that befell the inner
planets around the sun.
    If
we were to try and describe what happened at that time in non-scientific
terms, how would we go about doing so? What would this invading Dark Star with
its own system of planets have looked like as it crashed through our sun’s
territory?
    Young
brown dwarfs shine with a red flame, despite their name. Theoretical observers
on Earth might see this red star’s corona or ‘halo’, which would be subject to
the driving force of the Solar Wind, and would thus be swept back from the sun.
Perhaps this would give the brown dwarf the appearance of a bright red fire-bird in the sky, its swept-back corona appearing as wings.
    Like
the mythical Phoenix, the normally invisible brown dwarf binary would have been
re-born to enjoy a fleeting movement through the heavens, before returning to
the darkness of the comet cloud. Unless this planetary Phoenix approached too
close to one of the other planets, life would go on in the solar system as if nothing
had ever happened. If it did cause cosmic calamities, then anomalies would have
been created that remain, even today, mysteries. Like the fact that Uranus
spins on its side, or that Pluto’s orbit is eccentric, or even that the Earth
has water!
    For
several years, I have undertaken studies to prove the existence of a ‘Dark
Star’ orbiting the sun from a dual perspective: mythological and scientific.
The two studies are deemed to be mutually exclusive by mainstream academics,
making my research unacceptable at their level, but I believe that there is
increasing overlap between the two disciplines for anyone who cares to look.
Certainly, the scientific evidence for a binary companion is becoming more
voluminous, and these startling new findings will form the basis for some of
this book.

Zecharia Sitchin
    The mythological aspects of this study expand upon research
conducted by Zecharia Sitchin 25 years ago regarding the writings of the
ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia. 22 He offered an intellectual
argument for the existence of a mysterious planet termed ‘Nibiru’ that was
observed from Earth during historical times and venerated by many cultures. Its
meaning is ‘the Ferry’, implying its nature as a crossing point between two
places. 23 This is a rather enigmatic name, and one that I don’t
think Zecharia Sitchin ever satisfactorily explained, but the meaning should
become clear during the course of this book.

     
    Sitchin
equated Nibiru with the Babylonian god Marduk from the Creation Myth called the
‘Enuma Elish’. I think this Marduk was the Dark Star, the sun’s binary
companion. Marduk was the ambitious young hothead of a god who decided to take
all the other gods on in a titanic struggle for cosmic dominance. He is the
‘Son of the sun’, a phrase that finds a real meaning in the binary Dark Star.
This planet was described by the Babylonians as a ‘red star...that bisects the
heavens’, 24 and as the ‘Celestial Lord’ greater than all the other
planets.
    How could the ancients have known of such a planet if it had not
passed through the solar system during historical times? They had no advanced
telescopes to seek out distant planets among the comets, and were reliant upon
either their own historical observations, or the receipt of information about
this ‘Nibiru’ from elsewhere. This is where Zecharia Sitchin becomes highly
controversial. He claims that Nibiru is the home of the gods of Mesopotamia, in
a flesh-and-blood sense.
    His maverick ideas have been almost universally dismissed by the
academic establishment. However, I believe that the core ideas presented by
Zecharia Sitchin are correct, but in need of some technical modifications. This
book sets out to argue that case.
    A massive planet in a comet-like orbit is actually consistent with
modern science, and could offer conditions on its moons conducive to life, but
not in the way originally envisioned by Sitchin. Even so, his claim of an
undiscovered
