The concept of a global Mother Goddess cult that believed it was a Goddess that is the source of creation as we know it, seems a strong one. As is the notion that it used very similar iconography and conceptualisations, which started quite vague and simplistic, but developed in complexity over time, and existed from the Palaeolithic to at least the end of the Bronze Age. This came to be replaced, often by force, by a patriarchal focussed cult which has resulted in most of the worlds religions we see today.

The Anunnaki, a term that echoes of ancient Sumer, refers to a pantheon of deities revered by the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. Were these also the Watchers and Nephilim of the Book of Enoch, are these what some today call the cabal?
