Exploring The Anunnaki Myth

By James Donahue

The Anunnaki myth is a story about a race of beings that came to Earth and taught humans how to build and manufacture things. Some believe there may have been some inbreeding or experimentation with human DNA. The mythology is ancient, dating back to ancient Sumerian writings in stone. The stories persist, thanks to contemporary authors like Zecharia Sitchen and Barbara Hand Clow.

The contemporary stories may have had their origins in the 1840s when astronomers John Adams and Urbain Le Vernier published papers theorizing that certain gravitational actions within the solar system pointed to the possible existence of an unknown planet.

That Pluto and Triton, the planet-sized moon around Neptune, were discovered soon after this did not seem to satisfy the mystery planet buffs. Percival Lowell, the man best remembered for his declaration that he found canals on Mars, was first to produce the name “Planet X.”

It may be of interest to note that astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana are saying that they have evidence that may soon prove the existence of another very large planet, located far beyond Pluto, that is circling our solar system. They have even named this star, which they believe will turn out to be a gas giant. The name is Tyche.

So if it is a gas giant like Jupiter, and exists that far away from the Sun, can such a planet support life? Certainly it would not be life as we know it.

Sitchen called it the Twelfth Planet in his book. Sitchen not only supports the concept of a mystery planet that circles our sun every 3,600 years, he names it Nibiru and claimed it is inhabited by an advanced race of beings he calls the Anunnaki.

Sitchen drew stories from the Old Testament and ancient Sumerian writings about “giants” that came to earth to support his case. His story is that the Anunnaki came to earth to create and then enslave the human race because they wanted workers to mine gold.

“I learned to read the cuneiform Sumerian texts and came upon their persistent and repeated statements that those beings, who the Sumerians called Anunnaki, came to earth from a planet called Nibiru,” Sitchen said. “The planet was designated by the sign of the cross and Nibiru meant planet of crossing.”

He said he drew heavily from the Mesopotamian Epic of Creation, from which the first chapters of Genesis are drawn. In this text, Sitchen said he found “all details about the Anunnaki, who they were and who their leaders were and how they traveled from their planet to earth.” He said they splashed down in the Persian Gulf on their first visit.

In her book, The Pleiadian Agenda, Clow delivers what she calls messages from various other alien races to the people of Earth. The book describes the Anunnaki as an alien race that has successfully controlled the consciousness of the human race and continues to do so. During a co-habitation that lasted for thousands of years, “the Anunnaki used earthlings for workers and sexual services while gradually altering their DNA,” she writes.

Drunvalo Melchizedek, in his compelling two-volume book The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, claims to have been given information from an entity he calls Thoth that describes an invasion of Earth by alien forces that are still among us, controlling and enslaving the human race to this day.

The Melchizedek story is supported by various other channelers and “seers,” including The Abba Father, an entity that communicates through my wife, Doris. The story suggests that the humans on Earth are presently in the process of waking up and turning against the aliens that have enslaved them and forced them to labor for their wealth for thousands of years.

Current political events suggest that a world-wide rebellion against the kings and rulers has, indeed, begun.

There are more very old references to this contact by alien forces.

Among the very ancient books can be found the Book of Enoch, from which the Genesis story of the pre-flood invasion by “the sons of heaven” that descended upon earth and begot children from the women. These children turned out to be “giants” that overpowered the people, consumed all of the food, and in the end, burned upon the humans.

Interesting details in the Book of Enoch reveal that there were but 200 angels in that group, all of them led by an individual named Samyaza. The children, according to a Greek text, were known as the Naphelim.

During the occupation, according to the text, angelic beings set about teaching humans sorcery, divination of roots, astrology, metallurgy, “the fabrication of mirrors and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered.”

The ancient book, Epic of Gilgamesh, describes Gilgamesh as two-thirds god and one-third human, a super-human king who oppressed the people. It is interesting that a “sky-god” named Anu came to the people’s defense by creating a beast, Enkidu, that became a rival to Gilgamesh. Also, Gilgamesh built a great city named Uruk. The similarities between this and the ancient city of Ur, in Iraq, are unmistakable.

These are but a few of the stories about an invading force of powerful beings that dropped down out the sky to earth many thousands of years ago, and changed life for the human race forever.

Are they not all stories derived from conscious and subconscious memories of the same event . . . the manipulation of the DNA of humanoid primates by an advanced civilization that turned apes into humans.

That Gilgamesh is described as part-human and part-god, and that he was a “super-human” ruler over the others, suggests that this was a myth about the Adam Kodman of human origins.

The story in the Book of Enoch, that the Naphelim taught humans how to work metals, make jewelry, do magical incantations and divine for things in the ground suggests that once the DNA was implanted, the humans had to be taught to go beyond the basics of animal survival and develop their brains for more complex tasks.

Thus it was that Gilgamesh could build a city and rule over the other humans that followed him.

That the myth includes a return of the aliens every 3,600 years suggests that either the aliens made return visits to Earth, or that there was a promise of a return at some distant point in the future.

Sitchen notes in his writings that Mesopotamian art includes a cylinder seal, found at Nippur, depicting plowmen in a field, looking up into the sky with awe at something shaped like a cross. He suggests that the cross is symbolic for the 12^th planet. Could it be the shape of the alien craft that once visited?

How ironic that this ancient, sacred symbol now engrained so deeply into the false cult of Christianity, was remembered since our origins as the mark of an ancient race once thought of as gods by the ancients.
