"Nibiru" may well have been Jupiter, indeed. And the Sumerian's greatness is not as well preseved as that of the ancient Egyptians probably because they lacked the huge monuments as a means of ensuring survival of their legacy...
My personal list ranking the greatest spiritual masters in history.
1. Buddha (Hindu rebel who broke with Hindu tr ...[text shortened]... mystic of Jewish Hassidism)
10. Chuang Tzu (3rd century BC Chinese sage, Lao Tzu's successor)
Also the great Mother Goddess seems to have been no small influence on many religions including Chaldean Mythology.
I get the sense of a god that was evolving as mankind accumulated more and more knowlege. Maybe the "creationist" are right , that science is replacing religion, if it has maybe it's because we understand the universe better than the neolithic people that had no way of testing the myths.
