This is a fantastic link, Mad Dog, FULL of indications that the ancients KNEW about Planet X, aka Nibiru, aka (all manner of other names). KNEW it would return periodically after a long absense, and cause havoc with fire storms and high tides.

'They concluded that a celestial body came into the solar system causing havoc and destruction and dubbed this event “the Phaeton disaster.”'
'There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time PHAETHON, the son of Helios, [Or SON OF THE SUN—GJ] having yoked the steeds in his father’s chariot [influenced the planets orbiting the sun—GJ] because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the Earth….Now this was the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies [planets] moving in the heavens around the Earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the Earth, WHICH RECURS AFTER LONG INTERVALS; at such times those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the sea-shore.'
'Whereas just when you and other nations are beginning to be provided with letters and other requisites of civilized life, AFTER THE USUAL INTERVAL, THE STREAM FROM HEAVEN, LIKE A PESTILENCE, COMES POURING DOWN, and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education; and so you HAVE TO BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN LIKE CHILDREN, [This passage by Solon’s Egyptian priest is an amazing statement because he implies that “the usual interval” of time was known to them!—GJ] and know nothing of what happened in ancient times….you remember a single deluge only, BUT THERE WERE MANY PREVIOUS ONES.”'
