Quote from a Hopi Elder:

"Nature and the spirit of our ancestors are giving you loud warnings. Today you see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophecies said would come. Why do animals act like they know about the earth's problems and most humans act like they know nothing? If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed." -Thomas Banyacya, HOPI Nation address to United Nations, December 10th, 1992

Quote by Edgar Cayce:

"If there is the greater activities in the Vesuvius, or Pelee then the southern coast of California and the areas between the Salt lake and the southern portions of Nevada may expect within the three months following same, an inundation by the earthquakes." - Edgar Cayce.

'There had been no sun in existence for many years ..[The Chiefs] began to peer through the gloom in all directions for the expected sight, and to make bets as to what part of heaven [the sun] should first appear ... but when the sun rose, they were all proved wrong, for not one of them had fixed upon the east.'

In Tractate Sanhedrin of the Talmud it is said:

'Seven days before the deluge, the Holy One changed the primeval order and the sun rose in the west and set in the east.

Immanuel Velikovsky [Worlds in Collision, p.136]

"The fact I hope to establish is that from the fifteenth century to the eighth century before the present era the astronomical year was equal to 360 days; neither before the fifteenth century, nor after the eighth century was the year of this length."

Quote from Pomponius Mela, a Latin author of the first century:

"The Egyptians pride themselves on being the most ancient people in the world. In their authentic annals ... one may read that since they have been in existence, the course of the stars has changed direction four times, and that the sun has set twice in that part of the sky where it rises today."

Caius Julius Solinus wrote of the Egyptians:

'The inhabitants of this country say that they have it from their ancestors that the sun now sets where it formerly rose,'

Pliny's Natural History, reads:

"A terrible comet was seen by the people of Ethiopia and Egypt, to which Typhon, the king of that period, gave his name; it had a fiery appearance and was twisted like a coil, and it was very grim to behold; it was not really a star so much as what it might be called a ball of fire." A time no more distant perhaps than 3,500 years ago.

Quotes From the Bible:

"From a far away land they came, from the end-point of Heaven do the Lord and his weapons of wrath come to destroy the whole Earth. Therefore will I agitate the Heaven and Earth shall be shaken out of its place. When the Lord of Hosts shall be crossing, the day of his burning wrath." Isaiah 13:1

"...For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day the Noah entered the ark."
"And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." St. Matthew 24: 38-39

The Sitchin Theory, Nibiru and the Annunaki

The idea that Earth has been visited by aliens at some point in the distant past is not a new one. Erik Von Daniken first touted the theory in his book, The Chariots of the Gods, back in the 1950's. Many people's first introduction to this concept has been via Von Daniken's ideas. While he was widely read, the problem always was that his interpretation of ancient texts and artifacts has always lacked a certain key. Zacharias Sitchin in 1976 provided that key!

Zecharia Sitchin started his research by questioning Biblical tales while still at school in his native Israel. He notes that parts of Genesis (6:4) reads "There were giants in the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bare children unto them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
Sitchin went much further examining the old Hebrew texts. He realised that the Hebrew word "Nefilim" was indeeed the name for the giants talked of in the Bible and the "men of renown" were really men of the "shem". More importantly Nefilim in its original Sumerian interpretation literally means "those who came down to earth from heaven".

Sitchin goes on to claim that the Earth was visited by aliens as far back as 450,000 years ago. These aliens came from another unknown planet of the solar system that the ancients called called Nibiru. He claims that these aliens were seeking to save their atmosphere from serious degradation and for this they needed extremely finely powdered gold. This gold dust was then pumped into the atmosphere in an effort to resolve the problems associated with heat retention when their planet was in the aphelion region of its long looping orbit around the sun. Gold was, of course, relatively plentiful on Earth and is even used today by NASA because of its unique properties.

Sitchin applied his understanding of ancient Biblical stories to studies of ancient (even older) writing from Sumeria and Mesapotamia, reaching the general conclusion that the Nefilim (Gods and Sons of God) used advanced genetic engineering to create humans from a combination of Nefilim genes and those of a compatible pre-human evolved species. The result was basically us, initially created to mine gold for the Nefilim but later with the capacity to understand commands, speak and procreate!

Author Lloyd Pye confirms and expands on Zecharia Sitchin's interpretations. A short video clip of Lloyd Pye on the channel 13 news can be viewed here: http://www.planetxvideo.com/lloyd.htm

Zecharia Sitchin studied many ancient civilizations and concluded that the Gods worshipped by all of them were really ancient space travellers with a superb knowledge of advanced technology and a desire for gold! When viewed this way, much of the world's history, as told in the Bible and other manuscripts, falls into place. Suddenly we can understand why there were gold mines 8-12,000 years old in South and Central America. Sitchin makes the claim that humankind was developed to mine this gold to satisfy their needs.

Sitchin postulated the theory that Nibiru, Planet X, took an eliptical orbit around the Sun (and perhaps a dead star further out). His hypotheses are mapped out as a time and distance ephemeris orbital modeal at this site:

Many catastrophic events in the earth's past can be explained by the 3600 year cycle of Nibiru. Depending on its distance from the earth at the time of passage, many Biblical disasters such as the Great Flood and the sinking of Atlantis can now be better understood. These events cyclically occure as a result of the immense gravitational pull this planet imposes on the earth and the other planets within the solar system.

Sitchin based many of his observations of Nibiru and its behaviour on historical texts, the Bible and other such material. He especially focused on the Sumerian artifacts that described the Annunaki (the Nefilim/Gods) and their planet, which predated all other human works.

Introduction to Current Planet X Theory

The current theory that our solar system has a 10th planet is primarily based on two fundamental points:

1- There is the historical data, brought to light primarily by Zacharia Sitchin, who using historical texts, artifacts, drawings and cylinder seals, propounded the theory that a planet called Nibiru is the 10th planet of the solar system, with an elliptical orbit that only brings it home every 3600 years.

2 - There are scientific observations of a large Kuiper Belt object that has been perturbing the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. A search ensued from about the 1840's to discover an object that could explain this gravitational phenomenon (Planet X). Pluto was dicovered in 1930, but it was concluded that it's gravitational influence was too weak to explain the anomoly. In the 1980s, this search was lead by NASA and some papers have been published and others have been witheld. There are also some scientific and astronomic suggestions that the Earth has a dark twin (Nemesis), a brown dwarf or failed star, whose movement might account for the long period comets that swirl into Earth from the Oort Cloud. If the dark star exists, as a companion to our Sun, then it could be conceivable that a planet may orbit in a ellipse around both of them.
