If you, by chance, are not joking, then I would consider your post 'spooky ignorance from a distance'. Just be sure to stay at a safe distance. In response to George:

The scenario outlined by Sitchin, with Nibiru returning to the inner solar system regularly every 3,600 years, implies an orbit with a semi-major axis of 235 Astronomical Units, extending from the asteroid belt to twelve times farther beyond the sun than Pluto. This would mean that Nibiru spends 99% of its time beyond pluto. Those conditions are way to cold to sustain life. "Elementary perturbation theory indicates that, under the most favorable circumstances of avoiding close encounters with other planets, no body with such an eccentric orbit would keep the same period for two consecutive passages. Within twelve orbits the object would be either ejected or converted to a short period object. Not to mention that Sitchin's translations of both individual words and of larger portions of ancient texts are generally found to be incorrect by his colleagues. Sitchin bases his arguments on his personal interpretations of Pre-Nubian and Sumerian texts, and the seal VA 243. Sitchin claims these ancient civilizations knew of a 12th planet, when in fact they only knew five. Hundreds of Sumerian astronomical seals and calendars have been decoded and recorded, and the total count of planets on each seal has been five. Seal VA 243 has 12 dots that Sitchin identifies as planets. When translated, seal VA 243 reads "You're his Servant" which is now thought to be a message from a nobleman to a servant. According to semitologist Michael S. Heiser, the so-called sun on Seal VA 243 is not the Sumerian symbol for the sun but is a star, and the dots are also stars. The symbol on seal VA 243 has no resemblance to the hundreds of documented Sumerian sun symbols. Nibiru isnt real.

Neanderthals occupied Europe from about 800,000 to 30,000 years ago. Scholars have long argued over their extinction, and their relationship to people... Neanderthals became genetically distinct from that common ancestor only about 300,000 years ago. b) According to the ancient writings - the Sumerian ones and the Bible - two types of genesis took place on Earth: 1) The genesis of the monkey - people, described in the Sumerian writings - Zecharia Sitchin, The Twelfth Planet: 300.000 years ago, the inhabitants of Nibiru rebelled. Enki and Ninhursag (his sister) have decided to create a primitive man using genetic engineering techniques and combining the (female) ape genes with those of Enki, the resulting egg being thus impregnated into the uterus of Ninki, Enki's wife. 2) The genesis of the Anunnaki - people, clones of the inhabitans of the planet Eris/Nibiru, described in the Bible. Is much more recent, taking place approximately 8000 years ago. "Then God (Elohim, the divinity = PLURAL), said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness'...then the Lord (Yahweh/Anu - A/N) formed the man of dust from the ground (organic and anorganic material of human body- A/N) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature"(Genesis 1: 26 ; 2: 7): http://cristiannegureanu.blogspot.com/2009/02/usa-today-gene-map-shows-few-links.html a) USAToday (2/13/2009) – An international team Thursday said it has completed a draft of the genome of Neanderthals, which shows that our extinct cousins made “very little, if any” contribution to human genes… Neanderthals occupied Europe from about 800,000 to 30,000 years ago.
