Departure of the Gods¶
Sumerian term: DINGIR (π) β "God/Divine being"
Date: After 2024 BCE
After the nuclear destruction of Sumer, the Anunnaki gradually withdrew from direct involvement in human affairs. The "golden age" when gods walked among men came to an end.
The Withdrawal¶
- The spaceport was destroyed β no more travel to Nibiru
- Enlil and his faction departed
- Marduk went into exile (Egypt, then the Americas)
- Other gods retreated to their remaining temples
- Humanity was left to govern itself
The Legacy¶
The Anunnaki did not completely abandon humanity. They left behind: - The knowledge of civilization (writing, law, agriculture) - The sacred texts (which encode their science) - The great monuments (pyramids, ziggurats) - The promise of return
The Future Return¶
Sitchin predicted that the Anunnaki would return when Nibiru completes its next orbit β at the time of the next "crossing."
