In order to manage these earthly slaves, certain humans were interbred with their alien hosts in an effort to increase their intelligence factor. These hybrid humans became the managers and go-betweens, and probably the first priests.53 They were the offspring of the "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6:4; who had cohabited with the "daughters of man." (This interbreeding of a superior Elohim host with an inferior human to create a special "super-earthman," was repeated and documented in the Bible, with the strange births of Samson, Moses, and Jesus Christ, as well as the extra-biblical book of Enoch which describes the birth of Noah, a child of one of the “Watchers of Heaven”). These half-breed priests supervised and managed all phases of human life. The priest's authority and power over people was derived from his ability to communicate directly with the deity. Each Sumerian temple was the literal house or "domicile" of a god. Priests and other attendants constituted the god's personal household servants. Their major task was to minister to the divine master's wants through ceremonies and sacrifices. A second duty of the priest was to act as mediator between the god and his human slaves.54
It is no coincidence that the Deity of the Old Testament who rescued the Hebrews from Egyptian captivity, chose this very same system of "governing" the human masses by instituting a "priest mediator." He was merely following established protocol. First, the Sumerian (and Hebrew) priest had to determine the will of his Lord. Then, if necessary, he had to propitiate the god's anger, or ask the divine approval of the god before humanity could undertake a project of any significance.55
If the Sumerian civilization was indeed visited by ancient astronauts, and the Sumerians themselves were genetically altered beings bred from a union of the two races; then this would explain how humanity, after surviving the holocaust of the Deluge, could have been quickly and efficiently organized into cities.56 This also resolves how humans could have been content to be the slaves of these "gods from space," even though they had nearly allowed them to be destroyed by the Flood.57
Any humans offering resistance to these beings would have been crushed immediately. Since ancient humans held these gods in such awe and reverence; they probably offered their services to them willingly. It stands to reason that a decimated human population would have needed the assistance of a superior culture to stay alive and rebuild their world. In turn the gods would have required the services of man to rebuild their own destroyed installations here on Earth which would have been engulfed and obliterated by the tremendous global inundation.58
That advanced beings, capable of interplanetary travel, would have also had the ability to create inferior worker beings is indisputable. We ourselves have left our foot prints in the powdery gray dust of our moon, and -- like the Elohim astronauts, we have also begun to dabble in genetic biological engineering.

6. Nemesis, The Death Star, And Planet X
Scientists have determined that every 26 to 32 million years, mass extinction's on earth occur. These wipe out entire species. Many theorize that renegade comets or asteroids are hurled into the earth's atmosphere setting up clouds of dust containing iridium. This acts as a shield, blocking the beneficial rays of the sun, causing death to plant and animal life. By studying groups of extinct animal families, the dinosaurs included, a persistent pattern of destruction is apparent. This lead scientists to investigate the cause of this mass extermination cycle, which in turn led to the search for Nemesis, or the "death star."59
Some believe in the existence of a low mass star, a binary companion to our own yellow dwarf. According to this theory, the death star moves in an extremely large orbit around this system's center of mass, which would be close to the much more massive star in the system, our sun. The slow moving Nemesis would produce comet showers at 26 million year intervals during the time it would reach its closest point to our sun in its elongated orbit.
If its mass were equal to the sun's mass their common center of mass would lie halfway between two stars. Consequently, both stars would move in orbits of equal size. However, our sun must have at least eight times the mass of Nemesis, or else it would have been bright enough to have been detected by now. Since the center of mass of the Sun-Nemesis system must lie between the two objects, it should be at least eight times further from Nemesis, than from the sun.
Nemesis, the sun, and their respective planets, asteroids and comets, would orbit the center of the Milky Way, bobbing up and down through the galaxy's median plane. Johannes Kepler was the first to discover that when a less massive object moves around a more massive object in response to the latter's gravitational force, the object of less mass will move along an elliptical trajectory. The orbital period of such an object depends only on the mass of the more massive object, and on the length of the long axis of the elliptical orbit. Therefore, the shape of the orbit, extremely elongated, or nearly circular, does not matter in determining the orbital period; only the length of the long axis counts. An orbit with a major axis 100 times that of the earth's would have an orbital period of 1000 years.60
However, the orbital period we are concerned with is not one of only 1,000 years, but of 3,600 years, according to ancient Mesopotamian texts.61 Besides the periodic destruction of life on earth due to the fact that a mysterious body perturbs comets, there is also an influence on the outer planets by this object.62 In 1984 Daniel Whitmire, and John Matese, of the University of Southern Louisiana, hypothesized that a tenth planet of the sun's family is actually responsible for perturbing comets into the inner solar system. They believe that a previously undetected planet lies outside Pluto's orbit at a distance of (50 to 100 A. U). They named this mystery body "Planet X," meaning both the tenth planet and unknown.63 ( It could be that Planet X orbits the smaller “Nemesis Star,” as well as our own sun. This would tend to explain why Planet X has such an extremely elliptical and elongated orbit. It could be that Nibiru does not orbit our sun, but orbits only the smaller Nemesis, or companion star to Sol. If this is the case, then Nibiru would only cut through our solar system between Jupiter and Mars while in its apogee from Nemesis.)
If Planet X has a significantly elongated orbit, then at certain points along its orbit, at greater distances from the sun, the planet would perturb those comets in the Oort cloud, (which move around the sun at distances of 10,000 to 40,000 A.U). The planet would have to have a mass larger than Earth's in order to exert influence over them. A smaller mass would prevent Planet X from exercising any gravitational pull on them.
These scientists theorize that the planet has an elongated, elliptical orbit that slowly processes; or changes its orientation in space over a long period of time. As it shifts its position in space, it moves into a new belt of cometary orbits, smaller than the Oort cloud, discharging them into the inner solar system where they wreak havoc.64 According to Sumerian and biblical cosmological data studied by Zecharia Sitchin, the enigmatic planet does possess a highly elliptical orbit. One that takes it way past Pluto, against the constellation Orion, bringing it back in around the sun, through the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars --then back toward the outer planets again in 3,600 year cycles.65 During the time it travels into outer space beyond Pluto, it cannot be seen from earth with ordinary telescopes. Geological data seems to indicate that the planet might cause periods of devastation on earth in small cycles of 3,600 years during its perigee; as it makes its yearly circuit. Later cycles of much larger duration consisting of 26 to 32 million years due to anomalies in its peculiar orbit would transpire.
Does Planet X actually exist? On January 10, 1981, THE DETROIT NEWS printed this article titled: "10th Planet? Pluto's orbit says 'yes', by Hugh McCann:
If new evidence from the U.S. Naval Observatory of a 10th planet in the solar system is accurate, it could prove that the Sumerians, an ancient eastern Mediterranean civilization, were far ahead of modern man in astronomy.
Astronomer Thomas Van Flandern told a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Albuquerque this week that the irregularities in the orbit of Pluto, the farthest known planet from the sun, indicates that the solar system contains a 10th planet.
Pluto was the last planet discovered, in 1930. Since then, astronomers have been searching unsuccessfully for planets further out. Indeed, Pluto had unknow
ingly been photographed but remained unrecognized for a long time because it was so difficult to see. Presumably, any other new planets would be easy to miss visually.
But the heavenly body suspected by Van Flandern is making its presence felt in the same way that Pluto's presence was suggested - from the bulges that Pluto's gravitational field causes in the elliptical orbit of its closest neighbor, Neptune.
Now, says Van Flandern, subtle bulges detected in Pluto's orbit mean that there must be still another planet. He calculates that the unseen planet is four times the size of Pluto, and 1.5 times its distance from the sun.
Van Flandern's announcement comes as no surprise to Zecharia Sitchin, whose book, THE 12TH PLANET, came out three years ago. Sitchin, who describes himself as a Russian born linguist and archaeologists, says that the Sumerians, who date back 6,000 years, knew of a planet beyond Pluto. They counted it the 12th planet, he explains, because in their system of reckoning, the sun, and the moon are also counted as planets. Its Sumerian name was Nibiru. (Reprinted with permission of THE DETROIT NEWS, a Gannet newspaper, copyright 1981).
To arrive at the orbital period of 3,600 earth years; Sitchin found that a large circle was used by the Sumerians to represent the number 3,600. The epithet used for Marduk was "shar" or supreme ruler. It also meant perfect circle, or completed circle; and it meant the holy number 3,600. Therefore if a circle equals 3,600, and a shar equals a circle, and a shar also equals 3,600, then Marduk equals 3,600. The next logical step was to determine how 3,600 applied to Marduk.66
