I doubt Annukai was invented by Sitchen alone, and I doubt that Anua means sun god, as An was a god of the heavens or meant the heavens themselves,
and that ki is the sumerian suffix for "from".
Also the sumerian for man is "lu". For example, king is Lugal, which literally means "man" and "big or superior".
Anunaki is a noun used to describe the Babylonian gods of the underworld
it didn't exist in Akkad or Sumer
Sitchin claims they are the gods of heaven when in fact the Gods of heaven were the IGIGI
the Sumerian equivalent of the Babylonian Annunkai were the Anuna
An was the Sumerian sun God, we translate that as Heaven but it really means Sky. The Sumerian concept of heaven was a mountaintop. they had no
concept for outer space at all. There is no plural for heaven in Sumerian. It could never be claimed to be heavens.
Lu does not mean man, it is non gender specific and so means person. NA means "man"
the usage of Ki in babylonian Annunaki does not mean "from". Gu means from. Ki in this usage means "Mesopotamia" as this form of Ki is always
mentioned in reference to a location in that country.
Anu Na Ki therefore does not mean "those who from heaven to earth came" it means "Men/followers of the Sun God An in Mesopotamia". this is a clear
reference to the fact that the Annunaki being cthonic (underworld) deities shouldn't be in mesopotamia at all.
As such they are about the furthest thing you can find in Mesopotamian mythology from Heaven as they are from that other place wooooooh
IGIGI is derived from two words
IGI - eye
GI - Essence of
the essence of the eye
those who watch
