"Before Enlil. Before Enki. There was Anu." The ancient Sumerian tablets describe Anu, the Supreme King of the Anunnaki and ruler of the heavens. After inheriting the highest divine authority, Anu became the patriarch of the Anunnaki, with gods like Enlil and Enki counted among his descendants in Sumerian tradition. From his heavenly throne, he granted kingship, settled disputes among the gods, and shaped the divine order. Whether viewed as mythology or ancient history, Anu stands at the top of the Sumerian pantheon—the king from whom an empire of gods began.
