Nibiru and The Doomsday Theory

Nibiru is the supposed Planet that is going to collide with Planet earth and cause massive destruction.

Nibiru has been associated with the doomsday theory as it is claimed to be a planet known and discovered by the Sumerians. People claim that this meteor or planet will collide with planet earth on the 21st of December of 2012. NASA has denied the existence of this meteor and say that it does not exists. The fact is this meteor or planet has been associated with the 21st of December of 2012, Mayan Calendar, polar shifting, solar storms and planet alignment and they all are related with the doomsday theory.

But where did this name came from?
Nibiru first appeared in Babylonian astrology associated with the god Marduk. It also appears in the Babylonian creation poem Enuma Elish. The claims that Nibiru is a planet and was known to the Sumerians are contradicted by many Astronomers that claim that although Sumer was a great civilization, important for the development of things such agriculture, water management or writing, their skill was poor in astronomy. In fact, they did not had understanding about the planets that the Sun. This knowledge was only developed in ancient Greece two millennia after the end of Sumer.
