Nibiru Is My Name
Welcome to alien2012.com and my first of many posts.
My name is Nibiru.
I follow a long, elliptical orbit, reaching the inner solar system roughly every 3,600 years and I am coming for Earth on December 21, 2012. What do I bring? Planetary life? New technology? A new dimension?
In Sumerian my name means ‘Planet of the Crossing’; evidence of this is found on tablets and writings. Also, the Sumerian sign for Nibiru was a cross or various winged disc. Sumer was the civilization first to inhabit the Mesopotamia, and it gave rise to Babylonia. The Babylonians used the Sumerian language for religious use. Were these depictions of Nibiru from the Sumerian culture, or the religious script of the Babylonians?
To the Babylonians, I was a revered celestial body. The Babylonian poem Enûma Eliš describes the creation of the god Marduk, head of the Babylonian pantheon and the god of water, vegetation, judgment, and magic. This poem assesses the relationship between the planet Nibiru and Marduk in Babylonian cosmology.
What ancient influence was I on the Babylonians? Babylonian astronomy was the basis for much of the astronomical traditions that later developed in Greek and Hellenistic astronomy, in classical Indian astronomy, in Sassanid, Byzantine and Syrian astronomy, in medieval Islamic astronomy, in Western European astronomy, and in Western astronomy.
In the 8th & 7th centuries BC, Babylonian astronomers developed a new empirical approach to astronomy. They began studying philosophy dealing with the ideal nature of the universe and began employing an internal logic within their predictive planetary systems. This was a very important contribution to astronomy and the philosophy of science. Some scholars have referred to this new approach as the first scientific revolution. This new approach to astronomy was adopted and further developed in Greek and Hellenistic astronomy.
How did the Babylonians know so much about our solar system before inventions like the telescope were made? Is it possible that I had a great influence on this astronomical scientific revolution? Were they enlightened by the Beings of Nibiru?
There are many modern theories encircling me and my arrival in 2012. What do you believe?
