YOU need to provide evidence that the "Exodus" happened....

You can do that with any length of time.

The world is an active place and things are constantly in flux. There is no need for a Death Star to explain these events. Besides, as Erik has pointed out numerous times now, the existence of Nibiru would cause a lot more than just an earthquake or some flooding. It would send the Earth out of the Sun's orbit on just one pass.
On top of that the question must be asked why the Chinese make no reference to this planet. The Chinese have a recorded history going back 4,000 years so they should have existed for at least one pass. So where are their historic documents describing another planet in the sky and mass devastation?
With all due respect, Phage, I wouldn't necessarily say IMPOSSIBLE.

How do you prepare for something like Nibiru? How do you plan for something
when you have no idea what that something is? I don't think you can. I think
we will all have to just wait and see....and deal with whatever when the
time comes.
Chinese civilization originated in various regional centers along both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River valleys in the Neolithic era, but the Yellow River is said to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the world's oldest civilizations.[1] The written history of China can be found as early as the Shang Dynasty (c. 1700–1046 BC),[2] although ancient historical texts such as the Records of the Grand Historian (ca. 100 BC) and Bamboo Annals assert the existence of a Xia Dynasty before the Shang.[2][3] Much of Chinese culture, literature and philosophy further developed during the Zhou Dynasty (1045–256 BC).

Nibiru, the mythical planet described by Sitchin, is impossible. As has been pointed out and demonstrated.
Any such planet making a pass through the inner Solar System on a regular basis would hopelessly disrupt the orbits of the Planets.

I did this exercise myself last year. Run the 3600 year "event" cycle back through history. If there is anything to the Nibiru claim, you will be shocked to find that there is a pattern of historical / worldly events that occurs ever 3500 to 3600 years. Exodus was one of them. Go back further. 3600 years prior to Exodus was the "great flood" and prior to that? Keep going....find it. 3600 years before the flood? ATLANTIS.
Simply not true in any way.
1. Exodus has no known archaeological evidence. Exodus does not appear to be true at all.
2. What "great flood" are you referring to. There certainly has never been a global flood - ever.
3. Atlantis does not exist. You certainly cannot date something that does not exist.
There is no 3600 year cycle.

Yes. I will go there. Sitchin was wrong. Except, the Exodus did occur around 450BC.
How did you arrive at that date?
There are currently a number of competing theories on the composition of the four books Exodus-Leviticus-Numbers-Deuteronomy, and they can be grouped into three broad "models". The first, the documentary hypothesis, proposes that the four books (actually five - the models include Genesis) were originally four separate documents, treating the same subject (i.e. the Exodus) written at various times between the 9th and 6th centuries BC and combined about 450 BC. This theory dominated biblical scholarship from the late 19th century to the 1970s. The second, the "supplementary" model, had been popular before the documentary hypothesis dominated the field and has re-emerged since the 1970s. It holds that that there was a single original document which was then expanded by "supplements", again with the end product emerging around 450 BC. The third, the "fragmentary" model, proposes that the four books were combined by a single author from a host of "fragments", meaning small texts as well as oral traditions (sagas and folk-tales), again c.450 BC.
The most recent ideas on the origin of the five books place Deuteronomy in the late 7th century with a revised version in the 6th, and the other four books in the Persian period of the 5th century. It is generally agreed that the Exodus tradition behind the five books predates the narrative as told in Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy (since it also appears in the 8th century prophets), but there is no consensus on just what might lie behind the tradition.
You can not claim that "Atlantis does not Exist" or that it never existed. Prove it. There are more ancient writings that reference it existing than those writings that don't.

People say you can see Jupiter, Saturn, Mars or Venus with the naked eye - why can't we see Nibiru/Planet X? Well, Nibiru gives off light in the infrared spectrum, like billion of other objects in our universe, and is almost impossible to see with the naked eye, especially coming at us from out of the Sun.
Jupiter only "gives off" light in infrared. So does Saturn, Mars, and Venus (as does the Earth for that matter). We can see them because they reflect the visible light of the Sun.
But Nibiru doesn't give off light in infrared, nor does it reflect the light of the Sun because Nibiru does not exist.
