YEAH, Ive read lots about it-
Its been the main focus of Zecharia Sitchin's reserch for the past 4 decades.
He bases his books on the many tablets of the Sumrian civlization[oldest known city of civilzed human culter].
Acording to there texts the tenth planet is known as Nibiru or Marduk in the Babylonian society.
Indeed acording to there tablets the planet usualy does cross through the asteroid belt[hammerd braclet, that seperates the above from below to them]. Although the second to last time Nibiru completed its orbit it wasnt crashing asteroids that it gave us problems with- its gravitational pull on our planet caused the ice cap on our south poll to finish melting and slip off into the ocean- thus creating the GREAT DELUGE known in our old testiment as THE FLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His research has amazingly closed the gap on the constant bickerings of mans science vrses his religion. Ive found the extremes that these "Sumerian texts" parralel to our old testiment very shocking. In fact it apears that our old testiment is only a waterd down left over shred of this lost culters text's.
Any one whose ever wanted to see the "big bang theory" blown out of the water back to were it belongs[in the toilet!], and has never felt the Bible to be the complete story should definatly check his books out for their S-elf=
