Is there any physical evidence whatsoever of any of this save for what the Sumerians wrote? Did Sitchin take any pictures of the tablets? Did he use any reliable method to put a date on them? Has anyone else aside from Sitchin checked these findings or translated them on their own? I just don't understand this at all. Even if these tablets exist, just because someone wrote something a long time ago that doesn't make it true.

Also, If Nibiru has such a ellipical orbit then we theorize that something else besides our Sun is pulling the planet into such a shape. Maybe... just maybe when Nibiru gets past Pluto and Sedna, and if it does go into a different Solar System, then maybe it goes around another sun, similiar to our own.
If Nibiru is real, since it is a large planet it might cause other outer planets to wobble in a measureable fashion. This could allow astronomers to calculate its position. Why has no one found it?
Just because something has an elliptical orbit doesn't mean something besides the sun is pulling on it. Why would comets and asteroids follow elliptical orbits if that were the case? And if there was another sun for it to orbit around, we would be able to see it as it would be the closest star to Earth. Presently, the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.2 light years - so far away, that if a planet were to try to orbit around it and our own sun, it would be thrown off course by one or the other stars and be lost to both. They would make a difficult target to orbit around, since stars move.

... we can only speculate from ancient text. Our technology isn't as good as you think it is, we can only see so far with any telescope and beyound Sedna we haven't a clue what is out there.
Our technology is good enough that we don't need to speculate from ancient texts of questionable origin. And there exist theories about the existence of the Kuipier Belt and Oort Cloud (Pluto, Charon, Quaoar, and Sedna are probably just large objects in these areas), so we have a general idea of what is out there. Yes, there could be life on other worlds beyond our own, but I strongly doubt that life can exist anywhere that cold and far from the sun.
My problem with this "theory" is that it has no evidence to back it up. There would be artifacts, fossils, SOMETHING left for us to find. I haven't seen anything besides a few websites and timelines. Besides, the story is almost totally unbelievable. Sure, its interesting and would make a great graphic novel, but thats not sound science. It doesn't explain all the evidence for human evolution without the influence of some alien race living on a planet too far from the sun to sustain life.

I haven't seen that website up until now. Just looking at the front page, they talk about the face on Mars. I think if there was anything that looked as interesting as a possible huge monolith on Mars, NASA would have landed something there. Instead, they took new pictures of it and it turned out to just be mountains.
Looking at the slides from one of his lectures, he edits a newer picture of the face on Mars to make it look like more like a face!
Here is a picture I like from one of that guy's lectures. It is a bit hard to read so I have typed out what it says:
"Troubled Times believes that a world-wide cataclysm, will strike the Earth in the year 2003. The cause of this natural event will be a planet, known to the ancients, which will pass very near the earth as part of its normal 3,600 year orbit around the sun.
...affecting all life on earth. These events have occurred before, as ancient legends and Prophecies fortell, creating what man Interprets to be ice ages, wandering poles and the flood, and have resulted in the extinction of the Mastodon and the sinking of Atlantis."
I must have missed that one last year. Do people seriously believe in all this?

Can you go into more detail, please? I'd like to hear more about what this person said to you.

Re: St. Germain
I looked on Google. Most mentions of Comte de St. Germain fall between the years 1750 and 1784. He was quite a celebrity from about 1750 to 1760 and would give out various elixirs and potions that supposedly prevented aging. During the height of his popularity he appeared to be around 40 to 50 years of age. He was quite rich, possibly from selling this elixirs, and was fond of jewels. In 1777, a minister noted that he appeared between 60 and 70 years of age. According to the church register of Eckernfrde, he died in 1784. He had lived his last years under the patronage of Prince Charles of Hesse-Cassel in Schleswig, Germany, and had spent most of his fortune. He suffered form rhuematism at this time.
Comte de St. Germain was later sighted by various people, but he sounds to me like an 18th century version of Nessie or Bigfoot. It is true that he was rarely seen eating anything other than an oatmeal mixture which he prepared himself, and that he claimed to be over 2000 years old. He said that he knew Jesus Christ. However, in 1775, when Madam de Gergy asked if they had met in 1710, he replied that it was possible that they had met but unlikely. He had supposedly sold her some sort of elixir which had kept her young for a long time.
I believe that St. Germain is not consistant with a member of some lost alien race, but rather with a charlatan and snake oil salesman. Just because there are legends about someone and some people say they are true, doesn't mean that they are right.

Re: shannonavery
We really can't ask specific questions unless we know the general scope of your notes. Could you at least give a few of the topics that your source focused on?
