-Caveat Lector-
There are certain renegade cosmologists who have propounded this theory before. I
believe that it is one which merits consideration given the mythological symbology of
ancient civilizations and the actual fact of astronomy as we have observed.
Velikovsky had some good points, and many realized it too. This body has also been
referred to as Nemesis.

><BR>remarkable level of scientific understanding of the world's first
><BR>civilisation, in Sumer, is less well appreciated. Their scientific knowledge
><BR>of astronomy, cloaked in the language of myth, included testimony of a
><BR>celestial entity orbiting the Sun which still remains unknown to our
><BR>astronomers. Until recently. The Sumerians described a fiery 'planet' which
><BR>follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun, remaining hidden to observers on
><BR>Earth for millennia at a time. It is currently at its furthest point from us
><BR>but, even at the incredible distances involved, our scientists are now
><BR>capable of detecting its presence. Its vast size causes comet orbit
><BR>perturbations which have been analysed thoroughly by two independent
><BR>astronomers, Drs. Murray and Matese. Its approximate location, size and
><BR>distance are now known, yet it has eluded our telescopes. But it is being
><BR>hunted down, and it may simply be a matter of time before the theoretical
><BR>basis for its existence is confirmed. Unbelievably, we appear to be living
><BR>in a bizarre binary star system. The data provided by the astronomers matches
><BR>the mythology handed down to us from the Sumerians <I>exactly.</I> But this has
><BR>been missed by many because of their incorrect understanding of Nibiru's
><BR>nature. The case for the 12th Planet has been made through the remarkable
><BR>scholarship of Zecharia Sitchin, but our understanding of the nature of stars
><BR>and planets, and what lies in between, has changed greatly since publication
><BR>of his thesis in 1976. He could not have realised that the Sumerians were
><BR>correct when describing a 'planet' which had many star-like properties. This
><BR>mythical entity isn't a planet in the conventional sense, but a failed star
><BR>known as a 'brown dwarf'. Further widely-held assumptions about the timing of
><BR>Nibiru's occasional perihelion passages between Mars and Jupiter are
><BR>erroneous. Its orbital period is variable, with the periodicity of 3600
><BR>years serving only as a mathematical and religious archetypal fit. Nibiru
><BR>did not appear at the time of the Exodus, but in 3760 BC, at the start of the
><BR>Nippurian calendar and Hebrew count of years, as Sitchin initially argued. I
><BR>can now show that Nibiru last appeared in 25 AD. The 12th Planet is the
><BR>Messianic Star, and its appearance was noted by the famous Roman writer,
><BR>Seneca. Astronomers, anxious to resolve the mystery of Seneca's anomalous
><BR>description of this star, have taken on face value his assumption that this
><BR>'piercing red' star was Sirius itself. Yet it couldn't have been, as Sirius
><BR>is white. However, his testimony fits the predictions of the Dark Star
><BR>Theory precisely. The brightness of Nibiru at perihelion in Canis Major
><BR>outshone the brightest star in our skies. Its bright red countenance spurred
><BR>Seneca to write his treatise on celestial fiery phenomena, which in turn led
><BR>to an ancient astronomical tradition known as the 'red' Sirius anomaly. The
><BR>appearance of the Dark Star near Sirius occurred prior to the disappearance
><BR>of the Duat below the horizon. As such, most of Nibiru's short perihelion
><BR>passage went unseen on Earth. But its initial birth in the sky, as Horus
><BR>born from Isis, was symbolically enacted by the baptism of the Christ Figure
><BR>on the 'Day of Lights'. This event was celebrated by Early Christians as the
><BR>Epiphany, on 6th January. The significance of this date would later be
><BR>replaced by the fabled visit of the Magi to Bethlehem. The Messianic Star is
><BR>the common root of these two, seemingly unrelated, events, and reveals the
><BR>Church's discomfort with the prominence of John the Baptist in the story of
><BR>the Messiah. Gnostic Christianity, as well as the re-emergence of Roman
><BR>Mithraism, were the <I>direct result</I> of the appearance of the Messianic Star.
> <BR>Egyptian religions enjoyed a revival, as John's Isian mission undoubtedly
><BR>shows. Yet, all these 'cults' were later persecuted and reformed, to the
><BR>point where their celestial origins have almost been lost. Such is the
><BR>historical controversy surrounding the Winged Disc. One is left in little
><BR>doubt as to why the followers of ancient monotheistic religions found
><BR>Nibiru's alleged existence so difficult to bear. The Dark Star has 7 moons,
><BR>and the seventh harbours life. In fact, the very same seeds of life which
><BR>came to Earth 4 billion years ago. They found their source in the primordial
><BR>oceans of Nibiru's moons, and were transferred to this planet through the
><BR>celestial collisions described in the Babylonian creation myths of the <I>Enuma
><BR>Elish</I>. The Sun's sister 'star', as dark and inconspicuous as it is, plays
><BR>host to alien life, the origins of which are common with our own life on
><BR>Earth ("...On Earth, as it is in Heaven"). On the seventh moon of Nibiru,
><BR>known to the Sumerians as Dilmun, live the Annunaki, and their story is
><BR>inextricably linked with our past. Sitchin's work on our origins may yet be
><BR>proven correct.
