The search for the elusive Planet X continues. Is an undiscovered planet influencing the motions of Uranus and Neptune? Is this mysterious body Nibiru, a legendary world described by Sumerians over 6,000 years ago? Is this planet approaching the Earth, bringing with it death and destruction? Will Nibiru bring the end of the world that many think is coming in 2012?
John Couch Adams was the first to suggest that the deviations of Uranus and Neptune were caused by another planet. In 1841, Adams began studying these planetary deviations. Later, astronomer Urbain Le Verrier claimed the motion anomalies were caused by two planets. In 1877, David Todd made the first attempt to find Planet X. The United States Naval Observatory proved the orbital disturbances shown by Uranus and Neptune in 1991.
6,000 years ago, the Sumerians made a detailed description of the Solar System which included a planet they called Nibiru. Nibiru means “planet of the crossing”. The Sumerian depiction of this planet matches the specifications of Planet X. Supposedly, this planet has not been seen because it has an elliptical, comet-like orbit. This orbit takes it into deep space, beyond the orbit of Pluto.
Some people believe that Nibiru is Planet X, which is approaching the Earth, perhaps to destroy it. Based on his translation of Sumerian texts, Zecharia Sitchin wrote a book called “The Twelfth Planet”. It tells the story of a race of people called the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki came to Earth from Nibiru thousands of years ago. As Nibiru approaches, researchers say Earth will be struck by massive, catastrophic changes.
There is even a theory that ties together Nibiru and 2012. The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, which implies to many people that the world will end on that date. The Nibiru theory holds that Nibiruwill enter the inner solar system and bring disaster upon the Earth on that date. This is also a conspiracy theory because supposedly astronomers are tracking Nibiru, however, the information is being kept from the public. But most scientists say that the world is not about to end. They are surprised at the anger of people who seem to want the world to end.
SUMMARY
Scientists have long searched for the mysterious Planet X, which they say is disrupting the orbital motions of Uranus and Neptune. Many people believe that this planet is Nibiru, which Sumerians supposedly discovered about 6,000 years ago. Some also think that Nibiru could approach the Earth and cause a devastating catastrophe. This might occur on December 21, 2012, when the Mayan calendar runs out.
