Anunnaki TimelineZecharia Sitchin spent several decades researching, translating and interpreting ancient Mesopotamian (Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian) texts and tablets spanning thousands of years before the first book of the Bible was ever written. He determined that the Anunnaki were instrumental in the creation of modern man some 300,000 to 250,000 years ago, and were thereafter extensively involved in mankind’s history during the pre-Christian eras. His sources include, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atra-hasis Epic, the Erra Epic, and the Enûma Eliš to name a few. Portions of the Book of Genesis, as just one example, can best be interpreted in a consistent manner by incorporating the ancient Sumerian description of the Anunnaki.
