Anunnaki Cosmology, Structure of Heaven and Earth

Drawing on hymns, myths, temple inscriptions, and archaeology, it reveals how the Sumerians and their successors conceived of the universe as a layered, living architecture. From Enlil’s separation of Heaven and Earth to Enki’s mysteries of the Abzu, from the cosmic mountain embodied in the ziggurat to the celestial decrees of Anu, the chapters unfold a worldview where space, time, and ritual were seamlessly interwoven. Sacred geography, festivals, and the movements of stars were not abstractions — they were the very machinery of the cosmos, keeping divine order aligned with human life.

Blending myth, history, and comparative insights, this work uncovers the foundations of Near Eastern cosmology and its enduring influence on later traditions, from Babylonian creation myths to the Hebrew Bible. For readers fascinated by the Anunnaki, ancient temples, and the hidden structures of the heavens, it offers both scholarship and story — a journey into the heart of the world’s first great cosmological imagination.
