ANUNNAKI
Sumerian Underworld Deities
Also known as Anunaki, Anunnaku
Babylonian team of Underworld Gods
They are mainly into darkness and death. The name means ‘They Who Came Down To Earth From The Heavens’, which seems appropriate enough for Gods.
Some people claim that Mesopotamian myth is a sign of Extraterrestrial Intervention and that the Anunnaki were really aliens meddling in human affairs. In which case the name should really be translated as ‘They Who Came Down To Earth From The Planet Zog’.
