Read more From the Introduction For the past two hundred years, ancient Egypt has captured our imaginations. Napoleons Egyptian Campaign in the Ottoman territories of Egypt and Syriaan expedition that led to the discovery of the Rosetta Stoneset in motion a phenomenon known as Egyptomania. This widespread fascination with ancient Egypt swelled with Howard Carters discovery of King Tutankhamuns tomb in 1922. And Egyptomania is still recognizable in postmodern culture in everything from entertainment to architecture. The Sumerians were truly exceptional in ways that you will discover throughout this book. They were so exceptional, that even academia has been haunted by unresolved questions about who the Sumerians really were and where in the world they came from. Read more Anunnaki Gods With wide eyes, sharp features, intricately styled hair and beards, the Anunnaki are striking in appearance and larger than life. At times, they appear nonhuman. Their depictions, created around six thousand years ago, were crafted by a people of unknown nationality who came to Mesopotamia from an unknown land. To the Sumerians, these gods were the masters of earth and sky, having power over both life and death. Immortalized in stone, they look very different from the prehistoric deities which early humans appeared to regard as sacred before civilization. Rather than the simplicity of primitive cave art, these stone masterpieces convey a complex message of high culture and technological advancement. Is this how the gods of humankinds first civilization really looked? What other physical attributes might they have had? Read more Physicality Fish Men One example might be the Mesopotamian fish men called Oannes, who were part of a group of demigods called Abgal in Sumerian, or Apkallu, in Akkadian. According to the legend, these fish-human hybrids were wise gods or sages that came to teach humans the fundamentals of civilizationan idea we will revisit in chapter 6. These beings were said to have emerged from the water and took human form during the day among the people and then disappeared into the night. Some researchers suggest these creatures were not truly amphibious humanoids, but rather ordinary humans wearing fish suits. The Chaldean scribe Berosus said of the Oannes that he had a fish head but also a second head. He also had both the feet of a man and the tail of a fish. He shared the language of man but ate no food. If taken literally, this creature sounds like an abomination. However, when looking at the surviving depictions of this monster, could it be that the Oannes is a man simply wearing a fishlike costume? Giants One of the more popular claims is that the Anunnaki were giants. Some of these theories are due in part to images like the Tablet of Shamash, on which a large seated figure of the god Shamash is offering the rod and ring (a symbol of power and justice) to a standing Hammurabi, the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, who reigned from 1792 BCE to 1750 BCE. According to the accounts on the Code of Hammurabi stele, a seven-foot piece of basalt now at the Louvre in Paris, Shamash, the god of justice and equity, gave the code of laws to Hammurabi. The stele states, Hammurabi, the king of righteousness, on whom Shamash has conferred right (or law) am I (Yale Law School: Code of Hammurabi, 2018) to establish who is in the picture. True Blue Another strangely common theme for deitiesand one of the most distinctive features of the gods of Indiais blue skin. Blue-skinned gods have been found in Egypt and even in South America. Some researchers have claimed that the Anunnaki were also blue. Is the blue color of the skin simply an artistic element or could it mean something more? Lets say for a moment that the gods could actually have blue skin. This could mean that the skin itself is not blue, but rather the blood. A fair-skinned human has a pinkish hue to the skin because human blood is red. If the skin of the gods seemed blue, could the blood of the gods have been blue? You have probably heard the old description blue-blooded. To be blue-blooded meant to be of noble origin. Representatives of aristocracy and royalty were said to have blue blood. Is the term blue blood just an out-of-date colloquialism denoting noble birth, or could the term refer to genetic ancestry? Read more Read more
