Nibiru

Vladimir N. Gercke - 1 February 1990

Zecharia Sitchin’s 12th Planet, called “Nibiru” by the Sumerians and “Marduk” by the Babylonians, if it exists has five times the mass of Earth, travels an elliptic orbit around the Sun every 700 to 1000 years, and was known to the Sumerians 6000 years ago. Our little Moon produces tides of 10 meters (32.8 feet) or so. Nibiru would produce a “Super-tide” on Earth, pulling the waters of our oceans up to where Noah’s Ark was found on Mt. Ararat at the end of the “40 days and 40 nights” of rain. Of course, rain could not have produced such a flood as the Great Deluge, but Nibiru could have.

The remnants of marine life found on Lake Titicaca at an elevation of 12,500 feet in the Andes, can be explained without pushing the Andes up. Nibiru pulled the ocean waters up as it passed, filled a depression, then released the waters after passing, leaving Lake Titicaca high in the mountains. If Nibiru was red hot when it passed Earth and Mars, it burned their surfaces, destroying all life and vegetation. Earth recovered, Mars did not. Earth’s recovery was due to the fact that a few people were able to survive in underground cities.

When will Nibiru return to Earth’s vicinity? Oné of the dates in Maya astronomy calculations give it exactly to the day, but which one? It may coincide with a date that modern geology gives us when the Earth’s magnetic field was reversed. Another clue may be in old Chinese texts, because the Maya and the Chinese were the same people once, with the same language and same writing. It has been said that some old Chinese and Tibetan scholars could read Maya glyphs. Maybe one of them still can.
