Nibiru - Our Ancient History?


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru

Nibiru, was the celestial body associated with the god Marduk to the

Babylonians. The name is Akkadian and means 'crossing place' or 'place of

transition'. In Babylonian texts, it is identified with the planet Jupiter.

In Tablet 5 of the Enuma Elish it may be the pole star, which at the time

was Thuban or possibly Kochab (Ursa Minor).

The term "Nibiru" comes from the Sumerian cuneiform tablets and writings

dating 5,000 years old. The term Nibiru means "Planet of the crossing", and

it's cuneiform sign was often a cross, or various winged disc. The Sumerian

culture was located in the fertile lands between the Euphrates and Tigris

rivers, at the southern part of today's Iraq.
