Since there's much confusion over Nibiru, here's the scoop on the whole thing, so that you may not appear like a complete fool next time you post a thread about it, or comment about it.

[u]Note first of all that it was first invented by Zacharia Sitchin around 1976.[/u]

[i]
Zecharia Sitchin attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he states was a race of extra-terrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru.

According to Sitchin's interpretation of Mesopotamian iconography and symbology, outlined in his 1976 book The 12th Planet and its sequels, there is an undiscovered planet beyond Neptune that follows a long, elliptical orbit, reaching the inner solar system roughly every 3,600 years. This planet is called Nibiru.

According to Sitchin, [b][u]Nibiru collided catastrophically with Tiamat[/u][/b], which he considers to be another planet once located between Mars and Jupiter. This collision supposedly formed the planet Earth, the asteroid belt, and the comets.

Sitchin's hypotheses are not accepted by scientists and academics, who dismiss his work as pseudoscience and pseudohistory. [b]Sitchin's work has been criticized for flawed methodology and mistranslations of ancient texts as well as for incorrect astronomical and scientific claims[/b].
