Well that is supposing one takes Sitchin's work as fact... I have read all his books and he has some quite fantastical ideas. I don't agree with alot of his assumptions or beliefs. I am just now starting on a new book by Cremo called Forbidden Archeaology, also dealing with Sumerian civilization.
As far as uncontested translations... They do not exist. There are disagreements in every camp of specialists who deal in translating dead languages. And as it is with all things in life, you have to pick the side you are most comfortable with.
Me? I am more willing to believe in the possiblity of the impossible happening than others might. Logic can only go so far, just as imagination can go TOO far. Find that middle ground though and we might be closer to the truth than we think.
I mean face it, until 1930 we didn't know about Pluto, let alone Eris spotted in 2003. Yet the Sumerians, in whatever scientific means they had, depicted a solar system that seems accurate to this centuries understanding of it. That is all I find mind boggling.
As far as Pluto having once been a moon and in a different location I don't really put much stock into that. Nor do I this 12th planet that moves in every few millenia. Unfortunately we will never know the answers, but it is fun to speculate.
