Discover the civilisation that built the first cities, wrote the first laws, and shaped humanity’s understanding of power itself.
The Anunnaki Enigma explores how the gods of ancient Mesopotamia became the architects of social order, divine kingship, and moral law. Drawing on archaeological evidence, cuneiform translations, and comparative mythology, it traces the journey of the Anunnaki from mythic beings of creation to symbols of political legitimacy and cosmic balance.
Through chapters spanning religion, governance, art, astronomy, and ethics, this book reveals how ancient people intertwined the sacred and the civic—how temples became banks, priests became administrators, and kings ruled by divine right. It connects those patterns to the modern world, showing how the stories of the Anunnaki still echo in our ideas of justice, authority, and belief.
Richly researched and written for both scholars and general readers, The Anunnaki Enigma is an essential guide to understanding the gods who gave humanity its first sense of destiny.
