Virtually all open-minded historical and theological scholars agree the Old Testament's book of Genesis was extracted from the older Sumerian
records, if only because of the similarity in their Comparative Religions. The Enuma Elish, the Sumerian Epic of Creation, and Genesis have a variety
of common elements. Stories of a Great Flood and Deluge, among other stories, are also common to both Sumerian and Biblical accounts. An inevitable
conclusion is that the Anunnaki were as real as Noah, Moses or Abraham.
The Sumerian records recorded in great detail the stories of the Anunnaki, and among these, that of Enki, Enlil, Ninki, Inanna, Utu, Ningishzida,
Marduk, and many others. Chief among these stories was the continuing conflict between Enki and Enlil, the sons of the supreme god of the time, Anu.
Much of ancient human history, and the Biblical Genesis, can be explained as the militant differences between these two half-brothers, and how they
affected the life of all sentient beings on Earth.
Nephilim is often translated as "giants", a legitimate and appropriate interpretation, but one which may be only partially accurate. A better
definition might be "those who came down", "those who descended", or "those who were cast down." The Anunnaki of ancient Sumerian texts is
similarly defined as "those who from heaven to earth came".
