The civilization of ancient Sumer is also known to us as "the land of civilized kings." The abode of a thriving civilization located in present-day Iraq (known as Mesopotamia in ancient times) powerfully established itself around 5000 BC. era. The ancient Sumerians had a very (even too) advanced civilization with their own complex language and writing.
They also possessed, to admiration, a vast knowledge of our solar system, astronomy and mathematics. An extremely developed civilization, and surprisingly, there is practically nothing that could tell about the stages of its development. We still use the same mathematical, time and calendar systems that were created by the Sumerians.
In addition to its advanced language and understanding of the cosmos, Sumerian culture used advanced farming techniques. Like a complex linguistic system, the Sumerians had a religious system with hundreds of gods (protectors), cosmologies, and rituals. According to their mentions, every city of civilization was guarded by its own god.
In those days, humans and gods lived side by side, and although humans seem to be the servants of these gods, they found balance in harmony. Ancient Sumer was not only the home of these gods, but also the home of the Nephilim described in Genesis.
Several clay tablets have been found in ancient Sumerian archaeological excavations, but one of them, in particular, indicates that the Earth is the seventh planet (including Pluto). How could a civilization 6,000 years ago simply know about Pluto's existence? Many are convinced that the Sumerians received this knowledge from the gods who were in fact aliens.
Who were the Sumerian aliens?
The theory of ancient Sumerian aliens goes back to a tablet found in Nippur, which was an ancient city founded in 5000 BC. According to mythology, extraterrestrial beings dominated the Earth.

Powerful beings were recognized by gods and possessed the ability to move across the sky. They willingly engaged in earthly affairs to make the planet habitable and to gather resources. Some say that the Sumerians themselves were here simply to extract resources.
According to the text, Anu (who was the god of the gods) believed that the work on earth was too much. Enki, his son, came up with the idea of creating a man to help with hard work. Having received the approval of the main god, Enki and his sister Ninki began to work together to bring the proposed idea to life.
To create man, according to the Sumerians, God was sacrificed. His body and blood were mixed with "clay" to create the first man like the gods. It is interesting to note that the people in Sumeria believed that man was created in the image of God, and this is very similar to what the Bible says.
The term Anunnaki, which we are already familiar with, refers to the Sumerian gods or extraterrestrial beings. Theories about the Anunnaki of extraterrestrial origin who came from Nibiru are largely attributed to Zechariah Sitchin, and opinions on these theories are conflicting.
The role of the Anunnaki gods in humanity
According to the theory of ancient astronauts, alien beings inhabited this Earth long before humans. In theory, these creatures were left without resources on their planet and came here to get the necessary (in particular, gold) and take them home. As the mining became intense, the gods were forced to create a helper (human) to help with the work.
Interestingly, the first man was created in Eden, which is described as the garden of the gods in the epic of Gilgamesh. It is believed to have been located somewhere between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. The first humans could not reproduce, but then Ninki and Enki modified the creation to make possible the production of offspring.
It is said that this greatly angered Enlil, Enki's brother, and a conflict between the gods began. Believers in this story believe that the conflict is the reason that the Anunnaki left Earth and allowed humans to rule on their own.
The Sumerians were not the first civilization to speak of beings descended from heaven to Earth. Many cultures around the world have similar stories, and often these creatures provide invaluable knowledge to cultures. In fact, these stories do not conflict with religion, in which our gods live in heaven, among the stars.
