Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, Are The Anunnaki Flying Around With Wings?

Answer: They'll say yes and post pictures they may have Googled thinking the images are the Anunnaki.

This question is directed to Nuwaupians, but it can also be used against Zecharia Sitchin's followers or anyone who clings to the "Ancient Astronauts" theories from the pseudo scholar all-stars.

 One of the most frequent images Nuwaupians and/or Sitchinites will post, is the bird-like man holding an object where it's being pointed.  In nearly every case, there are no cited sources as to where the image originated, what it means or any information ass to why the use of other objects in the same image. 

 

Anyone familiar with the pseudo-ism from groups like Nuwaupians and Sitchinites, they'll always claim images like the one above as an Anunnaki god, but will never ever cite any Mesopotamian sources, tablets or lines from a text that mentions this nor images like it as being Anunnaki be the claim An (Anu), En (Enki) Enlil etc.

The above image is from Neo-Assyrian art, and what's never addressed is the fact that the winged character as with other artistic depictions, has them holding a pine cone and a bucket (or occasionally a bucket alone) in association with a stylized tree; the bucket held down in the left.  

The cone known as a Fir-cone (Pinus Brutia), as the male flower of the date palm.  The bucket is known to have contained either water or pollen.  The bucket and cone were associated with purification and fertilization, for they are known respectively in Sumerian as

Ba-an-du5  "Bandudu" (bucket/basket) also as "Banduddu" in Akkadian language, and, significantly in Sumerian as,

Isib "purification priest" "Mullilu" in Akkadian, a (purifying priest).  Figurines of the winged man-like birds holding these attributes were placed withing buildings for protection from malevolent forces and disease.

None of the images above or below nor those posted by pseudo scholars and believers ever mention Anuna (Anunnaki) in conjunction with the image, let alone cite the location from where the image can be found.

Images like those above of winged figures from the palace of Sargon of Akkad, in Assyria is nothing more than a representation of nature, this is clear from what some claim as a wrist watch on the winged icon.

In Mesopotamian literature and culture, certain aspects of nature were controlled by these winged charters.  Most notably they were responsible for the fertilization of crops, again, depicted with a bucket of pollen or water in one had, and a pine cone in the other.

The object on the wrist that some have claimed to be a watch, if you look close and investigate it, you'll discover that it's not a watch but an Akkadian symbol for Ishtar, the Goddess of "Fertility".  You can see the same rosette on the Gate of Ishtar because the fertility of the land was associated with the Goddess of fertility, and the winged man-like figures are depicted as acting on behalf of Ishtar who's name literally means "a plant", as they fertilize a date tree.  

Below is an old Babylonian carving of dInana (Ishtar) housed in the British Museum.

 

This same symbol is not only on the wrist of the winged-ones, but also on the head, thus debunking any notions of it being a wrist watch.

 

 

It's that lack of verification that demonstrates a jump to conclusions, bias speculation and a total absents of linguistic familiarity.  The Anuna (Anunnaki) played a very small role in the life of Sumerians, which is why any references to them are very limited in Sumerian society and culture.  It's only of interest in the mainstream today because of the pseudo scholarship of Zecharia Sitchin and his twisted tales about them.  The Anunnaki was made even more popular in African-American thought because of a religious cult leader Malachi Z. York via his publications and cult members, the Nuwaupians, and he (York) closely followed Sitchin and his (Sitchin's) writings, bringing about a new level of spookology by even claiming himself to be the son of Enki, "Marduk", one of the Anunnaki.

 

What evidence can a Nuwaupian bring that supports the York fallacies that these winged characters are the "Anunnaki" ?
