2012 - Planet X / Nibiru

Nibiru (also known Niburu) is a word that comes from the Akkadian language and means “ford”, “place of transition” or “ferry”. In astronomical and mythical context, it is a celestial body. In Babylonian mythology it is associated with the god Marduk. In some Babylonian astronomical texts Nibiru identified as the planet Jupiter.

The writers Zecharia Sitchin and Burak Eldem refers to Sumerian language texts that Nibiru is a planet that, once every 3600 years , enters our solar system cortex. The planet would follow an orbit leading it between Jupiter and Mars before it starts its way back into the unknown space. Followers of the Sitchin and Eldems theory fear the passage of Niburu for the earthquakes, tidal waves, food shortages, diseases, meteorites and volcanic eruptions that it will make. This is because the Sumerian texts speak of a similar event, about 11,000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. In biblical terms this event is known as the deluge.

According Sitchins and Eldems’ interpretation of Sumerian clay tablets, The Sumerian people gathered all their knowledge through a visit from the Anunnaki (the people that inhabited the planet Nibiru). The Anunnaki allegedly predicted the return of the planet Nibiru in the year 2012, and that this would entail a radical change for life on earth. This would all happen within a period of 5 years - starting in 2008. The descriptions of the planet Nibiru is in many writings of the Mesopotamian peoples, although under different names such as Marduk. The planet is equated to Planet X by Sitchin and Eldem.

After some people started to distribute made up conspiracy videos and documents about planet Nibiru many believers started to fear for their life. NASA Ames Research Center and NASA's new Lunar Science Institute interim director David Morrison told Discovery Channel that he gets now 20-25 emails per week concerning about end of the world in 2012. He stated that most people have taken the approach "If NASA denies it - it must be true" so it's impossible now to give them any satisfactory answers. He does not sound positive on hopes that Nibiru will turn into a teaching moment and people will understand that this is just an Internet hoax to cash-in for various products (i.e books and a film that happens to come to theaters exactly on the "right time"). According to the last hoax planet Nibiru should have destroyed earth in 2003. Some conspirators have mixed their story with Planet X to make things even more confusing because any unknown planet can be named X - planet Pluto was named "Planet X" during the first half of the 20th century.

2012 Theory A giant Meteor or Asteroid

Millions of years ago, when our planet was still one big melted glowing ball of magma, it was continuously being bombarded with meteors and lose bodies from outer space. Later on, less and less meteors hit planet Earth, though several large ones have had severe consequences, like the one that once extinct the dinosaurs.

There is a chance that a meteor or asteroid of that size could crash on earth hear again. Could be in five thousand year, but it could also be tomorrow. If the meteor is over 10km (about 6.2mi) in span, it would destroy most of the life on our planet. Everything within a range of around one thousand kilometres would be incinerated immediately. But the worst effect of the impact would be a sort of nuclear winter. The crash sends huge amounts of debris into the atmosphere. These will block the suns rays, causing a temporary ice age that will kill all remaining life forms.

The world is coming to an end on December 21, 2012! At least, that's the date predicted by the Mayans more than two thousand years old. DECODING THE PAST peels back the layers of mystery and examines in detail how the Maya calculated the exact date of doomsday. Journey back to the ancient city of Chichen Itza, the hub of Maya civilization deep in the heart of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The Maya were legendary astronomers and timekeepers--their calendar is more accurate than our own. By tracking the stars and planets they assigned great meaning to astronomical phenomena and made extraordinary predictions based on them--many of whichÃ‚ have come true. Could their doomsday prophecy be one of them? In insightful interviews archaeologists, astrologers, and historians speculate on the meaning of the 2012 prophecy. Their answers are as intriguing as the questions.
