The Anunnaki 2012
I’m sure that an argument, flame war, and name-throwing contest is going to start due to this article. I’ve seen how religiously Anunnaki believers hold on to their false theories of the Anunnaki on the internet. However, being that Sumerian and West Asian spirituality is, and has been for the past decade, the foundation for my modern metaphysical beliefs, I felt it was necessary to try and add some counterweight to the awful Anunnaki beliefs which tend to permeate the internet boards.
The goal of this thread is simple: offer a place for those with a true interest in Sumeriology, Assyriology, and Mesopotamian mythology, spirituality, religious, and cultural interest to begin their undertaking. To do this, we have to cut through the massive mess of misinformation concerning this amazing culture and their beliefs. I’ll consider my efforts a success if I can help even one honestly interested individual do this.
As an opener, I would like to present this wonderful video:
The above video is a twenty-one minute debunking video, centered around the History Channel show, “Ancient Aliens.” While I hope that “Ancient Aliens” is not taken seriously (as it is atrociously biased, and rampant with false information), I find the narrators presentation of evidence to be the best quick summary of the false information circulating about the Anunnaki.
The Anunnaki
The documentary covers a variety of topics including the definition of the terms “Anunna” and “Anunnaki,” the erroneous claims of Zecharia Sitchin’s fantasy works concerning Nibiru and the gold-mining Anunnaki, the Apkallu and Lamassu statues and carvings commonly, falsely, depicted as the Anunnaki, and more. For those with more viewing time available (3 hours roughly) the entire video, with better audio, is also available here:
Nearly all of the ancient astronaut theory, as covered by “Ancient Aliens” is expounded, explained, and corrected with in-depth analysis. Likewise, the companion website, located here, offers an in-depth explanation of the sources used during the debunking documentary.
Finally, there is also this website which features an exhaustive, in-depth, and continuing debunking of the works of Zecharia Sitchin, who is responsible for all of the misinformation, mistranslation, and blatant lies circulating about the Anunnaki which have been picked up by ancient astronauts, David Icke, and other New Age metaphysics and philosophies.
I know that I have just dropped a massive amount of viewing and reading for a simple blog post, and I know that many people won’t actually pay attention, as they’re quite content to believe that the Anunnaki are space aliens from the planet Nibiru who genetically engineered human beings to mine gold for them… but I just wanted a thread with actual, honest, historical information concerning such a deep, rich, and interesting mythological cycle available for reference in future internet searches.

Good luck in uncovering the reality of the Anunnaki
