Dark5 | Ancient Extraterrestrial Artifacts: 5 Unexplained Artifacts of the "Sky People" @dark5tv | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
Amidst the vast deserts of Mesopotamia, from where some of the earliest civilizations sprung, arises a tale that transcends cultures and millennia: the Anunnaki. These enigmatic beings, recorded in ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian texts, are at the heart of a debate. To some, they are the legendary forebears of human civilization; to others, extraterrestrial visitors. But who were the Anunnaki, and how have they become embroiled in theories of alien astronauts?
The Sumerians, thriving between 4500 and 2000 BC in what is now modern-day Iraq, are credited with many firsts in human civilization – from writing to advanced astronomy. Their cuneiform script, etched onto clay tablets, has provided historians a window into their beliefs, daily lives, and cosmic understanding, and they were the first to describe the Anunnaki.
These deities, often mentioned in various texts, were believed to be descendants of the sky god An and his consort, Ki. Collectively, they formed part of the hierarchy of gods responsible for creating humans and overseeing the cosmos. Figures like Enki, Enlil, and Inanna stood at the forefront, each possessing distinct domains and tales of their interactions with humans.
For instance, Enki was the god of water and wisdom. He was often depicted as a beneficial figure, providing humanity with knowledge. In contrast, Enlil, the god of air and storms, sometimes had more tumultuous relations with humans, as seen in myths where he attempts to wipe out humanity with a deluge.
The intriguing dimension to the Anunnaki narrative arises from modern interpretations, primarily propelled by authors like Zecharia Sitchin. In his works, such as "The 12th Planet," Sitchin posited that the Anunnaki were not just mythical gods but were, in fact, extraterrestrial visitors. Based on his interpretations of Sumerian texts and Mesopotamian iconography, he claimed these beings hailed from a distant planet named Nibiru.
Sitchin’s theories propose that these extraterrestrial Anunnaki visited Earth in search of gold and other resources. They then created humans through genetic manipulation to serve as laborers in their mining operations. While these ideas are fascinating and have gained a following, they are not accepted by mainstream scholars and archaeologists, who typically view Sitchin's interpretations as speculative at best...
