The alien Anunnaki fable was created and promoted mainly by jewish Immanuel Velikovsky and Zecharia Sitchin.
Both of these authors were Zionists, heavily involved in the project of occupying Palestine. They were promoted and supported by other jewish publications and authors. Their work was not a one man operation!!! Velikovsky had teams working for him. Their lies are convincing lies because a lot of effort have gone into creating them, carefully crafting them and marketing them.
Unfortunately I do not have a translation of this book by Sayyid Al-Qemany Traditions About the Tribe of Israel in which he painstakingly dismantles the lies of Velikovsky. He reaches the conclusions that Velikovsky did not just make a mistake in judgement but that he deliberately lied and misled and that he could only do it if had a team working for him. Sayyid Al-Qemany was an atheist BTW and not a muslim and had nothing against the jews.
I can see how a lot of people here fall for "It's the Aliens/Anunnaki/Reptilians whatever". always taking to heart jewish fables of the torah as if it was proof of real history, not realizing how they are being misled by jewish israelis deliberately.
Annunaki "gods" are part of shumerian myths. Everything else is just a speculations.
As with any other speculations they could be used by enemy to create false narratives or whatever.
If some Jewish story tellers think out something about Annunaki, that does not make shumerian myths non-existent.
There are tons of such things around, when some tiny and obscure thing in some ancient folklore inflated to enormous scale for money, attention or whatever. Of course without any solid proofs behind.
This is new folklore, nothing more.
And as with folklore or fairy tales, people use references in describing real life. You often use references to characters in movies, books, comics, fairy tales and folklore to describe reality.
Same with all that annunaki/reptiloids/whatever - they are part of folklore/literature, whoever wrote it. If you see something like that in real life, it is completely valid to make a reference.
Hardly many of us referring to, say, Soros and naming him reptiloid mean he is literally a reptile looking alien. It is a reference. With the same probability you would have referenced him as goblin, ifrit, koschey, daemon, supervillain, depending on your legacy and cultural background.
That does not mean that you have to take folklore as truth, it just exists, like it or not. That annunaki/reptiloids folklore/literature exists, Even if it is all made up and false, it is still a source of references.
That's the thing, innit? Anunnaki shit is 90% made up shit by Sitchin.
If you read ACTUAL Sumerian, Babylonian and Akkadian scholars and their DIRECT clay tablet translations, you will find something completely different.
The stories are real, then there a tons of different translations about them, with Sitchin being the worst and his readers confusing his fictional books (which he himself says are purely fictional) with his so called "translations".
Almost all of the Anunnaki lore comes from Sitchin, not from the tablets.
And to me, they are not mythology.
So, the lore exists and it is relatively known for whatever reason. How is that different from comics superheroes/supervillains or heroes/villains of fantasy books/movies? They are completely fictional too with tiny tie to actual legends and myths.
How do you know, if the only source of any knowledge about Annunaki is a stories written on clay tablets?
