“Straight is the crossing point, and narrow is the way that leads to it.”
“A-ra-mu nakirma bab ni-bi-ri sha GN itsbat”

“Nibiru is his [marduk’s] star, which he made appear in the heavens . . . [130-131] The stars of heaven, let him [Nibiru] set their course; let him shepherd all the gods like sheep.”
Ne-be-ru ne-be-re-et same, u erseti lu tamehma
Let him/it [Nibiru/Marduk] be the holder of the crossing of heavens and earth.
(line 125: “. . . so that they [the heavens] cannot cross above and below, but must wait for him [Nibiru/Marduk]”
1) Nibiru is called a star.
2) Nibiru is called a planet – nearly always Jupiter-Marduk, but once Mercury, and never anything beyond Pluto or the known planets.
3) The Sumerians, by their own records, knew of only five planets (and accepted the sun and moon as planets).
4) Nibiru is never mentioned in any respect with the Anunnaki; it is never said to have been or be inhabited.
5) Nibiru is both a “fixed star” in some relationship to constellations (whether a member or just in proximity is unknown) that “holds” them in their courses, but is also described as “changing position” and “crossing” the sky at times.
6) Nibiru was seen every year, which demolishes Sitchin’s view of a 3600 year cycle for it. 1

Great thread, even if it won't shut anyone up. There is one error though, Sitchin did not predict that Nibiru would return in 2003. That was a prediction made by the website ZetaTalk who had originally predicted it would return in 1999. If memory serves me right, Sitchin's prediction is that it will return sometime around 2085.

Hang on you sure they only knew of five plantes counting sun and moon. I thought they spoke of 12, may have been disinfo.

You see it everyday, simply clicking on the recent posts page will undoubtedly list at least a few threads with this strange word contained within.

I always thought that Setchin was vague about the return date. For some reason I thought it last passed earth in 1200 BC, which would put the return in 2400 AD. Sitchin has a new book coming out next month, maybe he'll address the 2012 issue.

Nibiru has NOTHING to do with 2012.
Nibiru therefore has NOTHING to do with any 'Annunaki Gods'.
NIBRU/NEBERU (scholarly definition): In all extant Sumerian tablets the word 'nibiru' alwaysalways means 'point of crossing'. Notice that this is an abstract (possibly dynamic) location, not an entity. Here are some extracts from various translations to draw on the proper meaning of the word:
From Enuma Elish Tablet VII, line 126, 130-131
Ne-be-ru kakkabu- s\u
s\a ina s\ame, u-su-pu-u
Meaning:
“Nibiru is his [marduk’s] star, which he made appear in the heavens . . . [130-131] The stars of heaven, let him [Nibiru] set their course; let him shepherd all the gods like sheep.”
?"point of crossing is his star, which he made appear in the heavens...
the stars of heaven, let point of crossing set their own course; let point of crossing shepard all gods like sheep."
Again, this is referencing either Jupiter or Mercury as being Marduk's star. Jupiter appears like a bright star to the naked eye in a clear sky. There is no ref
