What Sumerian Tablets Reveal About a Time Before the Anunnaki | History for Sleep

Описание: From the primordial ocean and the birth of the first deities to the mysteries hidden within Mesopotamia’s oldest cities, Sumerian records preserve extraordinary tales of a world that existed before the Anunnaki we know today emerged. In this calm, long-form bedtime history documentary, we explore what the oldest clay tablets tell us about the dawn of civilization and the forgotten eons before the reign of the famous gods.

Journeying through myths from Eridu, Nippur, and Uruk, this episode gently examines descriptions of primordial chaos, the emergence of heaven and earth, and the times when the world’s destiny was guided by forces older than those known from later epics. Were these accounts merely poetic metaphors, or could they reflect the actual beginnings of human settlement in the Tigris and Euphrates valley?

Along the way, we reflect on:
The genesis of the gods and the cosmic order recorded in the "Eridu Genesis"

Myths of the Abzu—the mystical ocean of fresh water beneath the earth

The differences between the earliest deities and the later Anunnaki pantheon

Archaeological finds from the Ubaid period, predating the Sumerian kingdoms

The concept of "Me"—the divine decrees and technologies that shaped humanity

The boundary between creation myths and the actual dawn of Mesopotamian culture

This film does not seek to prove a single theory. Instead, it offers a quiet space to reflect on how our ancestors understood the beginning of everything and how these archaic memories survived for thousands of years in clay.

Designed for relaxation, late-night listening, and sleep, this slow and thoughtful exploration invites you to unwind while contemplating the oldest stories ever recorded by humankind.

Perfect for viewers interested in Sumerian mythology, lost history, and calm, reflective storytelling.
