FYI: "The Anunnaki appear in the Babylonian creation myth,
Enuma Elish. 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.
According to later
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 temple at
Eridu, the site at which the
creation was thought to have occurred. Finally, Lahamu and Lahmu were the children of
Tiamat and
Abzu."
