Sitchin
writes of the existence of a document which would contain a message
from deep space. In it, a complete description of the Earth's position,
the coordinates and the direction to reach Earth is explained..
"...such
extraordinary evidence does exist....The evidence is a clay tablet
found in the ruins of the Royal Library in Nineveh. Like many of the
other tablets, it is undoubtedly an Assyrian copy of an earlier Sumerian
tablet. Unlike others, it is a circular disc; and though some cuneiform
signs on it are excellently preserved, the few scholars who took on the
task of deciphering the tablet ended by calling it "the most puzzling
Mesopotamian document...the disc, which is divided into eight
segments...bears geometric shapes unseen on any other ancient artifact,
designed and drawn with considerable precision. They include arrows,
triangles, intersecting lines, and even an ellipse - a
geometric-mathematical curve previously assumed to have been unknown in
ancient times..."
The names of the celestial bodies carved into
the eight segments of the disc prove the astronomical function of the
tablet. The disc has been analyzed with a more or less degree of
accuracy in the past, giving unsatisfactory results, partly because of
the superficiality of the analyses, and partly because of the dogmatic
approach used by scholars.
Sitchin's interpretation, instead, seems to reveal something more:
"...Ernst
F. Weidner, first in an article published in 1912 (Babyloniaca: "Zur
Baby-lonischen Astronomic") and then in his major textbook Handbuch der
Babylonischen Astronomie (1915), thoroughly analyzed the tablet, only to
conclude that it did not make sense. His bafflement was caused by the
fact that while the geometric shapes and the names of stars or planets
written within the various segments were legible or intelligible (even
if their meaning or purpose was unclear), the inscriptions along the
lines (running at 45-degree angles to each other) just did not make
sense. They were, invariably, a series of repeated syllables in the
tablet's Assyrian language..."
Sitchin, however, reading the disc
as Sumerian syllable-words, gave meaning to such repetitions, revealing
thus the nature of the document: a route map designed to guide and
coordinate a landing on Planet Earth:
"...The line represents a
route...The starting point is the triangle on the left, representing the
farther reaches of the solar system; the target area is on the right,
where all the segments converge toward the landing point..."
Next,
Sitchin goes on in reading the other segments of the disc, interpreting
them as planetary coordinates (ascending and descending). According to
Sitchin, the Nibiruans drew landing points and routes in order to
undertake periodical voyages to Planet Earth, when Nibiru was close to
it, that is, within the orbital point intersecting our Solar System (the
point of the 'crossing').
