Sitchin is a fraud. He makes claims about Sumerian astronomy in which he claims to translate tablets that do not exist. Very little is known about Sumerian astronomy because the tablets which are thought to have been written have not been located.

I realize that you personally claim to have been mentored by someone that also worked on the translations. Unfortunately it appears that your mentor also fooled you and has no academic credentials or has worked with the people that you were told she worked with. That's quite sad that someone bamboozled you. They should not have done that.
Yes, yes, we've all seen you assert this over and over... with never a hint of what makes your perception the correct one. But since this is not your field of specialty what you say can only be your own personal opinion... and thus can be prone to being incorrect should further information come to light.
Yes... nicely put. I just came off a one hour phone call with her and now have the information about the names she gained her degrees with that gave her exactly 17 letters after her name.
And due to your displayed arrogance of the past I will not share this with you.
The notion that Earth was cracked in half and yet somehow reformed back into a sphere, leaving ancient artifacts 100s of thousands of years old still intact just below the surface.... is a bit ridiculous to me.
But Earth is not a sphere at all, it is more like a squashed ball. I once say a model of Earth without the ocean water. Where the Pacific Basin is, there is a rather large chunk missing, as if something came along at hit the Earth in the distant past.....Actually, Earth is little more than half a planet, if you take into account all the stuff that is missing.
(1) A "planet"1 is a celestial body that: (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.
DJW001 are you crtain about the Pacific basin being associated with an impact? The Pacific plate is much more recent. Plate movements should have removed all traces of the basin billions of years ago.

This is just Sitchin's baloney.
The translations are all wrong. Nibiru was not a planet. The Sumerian astronomical tablets are missing. It is the use of Sumerian names by Babylonians that suggests that the Sumerians did astronomy. Marduk is Jupiter. In 1 place Nibiru is a reference to Marduk.
No planet could have the orbit given by Sitchin and be stable. Sitchin did not know this when he created his fiction. His tall tales were recognized as hogwash decades ago.
