and those stars haven't been around long enough to die (as the lifespan of orange and red dwarves exceed the estimated age of the universe).
So, when talking about a star massive enough to form a black hole, you've got two problems: (a) star brightness increases exponentially. a star that bright would have a very narrow habitable zone extremely far from the parent body. It's unlikely that a rocky planet would form that far out. More importantly though is (b) stars this large have gravitational pulls high enough that that eat through their existing fuel in an alarming rate. While a star like the sun will live roughly 10 billion years, stars large enough to form a black hole when they die typically will only live a few hundred million years at most. This is an insufficient amount of time for life to evolve on a suitable planet even if it were present.
There's also the minor problem of (c), in that any and all planets orbiting such a star would have been destroyed when it went supernova.
...beings came to Earth from that planet... and were named in the 6th chapter of Genesis, verse 4...the "Nepthlim"...literally translated as "those who came from above". The Sumerian cuneiform tablets, found in the ruins of the library at Alexandria, among other things, describe how to get to Earth, from their planet.
Which is nonsense, as all stars in the galaxy orbit the galactic center at different rates. That's why over time the constellations in the sky change. Any "directions" on how to get from one star to another would be accurate only for a very limited time.
They also called Earth the 7th Planet...which it is if you count from the outside in. Remember, this was in a time before telescopes, so people in those days had no knowledge of the outer planets.
Due tell just HOW Earth is the 7th planet counting from the outside?
If we count using our modern definition then we get Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth. Nope, that makes it #6. Ok, count Pluto as a planet then you say? Well in that case you have to count all the other spherical objects that caused the halabalu that caused us to demote Pluto:
Sedna, Eris, Quaoar, Makemake, Haumea, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Ceres, Mars, Earth.
Nope, Earth is at least #13 (and probably further - we're constantly discovering more Pluto-size bodies in the outer solar system - which is why we demoted it - if we continued to call Pluto a planet we very well might have hundreds of planets, which is just too hard for the school kids to memorize) if we start counting those.
This was thousands of years before Christ, ....this has been reliably translated by many scholars, not the least of whom is Zacheria Sitchen, who was a dead languages scholar and translator in the 50's and 60's. He wrote the Earth Chronicles beginning in 1976, and HAS YET to be successfully proven wrong, and has stated he will debate any person, based on the accuracy of his work, at any time. So, I have talked with him several times, twice in person, and he is the genuine article. Blather all you want, but read his books first before you form an opinion, thank you! BoomLover
A translation is one thing. That being the truth is another. Tons of ancient cultures wrote all sorts of things about the world and who might be causing things in it. They didn't understand what caused lightning so to them, Zeus was offing somebody with a thunderbolt. They didn't understand the mechanics of what caused a dessert, so to them whoever was driving the sun drove it too close to the Earth in that spot and scorched it. They're all interesting stories, but in the end they're just that: stories.
And yes, I have read at least one of Sitchen books. "The 12th Planet" to be exact. I stand by my position that he's a kook pushing psuedo-scientific nonsense.
Trust me, 2012 will come and go just as the other doomsday predictions have too. When we're all alive come January 1st 2013 they'll just claim they were "a little off" and push their date of our impending doom back another 5 or 6 years so they can sell some books, make some movies, and stir up a little more panic hoping that nobody catches onto their scheme before they die.
