As the diagram shows the reasons for this discrepancy are firstly, because they considered the
Sun to be a rightfully included member of the Solar System and secondly, because they believe
our moon actually has a considerable history of its own. Many scientists and scholars have
surmised that our moon is too big to be called a real satellite and have debated whether the Earth
and the Moon should really be classed as a double planetary system. The Sumerian believed it to
be so and their name for the celestial body we know as the moon was ‘Luna’
The other planet that also exists in our solar system, the one that we have only now discovered,
they name as ‘Nibiru, the planet of the crossing.’ The Sumerians say that Nibiru is a large planet,
possibly comparable in size to Saturn or Uranus and that it has an extremely vast elliptical orbit
and that it takes 3600 of our years to complete just one orbit around our Sun. They also say that
Nibiru is the dwelling place of the ‘Anunnaki,’ their Gods.
Numerous mentions of the Anunnaki are made in various religious texts including the Christian
Bible in which they are often referred to as the ‘Elohim’ and the ‘Nephilim’ or sometimes in more
recent versions of the bible merely as ‘giants.’
In their texts the Sumerians repeatedly state that time flows differently on Nibiru than how it
flows on earth. They stress the point that the flow of time on any given planet is directly related to
the time it takes that planet to orbit its parent star, in this case, the Sun. This means for example,
that since it takes 12 earth years for Jupiter to orbit the Sun, a man living on Jupiter for one orbit,
would only physically age on year as apposed to someone on standing on earth who would age 12
years in the same period of Earth time. It therefore stands to reason that a person who lived on a
planet that takes 3,600 earth years to orbit the Sun would also only age one year during that
orbital timeframe. Such discrepancies in time are actually proven in part by Einstein’s Special
theory of Relativity and it is well known how time flows slower for astronauts when they are
away from earths rotational pull for example. Einstein even speculated that time was a type of
‘fabric’ that the planets ‘roll’ across similar to a ball rolling across a strip of linen.
The Sumerians inform us that one year on planet Nibiru was called a shar and was equivalent
in time to 3,600 Earth years. They also say that the average Anunnaki lifespan was around about
120 shars which equates to 120 times 3600 or 432,000 earth years. According to the Sumerian
King List a period of 120 shars passed from the time the Anunnaki first arrived on Earth until the
time of the Great Flood. This is extremely significant as 432,000 is a number that also features
very highly in numerous other mythologies as well.
Now before you start dismissing all this offhand, I again stress to you and ask you to remember
that as far-fetched and bizarre as all that may sound to you, that this is not a fantasy tale contrived
by myself or by Zechariah Sitchin, but is in fact gleaned from translations of 6000 year old
Sumerian clay tablets. And as we progress you will see that the Sumerian account really is the
most plausible explanation of creation that exists. It is also worth noting that the Sumerian record
of events is the only account that provides totally a plausible series of events that adequately
explains every single puzzle we are faced with about the rest of our solar system too. The fact
they knew of all of the planets in our solar system, even their correct relative sizes, rotational
movements and eccentricities, details that take advanced scientific knowledge to discover, plus of
the existence of the asteroid belt also raises the question: If their story is untrue then how on earth
were they able to acquire such accurate and detailed knowledge?
Let’s face it, how in the world were these ancient peoples ever even able to calculate
precession of the equinoxes? Mere knowledge of its existence requires some very advanced
scientific know-how. For now just consider the fact that it takes 72 years for the vernal point to
move through just one degree of the elliptic – would you notice a 1 degree change in the location
of the stars in 72 years? ...No, I didn’t think so.
The Sumerians called such a one degree shift in the heavens a “Celestial Portion.”
The Sumerian story of creation begins at a far earlier time than the Christian version though the
two stories do eventually overlap. The Sumerian version however, begins with the actual creation
