We’re going all the way back to ancient Sumer, where some of the oldest written stories on Earth introduce us to the Anunnaki — powerful gods tied to creation, civilization, labor, floods, and humanity’s place in the universe.But thousands of years later, those same stories got a very different remix. According to ancient astronaut theories, the Anunnaki weren’t gods at all. They were extraterrestrials from Nibiru who came to Earth for gold, genetically engineered humans as a workforce, and left behind myths that may actually be ancient history.So we’re digging into the original Sumerian texts, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atrahasis flood story, Enki and Enlil, Zecharia Sitchin’s controversial interpretation, Planet Nine, the Nephilim, human evolution, and why this theory still has such a grip on people.Were the Anunnaki ancient gods? Alien visitors? A mistranslated mythology? Or just one of the greatest stories humanity ever told?Videos:The Why Files: Annunaki | Gods from Planet Nibiru and the Makers of ManWorld of Antiquity: Who REALLY were the Anunnaki?
