Translations:Tiamat/9/en

According to Sitchin, Marduk is caught in a large elliptical orbit around the Sun and returns to the site of the collision between Jupiter and Mars every 3,600 Earth-years. He calls Marduk “the Twelfth Planet” after the ancient Sumerians’ scheme of this solar system, which depicts 12 celestial bodies—the Sun, the moon, and 10 planets.
