Anunnaki - The Alien Creator Race That Still Controls Us •

They may have lived thousands of years before us, but the ancient Sumerians left behind a treasure trove of their existence, from towering ziggurats to stone tablets containing their cuneiform writing system. This civilization has proven itself to have once walked the Earth, even if they did disappear entirely from history.

We also know that the Sumerians had a unique collection of mythologies – ones that, for many, contain clues of an extraterrestrial race.

In this article, we’re taking a deep dive into the Anunnaki – an alien race inextricably linked with the ancient Sumerian civilization of Mesopotamia. For many, these extraterrestrial beings not only masqueraded as gods but are also the reason why human DNA contains genetic material that isn’t of this world.

Creation Myths Around The World

The origin of the universe has long been a source of fascination for us. Science tells us that before there were celestial beings and living organisms, there was a big bang or an explosion of such a massive scale, that it ended up creating the world as we know it.

Christianity, on the other hand, says that the world was created in seven days by a benevolent God, who ordered things into existence and breathed life into creatures – including, us humans.

But these aren’t the only creation myths that people have believed in.

For instance, the ancient Tagalogs of the Philippines claim that the universe was created when three fearsome deities challenged each other for supremacy. For three days and three nights, they hurled rocks and whatever they could at each other. Once this was over, a tree sprouted from the grave of the slain God, and from it, the world was born.

Meanwhile, the Japanese creation myth starts with chaos. In this story, a shapeless chunk of matter suddenly saw movement, which led to the creation of the “Takamagahara” or the “High Plain of Heaven.” From this came five gods and eventually, the rest of the universe.

There are a ton of creation myths, each one bearing its own set of unique deities and fantastical circumstances. As beautiful and as interesting as they are, many of us believe that these are mere stories – legends and folktales that our grandparents read to us when we were young.

But for our ancient forefathers, these creation myths were more than just stories. For them, these held undeniable truths and secrets of the universe. Not only did such tales allow them to understand the world that they lived in, but they also enabled them to gain more insight into their identities.

And, perhaps no other creation myth embodies this more than the one told by the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia.

The Sumerians of Ancient Mesopotamia

Before dissecting the Sumerian creation myth and how it relates to us, modern-day humans, it’s first important to understand who these people were.

According to archaeologists, the ancient Sumerian civilization was a series of city-states built during the fourth millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia, a region that is now known as the present-day countries of Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey, and Syria.

Thanks to the Tigris-Euphrates river system, their communities enjoyed incredibly fertile lands that made farming and harvesting crops easy. The sheer amount of resources that the region provided them with eventually allowed the Sumerians to dominate the ancient world.

Uruk, one of its city-states, even became a thriving trading hub. At one point, it was the largest city in the entire world, boasting of a population of at least 40,000, as well as defensive walls and fortifications that ran for over six miles.

Although the Sumerians lived thousands of years ago, much is known about their civilization and distinct way of life. Archaeological evidence unearthed throughout the years reveals plenty about these people.

For instance, they kept meticulous records, using a writing system called “cuneiform” that consisted of wedge-like symbols carved on stone tablets.

This civilization is also known for its elaborate architecture, which encompasses breathtaking mosaics, towering brick columns, grandiose palaces, and pyramid-like stepped temples referred to as “ziggurats.”

There are many interesting things about the Sumerian way of life, and our endless fascination with this ancient civilization has only been exacerbated by the mountains of archaeological evidence that they left behind for us to discover.

But arguably one of the most fascinating aspects of ancient Sumerian civilization was the religion that they practiced. Their anthropomorphic polytheism faith led to each city-state worshiping their own deities. There was a core pantheon, though, which consisted of “An” or “Heaven,” as well as “Utu the Sun-God” and “Sin the Moon-God,” among others.

These figures are featured heavily in the Sumerian creation myth, where they’re portrayed as both rulers and friends of humans. This story was found on a stone tablet that had been dug up from the ancient Mesopotamian city of Nippur, which today lies in southwestern Iraq.

This important discovery led archaeologists to claim that Nippur played a critical role in the religious lives of the ancient Sumerians. More than that, though, they believed that it was in this city where the world’s first man was made, crafted by “Enlil the Storm-God” who resided there.

This is undoubtedly the reason why the Sumerian creation myth was found buried in this city. Painstakingly carved in cuneiform, the story begins like this,

“When in the height heaven was not named / And, the earth beneath did not yet bear a name / And, the primeval Apsu who begat them / And, chaos, Tiamut, the mother of them both / Their waters mingled together, / And, no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen; / When of the gods none had been called into being, / And, none bore a name, and no destinies were ordained; / Then were created the gods in the midst of heaven / Lahmu and Lahamu were called into being.”

The myth goes on to claim that the gods came to earth to transform the once-uninhabitable place into a paradise. Toiling day and night, it mined its minerals and gathered its resources, working like human beings instead of the divine deities that they were.

When it became too much for them to bear, they hatched a plan together that involved creating man to do the labor for them. To do this, they were forced to put a god to death before mixing his blood to form the first-ever human being, whom they shaped in their likeness.

Interestingly enough, the first man was said to have been created in Eden, a place that means “flat terrain” in the Sumerian language. Not only is this familiar with those who have read the Christian Bible, but it can also be seen in the Epic of Gilgamesh, which came from ancient Mesopotamia and is widely regarded as the world’s oldest written story.

However, this creation myth wasn’t the only thing that the cuneiform tablets revealed. Rather, they also told peculiar stories of how the gods ended up engaging with the human beings that they initially sought out to subjugate. Not only were they forced to carry out backbreaking labor on behalf of the divine deities, but they were also made to strictly abide by the rules that had been set out for them.

The Anunnaki Alien Race

The stone tablets allegedly called these gods the “Anunnaki”, which means “those who came from the heavens”. Many claim that they were nothing more than myths – akin to Zeus, Osiris, and the rest of the deities that the ancient world worshiped.

But others believe differently. For them, the Anunnaki were actual, tangible beings, who came from the mysterious and faraway “Planet X” or “Nibiru” – a celestial body that passed Earth millennials ago. Its residents traveled to our world for what was initially a quick visit but ultimately ended up staying after witnessing the vast resources that we had.

In addition to this, they were also enticed by the idea of subjugating the human race, becoming their masters, and forcing them to mine gold, among other things. Once they were satisfied, they released their slaves and returned to Nibiru, never to be heard from again.

According to an article published by Wonderopolis,

“Some even go so far as to say the Anunnaki were a species of reptilian humanoids. They believe these reptiles helped the Sumerians develop their systems of writing and mathematics. Further, they think the reptiles are still around today and wield power in the human world.”

But rather than slavers and masters, the Anunnaki race was held by the Sumerians to be their gods; more specifically, as the children of the Earth and Sky, who deserved to be worshiped, venerated, and praised. This ancient civilization believed that the knowledge and wisdom bestowed to them by these otherworldly creatures were worth the grueling forced labor that they were made to carry out.

These beliefs were passed down to the Akkadians, the Babylonians, and the Assyrians, all of whom had absorbed the remaining Sumerians, whose way of life had deteriorated over the years.

This influence has long been perceived as the reason why the Assyrians held supernatural and mystical forces in high regard. For instance, the gates of their cities were adorned with statues of “genii,” who purportedly protected all those within the walls. Their images show them as winged creatures with beards and pine cones, from which blessings – in the form of water – flowed out.

The Assyrians were also staunch believers in omens and often employed diviners to communicate with their gods. These individuals would read the bumps and grooves on a sheep’s liver, which they claimed were actually divine messages.

It was the same story in ancient Babylon, who also worshiped the original Sumerian core deities. Many claim that these gods were actually the Anunnaki, mainly because of how this alien race takes its name from the main Mesopotamian deity, “Anu the Sky God.”

These are just several of the many compelling arguments that researchers have made over the years to support the idea that the ancient Sumerian gods were actually extraterrestrial beings in disguise.

However, other researchers further claim that rather than chancing upon human beings on Earth, the Anunnaki created our race for the sole purpose of mining the planet’s resources for them. Once this goal was achieved and man had finished serving its purpose, they were left behind to die off.

Only, they didn’t. Instead, they became the ancient Sumerians, whose alien knowledge eventually gave rise to the mathematics, writing system, and architecture that their civilization has since become known for.

Humans – The Slave Race of the Anunnaki

There’s another side to this theory, though. The Anunnaki race is also believed to have gone one step further, genetically engineering the entire human race for the sole purpose of serving as their slave species.

Known as the ancient astronaut hypothesis, this claims that extraterrestrial beings have been posing as gods or divine beings to influence humans, like how the Anunnaki passed themselves off as “sky gods,” when giving the ancient Sumerians the building blocks of their scientific knowledge.

This idea is undoubtedly compelling, but it would also explain why there are certain weak and unexplainable gaps in the theory of evolution.

Additionally, this also paved the way for the theory that human DNA actually contains traces of alien compounds.

After all, when the Anunnaki created man, the only genetic material that they had access to were the ones they had themselves.

While this is the most popular theory regarding the Anunnaki race, other researchers have drawn their own conclusions from careful analysis of ancient Sumerian mythologies and folklore, as well as translations of the cuneiform tablets that were unearthed from the Mesopotamian city-state of Nippur.

For instance, some claim that the other unexplainable structures seen on our planet are actually products of Anunnaki engineering and architecture. Rather than attribute all the mysterious pyramids around the world to ancient civilizations, they instead credit the alien race.

This argument is corroborated by allegations that artifacts and tools unearthed on these sites seemed out-of-place and definitely not of this world.

Another theory about the Anunnaki is that they didn’t leave planet Earth after obtaining all the gold and resources that they wanted. Rather, many people believe that this alien race continues to manipulate and influence humanity and its various sectors, from politics to corporate and finance.

This means that our race is being exploited by a species not of this world, who also feeds off the collective fear that we experience whenever hearing news reports of natural disasters, calamities, and scandals.

Because of this, we should reject mainstream media and entertainment, which he believes are being distorted by the Anunnaki to make us feel more terrified and anxious, in the hopes that this will lull us into a hypnotic, more malleable state.

Many share these beliefs. For them, the Anunnaki aren’t completely gone from this world. Rather, they continue controlling us, playing with our fates, and subjecting us to their every whim.

Conclusion

The Anunnaki race is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating mysteries of our universe. They may seem far-fetched and even ridiculous to some; however, they shouldn’t be completely dismissed.

After all, ancient history is littered with breadcrumbs of their existence – from the strange mythologies of the Sumerians to the winged and bearded angels of the Assyrians. In time, these breadcrumbs may lead us to a more conclusive answer about these strange, alien beings.
