The 2012 Nibiru question relates to whether or not a hitherto undiscovered planet is going to pass in close proximity to the Earth causing untold catastrophe. People that believe this hypothesis suggest that it is a celestial body which, as like all planets, has a fixed cycle. This orbit brings it in proximity to our world every’00 years causing massive planetary disruptions such as earthquakes, tsunamis, super volcanoes, as well as a pole shift. These events and their knock on effects are predicted to wipe out literally billions of people.

The history of the belief in such a planet can be traced back to the ancient Sumerian culture that depicted a tenth planet in their cuneiform tablets. Since that time it has been given many different names apart from Nibiru: Planet X, Nemeses, the Winged Globe, Marduk, the Tenth Planet, and also Wormwood.

It isn’t just the Sumerians that predicted a global event occurring in 2012; it is a theme in a number of other cultures. Many people associate the year 2012 with the Mayan people that lived in South America. They used very different forms of calendars based upon huge astronomical cycles.

In Mayan culture, December 21st 2012 is the end of the long-count calendar. This is a cycle that has lasted nearly several hundred years. It is only one of four such cycles that have existed in human civilization. The Mayans believed that it will bring about the dawn of a new age in which human consciousness and spirituality has a quantum jump that brings about a greater understanding of our role in the cosmos.

Any prophecy or theory is not a fact until it actually is proven correct. If in 2012 another planet does appear in our sky then it is almost impossible to fathom the consequences, its effect will be so widespread.

Our planet has always changed. What we see today, even the number of continents that exist, are not how it has always been. There have been millennia during which massive ice sheets covered half of America and Europe, also times of giant volcanic eruptions and cataclysmic earthquakes. There is even evidence that suggest polar shifts in the earth’s magnetic field have also occurred. But why these geological events have happened is open to speculation.

It is now thought that the Sun plays a greater role in Earth changes than previously realized. The solar and electromagnetic energy that is released from the Sun can have widespread effects here on our planet. It is possible that even the global warming that is being experienced may be down to the Sun’s activity and not the amount of carbon we produce. Some people have put forward the idea that Nibiru is not a planet but a twin star of our own Sun, and that we live in a binary galaxy.

At the end of the day one might ask, “Is there anything I can do to prepare for such an event?”
If there is a celestial body going to make an appearance in 2012, the answer is yes I would
try to be as prepared as with any catastrophe. If you are able, some people think there are geographical places that are safer than others, you might feel better living in one of these places. There are even communities who were formed with just this event in mind. I would try to learn as much as I can about all the events of 2012 so as to have a better understanding. Or you can just put it out of your mind and if it happens it happens. I know some folks have this idea. It’s up to you.
