According to the studies of Zecharia Sitchin, there is a 12th planet in our solar system. This planet is called Nibiru, and is situated somewhere beyond Pluto. This controversial theory is based on Sitchin's interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts, with its origin in the Bible, in the book of Genisis. Sitchin has spent decades as an archeologist and historian in the Middle East, researching ancient writings from the Sumerian civilization into a 5-part paperback series, 'The Earth Chronicles', documenting the Nibirian interaction on Earth in ancient times. If you want the truth, read this series. It is so well documented it has been given great reviews in the establishment news media, something Von Däniken never attained.

This planet, known to scientists as the possible 'Planet X', comes into Earth orbit every 3600 years, and is inhabited by the Anunnaki (the Nefilim of the Bible), "Those Who From Heaven To Earth Came". They landed on Earth, colonized it, mining the Earth for gold and other minerals, establishing a spaceport in what today is the Iraq-Iran area, and lived in a kind of idealistic society as a small colony. They returned when Earth was more populated and genetically interfered in our indigenous DNA to create a slave-race to work their mines, farms, and other enterprises in Sumeria, which was the so-called Cradle of Civilization in out-dated pre-1980s school history texts. They created Man, Homo Sapiens, through genetic manipulation with themselves and ape man Homo Erectus.

Enlil and Enki, two governors of Earth sent from Nibiru to rule Earth, were responsible for all this power and control. They gave the ancient Sumerians their architectural, agricultural, astronomical, and cultural training in exchange for labor and "gifts to the gods" in the form of a lot of mining, food, and material goods. Therefore the Nibirians themselves no longer had to physically work on Earth. The Nibirians disguised themselves as fish-humans, lion-humans, bird-humans, and other creatures to get the people to worship them as token gods, something that Moses violently opposed. Later, the Pleiadians, who were involved in Egypt's 3rd Golden Age, attempted to end the worship of the many Nibiruan and Sirian gods in these lands with the one-god concept. However, wars always resulted from these differences of belief systems, and the Sirians and Nibirians thrived on all the humans fighting each other INSTEAD OF THE GODS who were the REAL ENEMIES behind the scenes.

Sitchin tells of a huge orbiting something that brought many Nibirians to Earth from the Sirian sector of our galaxy 7 every 3,600 years, with the last round being around zero A.D. when Christ appeared. Every 3,600 years a major event occurred on Earth that was well-documented by ancient and modern historians. The Great Flood of religious referred to an attempt to destroy the slave races of humanity by the Nibirians because they have rebelled against their leaders(gods) from Nibiru! Enlil and Enki were involved in a heated dispute over whether to destroy or preserve the slave races and this power struggle resulted in ancient wars. Sitchin believes that the orbit of the huge object indicated it was a planet that orbits in and out of our solar system and around our sun, yet is part of our system, every 3,600 years.
