Nibiru / Planet X
SUMMARY
A rogue planet on a 3,600-year orbit. Every few years, someone says it's back.
FULL DOSSIER
Sitchin read Babylonian astronomy texts as describing a twelfth planet on a 3,600-year orbit; astronomers find no such body, and his translation of 'nibiru' (a crossing-point/star associated with Marduk) is rejected by Assyriology. The 2003 and 2012 Nibiru panics produced real NASA statements debunking a real public scare. Linked to the Anunnaki (its supposed inhabitants) and pole-shift lore (its supposed effect on close approach).
