How Wells & Aquifers Actually Work

It is undoubtedly unintuitive that water flows in the soil and rock below our feet. This video covers the basics of groundwater engineering, including how wells are built, how injection wells work, and how aquifers interact with surface water features. Errata: Deep well jet pumps exist that can lift water greater than 100' using an ejector and two pipes.

Who Are the Anunnaki? | Babylonian Gods and Goddesses | Anu, Enki, Enlil & Ninmah Revealed

The Anunnaki are believed to have descended to Earth thousands of years ago in search of gold. According to Sumerian texts, these beings discovered primitive hominids inhabiting the planet and saw an opportunity for genetic manipulation. By modifying early hominids, they engineered a new species—humans—designed to serve them as a labor force. This account suggests that modern humans are the result of experiments by these ancient gods, and the influence of the Anunnaki extends beyond creation myths, as they later became central figures in various cultures' spiritual traditions. The video explores these claims by examining ancient Sumerian tablets and related archaeological evidence, focusing on what these sources reveal about humanity's origins. The Anunnaki hierarchy was led by Anu, the sky god, recognized as the highest authority among the gods. Anu's children included Enlil, the lord of air, and Enki, the god of wisdom and water, both of whom held significant roles in Mesopotamian culture. Enlil was known for his authoritative command over the cosmos, while Enki played a crucial part in the creation and protection of humanity. Ninmah, or Ninhursag, was revered as the "Mother Goddess" of creation, emphasizing her role in nurturing human life. Enlil’s and Enki’s interactions shaped much of early humanity’s existence, while Ninmah’s role highlighted maternal aspects of divine creation. These deities were central to Sumerian myths, and their influence permeated ancient cultures, often appearing in myths as gods, protectors, and even perceived adversaries. The Anunnaki’s impact on religious beliefs, cosmic laws, and societal order reflects their importance in early human civilizations, particularly in Mesopotamia. The video presents a comprehensive analysis of the Anunnaki's mythological roles, drawing insights from sources like the "Enuma Elish," the "Epic of Atrahasis," and other ancient texts that detail the hierarchy, symbolism, and divine interventions of these gods. Anu, Enlil, Enki, and Ninmah are explained through historical context, focusing on their involvement in cosmic creation, divine assemblies, and human affairs. Enlil, known for his powerful decrees, was believed to control both heaven and earth, while Enki’s connection to wisdom, water, and magic led him to often act as a protector of humanity, as seen in the Atrahasis flood myth. Ninmah’s role in human creation is explored through stories like "Enki and Ninmah," where her collaboration with Enki leads to the birth of humankind from clay. These accounts provide a detailed look into the Anunnaki's roles and functions within the broader Mesopotamian pantheon. The video also investigates the claim that the Anunnaki were not merely gods but advanced beings who manipulated genetic material to create intelligent life on Earth. The hypothesis suggests that humanity’s spiritual and genetic history is intertwined with these entities, who were seen as creators in ancient myths. Anu’s authority over the heavens, Enlil’s dominion over the air, and Enki’s mastery of the waters are examined through their respective temples, symbols, and myths. The historical worship of these gods is traced to major Mesopotamian cities like Uruk, Nippur, and Eridu, where rituals and offerings were made to maintain a connection with these deities. The Mother Goddess Ninmah’s significance is explored further through myths like "Atrahasis," where her role in the creation process is highlighted by her symbolic association with fertility, childbirth, and nurturing life.

The Anunnaki were a group of gods in the ancient Mesopotamian pantheon, and their names and functions varied depending on the historical texts. The term "Anunnaki" comes from a Sumerian word that means "princely seed". Some of the gods associated with the Anunnaki include:

• Enlil

  The god of air and the oldest of the Anunnaki. In Sumerian mythology, Enlil split heaven and earth apart. 

   
• Enki

  The god of wisdom and freshwater, and a member of the early Mesopotamian triad that governed the earth, atmosphere, and high heavens. In the epic of Gilgamesh, Enki helped the people build an ark to escape a flood sent by the other gods. 

   
• Anu

  The lord of heaven and the father of the triad. Anu was worshipped in many cities throughout Mesopotamia, including Uruk, Der, and Ur. 

   
• Ninhursag

  The Sumerian mother goddess who was associated with the Anunnaki. In the myth Enki and Ninhursanga, Ninhursanga gave birth to the goddess Ninmu after having sexual relations with Enki. 

   

There is little evidence that the Anunnaki had a cult, and no representations of the entire group have been found. It's likely that each Anunnaki had their own cult, separate from the others.
