Numerical Codes

Selected quotations and examples of numerical patterns that Zecharia Sitchin identified in Sumerian, Babylonian, and biblical texts.

The Number 3,600 (NÉRU)

"The NÉRU is 3,600 years — the orbit of the great planet Nibiru. The gods of heaven counted time in NÉRU, not in years."

"Alulim of Eridu reigned 28,800 years = 8 NÉRU. Alalgar of Eridu reigned 36,000 years = 10 NÉRU." — Sumerian King List

The Number 50

"The fifty great gods of the Anunnaki who decree the fates, the fifty who sit in the council of Enlil..."

"The sacred number of Enlil is 50 — the highest after Anu's 60."

The Number 12

"The twelve great gods of heaven, the twelve months of the year, the twelve houses of the zodiac..."

"Twelve is the number of the celestial council, and of the tribes of Israel, and of the apostles of the son."

The Precessional Numbers

"72 is the number of degrees in one zodiac age — the number of years it takes for the stars to shift one degree."

"2,160 years is one zodiac age — 1/12 of the 25,920-year precessional cycle."

"The Great Year, the cycle of the ages, is 25,920 years — the time it takes for the equinox to complete its journey through all twelve houses."
