For thousands of years, devices have been used to measure and keep track of time. The current sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to approximately 2000 BC, in Sumer. The Ancient Egyptians divided the day into two 12-hour periods, and used large obelisks to track the movement of the Sun. They also developed water clocks, which were probably first used in the Precinct of Amun-Re, and later outside Egypt as well; they were employed frequently by the Ancient Greeks, who called them clepsydrae.
This relief in the British Museum shows the Sumerian God Ninurta (also known by other names) in a Gateway (Stargate, Portal). His father was Enlil and his mother, Ninlil. Ninurta is very clearly using his index finger to push something on the wall. He wears two wrist devices, one used for time travel. The emblem around his neck matches the design of the Knights Templar.

One picture would have sufficed, but I thought I would help. Could be a mini computer. Sun dial. Seems to be astrological of sorts.edit on 21-5-2013 by soulpowertothendegree because: (no reason given)

Those are different deities, and not part of the Anunnaki. Various "alternative ancient mysteries" sites have identified these figures as Anunnaki, human hybrids, and more... but their names are written on the art and they're well known.
In order to understand what the symbols are, you first have to correctly identify the figure and then look at what their symbols are and what symbols are present in that culture --at that specific time. Time-lumping and culture-lumping is as confusing as trying to blend European fairy tales about wolves with Native American legends of Coyote.

If you wonder what it is that the Anunnaki wear on their arms, why didn't you post a pic of an Anunnaki?
Your pics are of Abgal (Sumerian) or Apkallu (Akkadian,) which were the "Seven Sages" of Ancient Sumer. Not a single one represents one of the Anunna gods.

My mistake. I thought all the Summer gods/deities/demigods were Anunnaki.
