Controversial Knowledge:

- The Sumerians Had Advanced Astronomical Knowledge Of The Planetary Bodies In Our Solar System - The Seal Is Showing Niburu / Planet X Readers Of Zecharia Sitchin’S Books, Particularly The 12Th Planet, Will Recognize The Above Seal, Va 243. This Seal Is The Centerpiece Of Sitchin’S Theory That The Sumerians Had Advanced Astronomical Knowledge Of The Planetary Bodies In Our Solar System. This Knowledge Was Allegedly Given To The Sumerians By Extraterrestrials, Whom Sitchin Identifies As The Anunnaki Gods Of Sumero-Mesopotamian Mythology.

Since Ancient Peoples (Including The Sumerians According To Sitchin) Held The Sun And Moon To Be “Planets,” These Eleven Globes Plus The Sun Add Up To Twelve Planets. Of Course, Since We Now Know Of Nine Planets Plus Our Sun And Moon, Part Of Sitchin’S Argument Is That The Sumerians Knew Of An Extra Planet Beyond Pluto. This Extra Planet Is Considered By Sitchin To Be Nibiru, An Astronomical Body Mentioned In Mesopotamian Texts. Sitchin’S Works Detail His Contention That Nibiru Passes Through Our Solar System Every 3600 Years, And So Some Believers In Sitchin’S Theory Contend That Nibiru Will Return Soon. Some Followers Of Sitchin’S Ideas Also Refer To Nibiru As “Planet X”. Is Sitchin Correct – In Whole Or In Part?
