Nibiru

from Alternative History

Although Lieder originally referred to the object as "Planet X," it became closely associated with Nibiru, a planet from the works of the ancient astronaut proponent Zecharia Sitchin, particularly his book The 12th Planet. According to Sitchin's interpretation of ancient Mesopotamian religious texts—which has been shown to be based on a misunderstanding of Sumerian texts—[15][16][17][18] a giant planet (called Nibiru or Marduk) passes by Earth every 3,600 years, allowing its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity.[18] Sitchin identified these beings with the Anunnaki of Sumerian mythology and claimed that they were humanity's first gods.[19][18] Lieder first made the connection between Nibiru and Planet X on her website in 1996 ("Planet X exists, and it is the 12th planet, one and the same").
