According to Sumerian mythology, the Anunnaki were a group of gods who ruled over the Earth and created humans to serve them. The myth is primarily based on the Epic of Gilgamesh, which tells the story of Gilgamesh, a king of Uruk, and his quest for immortality. The Anunnaki are also mentioned in other ancient Mesopotamian texts, such as the Enuma Elish and the Atra-Khasis.
