Arrival of the Anunnaki

Sumerian term: A.NUN.NA.KI (𒀀𒉣𒈾𒆠) — "Those who from heaven to earth came"

Date: Approximately 450,000 BCE

According to Zecharia Sitchin, the Anunnaki arrived on Earth approximately 450,000 years ago. They came from Nibiru, the twelfth planet, in a fleet of spacecraft seeking gold to repair their planet's atmosphere.

The Landing

The first landing site was Eridu, in what is now southern Iraq. The Anunnaki established a base camp and began surveying the planet for resources.

The Leadership

The initial expedition was led by: - Enki — Chief scientist and expedition leader - Enlil — Commander of the mission - Anu — King of Nibiru (who remained in orbit or visited occasionally)

The Purpose

The Anunnaki came to Earth for gold, which they needed to create a reflective shield to protect Nibiru's atmosphere from solar radiation.
