Sitchin-Velikovsky Connections - Links between their different theories?

[MrPP]

Has anyone else suspected any connections between the very different theories of S&V???

[Karsten]

Hi from Germany!

My name is Karsten and I read the major books of Velikovsky and "The 12th Planet" by Sitchin. I also browsed in other books of Sitchin. I found Velikovsky far more convincing than Sitchin! Velikovsky was a real scientist and a friend of Einstein. You can imagine that a genius like Einstein carefully chose his friends etc. Einstein basically agreed with V that cataclysms have happened in historical times (see the book Exodus in the Old testament). Sitchin, on the other hand, was not a sumerologist and receives until today a lot of justified criticism, see for example www.sitchiniswrong.com .

I find the subjects discussed here very fascinating! If time permits I will throw in my thoughts and opinions.

I am convinced Nibiru will visit us in a few years and cause the much prophecised Pole Shift.

Bye, Karsten

KARSTEN: WELCOME to the board! We look forward to your inputs. My prime suspicion is that it was the last (and final) passage of Niburu through the Solar system that initiated the major catastrophes discussed by V. Most likely when entering the plane of the planets, Nib had a close encounter with Jupiter, sucking out it's former solid core which became the comet (later planet) Venus. This was likely predictable by the Anunnaki astronomers on Earth, so they prepared to abandon Earth when Niburu looped around the Sun and again crossed the plane of the planets. Many of the sources cited by V. have Venus "born of the belly of (the male god) Jupiter". But the encounter with Jupiter so affected Niburu that it attained escape velocity and left the Solar System.

Both V. & S. suffered badly at the hands of the Establishment Scientists, Uniformitarians or not.

After 10 years, I've just begun re-reading (for the third time) V's "Worlds in Collision". After only 50 pages, I'm amazed at the plethora of details that I'd forgotten. The theories of V & S are becoming inseparable in my mind.
