A study published in the journal Science suggests that the Moon’s magnetic anomalies were the result of a gigantic impact 4 billion years ago.

The impact took place near the Moon’s south pole, and created one of the largest craters in the solar system: “The conundrum has always been that the magnetism we see on the moon is not correlated with any surface geology.”– Sarah Stewart-Mukhopadhyay, study’s co-author.

“Because the fields in this area are stronger than those found in any normal lunar rocks, our hypothesis is that it isn’t lunar material. We know the magnetic properties of asteroidal material are much higher than that of the moon. It is possible that metallic iron from an asteroid could have been magnetized by the impact, and deposited on the moon.”

A story from the Sumerian civilization (older than Hebrews or Pharonic Egypt) states that the Earth was created by the impact of the planet of the “Crossing” (Nibiru), and that impact also pushed the proto-planet Moon into orbit around the new Earth.

“Let the Earth join my family, Ki, Firm Land of the Below, let Earth her name henceforth be!
By her turning let there day and night be; in the days my healing rays to her I shall provide. Let Kingu [proto-planet] be a creature of the night, to shine at night I shall appoint him Earth’s companion, the Moon forever to be!
Nibiru the Words of Apsu [Sun] with satisfaction heard.”-from the Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

The latest hypothesis regarding the impacts on the Moon say that whatever hit was probably a huge dense iron asteroid.  The Sumerians described Nibiru as a huge dense planet, probably bigger than Jupiter.

Nibiru was created by the Sun (Apsu) for the sole purpose of smashing the renegade planets that were challenging the power of the Sun. The result was the Earth, Moon and asteroid belt.

“In a Chamber of Fates, a place of destinies, was he born.
By an artful Creator was he fashioned, the son of his own Sun he was.”-from the Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

Nibiru now holds the job of shepherding the planets of our solar system, to keep them in place. This is why tiny Pluto doesn’t go spinning off into deep space.  Nibiru does this by orbiting against our elliptical plane, and is why it is also called the Planet of the Crossing.

“From his quarter Apsu [Sun] gave his blessing:
Nibiru shall hold the crossing of Heaven and Earth; Crossing shall be his name!
The gods [planets] shall cross over neither above nor below;
He shall hold the central position, the shepherd of the gods [planets] he shall be.”–from the Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki
