Scientists Confirm Planet X?

We must admit, our minds are slightly blown that mainstream science is now confirming the existence of additional planets in our solar system. The concept of a Planet X has been speculated upon for years — according to the ancient Sumerians, a mysterious planet called Nibiru was the origin of their “gods” (AKA ancient aliens?) the Annunaki. Could it be that the ancients knew something about our solar system that we are only just beginning to understand?

“When the mythical island of Atlantis submerged into the ocean, it took all of its orichalcum with it. The legendary cast metal was reputedly second only to gold in value. Now, a team of divers say they’ve recovered 39 blocks of orichalcum in a sixth-century shipwreck on the seafloor near Sicily, Discovery News reports. The 2,600-year-old ship, likely from Greece or somewhere in Asia Minor, was carrying the metal to Gela in southern Sicily when it was caught in a storm and sank around 300 meters (1,000 feet) from the port.

 

“Nothing similar has ever been found,” Sebastiano Tusa of Sicily’s Sea Office says. “We knew orichalcum from ancient texts and a few ornamental objects.” According to Plato’s Critias, the metal was mined only on Atlantis, where it was used to cover the inside of Poseidon’s temple…”
