If a planet like Nibiru did in fact exist, and the writings tell of a dark planet made of iron ore, then it would reflect little or no sunlight at all, and could be on approach in a stealth like fashion.
Makes you wonder why hes here??

The Mayan and Sumerian cultures existed at totally different times, spoke totally different languages, were on (nearly) opposite sides of the planet and had totally different number systems and religious beliefs. For you to perpetuate a belief that would require some sort of collaboration between them shows ignorance or intention to decieve.

You see, this is a fatal misconception:

Firstly, there really are no claims of a "dark planet make of iron ore". But, if such a thing did exist (and, given the immensity and near infinite nature of the Universe, maybe one does exist somewhere.....in the 13.8 Billion light years radius....but, even if such a thing were in our Solar System, it would reflect sunlight, and shine brightly, if it were close enough to be able to come here and whack us.
The planet Mercury is a rock....and it shines brightly. Mars is dull, dirt....brownish-reddish dirt and rock. And it shines like a reddish star. Asteroids....chunks of rock, and many various elements, to include (I presume) some iron. They are relatively tiny, so require magnification from this distance, but they also reflect sunlight.
Finally...this imaginary planet, that is claimed to be incredibly massive? That mass, the mere presence of it, cannot just "sneak in" without revealing itself by the effects it would cause on all the other bodies in the Solar System --- perturbing their orbits.

However one can simply look back through time and see that no destruction has occurred. 13 baktuns is equivalent to about 5,000 years. Yet we have a string of uninterrupted civilizations dating back at least 6,000 years with no indication of a great cataclysm. Then even before that we have about 95,000 years of human history with no indication of a cataclysm. Of course going with the claim that we are entering into the 5th civilization then one must wonder why the "Mayan calendar" only accounts for about 20,000 years of human history when we have existed for about 100,000. It also ignores the fact that the world is several billions of years old. So it makes no sense to buy into these claims that a cataclysm occurs every 13 baktuns.
NASA Crushes 2012 Mayan Apocalypse Claims
If there existed a planet, which had an elliptical orbit, which brought it through our part of space every 3600 years, and it were made of some dark composite material, unknown to us, or not understood by us, it could, theoretically sneak up on us sight unseen and only detected by other non-visual means.

OH! Well if NASA said it, it MUST be true! They would never say just what needed to be said to further their own agenda.
According to the Mayan Elders themselves, the Mayan calendar also plotted the consciousness of humanity. Now is an extremely volatile and tumultuous time in their estimation, followed by a huge evolutionary leap. It is already happening.
Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.

I really don't understand WHY people like those most outspoken and caustic skeptics... or a US Government organization like NASA, even feel compelled to weigh in on these kinds of things. It's almost as if there were some force that was doing its best to shoot down any personal objectivity and replace it with some officially sanctioned thought-line.
