The ancient astronaut theory suggests that the Anunnaki, deities in Sumerian mythology, were extraterrestrial beings who visited Earth in antiquity, influencing human civilization. Proponents of this theory point to ancient Sumerian texts, such as the *Enuma Elish* and *Epic of Gilgamesh*, which describe gods descending from the sky and imparting knowledge to humans.
The theory further interprets Sumerian depictions of advanced technology, such as detailed star maps and tools, as evidence of extraterrestrial influence. These artifacts, along with the Anunnaki’s portrayal as powerful, technologically advanced beings, are seen as clues supporting the idea of ancient contact with alien civilizations.
