244: Chapter 244: Tiamat is Super Earth, Nibiru is X

"Holy crap, the Sumerian Civilization star map, Xiaoyu's brother talked about this before!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember! On a clay tablet from six thousand years ago, there were drawings of Neptune, Uranus, and a missing planet!"

"And that missing planet was right between Mars and Jupiter!!!"

"Xiao Yu, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about this!"

"So, six thousand years ago, the Sumerians didn't just see the eight major planets, they even knew there was an Asteroid Belt there???"

"How did they know that? Could it really be that gods told them?"

"Maya, my scalp is tingling!"

"..."

Past memories overwhelmed the previously conflicted users.

Who could believe this? The Asteroid Belt is so small, how could it be visible to the naked eye?

Perhaps in the ancient starry sky, the high priests of the Sumerian Civilization could see the celestial bodies with the naked eye.

But that ring of the Asteroid Belt—how could it be visible to the naked eye? This makes it even more terrifying to think about!!!

National Astronomical Observatory.

Withdrawing his gaze from the big screen, Director Wang Weiguo frowned and scanned the crowd, "Who knows about this?"

A young researcher raised his hand and said with a surprised expression:

"Evidence of the Sumerian Civilization star map does exist; the most famous one is an Akkadian cylinder seal from 3000 BC housed in the Berlin State Museum, numbered VA/243."

"It depicts eleven celestial bodies orbiting a large star, which is the system map of the Solar System that we observe with our modern astronomical telescopes."

He operated his tablet, comparing the Sumerian Civilization clay tablet star map with a modern star map.

There was almost no difference; it was exactly the same as the modern star map.

This left Director Wang, Professor Zhang, and the other researchers, who were hearing about this for the first time, looking bewildered, and the meeting room was filled with the sound of gasps.

"Damn!!!" someone shouted, then rubbed their arms, covered in goosebumps.

The researcher began to explain: "Everyone look, according to the Sumerians' depiction—Mercury, Venus, Earth (Moon), Mars, and then here—" he pointed to the position between Mars and Jupiter, "there is a planet that we cannot find in modern astronomy. It is larger than Earth and smaller than Jupiter; it fits the concept of [Super Earth] that Xiaoyu's brother just mentioned, and it is very scientific!"

"Further back are Jupiter, Saturn, and then a pair of celestial bodies matching Uranus and Neptune; finally, there is Pluto—but the position is wrong. The Sumerians drew Pluto between Saturn and Uranus."

"This point increases its authenticity. After all, before the invention of the telescope, no one could precisely classify them with the naked eye. The authenticity of the Sumerians observing planets with the naked eye thousands of years ago is greatly increased."

"Except for this small error, that 4,500-year-old clay tablet not only depicted Uranus and Neptune, which are invisible to the naked eye, but also clearly marked that there used to be a large planet between Mars and Jupiter."

Director Wang and Professor Zhang Qinian exchanged glances, their eyes full of complexity.

"This..." Director Wang gasped, his brows furrowed tightly.

Professor Zhang Qinian took over: "So the Sumerians knew about the vacancy in that position six thousand years ago?"

"Yes." The young researcher nodded, "And it's not just the star map. In the Sumerian creation epic 'Enuma Elish', there is a detailed record of a celestial war."

"The epic says—Nibiru, an intruder from outer space, broke into the Solar System, and its satellite crashed into an ancient planet called tiamat. tiamat was torn in half—one half was smashed, becoming the bracelet hammered out, which is the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter; the other half... it's a bit mythical, so I won't go into it."

"tiamat is the [missing planet] mentioned in Xiaoyu's brother's lecture, which is the initial concept: [Twin Mars]. In this epic, Mars was not originally an independent planet, but a satellite of tiamat—fitting the previous speculation of Xiaoyu's brother."

"This is also what Xiaoyu's brother mentioned—why the North and South Poles of Mars have traces of being pulled by two gravitational sources, because its parent planet, tiamat, was once right beside it!!!"

As this researcher, who had a minor in astronomical history, finished speaking, everyone in the meeting room looked at each other, all seeing the shock on each other's faces.

Whether it was myth or not, the Sumerian Civilization knew thousands of years ago...

About the... Asteroid Belt... which cannot be observed with the naked eye between Mars and Jupiter!!!

The wisdom of the ancients and the frontier science mentioned by Jiang Zhe... is there even basically no difference???

"This..." a researcher said with difficulty: "This is exactly the same as what we just heard... one is an ancient legend of a group of Sumerian ancients, and the other is a speculation based on modern frontier science by Xiaoyu's brother!!!"

"Regardless of what it is, what Xiaoyu's brother and the Sumerian ancients said... vaguely points to the same..."

"Truth!!!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's pupils shook, and they felt the malice of the world!

Kyoto History Family Quarter.

Professor Chen Runzhi's eyes lit up, "Xiao Yu is such a smart child with a good memory; Xiao Jiang did indeed talk about the Sumerian Civilization star map before; at that time, I even specifically checked the information."

Nearby, Professor Liu Guangyi, Professor Wang Shouren, and Qian Mingyi all gathered around.

Professor Chen Runzhi lit a cigarette and spoke slowly:

"Nibiru means ferry boat in the Sumerian language, and it is also the twelfth celestial body in Sumerian mythology."

"tiamat is the primordial planet, smashed by Nibiru's satellite—one half became the Asteroid Belt, the other half became Earth; this half-and-half thing is a bit of a stretch; as for the Asteroid Belt, it is true, but as for the other half becoming Earth, I personally don't believe it much; but I will not deny that the high priests of the Sumerian Civilization saw the celestial bodies within the Solar System with the naked eye thousands of years ago."

"The [12 stars] mentioned in the ancient books of the Sumerian Civilization are completely consistent with the [6 pairs of twin planets] concept previously mentioned by Xiao Jiang!"

"The key is—the Sumerians also recorded the orbit of Nibiru. It was not smashed, but carried its remaining gravity, flew to the edge of the Solar System, and began a long journey of 3,600 years, then returned periodically—this is the [abnormal gravity zone] found by the astronomical community at the edge of the Solar System, and it has been verified in practice."

"Coincidentally, six thousand years ago, there happened to be a brief return. The high priests of the Sumerian Civilization saw that star with a long tail with the naked eye; they remembered the stories passed down by their ancestors, and then carved these onto clay tablets."

"Those clay tablets are now lying in the Berlin and British Museums."

After he finished speaking, Old Qian, Old Wang, and Old Liu looked at each other, feeling their skin tingling.

...

On the big screen.

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly, looking at Xiao Yu with full appreciation.

"Of course it's not a coincidence, that's because they knew!!!"

"Hiss~~" Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes lit up, but a deeper chill came over her, and she couldn't help but ask again: "Brother, you've listed so much just now, so the Sumerians, the clay tablets they wrote, are they true, 100% true?"

"Otherwise, how could they know things that even modern science doesn't know?"

Jiang Zhe curled his lips slightly, "Good question."

"Xiao Yu, do you remember when I was tutoring you before, I said—in the star map of the Sumerian Civilization, there is a planet that only returns once every 3,600 years?"

"I remember, you said it might be the gravitational anomaly in the outer Solar System, Planet X, or it might be the orthodox ninth planet of the Solar System model in today's astronomical community."

"Correct, then do you know what the Sumerians called that star?"

Xiao Yu shook her head, "I don't know."

"Nibiru."

Then Jiang Zhe briefly explained to Xiao Yu how the Sumerian Civilization divided the 6 pairs of planets in the Solar System and the concept of the missing planet.

After listening, Xiao Yu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "My Steel Rain, Nibiru is Planet X at the edge of the Solar System; and the planet between Mars and Jupiter, there is really a high probability that a planet really exists, which is the [Super Earth] that Brother said should exist in other star systems!!!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu stood up excitedly, "My God, Brother, it's so interesting, this astronomy is so interesting, especially the combination of astronomy and the real rumors of clay tablets, which makes me feel that the Solar System in ancient times was so wonderful!!!"

By now, Xiao Yu didn't care at all whether the planet between Mars and Jupiter was a star that didn't form a twin Mars or was accidentally smashed.

For her, the planet between Mars and Jupiter.

There is a 50% chance that the super civilization recorded in the Sumerian clay tablets came and fought a war; it is also possible that Nibiru smashed the tiamat between Mars and Jupiter a long time ago!

As for whether it was a super civilization or gravitational pulling that smashed it, she didn't care.

She only cared...

What Brother will talk about next time!

"Hiss~" Xiao Yu smiled excitedly: "Brother, please, please, I want to listen to astronomy next time!"

Jiang Zhe lifted his hand to check his watch, it was exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, "What do you want to hear?"

"The Moon, the Moon, I want to know where the Moon actually came from, how it was formed; I don't believe it was simply captured by the Earth; that's too boring; and science can't be 100% sure that the Moon came this way!"
