In Assyrian mythology, the Annunaki (Anunu) are the firstborn (elder) gods, who lived in the abode of Anu, the sky-god. Later, they became the gods of the earth, and taught farming and other skills to mankind. Later, they became the judges of the dead.

The Annunaki may even be the ancient race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament and apocryphal texts, who became the "fallen angels" of Judeo-Christian mythology.

In some New Age beliefs, the Anunaki are purported to be a race of alien immortals.

An Annunaku is using a pinecone to disperse water from a bucket
