| The part that i would have a problem with is the next arrival of 2012. Sitchin i think makes note that Anu came to visit in about 4000 BC, and that the passing occured around 3600? This would then put the 12th planet as the biblical star, who would then of course arrive back around 3600 AD. No other has offered an explanation of how the summariens were more advanced the the ones comming after them? Or more important i think is Why no one asks how come one bloodline would become rulers versus another, and Why would man dig for gold when it had no use? Sitchin answers those questions. So call him what you want, just offer a better explanation! | |||

| Is there anyone who can tell me the dates that Nibiru is supposed to have crosee through each sign of the zodiac. Anyone who can direct me to the correct place would be of a great help. | |||

| == Dispute == | |||
| This article on Marduk (or Nibiru) places too much emphasis on the theories of Sitchin. Sitchin's theories aren't scientifically accepted, but this article is not about Sitchin. It is about Nibiru which is a topic of Chaldean cosmology, regardless of Sitchin's theories. I am adding the POV tag to the article.--] 23:35, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Sitchin may be the source of the idea of a ], but he is not the source of information on ]. Stone carvings are the only source for Nibiru. Sitchin should only be mentioned in this article as a researcher who came up with theories about Nibiru. I suggest a ] article be created. The section ] can be moved there.--] 23:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| I went ahead and made this change and removed the POV tag. If anyone disagrees with what I did then replace the TAG and state why you think it is still POV. ] | |||
| You rely too much on Sitchin's reading of the tablets, which are unorthodox. Please detail Sitchin's theories in this article: ]. When you present his ideas in this ] article, be careful how you present them. Sitchin's interpretations of the tablets are controversial. In many, many cases, they do not explicitly say what he claims they say. He is most often '''interpreting'''. ] 01:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| I don't think it is disputed that ] almost always referred to a celestial body of some type (so the category ] is accurate regardless), but it is very much disputed that ] referred to an unknown 12th planet. ] 01:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| I am not passing judgment on Sitchin's interpretations, but realize that they unorthodox and largely unaccepted, and cannot be presented as factual or accepted. ] 01:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| If you feel that I'm wrong in erasing what I've erased from the article, discuss what you disagree with, and there may be compromise. ] 01:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Okay, you want to play it like that, then, and just revert? The bad news is that you lose, because in this case, most Sumerologists do not affirm that the Sumerians believed that ] was a 12th planet (and not some other celestial feature). Prove me wrong and show that many Sumerologists affirm this, or don't revert, because it will be considered vandalism unless you have credible references. ] 21:48, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Decius is entirely correct. Any credible source on Babylonian astronomy (and the name, ''pace'' Sitchin's devotees, is Babylonian) will tell you that Nibiru is A) Marduk's home, and B) almost always the planet Jupiter—except when it's the pole star. As the introduction to this article states. Sitchin's theories are, despite their popularity, so far outside the mainstream of ] that few have bothered to rebut them. —]] 16:42, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) | |||
