One of the most powerful proponents of this theory is prolific writer, researcher and historian Zecharia Sitchin, and his evidence is pretty convincing. The following interview took place on 5 May 2003, a time when many people had questions about the ransacking of the National Museum of Iraq and the possible return of the planet Nibiru.
