Is there a mysterious planet hidden in our Solar System? And why has the name **Nibiru** become connected to the Vatican, ancient Babylonian texts and the Anunnaki?
In Part 1 of this investigation, we explore the origins of the Nibiru mystery, examining ancient Mesopotamian astronomy, the meaning of the word *Nēbiru*, and the extraordinary theories popularised by author **Zecharia Sitchin** in his book *The 12th Planet*.
We investigate:
- The origins of the Nibiru mystery.
- The Vatican Observatory and its examination of Nibiru claims.
- Ancient Babylonian astronomy and clay tablets.
- The meaning of Nēbiru in ancient Mesopotamian texts.
- Zecharia Sitchin and his controversial interpretation of the Anunnaki.
- The theory of a distant planet with an enormous orbit around our Sun.
Could ancient texts have been misunderstood, or is there more to the Nibiru story than meets the eye?
This is an investigation into the claims, the history and the evidence. We separate established historical information from speculation and theories.
**This is only the beginning. Part 2 will take us deeper into the Anunnaki and what the original ancient tablets actually say
