Clay tablets from Ancient Sumer in cuneiform script tell the tale of the Annunaki
In the previous installments of “Anunnaki and Nibiru: The Origins of Civilization?“, we discussed how there is a widely believed theory that humanity, in it’s current form, was created by a race of beings from the planet Nibiru, known as the Anunnaki. The story of this creation has been repeated in popular culture, most notably in the film Stargate, and from a writer’s perspective, it’s well written and makes sense, but where’s the proof? Where did people like Zecharia Sitchin get their ideas? Well, they got them from a lot of places, most notably they got their physical evidence from the ruins and artifacts of Mesopotamian, Sumerian and other cultures, while their evidence in the form of documentation was taken from religious texts the world over, including, the Bible.
The “religious” or “mythical” texts that have been found tell incredible stories but the academics will debate their true meaning for eons to come. A lot of physical proof that the Anunnaki existed is the same proof that many point to whenever the subject of “ancient aliens” is brought up. Structures like the great pyramids of Giza, stonehenge, South American ruins and the statues on Easter island are immediately brought up. These constructions have such complex designs and scope that it seems like primitive man just didn’t have to technology or engineering know-how to create them. In particular, the depictions of the “gods” on Easter island, with their large, oblong heads, leads many to believe that these were actually statues of the Anunnaki. There’s also “proof” of Anunnaki existence and influence in Sumerian and Mesopotamian etchings, which depict creatures that look not-quite human and seem to insinuate that they are from the stars. Other etchings show the “gods” creating man in what appears to be a primitive laboratory, lending further credence to the idea that Sumerians knew they were created by the Anunnaki. Even more “proof” can be found in the layouts of the civilizations themselves, which were again, far larger and more complex than it’s believed humans, still in their infancy as a species, could have created. The civilizations were also laid out in patterns similar to celestial bodies, a fact that has led many to believe that they were a laid out that way as markers and guidance mechanisms for visitors from above. Further evidence of Anunnaki presence can be found in Egyptian wall etchings that seem to show light bulbs, other technologies, as well as some understanding of the double-helix structure of human DNA.
God with the "tree of life" = genetically engineering our DNA?
Physical “proof” that Anunnaki had significant influence over early humans seems to be in abundance, but the proof that lies withing the written word seems to be even more convincing. It is widely believed that the “Nephilim” (giants) referred to in the bible, are actually the Anunnaki. Of particular interests to Zecharia Stichin was that stories of Nephilim (“the sons of god”) mating with human women (“the daughters of men”); stories which he sites as his proof that even the Bible admits to the existence and crossbreeding of the Anunnaki. This extends into another idea brought forth by believers that any reference in the Bible to Angels, is actually referring to Anunnaki. Furthmore, theorists point out that Sumerian lore refers to their gods as Anunnaki, and draw the simple conclusion that all of their stories about their gods are literal. Therefore, these are not religious texts rife with metaphor, but are historical accounts of the Anunnaki’s interactions with man.

Knowing the story of the Anunnaki and their believers, you have to ask yourself: Did we humans evolve on our own? Or did we have help from above? Is the evidence just liberal interpretations of ancient artifacts and texts? Or has the truth been staring us in the face for centuries? No one knows really, but it’s all possible. So next time you get that feeling we all get sometimes that you’re different, that “alien” feeling, just think: maybe you are.
