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.
