In 1766 J.D. Titius proposed and in 1772 Johann Elert Bode popularized what became known as “Bode’s law,” which showed that planetary distances follow, more or less, the progression 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc., if the formula is manipulated by multiplying by 3, adding 4, and dividing by 10. Using as a measure the astronomical unit (AU), which is the distance of Earth from theSun, the formula indicates that there should be a planet between Mars and Jupiter(the asteroids are found there) and a planet Saturn(Uranus was discovered). The formula shows tolerable deviations up until one reaches Uranus but gets out of whack from Neptune on. Bode’s law, which was arrived at empirically, thus uses Earth as its arithmetic starting point. But according to the Sumerian cosmogony, at the beginning there was Tiamat between Mars and Jupiter, whereas Earth had not yet formed. Dr. Amnon Sitchin has pointed out that if Bode’s law is stripped of its arithmetical devices and only the geomatric progression is retained, the formula works just as well IF EARTH IS OMITTED– thus confirming Sumerian cosmogony.

Also citing in the same book, the Chapter–”A Space Base On Mars,”—Writing in “The Greening Of Mars,” James Lovelock and Michael Allaby employed science fiction to describe how microorganisms and “halocarbon gases” would be sent from Earth to Mars in rockets, the former to start the biological chain and the latter to create a shield in the Martian atmosphere. This shield of halocarbon gases, suspended in the atmosphere above the now cold and arid planet, would block the dissipation into space of the warmth Mars recieves from the Sun and its own internal heat and would create an artificially induced “greenhouse” effect. The warming and the thickened atmosphere would release Mar’s frozen waters, enhance plant growth, and thereby increase the planet’s oxygen supply. Each step in this artificially induced evolution would strengthen the process; thus will the bringing of Life to Mars mke it hospitable to Life. [------] the process called “Terra forming”—-should begin with the creation of an artificial shield to protect the planet’s dissipating heat and water vapor by artificially suspending a suitable material in the planet’s atmosphere was made by them in 1984. [-----]in THE 12TH PLANET(1976), it was described how the Anunnaki came to Earth about 450,000 years ago in order to obtain gold—needing the metal to protect life on their planet Nibiru by suspending gold particles as a shield in its dwindling atmosphere, to reverse the loos of heat, air, and water.
