King. It gives a complete account of the formation of our solar system, including the gravitational capture into the system of this tenth planet (known to the Sumerians as Nibiru and the Babylonians as Marduk) , its subsequent collision with a large planet, Tiamat, orbiting then between Mars and Jupiter, the formation of the asteroid belt, comets and meteorites from the impact, the translation of the larger part of the impacted native planet into our orbit to become Earth. The Enuma Elish says that the intruder planet settled into a huge elliptical orbit of 3600 years around our sun in the "wrong" direction, counter to the orbital direction of the other planets, that it returns to the inner solar system through the asteroid belt area periodically. It gives the details of the path it can be observed taking through the constellations as it approaches and the disruptive events its close passing causes on Earth. Tombaugh, searching for the tenth Planet X, discovered Pluto in 1930. Christie, of the U.S. Naval Observatory, discovered Charon, Pluto's moon, in 1978. The characteristics of Pluto derivable from the nature of Charon through the two Pioneer spacecrafts' data, demonstrated that there must still be a large planet undiscovered because Pluto could not be the cause of the residuals, the "wobbles" in the orbital paths of Uranus and Neptune which had to be caused by a large planet. The IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite), during '83 -'84, produced observations of a tenth planet so robust that one of the astronomers on the project said that "all that remains is to name it" -- from which point the information has become curiously guarded. In 1992 Harrington and Van Flandern of the U.S. Naval Observatory, working with all the information they had at hand, published their opinion that there was, at least, an 85% possibility of a tenth planet, even calling it an "intruder" planet. Andersen of JPL later publicly expressed his belief that it could possibly be verified any time Harrington invited Sitchin, having read his book and translations of the Enuma Elish, to a meeting at his office and they correlated the current findings with the ancient records and Harrington acknowledged the detail of the ancient records while confidently narrowing its current location to below the ecliptic in the southern skies, even acknowledging the possibility of a retrograde orbit. Sitchin definitively answers the question How could our earliest civilizations know of this planet ? with the thoroughly substantiated thesis that the transcultural "gods" known to all the ancient civilizations were not mythological but flesh and blood humanoids whose home planet was, is, indeed, this tenth planet. They came here 432,000 years ago, created our species as a slave race for their gold mines by crossing their genes with those of Homo Erectus, moved us up to limited partnership subsequently and taught us civilization and science and astronomy, eventually phased off and left us on our own to find our own species identity. Regardless of whether one accepts his evidence and thesis or not, one must face the clear and simple fact --- as Harrington was enough of a real scientist to do --- that the information about this tenth planet - and all the others in our system --- is there in the ancient documents and is continually being verified in finer and finer detail. The obstacle to Sitchin's thesis is not scientific. It is the very unscholarly, traditional, pervasive, preclusive mindset, of academicians and scientists, long fostered by the religious absolutism that put Galileo under house arrest and burnt Bruno at the stake, that this history and information is to be disregarded as mythological. This is not to denigrate the impressive, sophisticated and astute work of Dr. Murray or to detract from his findings. Credit, however, should be given to whomever it is due in proper measure. The recognition of the information that Sitchin has published on the tenth planet and its utilization would save the astronomers great time and effort and is precise and robust enough to provide all data necessary for a computer modeling of our universe from its beginnings. The Enuma Elish describes Nibiru's visual path through the constellations as it approaches the inner solar system to perigee in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. A computer modeling would furnish a prediction of the time and path of Nibiru's return to the inner solar system, highly significant because the Enuma Elish details the disruptive physical effects it creates on Earth by its close passing. The work of Harrington, Van Flandern, Ritchie, the IRAS project, and now that of Murray and Matese continue to reinforce and refine the details already known to humans for thousands of years, lost and recovered, and uncovered and revealed again by Sitchin 25 years ago. As to naming the planet, Sitchin already has written years ago to the Planetary Society, charged with naming planets, to formally notify them of the fact that it already has been named Nibiru for thousands of years. Although too modest a scholar to put himself forward in this case, I personally think that Sitchin should receive a Nobel prize for his research and master thesis. Let proper credit be given in due measure where it clearly should. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Wingate California Director SKYWATCH INTERNATIONAL Anomalous Images and UFO Files http://www.anomalous-images.com
