The Anunnaki were believed to be in charge of Sumerians’ fates. Many myths involved members of the Anunnaki pᴀssing judgment on humans. Additionally, the gods were described as children of the Earth and sky. Most people chalk these stories up to mythology, the same way they do the Greek gods. However, others wonder whether there’s more to the story.
