slight flaw in stichins theory

Have said this before and I'll say it again.

If an object of planetary size and mass has passed through the inner solar system every 3600 years, we wouldn't be here to debate it, because its gravitational effects would have had serious repercussions on our orbit.

I checked NASA's site and see that they have indeed found a tenth planet, it may or not be Nibiru/Planet X but it is a 10th planet.

A planet with an orbit so eccentric as to make it undetectable would basically not be warmed by the sun at all. if it had oceans, they'd be frozed solid.

Isn't Sitchin suggesting that Nibiru has an orbit around a dark star (brown dwarf) that has an orbit around our Sun? It's an alternative theory derived from Sitchins work by someone called Andy Lloyd, excerpt below.

What is really unique about his theory is that this dark star has its own planets, the first five minor, the sixth an Earth-sized Homeworld, and the seventh the planet or object we call Nibiru. The Homeworld is much like Earth and is where our Annunaki "gods" live. Nibiru is largely uninhabitable and acts more as a ship or battle station. When the dark star is at perihelion(closest approach to our sun) at 60 to 70 AU, Nibiru's orbit, which is at 60 AU from its parent, has a wide enough orbit to cut through our solar system, usually in the vicinity of Jupiter's orbit, although this can vary. Nibiru's orbital inclination is some 30 degrees to our solar plane or ecliptic.

Characteristics of a brown star; "the higher the mass, the slower the cooling and consequent decrease in luminosity". Let's pretend there is some sort of energy output from that "cool" star that could sustain life?

See middle of page, different stages of a dwarf.

didnt sitchin say in one of his books that nibiru generated its own thermal energy from within asmuch the same way uranus does

He does but he mistranslated the tablets so it doesn't matter anyways.

3600 years ago orbit, well that'll be 1600BC

What was happening in the world then?

* The Chinese, amazing people for keeping records and excellent astronomers.Even had mention in one of their ancient scrolls of witnessing a supernova. No mention of a huge planet

* The Greeks? Another bunch of people, excelled for record keeping. Its where we get the word 'planet' from! Giant planets? Nil!

* Perhaps it was a 'localised situation'? Egypt! They loved the stars, and even built monuments in relation to the positions. Not a word!

I believe Sitchin's "The Lost Book of Enki" makes reference to the Annunaki using their planet's inner heat source during times that it was too far from the sun. Also, the only reason that solar and geothermal energy sources are underutilized on earth is because of the cost. A more advanced species may have solved the cost issue and been able to employ these sources of energy more effectively. There are virtually limitless sources of energy in the solar system/galaxy/universe that could be used to maintain a civilization, even on a very cold planet. Keep in mind, NASA is preparing to send humans to Mars and we (humans) also have a space station that can also sustain human life. Just think of what a more advanced civilization could accomplish. In response to why Hubble hasn't found Nibiru, that's like finding a needle in a haystack. You'd have to locate a single point in space and monitor its orbit by reviewing several images that span over a period of time. Hubble images contain stars from all over the universe, not just our particular galaxy or solar system. Pluto was discovered very recently. Imagine what we'll find in the next couple decades. Furthermore, review Berkeley Professor Richard Muller's theories on Planet Nemesis. They are somewhat in line with Sitchin's theory. Lastly, and most interestingly to me, over half the world's population believes much of what biblical texts (Torah, Bible, Quran) describe as history and there is clear evidence of more ancient texts that seem to preface some of the biblical stories. Those same texts include the characters of Sitchin's claims. In my opinion, either humans are victims of a MAJOR hoax that has developed over a few thousand years, or the bulk of our understanding about our existence stems from some very real events.

Planet X orbits around a dwarf star . The star would provide sufficient heat to support life.
