But, seriously... What is Nibiru? This odd name, full of mystery and controversy spawned several explanations and speculations, but really...Nibiru, what is Nibiru about?
To begin with, the word comes from the Akkadian language, spoken in Mesopotamia more than 2,500 years ago and thereafter a dialect in ancient Babylon.
In some cuneiform clay tablets, finally deciphered, found by archaeologists in the nineteenth century, is mentioned in the following two meanings: crossroad and transition point.
In the rich mythology of Babylon is also related to their god Marduk, promoted to supreme and patron deity when the city became the capital of Mesopotamia.
Let's remember that the Mesopotamians were remarkable astronomers, and had also identified Nibiru with the planet Jupiter, and even some other celestial bodies, such as the North Star.
In modern times, especially during the twentieth century, it was associated with the so-called Planet X, located in the confines of our solar system, allegedly responsible for changes in the orbits of the planets in our outer solar system, therefore forming a binary system with our sun.
Definately, this isn't surprising, since, as our astronomers discover new stars, it becomes obvious that binary star systems are very common in the Universe.
Always according to this modern theory, the Planet or rather Star X, Nibiru, in its tens of millions years orbital cycle, would be again approaching to our sun, and in fact would be heading to us.
