Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunaki, Anunna, Anunnaku, Ananaki and other variations) are a group of deities in ancient Mesopotamian cultures (i.e., Sumerian,
Akkadian,
Assyrian, and Babylonian).[1]
Igigi is unclear – at times the names are used synonymously but in the Atra-Hasis flood myth the Igigi are the sixth generation of the gods who have to work for
the Anunnaki, rebelling after 40 days and replaced by the creation of humans.[3]
Jeremy Black and
Anthony Green offer a slightly different perspective on the Igigi and the Anunnaki, writing that "lgigu or Igigi is a term introduced in the
Old Babylonian Period as a name for the (ten) "great gods". While it sometimes kept that sense in later periods, from
Middle Assyrian and Babylonian times on it is generally used to refer to the gods of heaven collectively, just as the term Anunnakku (
Anuna) was later used to refer to the gods of the underworld
. In the Epic of
Creation, it is said that there are
300 lgigu of heaven."[4]
The Anunnaki appear in the
Babylonian creation myth,
Enuma Elish.[5] In the late version magnifying
Marduk, after the creation of mankind, Marduk divides the Anunnaki and assigns them to their proper stations, three hundred in heaven, three hundred on the earth. In gratitude, the Anunnaki, the "
Great Gods", built
Esagila, the splendid: "They raised high the head of Esagila equaling Apsu.
Having built a stage-tower as high as Apsu, they set up in it an abode for Marduk, Enlil, Ea." Then they built their own shrines.[citation needed]
The Anunnaki are mentioned in
The Epic of Gilgamesh when Utnapishtim tells the story of the flood. The seven judges of hell are called the Anunnaki, and they set the land aflame as the storm is approaching.[6]
According to later Assyrian and Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods, themselves the children of Anshar and Kishar (Skypivot and Earthpivot, the
Celestial poles), who in turn were the children of Lahamu and Lahmu ("the muddy ones"), names given to the gatekeepers of the
Abzu (
House of
Far Waters) temple at
Eridu, the site at which the creation was thought to have occurred.
Finally, Lahamu and Lahmu were the children of
Tiamat (
Goddess of the
Ocean) and Abzu (God of
Fresh Water).[7]

The Israelites (/ˈɪzriəˌlaɪtsˌ/;
Hebrew: בני
ישראל Bnei
Yisra'el)[1] were a
Semitic-speaking people of the ancient
Near East, who inhabited part of
Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods. [2][
3][4][5][6] and lived in the region in smaller numbers after the fall of the monarchy. The prevailing academic opinion today is that the
Israelites, who eventually evolved into the modern Jews and Samaritans, were an outgrowth of the indigenous Canaanites who had resided in the area since the
8th millennium BCE.[
7][8][9][10]
In the
Hebrew Bible, the term "Israelites" refers to the direct descendants of any of the sons of the patriarch
Jacob, or of the people called Israel, and of a worshipper of the
God of Israel,
Yahweh. In the period of the divided monarchy it referred only to inhabitants of the northern kingdom, and is only extended to cover people of the southern kingdom in post-exilic usage.[11] Other terms sometimes used include the "
Hebrews" and the "
Twelve Tribes" (of Israel).
