I read an old article from the manila bulletin panorama magazine which talked about the coming of the 10th planet: Nibiru. The article talked about Zecharia Sitchin's books (the earth chronicles) which talks about, well, the earth's history - but not based on modern man's facts. 

To sum it all out, the article talked about how the ancient men (Sumerians and Babylonians) have written many facts about our solar system and the universe, some accepted by science while others not >> not yet, it seemed to imply. 

What made it interesting for me was it talked about how the ancient man talked about other planets and how the modern man just recently found out about pluto (1930s is what's recent here). 

Anyway, Nibiru was said to be a celestial body with a different orbit which probably was the cause of Tiamat's destruction (a large planet between Mars and Saturn during the time when our solar system was still unstable) resulting to Uranus' tilt, the retrograde orbit of a Neptune moon, creation of earth and the asteroid belt. This was the "Celestial Battle" which the Sumerians talked about.

Because someone told me that the 'real' end-of-the-world-day (recomputing Nostradamus' prediction) would be on 2012, i thought that this project (of reading about all of these) may be just right for my medskul break. 

and now, i read.

edit: Niburu is said to "come back" daw here "anytime soon".. end of the world na raw. watching that "Knowing" film kinda gives us some idea of what might happen except i dont think there'es total annihalation involved.
