So, are you here to weigh in on the impending asteroid attack from outer space in the universe up there somewhere? Or are you only here to defend your honor?
Originally posted by Great King RatBecause it was the ancient Babylonian astronomer's name for Jupiter during the month of Tišritum which definitely exists. The name was also associated with Mercury and Libra, but only during that month. The word Nibiru meant transition point or crossing, especially of rivers.
How do you know Nibiru exists?
In Babylonian astronomy, Nibiru (in cuneiform spelled dné-bé-ru or MULni-bi-rum) is a term of the highest point of the ecliptic, i.e. the point of summer solstice, and its associated constellation.[1]The conspiracy theory about a killer planet isn't even a good one. It's not remotely plausible, physically impossible, and has virtually no entertainment value. Wikipedia does a good job of debunking it [2].
