Nibiru — Populated by a Super Race?
GIVE SUDDEN IMPETUS TO OUR "EVOLUTION"
It's the kind of story you might want to believe. A certain popular writer, describing himself as an expert on ancient texts, tells us that far out in our solar system, beyond the planet Pluto there is an outer planet called Nibiru.
The story goes that Nibiru was populated by a super race. Those extraterrestrials were known as Annunaki. The Anunnakis' own planet was dying. So the Anunnaki came to Planet Earth to attempt a rescue of their planet. The gold on Planet Earth was needed to create a shield for preserving Nibiru's dwindling atmosphere. One can actually feel sorry for the Anunnaki.
Fortunately, this Planet Nibiru, in its orbit, came close to Planet Earth. A group of 50 astronauts from Nibiru, with their leader called Enki, splashed down in the waters of the Persian Gulf. Some Anunnaki were sent to mine gold in Africa. When the toil became unbearable, Enki 'created' 'primitive workers' by mixing the genes of male Anunnaki with the eggs of early female hominoids, to bring about Homo sapiens - you and me.
This sudden impetus given to our "evolution" explains how the Sumerian civilization sprang up suddenly, fully developed, with no evidence of a primitive beginning. You can credit these extraterrestrials for jump-starting it, says this popular writer. And oh yes, there's something else. The orbit of Nibiru (also labelled Planet X by some) brings it into our solar system every 3,600 years. It will return to Planet Earth very soon.
Well, doesn't that awaken your interest? In any case, this gentleman, whom we shall call Mr S assures us that this is what the clay tablets say. And this topic has been heavily promoted by him. In contrast to the airy speculation of von Danicken, Mr S claims to be a scholar. He graduated in economics. But he claims to be an expert in ancient Sumerian texts and Hebrew.
HE HAS A FEW THINGS RIGHT
From my years of independent research, I knew for certain that Mr S did have some things correct -- one of which was that the Sumerian culture began suddenly, fully developed, with no evidence of a primitive beginning. As you know, we are told these days that our forebears were primitive. Talk of high technology in the ancient world is rare. For this reason, I felt a measure of rapport with Mr S.
This caused my customary cautious approach to soften toward him. And I did enjoy reading his books. So, I let down my guard down just a little to give those "facts" in his books due respect -- in particular, the claimed fact that certain ancient texts existed to back up his story. Accepting his claim also to be a responsible scholar, I went as far as to quote him a couple of times in my book Dead Men's Secrets.
As I said, Mr S did have a number of things right:
1. That a Global Flood had devastated the world in the past. (See the evidence for that event in my book Surprise Witness.)
2. That there was a civilization after the Flood that started in Mesopotamia, from descendants of the Flood survivors. (See the archaeological evidence in my book The Corpse Came Back.)
3. That Sumerian civilization started at a high level. (See Dead Men's Secrets, chapter 2.)
4. And, of course, that such an advanced early civilization needs explaining. Also, I had no problem with his belief in another planet beyond Pluto. In fact, on August 1, 2005, scientists announced they had discovered one, unofficially called 2003 UB313. At about 3,218 kilometers across, it is bigger than Pluto. But this is not the planet Nibiru, that Mr S is talking about. For one thing, it does not have the orbit he describes.
Many can be lulled into a belief like this due to trust. About 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle classified the spider as having six legs. And for the next 20 centuries everyone believed the spider had six legs. No one even bothered to count. After all, who would dare challenge the great Aristotle? Well, along came Lamarck (1744-1829), the outstanding biologist and naturalist.
He carefully counted the legs of the spider. And guess how many legs he counted? Exactly eight! The myth that had been taught for centuries was destroyed because Lamarck bothered to count. Myths are easily accepted as truth if they have been around for a time. We are about to shatter a myth. And I invite you along for the trip.
HERE'S SOME STARTLING NEWS FOR YOU
What you are about to discover may shock you. It may anger you. Or you may be relieved that you did not fall into the trap. It was not easy for me to prepare this book and name names. Especially after endorsing something for so long. Please tell me. If you suddenly discovered that something you were passing on to others was a hoax, what would be the honourable thing to do? Yes, you know the answer to that. After all, you have to look at yourself in the mirror tomorrow, don't you? Okay, I have some startling news for you. And why do I bother? Because I don't like documents manipulated to promote false claims.
Suppose I was a lawyer. Wouldn't I be professionally obligated to inform you if someone was giving you bad legal advice? If I were a building inspector, wouldn't I owe you the truth if I knew the house you were about to purchase had termite- weakened foundations? If I was an accountant, wouldn't you expect me to advise you if a neighbor's tax advice could put you in jail?
Okay, I'm none of those things, but I'm trying to provide the same service in my areas of expertise. Increasingly, people ask me about Planet X, the Anunnaki and the Nephilim. Did extraterrestrials from a distant planet called Nibiru (Planet X) come to earth and crossbreed with creatures here? And does Nibiru's orbit bring it into our solar system every 3,600 years? It's coming soon, we're told!
Among today's many confusing claims, how can one sift fact from fiction? That's an important question. Here is my answer: Test everything. Demand solid evidence.
Because many self-proclaimed scholars are out there, who either,
a\) don't understand their topic, or
b\) are faking data.
Why is this occurring?
Here are three reasons
1. Some writers know that if they can catch public attention with a sensational theory, they can become very rich. They are not necessarily malicious. It's just that their love for money or fame is greater than their love for truth. Just put out a sensational story and you get peoples' attention.
2. Some others are just plain mischievous. These con men wish to confuse and deceive the public. It puts them on a high to successfully prey on unsuspecting, gullible persons. 3. Another may mull over an idea that takes his fancy, then toy with it until he becomes convinced it might be true. After some sloppy research, with half the truth in his hands, he reaches a wrong conclusion -- and then goes public. These may all be brilliant intellectuals. But the first two have an honesty problem.
3\) Is simply naivety.
Now, what about this Planet X story? I shall not judge the motive of the man who invented this theory but the truth is, WE'VE BEEN HAD!
