The Anunnaki, celestial beings from ancient Mesopotamian traditions, are chronicled in the "Sumerian King List", "Atrahasis Epic", "Enuma Elish", and the "Epic of Gilgamesh" as descending to Earth before human civilization emerged. Their arrival followed a power struggle between Alalu and Anu, a conflict echoed in the Hittite Kumarbi Cycle and global myths. Alalu, exiled to Earth, discovered the planet's gold resources—critical for saving Nibiru's atmosphere. Enki, the Anunnaki scientist, established Eridu as the first city, initiating gold extraction with the labor of the Igigi, the worker gods.

Eventually, the Igigi rebelled, leading Enki and Ninhursag to create humans as a new labor force. These genetically engineered hybrids were designed for obedience and endurance. Myths from various cultures reflect this narrative of creation through divine intervention and genetic fusion. Humanity was not created spiritually but as a technological solution. Enki supported educating the new beings, while Enlil sought to control them through limitations.

As human populations grew and mixed with the gods, Enlil decided to send a global flood to reset Earth's order. Enki, bound by oath, preserved life by guiding Ziusudra to build an ark. This flood story appears in multiple traditions, pointing to a shared historical memory. After the deluge, kingship was "lowered from heaven" and civilization was rebuilt under divine guidance. Cities, temples, and laws were modeled on celestial blueprints, with the "M.E.s" functioning as decrees shaping human development.

The Anunnaki eventually withdrew from direct rule, their influence persisting through priesthoods, mystery schools, and sacred architecture designed to preserve knowledge. Over time, myths replaced direct memory, gods became symbols, and divine science was hidden in allegory. Temples became centers encoding astronomy, calendars, and cosmic order. Human civilization advanced rapidly, not through discovery, but inherited knowledge from the Anunnaki.

Their legacy persists in global mythologies—from the Nephilim and Watchers in Judaic texts to Vedic devas, Egyptian gods, and Mesoamerican sky-beings. Each tradition recalls divine intervention, star-maps, and hybrid bloodlines. Today, their traces remain in sacred architecture, encoded rituals, unexplained technological feats, and symbols of celestial descent. Myth is memory, encrypted in stone and story. The silence post-flood was not the end, but the beginning of forgetting. The question is not if the gods walked Earth, but why modern civilizations no longer see their traces.
