Ancient aliens is not "UFO stuff" it is a discussion of whether man has been visited by ancient astronauts.

The Anunnaki depiction is a fictitious work of Zecharia Sitchin. His 'translations' of Sumerian texts were completely inaccurate and twisted in order to create the story he wanted to create. I think the "Criticisms" section on his wikipedia page says it better than I can.

When Sitchin wrote his books only specialists could read the Sumerian language, but sources such as the 2006 book Sumerian Lexicon[19] have made the language more accessible to non-experts. Ancient language scholar Michael S. Heiser[20] states that he has found many inaccuracies in Sitchin's translations and challenges interested parties to use this book to check their validity.[15][21] Prof. Ronald H. Fritze,[22] author of the book Invented Knowledge: False History, Fake Science and Pseudo-religions,[22] mentions the example of Sitchin's claim that the Sumerian sign Din-Gir means "pure ones of the blazing rockets", adding that "Sitchin's assignment of meanings to ancient words is tendentious and frequently strained."[23] Fritze also commented on Sitchin's methodology, writing that "When critics have checked Sitchin's references, they have found that he frequently quotes out of context or truncates his quotes in a way that distorts evidence in order to prove his contentions. Evidence is presented selectively and contradictory evidence is ignored."[23]

Sitchin bases his arguments on his personal interpretations of pre-Nubian and Sumerian texts, and the seal VA 243. Sitchin wrote that these ancient civilizations knew of a twelfth planet, when in fact they only knew five.[24] Hundreds of Sumerian astronomical seals and calendars have been decoded and recorded, and the total count of planets on each seal has been five. Seal VA 243 has 12 dots that Sitchin identifies as planets. When translated, seal VA 243 reads "You're his Servant" which is now thought to be a message from a nobleman to a servant. According to semitologist Michael S. Heiser, the so-called sun on Seal VA 243 is not the Sumerian symbol for the sun but is a star, and the dots are also stars.[24][25] The symbol on seal VA 243 has no resemblance to the hundreds of documented Sumerian sun symbols.

In a 1979 review of The Twelfth Planet, Roger W. Wescott,[26] Prof. of Anthropology and Linguistics at Drew University, Madison, New Jersey, noted Sitchin's amateurishness with respect to the primacy of the Sumerian language:

Sitchin's linguistics seems at least as amateurish as his anthropology, biology, and astronomy. On p. 370, for example, he maintains that "all the ancient languages . . . including early Chinese . . . stemmed from one primeval source -- Sumerian". Sumerian, of course, is the virtual archetype of what linguistic taxonomists call a language-isolate, meaning a language that does not fall into any of the well-known language-families or exhibit clear cognation with any known language. Even if Sitchin is referring to written rather than to spoken language, it is unlikely that his contention can be persuasively defended, since Sumerian ideograms were preceded by the Azilian and Tartarian signaries of Europe as well as by a variety of script-like notational systems between the Nile and Indus rivers.[27]

To categorically define the knowledge and writings about the Anunnaki to just one man, Sitchin, is very disingenuous.

There are many other translations of the Sumerian texts other than Sitchin's that are completely relevant.

So to discredit the entire concept of the Anunnaki on one man's depiction, is simply ridiculous.

Can you show me these?

The whole concept is simply ridiculous.


Yeah. No problem. About 2000 years before Sitchin:

en.wikipedia.org...

Nephilim = Anunnaki




So now we are taking the bible as something literal? I do not see any translations of Sumerian texts there like I asked.

Do you believe in talking snakes as well?

Do you also think it is possible that Sitchin used this as part of his biased mistranslations?

Hear hear! I too heard of the Annunaki Gods long before I heard of Stichen. He just brought it all into perspective for me, much like Erich von Daniken did. In recent years, there have been many speculative writings about Planet X, which is also known as Planet Nibiru. Most of these writings are based somewhat on Zecharia Sitchin’s book, The Twelfth Planet. Sitchin, like Velikovsky and Darwin, used his respective theories to support his claims. A question arises: Is Nibiru real? The answer to that is a resounding Yes, it does. The early people named Planet X as Nibiru in Sumerian, and Marduk in Babylonian. It has been said that the ancient Mesopotamians believed that Nibiru was the twelfth planet in our solar system and that it was "heaven" where their Gods resided and came from. The words "Annunaki," and "Nibiru" are Sumerian words, not Annunaki words. Nibiru was populated by a Reptilian super race and governed by elite aristocracy known as the "Nefilim" in Hebrew, which means "they who have come down from the Heavens to Earth". The Anunnaki were one of the many technologically advanced alien races at the time. In fact, their civilization was advanced far beyond most others of their time. The Anunnaki called their home star (Sun) "ZAOS". The Anunnaki are a belligerent and conquering race. They are fierce, evil, lustful, incestuous, bloodthirsty, deceitful, jealous and domineering. They are also carnivorous and are often cannibalistic. They also demand human sacrifices of virgins from those they conquer and from their own kind whom they enslave. If you imagine the worst characteristics you can conceive in Satan, you have well concocted an impression of the Anunnaki.

As for the Annunaki, the stone relief's pretty much speak for themselves.





Sumerian Information of the Annunaki (Sumerian equal to the Genesis Anakim) Erech was founded before 4,000 B.C.

Ancient Aliens – the Annunaki

Will they return? I think yes, they may already be close by. Will they attempt to enslave Earth? Or will this be a Rescue mission instead?
Only time will tell.
