If Nibiru is Jupiter, then it didn't come anywhere near Earth in Babylonian times and it won't come anywhere near Earth in the next few years either. Planets do not leave their orbits and go wandering off like that and then pop back to their orbits again till the next bout of wanderlust strikes them!
I have a number of questions for people who believe there is a planet called Nibiru which is about to come calling on Earth in 2012 bringing death and devastation in its wake, as it does so ... I would like to hear some answers to the following questions about Nibiru.
(a) How far away frpm Earth is the dead star that Nibiru supposedly rotates about?
Sirius B is the nearest white dwarf that we know about and that is 8,6 light years away. Is this dead star nearer than that?
(b) Is this dead star known to astronomers? Does it have a Henry Draper catalogue number? Is it in the Gliese catalogue of nearby stars?
(c) Which constellation is this dead star in, please and what apparent magnitude is it?
(d) Have astronomers found one or more extra-solar planets revolving around this dead star? If so, what are their masses and what are their distances in AU from their star and what are their orbital periods?
(e) Can you explain how Nibiru manages to escape the gravitational influence of its star and launch itself off into space to go star-hopping to other stars, every 3,000 years?
(f) Given the distance that its parent star is from us, can you explain how Nibiru is going to make it to earth. within the next four and a half years? Given the nearest star we know about is 4.22 light years away and nothing can travel faster than light?
(g) Can you explain how the planet Nibiru "cuts through" our Solar System? Do you mean that it enters it, beyond Pluto and then migrates to the inner solar system? If so, can you explain why and how it does so, given no other planet or minor planet gets further in than Neptune?
(h) Is Nibiru somehow exempt from the ordinary Laws of Physics that apply to all other celestial bodies?
(i) how can you possibly know for certain that five-sixths of earth's population (over 5 billion people) will die? Do you have a trajectory of Nibiru, based on observations of it, and calculations of how close it will come to earth?
(j) If you don't have a trajectory, do you at least know where Nibiru is right now? How do you know? Have you seen it in a telescope?
(k) if you can't tell me (don't know) where it is right now, and you don't have a trajectory, then how can you say with any certainty that Nibiru is coming? And when it will arrive.
What it boils down to is the difference between prophecy and prediction. Mankind from ancient times has been studying the planets and working out their orbits in considerable detail, and has therefore been able to predict where they will be in the skies in the future with some confidence.
But no-one who writes about Nibiru has (as far as I can see) ever done any study of the heavens to find this planet and predict its future behaviour and its course from its observed behaviour to date.
All you appear to have to offer us is rumour, myths, mysticism and unsubstantiated assertions without evidence or proof. Why should anyone believe you?
And why should anyone believe in Nibiru because somebody they don't know says "Nibiru is coming" but offers no details to support that thesis?
It is not the government that doesn't tell us anything about Nibiru (they don't know anything about it, so how can they?) it is Nibiru-believers who don't tell us anything!
So, to answer your question, of course we don't "know anything about Nibiru" to have anything to impart about it, when those who say they believe in Nibiru, have not imparted anything and are reluctant to answered any questions!

Nobody knows that's true. I personally think it's total junk. Under the Freedom of Information Act, it's technically illegal for the government to hide stuff like that. If somebody found it to be true, then found the government knew and hid it, the government would be in HUGE trouble. It's more dangerous to hide stuff like that from the public rather than to tell them, so the government probably doesn't know everything and hide it from us. Common sense just tells us this stuff is from con artists who can't make a living like a normal human being.

It's quaint Sumerian myth and legend. If you want to waste your time chasing it down all over again, be my guest. I been there, done that, got the T-shirt, and I'm done trying to keep the big fat fools on this board from falling for hoaxes.
The ONLY websites that presently deal with the FALSE existence of "Nibiru" are pseudo-scientific in nature, having absolutely no visible connection to ACCREDITED establishments of intelligence and learning.
And don't jump to conclusions and make stuff up about NASA keeping this nonsense a secret. You sound like one of those mindless "government conspiracy" freaks when you do.
Have a nice and truly productive life.

They think that if they tell the public it will be the end of the world sooner than they expect and the government will not know how to handle it. Just like there is life in other planets, we all know that, but again the govermnet do not now whoto explain these things so they are afraid to go public

Nibiru is a name in Babylonian astrology associated with the god Marduk, generally accepted as referring to the planet Jupiter. Jupiter never comes anywhere near the Earth, so there is nothing to be scared about.

This is a silly hoax. The only thing I find scary is that people believe it. If you knew anything about how science is done you would realize that NASA isn't in a position to suppress astronomical information.

If your interested in Nibiru read the book "The 12th Planet" by Zecharia Sitchin.

What I learned in my astronomy class ( if it's correct , old textbook) that when Clyde Tombaugh first discovered Pluto he wrote it as planet X till it was named. He or anyone did not previously know what it was so untill they named it pluto, it was labeled planet x.

Yes it exists and has been classified as a Dwarf planet, much the same as Pluto has. It is made out of the same materials as Pluto, mainly rock and ice and formed from the same region as Pluto, a giant ice cloud in the back of our solar system. There are several hundred of these ice planets out there, planet X is just one of them.
