I thought Niburu was supposed to destroy us at the end of the Mayan calendar?

This one always fascinated me and I followed it for a while. Not because I believed it. I'm either not smart enough to believe it or not dumb enough - the jury is still out.
But if you believe Wikipedia, this is an interesting read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm
It goes back to a dude named Zecharia Sitchin. I guess he read or translated or studied or something some Mesopotamian texts, which were based on a faulty understanding of Sumerian text, stating that a giant planet (Nibiru) passes by earth every 3,600 years. That was in the 1980s? Maybe 1990s. He later said that the next passing should be about 2900AD.
But then some crazy nutjob lady named Nancy Lieder claimed in the 1990's that there were "gray aliens" who had been contacting her since she was a young girl through an implanted device in her brain. Her first claim was that the Hale-Bopp comet didn't exist in 1997, and that "Planet X" would soon pass by and destroy us. Then she said it would pass by in 2003, and would pretty much destroy the earth's crust. When that didn't happen, she said she was just fooling "the establishment".
Other groups (not Lieder) linked Nibiru to 2012. When it didn't happen, she said that world leaders were trying to announce its existence in 2014.
In 2017 some other nerd named David Meade tried to tie it to secret codes in the bible, and said it would arrive in October 2017. This time, Nibiru would eclipse the sun, and all the bad guys in the world would launch a nuclear attack on the United States. Ha - I forgot this part: Barrack Obama would be elected to a third term. When that didn't happen, he revised his prediction for April, 2018. It looks as though people were just as frightened by the 2017 eclipse as they used to be tens of thousands of years ago.

So.. Nibiru will pop up from time to time. The next time the SEC fails to win the playoffs, blame it on Nibiru.

Not sure why Noah didn't try an underground bunker instead of all of that woodworking.

I mean I'm not the best interpreter of the old testament but if I read the plain text....

Looks like we might be due for a rewrite of the whole thing: "The Adam and Eve story will repeat (again)."
