Across the clay tablets of Mesopotamia, a name appears like a cipher from the stars-
Nibiru
, the "Planet of the Crossing." To the ancients, it was not merely a celestial body but a threshold: a cosmic judge presiding over the rise and fall of ages. From the
Enuma Elish
to the councils of the Anunnaki, from Babylonian ziggurats to modern telescopes searching for Planet Nine, Nibiru has always stood at the crossroads of myth and astronomy, fear and revelation.
Nibiru Rising
journeys deep into this mystery. It traces the story of Nibiru from its first appearance in Babylonian creation myths, through its echoes in flood legends and divine councils, into its modern rebirth as Planet X and a symbol of apocalyptic prophecy. Along the way, it explores how ancient sky-watchers may have encoded knowledge of long celestial cycles-precession, eclipses, comets-into temples, myths, and rituals, anticipating the return of a hidden world that brings transformation whenever it crosses near.
Blending ancient history, comparative mythology, and the latest astronomical debates, this book reveals how the memory of a single, enigmatic planet has shaped civilizations for thousands of years. Was Nibiru a literal body beyond Neptune, a lost piece of cosmic architecture, or a symbolic key to understanding time itself? Whether read as prophecy, science, or myth, its legacy is undeniable.
In a world where the past and future seem to meet in the stars,
asks:
are we once again standing at the crossing?
