Or the Black Death being the end of days?? 2012 hocum does one thing, it makes people money by playing on the fears and paranoia of the public. But it is interesting to watch the shows on History Channel!!!!
When you have the time, take your digital camera, place a #10 arc welders lens ($4$ @ HD) and take a few pics of the sun. Download them to your computer and using a program like photo shop, under filter, click solarize and help me understand what is at the 7 o'clock position

5. there is no known brown dwarf in our solar system
6. it's impossible to have a brown dwarf that has an orbit entering the orbits of the known planets
7. comet Holmes is not the blue star of the Hopi prophecy which is originates from 1959
8. Miller was wrong in the 1840s and this prediction is wrong as well
Can everyone please say apophenia?

The correct figure is 50 billion miles. It also might be a Jupiter-like star that started out to become a star eons ago but never got hot enough like the sun to become a star. which is so cold it casts no light so close to the sun it would be part of the solar system....there was some speculation that it might be moving toward Earth Cal Tech's Neugebauer said. "I want to douse that idea with as much cold water as I can." ...."All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is," Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS chief scientist for California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology, said in an interview.

So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby “protostar” that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through.

You make me laugh. Got any proof that the Sumerians wrote about another planet? Holmes was a yellow comet, not blue.
Arguments for the presence of a distant large undiscovered Solar system planet
Murray, J. B.
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 309, Issue 1, pp. 31-34.
Aphelion distances of long-period comets show a slight excess around 30000 to 50000au from the Sun. Positions of cometary aphelia within these distance limits are aligned along a great circle inclined to both the ecliptic and the Galactic plane. This paper examines one of the possible explanations for this non-random clustering: that it is due to orbital perturbations by an undiscovered object orbiting within the above-mentioned distances. A model consistent with the observations gives a retrograde orbit (inclination 120 deg) for the object with a longitude of the ascending node at 77 deg+/-13 deg, a period of 5.8x10^6 yr and a radius of 32000au. The same model gives a present position for the undiscovered object of RA 20^h 35^m, Dec.+5 deg, with an error ellipse semimajor axis of 14 deg and a semiminor axis of 7 deg. The magnitude is likely to be fainter than 23. Such a distant object would almost certainly not remain bound for the age of the Solar system, and recent capture into the present orbit, although also of low probability, remains the least unlikely origin for this hypothetical planet.

I have asked many times why comet Holmes is considered to be the blue star in the Hopi prophecy. All I have ever seen are images that are blue due to the filter used in the telescope. All of the photos without a filter show a yellow comet. If you have other information I'd like to see it.
Can you tell us how you know that the tablets are about Nibiru if they have not been translated. Seems a little odd.
That's an interesting article
Arguments for the presence of a distant large undiscovered Solar system planet
In the abstract from this 1999 paper it says, "a period of 5.8x10^6 yr and a radius of 32000au." So this object is 1/2 a light year out and takes some 6 million years to orbit the sun. Also notice that it says, "The magnitude is likely to be fainter than 23." This means it would be at the limits of the whole sky surveys.
As I've said many times, no new planets can enter within the orbits of the known planets, but beyond that could be some very interesting objects.
