Nibiru (also transliterated Neberu, Nebiru) is a term in the, translating to "crossing" or "point of transition", especially of rivers, i.e. river crossings or ferry-boats. In, the term Nibiru (in spelled dné-bé-ru or MULni-bi-rum) refers to the  and the astronomical objects associated with it.

Marking the equinox
In a 2015 report for the Cuneiform Digital Library Bulletin, Immanuel Freedman concluded that the name Nēbiru may be assigned to any visible astronomical object that marks an equinox, as supported by cuneiform evidence. The and Enûma Eliš identify Jupiter as Nibiru, while tablets K.6174:9’ and K.12769:6’ name Mercury as Nibiru: "If Mercury (MULUDU.IDIM.GU4) divides the sky and stands there, [its name] is Nibiru."

Jupiter
In Babylonian cosmology, the planet Jupiter (referred to as a star) was called Nibiru when observed in the month of Tišritum. The states:
 * When the stars of have been finished, one big star – although its light is dim – divides the sky in half and stands there: that is, the star of Marduk (MUL dAMAR.UD), Nibiru (né-bé-ru), Jupiter (MULSAG.ME.GAR); it keeps changing its position and crosses the sky.

Nibiru was considered the seat of the summus deus who shepherds the stars like sheep as the "star of Marduk". The Enûma Eliš states:
 * Nibiru is [Marduk's] star, which he made appear in the heavens... [130-131] The stars of heaven, let him [Nibiru] set their course; let him shepherd all the gods like sheep.

Sitchin
(July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) proposed that Nibiru was an outer planet within our solar system. In his book The 12th Planet, Sitchin interprets Nibiru to be a giant planet (also called Marduk) that passes by Earth every 3,600 years, allowing its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity. Sitchin identified these beings with the Anunnaki from Mesopotamian mythology and claimed that they were humanity's first gods. Followers of Sitchin’s ideas refer to Nibiru as “Planet X”, the name given to a planet that is allegedly located within our solar system but beyond Pluto. Adherents to the “returning Planet X hypothesis” believe the return of this wandering planet will bring cataclysmic consequences to earth.

Although Sitchin wasn't a follower of a cataclysmic Planet X hypothesis, he was a proponent for the return of the Anunnaki. In his book, The End of Days, Sitchin set the time for the last passing of Nibiru by Earth at 556 BC, which would mean, given the object's supposed 3,600-year orbit, that it would return sometime around AD 2900. Sitchin believed that the Annunaki might return earlier by spaceship, and that the timing of their return would coincide with the shift from the astrological to the, sometime between 2090 and 2370.

Nancy Lieder
In 1995,, a Zeta contactee and founder of the website ZetaTalk, predicted that an astronomical object (Nibiru) would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 causing Earth to undergo a physical pole shift that would destroy most of humanity.

Lieder’s prediction of a cataclysmic event has been embraced by numerous doomsday groups who usually refer to this object as Nibiru or Planet X.

Lieder described Planet X as roughly four times the size of the Earth, and said that its closest approach would occur on May 27, 2003, resulting in the Earth's rotation ceasing for exactly 5.9 terrestrial days. This would be followed by the Earth's pole destabilising in a pole shift (a physical pole shift, with the Earth's pole physically moving, rather than a geomagnetic reversal) caused by magnetic attraction between the Earth's core and the magnetism of the passing planet. This in turn would disrupt the Earth's magnetic core and lead to subsequent displacement of the Earth's crust.
