The story of Nibiru is a dead end.
Though I don't believe it's a rough planet more likely associated with a binary star.
IF there was a collision our ancestors could see it would have to be the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter. Which means you have to find excess water

The story of Marduk and mother goddess(god of the firmament which is an amalgamation of Sirius and the sol):
Note in this Assyrian seal related to the story of Marduk. With the star of Sirius and the Pleiades (seven sisters) behind them (Pleiades is never ignored in these stories. Which leaves me the question. WHY?)
Worshipper between Nabu and Marduk, standing on his servant dragon mushkhushshu (head of a dragon (Draco/Ladon) with lion (Leo) body which signifies a time period)

Jordan Peterson Tells The Story Of Marduk. Remember the top god in a firmament is always the dominate star.
https://youtu.be/la6ROCNOGY8 That is pretty much where it ends. True or not I can't do anything to verify Nibiru. I shelve it as an interesting story.
For scientific community to out right reject the story shows me they're clearly not scientist. They're political hacks.
