The Anunnaki

According to the Sumerian records, over four hundred thousand years ago, our planet was visited by a race of Beings from what is now known as the planet Nibiru.

These events were recorded at the very beginning of mankind on the earth. Back to one of the oldest known civilizations, Sumeria. Their civilization predates any other known ancient culture including Babylon, Assyria and Egypt. (According to modern science, however many current scientists are claiming older civilizations in Mesoamerica and the Indus Valley).

Sumeria seems to have sprung suddenly to life about 6 millennia ago and has no known origins other than that which is given in it’s own written records.

Sumeria is credited with many of the Firsts of mankind.

• The "Sumerians" made use of an extensive written language, and a library system. In fact all written languages of the past, Akkadian, Babylonian, Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit and all other ancient Semitic languages, can trace their origins back to Sumeria.
• They had the first known schools.
• They had advanced agricultural techniques utilizing elaborate irrigation systems.
• They had wide use of the wheel and animal drawn wagons.
• They made boats for travel on the rivers and in the sea.
• They made textiles and fine pottery.
• They had an extensive medical practice; in fact the records indicate knowledge and use of surgery including appendectomies and caesarian sections.
• They even had a court system to settle disputes.
• The base 12 number system. (This is the reason most number systems are based on the number 12 - nine known planets + Nibiru + the Moon + Sol, the sun = 12. There are 12 months in a year, 12 in a dozen, 360 degrees in a circle, 24 hours in the day etc. For us it would have been more logical to base our number systems on 10, since we have ten fingers, ten toes.)
• They founded one of the first religions, of which many others are but distorted reflections.

Most extraordinary of all, the Sumerians had advanced knowledge of the planets and the solar system that had not been matched by modern man until recently. The Sumerians knew all about Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. When in fact we (modern man) found Uranus only in 1781, Neptune in 1846, and Pluto in 1930.

In their writings the Sumerians describe the planets of the inner and outer solar system, their relative size to one another and their orbits and the history of their creation. In picto-graphs made by the Sumerians, they clearly depict the total of all the planets including Pluto, Earth and its giant moon, the gas giants and one thing more, a 10th planet, that seems to be missing from the system today.

You can see from this drawing how close their knowledge is to that which we have observed in modern times.  The missing planet that the Sumerians called Nibiru is of special interest.

According to their records the Sumerians claim there was once a watery planet in an orbital plane between Mars and Jupiter. Corresponding to the location of the asteroid belt today. On one of Nibiru’s passes, one of it’s moons collided with Tiamatand split it in two. The smaller of the two pieces was pulverized and became the asteroid belt and the comets and more importantly, the larger piece of Tiamat settled into a new orbit and became the planet Earth. In Hebrew Tiamat was referred to as Rahab.

This may seem a fantastic claim but it cannot be taken lightly in lieu of other evidence that supports it.

The most popular scientific theories of today describe the origin of the asteroid belt with two possible explanations:

1. Matter that failed to become a planet, because of insufficient mass.
2. There was once a planet between Mars and Jupiter and that through some celestial catastrophe was somehow destroyed and the asteroid belt is all that remains.

The Sumerian explanation complements the second theory above and also offers yet another plausible scientific postulation.

Astronomers have long been searching for another planet because the swing and orbit of all the planets in our solar system show that there must be another gravitational influence on them that can only be explained by another and as yet undiscovered planet. Often referred to by modern scientists as Planet "X" (“X” the symbol for unknown and also the roman numeral ten). This knowledge has come to us only in very recent times. More information about Planet "X" is readily available online.

It is worth examining the stories of Sumeria, especially when you consider the unbelievable fact that they knew anything at all about the asteroid belt and other planets 6 millennia ago. This as yet undiscovered planet "X" (at least by modern astronomers) they called Nibiru, the home of their gods.

According to the Sumerians, the planet Nibiru, has a very long elliptical orbit, and passes through our solar system only once every 3,600 years circling our sun in the opposite direction of all the other planets and travels in or near the same plane as where Tiamat was and the asteroid belt is.

Below is a portion of the Babylonian version of the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. This event in the creation of the heavens, they understood as a war between the gods.

The hammered canopy He stretched out in the place of

Tehom, (Tiamat)

The earth suspended in the void,

He penned waters in its denseness,

without any cloud bursting

His powers the powers did arrest,

His energy the Haughty One did cleave

His wind the Hammered bracelet measured out,

His hand the twisting dragon did extinguish.

The other half of her he set up as a screen for the skies,

Locking them together as watchmen he stationed them

He bent Tiamat’s tail to form the great band as a bracelet.

The bracelet joined at both ends is a reference to the asteroid belt. Its location is given as being between the planets Mars and Jupiter. This is also the dividing line between the inner and outer solar system. To the ancients this band was known as the heavens.

The Bible has brief references to this splitting in two of Tiamat (Rahab).

Isiah 51:9 Awake, awake! Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through?

Job 26:12 By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.

The story continues with the cooling of the earth. It says that the place where Tiamat was torn apart healed over and is now the basin of the Pacific Ocean, which explains why the Pacific crust is so much thinner than the Atlantic it also lends credence to the currently accepted scientific theory of Pangaea. According to the Sumerians this collision with the moon of Nibiru caused a seeding of the earth from bits of life that were on the Nibiru moon which would lend credence to a valid scientific theory of Panspermia. Check with modern scientist’s today who are very interested in the fact that asteroids believed to be from Mars have been found in Antarctica, and seem to contain fossilized microscopic life forms. More information on this topic can be easily found online.

The Sumerian account also helps to explain other scientific mysteries.

• Why the Earth is minus a huge part of its crust, specifically where the Pacific Ocean is.
• Why the Earth alone of all the other planets and moons in our solar system has moveable tectonic plates.
• Why the Earth's moon is so extraordinarily outsized relative to the moons of the other planets in our solar system.
• Why the Earth has so much water (A good website on this topic > http://www.darkstar1.co.uk/water.html)
• The accepted scientific theory of Pangaea.

The Sumerians themselves are a scientific mystery. They should have had no technology advanced enough to have discovered these things on their own 6,000 years ago. Galileo supposedly invented the telescope in 1608. They attribute their knowledge to the Anunnaki. The word Anunnaki in Sumerian means "Those who from heaven to earth came".

The Sumerian records state that the Anunnaki came from the planet Nibiru.

After Tiamat was split, the remaining half settled into a new orbit eventually cooling and stabilizing. The Anunnaki are said to have come down and set up a colony called Eridu. In Hebrew Eretz, which is where the name Earth comes from. These people, according to the Sumerians, imparted to them great knowledge about many things including our origins.

For our purposes here it is important to note that the term "Anunnaki" can be used to describe any being from the planet Nibiru, the leaders or commanders of the Anunnaki we will call "Elohim" as titled by the Hebrews.

The primary "cast of characters", in the Sumerian records appear, over an over again in many different mythologies under many different names worldwide. Heretofore thought to be completely different accounts, but in the last several decades scholars now agree they are the same deities, with the same attributes, and there are too many parallels and coincidences of "stories" to ever say the pantheons were different.

Anu, the King of planet Nibiru, Ruler of the Heavens.

Enlil the younger son of Anu, but legitimate heir to the "throne", Lord of Upper Earth.

Enki the elder son of Anu, (also called Ea and Yah, considered by some scholars to be the pre-cursor or original term which was later rendered “Yahweh”).  Enki was the leader of the first expedition to Earth to mine gold, Lord of Lower Earth.

You may also know these three as Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, or Mitra, Varuna and Indra. Or even as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The "Holy Spirit" aspect of the Holy Trinity came about as a result of mistranslation of "Lower Earth" (Enki’s domain), through time and interpretation Lower Earth became the "Underworld". This is not a far fetched assumption, law-breakers were often sentenced to the mines of lower Earth as a punishment, these workers never again saw the light of day and lived by the lights of torches and the fires of the smelting plants (eternal darkness, hell-fire and brimstone etc). The "God" of the Underworld became the collector of spirits and subsequently was considered a spirit himself.

The other Gods and Goddesses were all in some way related to Anu, Enlil and Enki, through blood or by marriage and sometimes by both.

Antu, wife/half-sister of Anu, mother of Enlil.

Ninlil, wife of Enlil.

Ninki, wife of Enki.

Ninhursag(AKA Ninti), daughter of Anu.

Marduk(AKA Ba'al), son of Enki and Ninki.

Nanna(AKA Sin/Yeru/Jeru) son of Enlil and Ninlil.

Ninurta, son of Enlil and his half-sister Ninhursag.

Inanna(AKA Ast/Ashera/Ishtar/Isis/Astoreth/Astarte/Kali/Innin/Ninni) daughter of Nanna and twin sister to Utu. Other more familiar names for her are Venus/Aphrodite.

Utu(AKA Shamash), son of Nanna and twin brother to Inanna.

The ruling “Gods and Goddesses” always numbered twelve. Sometimes the cast of characters change and a new God or Goddess steps up and replaces an older sometimes a God or Goddess is also recorded by one of his/her attributes or names. 

There were also many other Gods and Goddesses.

Bau, wife of Ninurta.

Ningal, wife of Nanna/Sin.

Dumuzi (AKA Tamuz), husband of Inanna and a younger son of Enki.

Ishkur(AKA Adad), a younger son of Enlil and Ninlil.

Erishkigal, sister to Inanna and Utu.

Nergal, younger son of Enki and husband of Erishkigal.

There were also many "Lesser" Gods who were of Earth, no more than local deities, given some lesser operation to run, such as the Goddess Ninkashi, titled "lady-beer".

The Anunnaki, initially led by Enki came to earth, for some sort of mining purpose. There is more than enough archeological evidence to support this notion. According to ancient records it was specifically to mine gold and return it to the home planet to solve some sort of atmospheric problem. After their home planet Nibiru continued on its journey the Elohim left on Earth were cut off from the home planet and essentially on independent operations. Prior to the creation of man there were also wars between the "Gods" for supremacy of the Earth. Some older texts also lead us to believe that the outcome of the wars on Earth would also determine leadership on Nibiru.

All of this information and more can be verified through the histories of the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Hittite, Hindu and Hurrian peoples and the Holy Bible. They have left us the entire story of these events.

An interesting coincidence to ponder is the fact that the Ancient Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Chinese, Hindus, Amer-Indians, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans and even the Celts all have stories of "Celestial Visitors" in one form or another.
