According to ancient texts, what was the primary purpose of the Anunnaki's arrival on Earth?

Hello, I'm glad we can discuss this topic. The story of the Anunnaki is indeed quite fascinating.

According to interpretations of the cuneiform tablets left by the Sumerian civilization, especially the research by scholars like Zecharia Sitchin, the primary purpose of the Anunnaki's arrival on Earth, simply put, was for—gold.

That's right, the gold we know today. But they didn't want gold for jewelry or as currency; rather, it had a much more critical purpose, vital for the survival of their species.

Why Did They Travel So Far for Gold?

Here's the story:

The Anunnaki came from a planet called "Nibiru." According to interpretations, Nibiru has a very unusual, highly elliptical orbit, which causes it to spend long periods far in deep space away from the sun, making its planetary surface extremely cold.

The crucial problem was: Nibiru's atmosphere was failing, steadily dissipating.

You can imagine it like a massive hole in Earth's ozone layer, with cosmic radiation and extreme cold directly threatening life on the planet. To save their home world, Anunnaki scientists devised a "geoengineering"-level solution: spraying ultra-fine gold powder into Nibiru's upper atmosphere. These suspended gold particles could form a protective shield, effectively reflecting sunlight and heat, repairing the atmosphere, and maintaining the planet's temperature.

So, for them, gold was not a luxury but a strategic life-saving resource.

Gold Was Hard to Mine, So They Devised a 'Solution'

Through space exploration, they discovered that Earth in our solar system possessed abundant gold reserves. Consequently, an expedition led by the brothers Enki and Enlil arrived on Earth, established bases in what is now the Persian Gulf region, and began mining gold in Africa and other locations.

Initially, they tasked their common people (known as the "Igigi") with this laborious work. However, mining was extremely arduous, and after a long period, these Anunnaki miners eventually couldn't bear it anymore, revolting and refusing to continue.

Facing a labor shortage, the chief scientist Enki proposed a bold plan: to create a "primitive worker" to replace them in the mines.

They targeted the most evolved hominid on Earth at the time, Homo Erectus. Enki then spearheaded a genetic engineering project:

• Extracted eggs from Homo Erectus.
• Modified and optimized them with the genes of young Anunnaki males.
• Then implanted the fertilized eggs into Anunnaki females' wombs for gestation.

Thus, the first "Adamu" (the prototype for "Adam" in the Bible) was born. This is the origin story in Sumerian mythology where gods created humans in their own image. This newly created species—our human ancestors, Homo Sapiens—was designed to be intelligent enough to understand commands and use tools, yet compliant enough to work as slaves in mines and fields.

To Summarize

So, piecing this narrative together, the Anunnaki's purpose for coming to Earth was:

1. To Save Their Home Planet: Their home world, Nibiru, had a damaged atmosphere, and they urgently needed gold to repair it.
2. To Mine Gold: They discovered Earth had abundant gold reserves and came to extract it.
3. To Create Laborers: Their own people found the work too strenuous and revolted, so they used genetic engineering to modify early hominids on Earth, creating humans to serve as their miners.

So, you see, in this version of the myth, the birth of humanity didn't stem from divine benevolence or some sacred plan, but rather resembled a "bioengineering project" aimed at solving an alien civilization's technological and labor problems. Isn't this interpretation quite revolutionary and full of sci-fi flair? Yet, this is indeed the main narrative interpreted from those ancient Sumerian tablets.
