In the cradle of civilization, where the twin rivers of Sumer met the marshes of Eridu, the ancients recorded a truth that defied time: "After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridu."

In the cradle of civilization, where the twin rivers of Sumer met the marshes of Eridu, the ancients recorded a truth that defied time: "After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridu." From those words begins the oldest known history of divine rule-the celestial mandate that shaped empires, faiths, and destinies across millennia. Anunnaki: Kingship from Heaven journeys deep into the heart of Mesopotamian myth and theology, revealing a civilization that saw power not as invention, but as inheritance-a gift bestowed by the gods. Drawing from the Weld-Blundell Prism and the Sumerian King List, this volume explores the mysterious origins of kingship as a sacred technology of order-where gods walked among men, cities aligned to the stars, and rulers became living vessels of divine decree. From the shining courts of Eridu to the storm-swept plains of Kish, from Alulim's reign of 28,800 years to the cosmic deluge that reset the world, this book unveils how kingship itself was viewed as a descending current from the heavens, a divine architecture entrusted to humanity. Through poetic scholarship and vivid reconstruction, Anunnaki: Kingship from Heaven bridges myth and history, theology and archaeology. It reveals the profound Sumerian belief that civilization began not with the rise of human ambition-but with the descent of divine wisdom. To read it is to rediscover a forgotten covenant: that every true ruler is but a reflection of the order first established in the stars, and that kingship-like light-forever falls from above.
Riddick Dawson is a historian-author whose work moves at the crossroads of archaeology, mythology, and the hidden traditions of the ancient world. With the spirit of an adventurer and the rigor of a researcher, Dawson has dedicated his career to uncovering the forgotten narratives of humanity-from the lost cities beneath desert sands to the spectral voices of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Drawing on over two decades of study, Dawson's research dives deep into the shadowy domains of the Nephilim, the Anunnaki, and the Watchers of Genesis. His writings chart the intersections between biblical texts, Mesopotamian epics, and comparative myth, revealing startling connections that challenge orthodox timelines and conventional history. In the field, Dawson has pursued evidence across sacred landscapes-temples of Egypt, megaliths of the Near East, and mountain sanctuaries whispered about in apocryphal lore. Beyond the texts and ruins, Dawson is a storyteller. His voice-part scholar, part seeker-brings these ancient enigmas to life for a modern audience hungry to ask the deeper questions: Who were the gods of old? What legacies have they left hidden in stone and scripture? And what does their memory mean for humanity today? Through books, lectures, and his distinctive narrative style, Riddick Dawson has become a leading voice for those who walk the line between history and mystery, offering a bold vision of the past that dares to include what others dismiss as myth.
