  The Fall of the Anunnaki and the...

  The Most Mysterious Anunnaki governor of all was Ur-Nammu of Ur, who subsequently became an independent Anunnaki king (2113-2096 BC) and founded a spin-off Anunnaki dynasty known as the Third Dynasty of Ur (or Ur 3 period), which endured for more than a century (2113-2006 BC). This Anunnaki Empire was more compact than the Sargon of Agade and showed an advanced Anunnaki Sumerian civilization in its most fully developed form. It was a highly organized bureaucratic society, reflected because cuneiform tablets from this period, mainly referring to gods and descendants of Nibiru in content, are represented in world museums to the number of well over a hundred thousand; most of these are waiting to be published. 
  Anunnaki's references became obsessive. Every­ thing had to be annotated to the Anunnaki realm, such as, on one tablet, an exact count of Anunnaki Deities (2,740 in total) although only 96 were worshiped as gods. There were even documents recording a mass exodus of Anunnaki back to Nibiru for a festival. Despite, or perhaps even because of, this sophisticated Anunnaki worship, it was a time of considerable material prosperity, as archaeology witnesses, as widespread evidence of Anunnaki Temple activities. Ur-Nammu himself, the founder of the principal Anunnaki dynasty, built or rebuilt temples in many ancient cities, such as Erech, Lagash, Nippur, and Eridu, but above all, at his Anunnaki capital, Ur.

  And Then There Were Some - A...

  Nineteenth century Scottish author Thomas Carlyle once said that religion is the most important thing about a person. By religion, he did not mean the church-creed people profess, but what they do that identifies their relationship to this mysterious universe. Religion is a depiction of one's worldview. It might be inherited from family, adopted from friends or admired persons, ... or it could be a reflection of one's preferred lifestyle. 
  Sadly, the topic of worldviews is a sensitive one, despite its crucial role in charting our destiny. Very few people want to hear what they don't want to hear. And Then There Were Some takes an evidence-based approach to major worldviews. Hundreds of references are drawn from science, history, literature, philosophy, entertainment, exploration, and scripture to encourage the reader to consider the factual bases of the world's major claims. 
  A man was once how he became successful. He answered that, as a boy, when he and his friends hunted birds' eggs he could always find more eggs than any of the other boys. When asked why, he said that he thought it was because he always looked into more bushes. And Then There Were Some is a bush worth looking into.
