The Fascinating Tale of the Anunnaki — Part 3
Ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts say that the Anunnaki were stellar travelers who came to Earth to mine gold, impart great knowledge, and created Homo sapiens to function as slaves.
In parts 1 and 2 of this three-part series, we learned that about 450,000 years ago (before the Great Flood and during Earth’s Pleistocene ice age) ancient astronauts calling themselves the Anunnaki established their initial base camp in Mesopotamia in the Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
This is part three of a series. Click here to read part 2. If you are all caught up, let’s ponder more about the tale of the Anunnaki. Warning: for many readers, this may be a journey down Alice’s rabbit hole.
After the Great Flood
With floodwaters receding on Earth and the planet of Nibiru moving out of our solar system, the Anunnaki and the handful of surviving humans set about reconstructing the world.
The rise of Sumer in post-flood Mesopotamia
A royal member of the Anunnaki known as Enki was both a scientist and an engineer. As an example of his leadership regarding human development, Enki saw to it that the marshes on the northern shore of the Persian Gulf (Mesopotamia) were drained, dikes were constructed, irrigation systems were dug, and canals connected the Tigris with the Euphrates.
Fauna and flora were brought from planet Nibiru and given to the earthlings as domesticated animals and plants to harvest. In what was to become the Sumerian civilization, knowledge of botany, zoology, geography, mathematics, and theology was imparted in schools. The Anunnaki also taught astronomy, science, architecture, metallurgy, agriculture, and much more.
There were four main kingdoms in ancient Mesopotamia. Sumer was the oldest, followed by the Kingdom of Akkad (begun by Sargon I), then Assyria and Babylonia.
What we now refer to as ‘Religions’ were eventually set up to worship the Anunnaki as gods. Law codes and social reforms were instituted. Kingships were ultimately established to help rule over the primitive people. And the Sumerian language, with precise grammar and rich vocabulary, was simplified from the Anunnaki language.
Mainstream historians now acknowledge that Sumer was the first recorded civilization predating Egypt, Greece, and Rome. For more about the Sumerian civilization, click here.
Marduk and the lands of Egypt
According to the Sumerian texts, Enki’s firstborn son, Marduk, gained sovereignty over the lands of Egypt and became known as Ra. His children, Shu and Tefnut, set an example for future pharaohs by wedding each other. Their offspring, Geb and Nut, also married and were the next royal couple and the parents of some of Egypt’s most famous god-rulers — Osiris, his sister/wife Isis, Seth, and Nephthys (sister of Isis).
The original Anunnaki mission control center at the Sumerian city of Nippur was destroyed during the great flood. It was decided that a new control center would be built at Mount Moriah, translated as “Mount of Directing.” This then became the site of the future holy city of Jerusalem — long considered a most sacred place by all major Western religions.
The Descendants of the Anunnaki
The Homo sapiens — created through careful gene manipulation by the Anunnaki — multiplied greatly. Enhanced hybrids were begotten through the gradual intermarrying of the descendants of Anunnaki and humans. With the ability to procreate, human settlements again quickly reached epic proportions and spanned many continents on Earth.
By this time, the daughters of man were so civilized, beautiful, and sophisticated that the descendants of Anunnaki pursued them. This resulted in offspring with extra intelligence, physical strength, and extraordinary abilities.
These offspring became ancient heroes and men of renown across all cultures. “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.” (Genesis 6:1–4)
The ‘divide and rule’ strategy
The Anunnaki ‘divide-and-rule’ strategy for the scattered human communities required separate leaders. Thus was born the concept of kingship. Human rulers were specially chosen by the Anunnaki, or “gods,” to be intermediaries between themselves and the humans, whom they still considered little better than animals.
The Anunnaki created these kingships (bloodlines) to rule humanity on their behalf and most of the world’s organized religions were established during this post-flood time.
These kingships eventually became prevalent all over the globe The royal families and aristocracy of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are examples. And these are the elite families still in control of the world to this day.
The practice of dynastic kingship based on royal lineage traceable to the gods has been heavily factored into the control of humanity up to the present day. For example, the Rothschilds of today claim kinship to Nimrod.
Eventually, new generations of the Anunnaki lived on Earth. And their descendants became primary players in stories filled with intrigue, conspiracy, power, murder, and outright war pitting brother against brother and sister against sister. These conflicts, rebellions, and wars would eventually involve and consume all of humankind.
Nuclear Wars in our ancient past
Marduk — the firstborn son of Enki — gained sovereignty over the lands of Egypt and became known as Ra. Meanwhile, Enlil (brother to Enki) feared Marduk’s power. And so, he persuaded his father Anu (leader of the Anunnaki) to use seven mighty weapons against Marduk/Ra. Weapons believed to have been equivalent to tactical nuclear missiles.
The final war in Mesopotamia was the Anunnaki’s nuclear Armageddon. Their millennia-old colony of Eden was blown away. The Anunnaki — shocked by what they had wrought — retreated to an enclave in the Sinai, where most of them decided to return to their home planet Nibiru. And in their departure, they abandoned the culprits who had instigated the insurrection against the Anunnaki hierarchy.
Evidence of the possible use of nuclear weapons in the distant past has been found in the Euphrates Valley, the Sahara Desert, the Gobi Desert, the Mojave Desert, Egypt (during the Old and Middle Kingdoms), and south-central Turkey.
An ancient Indian text called the Mahabharata describes how war broke out between the early “Masters” of Harappa, Mohenjo Daro, and Kot Diji. According to the text, flying machines called vimanas — apparently similar to the Anunnaki flying craft — launched a weapon that seemed to be as devastating as an atomic bomb. Although the language differences prohibit an absolute connection to the accounts of the Anunnaki craft and weapons, the similarities are thought-provoking.
Ancient stories fade, and subjugation sets in
After the nuclear destruction of the Mesopotamian cities, the detailed narratives of Sumer and its gods ceased. It would be centuries before civilization and writing flourished in parts of Mesopotamia as the memory of the great cataclysm faded into vague stories of the nightmare.
With the control mechanisms of war, religion, and finance firmly set in place by the Anunnaki, the stage was set for the subjugation of humanity by a handful of powerful ‘blue blood’ dynastic descendants.
An Alternative Storyline for the Anunnaki
Let’s now consider an alternative storyline. Ponder the possibility that the tale of the Anunnaki is a cosmic story of extraterrestrial intelligence that was and is establishing life throughout the universe.
It is written that the Anunnaki came from Nibiru. And the ancient Sumerians believed that Nibiru was indeed a planet, a gate, or a crossing place. This opens the possibility that the Anunnaki were traveling the cosmos through stargates and wormholes.
Worldwide, we find ancient stories imbued with advanced knowledge of the cosmos as well as fascinating tales of extraterrestrial beings coming to Earth and influencing humanity (click here for a related article).
This raises a question. Were there different extraterrestrials coming from the stars and influencing different ancient cultures?
Or is it possible that one race of beings — which the Sumerians called the Anunnaki — influenced all these ancient cultures?
And if so, do the creation stories from around the world pertain to the same race of extraterrestrial beings?
To the narrow-minded skeptics and debunkers, the Anunnaki story seems a fictitious tale of fantasy — like something out of science fiction. But maybe fantasy is actually reality when we consider that so many ancient cultures worldwide — Hindus, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Mayans, and others — all have similar descriptions of these beings coming to Earth from the stars.
Might the similar images and descriptions of gods who descended from the sky to rule on Earth be something of a smoking gun — proof that the Anunnaki were actual beings who came to Earth from elsewhere in the cosmos?
But if so, why has so little evidence of their time on Earth been revealed? Why have they been relegated to myth and fantasy — and virtually forgotten and/or concealed?
