Nibiru used to come closest to Earth and the sun (perigee), every 3,600 years. Then “For a time in cold is Nibiru engulfed; for part of its circuit by the Sun strongly is it heated.  A thick atmosphere Nibiru envelops, by volcanic eruptions constantly fed. All manner of live this atmosphere sustains. In the cold period the inner heat of Nibiru it keeps about the planet, like a warm coat that is constantly renewed. In the hot period it shields Nibiru from the Sun’s scorching rays.” [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 24]

CRISES ON NIBIRU IMPEL GOLDMINING ON EARTH 450,000 YEARS AGO

Nibiru evolved a violent, technologically-sophisticated, long-lived but mortal humans.  Nibirans, seven to eight foot tall, Nordic-looking folk, had, by 650,000 years ago, enjoyed technological development a few decades ahead of ours now. 

Lord An unified Nibiru after Nuclear wars killed many more men than women.  To fix the imbalance, An created a hierarchical male-centered, patrilineal society and kingship. Men could take principle and secondary wives, official concubines too. An's dynasty set The Law of Succession: THE KING’S HEIR, A SON HE HAS WITH HIS HALF SISTER--THE PRINCIPAL WIFE, RULES WHEN THE KING DIES. Nibiru’s succession law plagues Earth to this day. [Tellinger, M., 2006, Slave Species of god, page 98]. 

500, 000 years ago, Nibiru’s protective shield weakened. The thick atmosphere thinned. This created the impetus for the Nibirans to sent miners to Earth for gold to powder Nibiru’s air with golddust, save their atmosphere, and keep the heat they needed. [Tellinger, M., 2006, Slave Species of god, page 88]

By the reign of Enshar, sixth king after An, "Nibiru’s air has thinner been made, the protective sheild diminished." scientists warned. Enshar’s successor, Duuru begat no sons so the Council of Counselors elevated Duuru’s adopted son, Lahma to the throne.

To King Lahma, "In the councils of the learned, to heal the breach in the atmosphere there were two suggestions.

(1)"Use gold, within the Hammered Belt [Asteroids] abundant. To finest powder, gold could be ground, lofted high to heaven, suspended it could remain. With replenishment, the breach it would heal. Let celestial boats [rockets] the gold to Nibiru bring over.

(2) "Let weapons of Terror [nukes] be created, the missiles the volcanoes to attack, their dormancy to bestir, their belching to increase, the atmosphere to replenish, the breach to make disappear."

But "For a decision Lahma was too feeble; what choice to make he knew not."  Every clockwise orbit around the Sun, Nibiru lost more air Nibirans needed desperately to smooth their temperature and let them live. One Nibiran year, remember, is 3,600 Earth orbits of the sun.   For four Nibiran years (204,000 Earth years), the King fretted, couldn't decide: nuke the volcanoes or send miners to the Asteroids?  Meanwhile, Nibiru’s air bled into space. [Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki pages 32 - 33]

PRINCE ALALU KILLS NIBIRU'S KING LAHMA

Prince Alalu, descended from Nibiru’s forth king, Anshurgal (and a concubine)  confronted the King atop the palace's highest tower.  We need a king who acts now.  Not you; you dither while we all die.   I'm taking over now, before we lose what's left of our atmosphere.  Alalu hurled Lahma from the tower, then proclaimed himself King of Nibiru.

ALALU GIVES DAUGHTER TO EA FOR FEALTY FROM ANU

Anu, a prince descended from King An’s youngest son (Enuru) declared he, not Alalu, should succeed Lahma. But Alalu told Anu, Wed our children--my daughter Damkina; your son Ea; I rule and civil war we forestall. Anu agreed; he canceled the betrothal his daughter Ninmah had proclaimed with Ea.  Instead of Nimah, Ea wed Damkina [Sitchin, Z., 2010, There Were Giants Upon the Earth, page 249].

Ninmah pined for Ea, but sought solace in sex with her (and Ea’s) half-brother Enlil, a dashing military man. When Ninmah bore Enlil’s son Ninurta, Papa Anu angrily forbade her marriage to anyone ever.

Enlil, who before the Anu-Alalu marriage deal, would, by the Nibira Succession Law, have succeeded Anu as Nibiru’s king, lost his claim to the throne. The first male born of Ea and Damkina, Anu and Alalu agreed, would rule Nibiru and bring together the descent lines of both grandfathers, Alalu and Anu.

Ea and Damkina had a boy, Marduk. The pact between Anu and Alalu pledged Marduk–not Enlil, would one day rule Nibiru.  Deal in place, Anu pledged fealty to Alalu. Alalu, now acknowledged as King, made Anu his Cupbearer. [Sitchin, Z., The Wars of Gods and Men, 1985, page 84]
