Coming from Heaven. Book 2

By Elena Kryuchkova and Olga Kryuchkova

Excerpt from the book:
The Blue Planet gradually approached and increased in size. The distance between its and the aircraft decreased. Inanna heard footsteps behind her, and turning to see Aruru. Aruru's appearance was quite attractive: her golden hair contrasted sharply with bright large green eyes. Despite this, Aruru preferred modest clothes in low-key tones.
“Inanna, we'll be landing soon,” she said enthusiastically. “I am looking forward to coming to our colony!”
Aruru was an optimist by nature. The long time spent on board the spacecraft, and even in a confined space and in the same team, seemed to have no effect on her. Nevertheless, Inanna felt pretty tired. She could no longer look at the same faces. She was sick of the monotonous food, and Dumuzid had been annoying lately.
The red-haired beauty increasingly thought that the next hundred, or even two hundred years, she would have to spend on Earth, devoid of the usual benefits and comfort. Inanna inwardly wondered at the enthusiasm of her aunts. It seemed that they were already on the ship were completely absorbed in the forthcoming research. And they discussed it incessantly. Sometimes it seemed to Inanna that her aunts were simply obsessed with science.
“...There is little left...” Inanna confirmed.
She turned her gaze to Lahar and Ashnan who had appeared in the compartment. Both, like two drops of water, are similar to each other: with wheat-colored hair and gray eyes. The eldest, Ashnan, loved to decorate her hair with hairpins made of fresh flowers and ears. The youngest, Lahar, styled her blonde hair in two tufts above her ears, somewhat reminiscent of sheep's horns.
Inanna, although she had never been to the Blue Planet before, she heard a lot about its from her parents, grandfather Enki and older brother Utu. Inanna in advance formed an idea of the local inhabitants of the Earth as primitive creatures. And she assumed that they would call Ashnan the goddess of grain, and Lahar — the goddess of cattle, respectively, according to their occupation. After all, Ashnan was engaged in the study and crossing of plants, and Lahar was enthusiastically breeding new species of animals. And because of her red hair, Inanna herself will be more likely to be revered as the goddess of the dawn. Inanna did not yet know how prophetic her assumptions would turn out to be. And that the women of Mesopotamia will dye their hair with henna so that they get a reddish tint.
The Anunnaki women spoke enthusiastically about science, using various difficult to pronounce words. Inanna was terribly annoyed, especially when the irrepressible energy of the twins burst out.
“I can't wait until I finally leave this cage! And I will breathe a little fresh air...” Inanna thought irritably. However, she smiled sweetly at her aunts.
After some time, Inanna's patience was rewarded — the ‘celestial chariot’ began to descend to Earth. The landing site was on the roof of a specially built ziggurat for this purpose, located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Nearby was the city of Uruk, and the ziggurat was surrounded by a high stone wall for security reasons. Because the townspeople often came to worship the place where the deities in heavenly chariots descend to Earth. Some lucky ones even managed to see the deities with their own eyes.
A passage opened on the surface of the golden flying disc, and a staircase rolled out smoothly. The heavenly travelers descended along it to the roof of the ziggurat.

Part 2. Those Who Came from Heaven

Chapter 1

Mesopotamia, 3000 — 2800 BC

Inanna, being on a spaceship (which the Earthlings called: a golden disc; a chariot of deities; a heavenly chariot; a soaring divine temple), looked through a transparent viewing panel at the gradually approaching sphere of the Blue Planet. The cosmic landscape was mesmerizing...

Inanna came from the Anunnaki clan — those whom humans on Earth considered ‘came from heaven’, ‘coming from heaven’ and worshiped as deities. The homeworld of the heavenly clan was one of the planets in Orion's Belt. Their homeworld has long been plagued by overpopulation and lack of resources. In particular, gold and industrial metals so much needed by the Anunnaki, which they actively used in their technologies. The Anunnaki clan at home was actively involved in the development of scientific and technological progress. The distant planet was ruled by another clan — Nun-galene[1].

Therefore, several tens of thousands of years ago, the heavenly clan made a decision: ‘to explore new horizons’, that is, other planets. Look for other places suitable for life, filled with deposits of valuable resources.

And the numerous celestial chariots of the Anunnaki set off. Soon, they discovered several habitable planets rich in resources. Their climate and landscape resembled the homeworld of the Anunnaki.

One of the planets explored by the Anunnaki was the so-called Blue Planet, or Earth. It possessed rich deposits of rare technological metals, which were so necessary for the Anunnaki for the further development of civilization, as well as gold.

The Anunnaki knew that once millions of years ago the Earth was inhabited by various reptiles, dinosaurs. History has not remembered the name of the cosmic race that cleared the surface of the Earth from dinosaurs. Nevertheless, after a while it became suitable for colonization. And since then, many space missions have visited the Blue Planet, which used not only its resources, but also conducted various genetic experiments on it, in particular to create intelligent beings. The Earth has become a scientific testing ground for many races who came from the depths of the Cosmos.

Time passed inexorably forward. Gradually the missions left the Earth. And they forgot about its. The Anunnaki, relying on ancient knowledge, actually rediscovered the Earth and the nearby Red Planet[2] (also rich in resources) anew.

So almost a hundred thousand years ago, the Anunnaki heavenly clan began to develop the resources of the Blue Planet. The colonization of the Earth proceeded at intervals of two to three thousand years, depending on the needs and the political situation in the homeworld. The upper deposits of minerals were easily mined by the colonists, but access to deeper natural resources required sophisticated technologies and significant costs.

In addition, the Blue Planet was far from the Metropolis (home planet) — the journey to it took several years. Therefore, the Anunnaki preferred to establish another colony on the Red Planet. However, a disaster struck on the Red Planet. One of its satellites collided with a large meteorite and began to deviate from orbit, the Anunnaki colony had to leave it. The colonists boarded their starships and departed for the Blue Planet. This is how an earthly colony appeared. Meanwhile, the satellite fell to the surface of the Red Planet, destroying all life, and it became uninhabitable.

In order not to spend money on expensive technologies, the rulers of the heavenly clan instructed their best scientists to create creatures in their own image (but with a limited lifespan: no more than a hundred Earth years) to work in mines. These creatures must be physically strong, obedient, intellectually undeveloped. For this, the Anunnaki scientists used creatures bred on Earth by colonists of another space race.

After a series of setbacks, the mission of the scientists was crowned with success. So on the Blue Planet there appeared those whom the Anunnaki began to call mortal humans, because they themselves could live for almost two thousand years. The people looked like the Anunnaki, but they were shorter and not so physically strong. They quickly multiplied and spread across the planet.

Over time, the people of the heavenly clan decided that mortal Earthlings could produce everything necessary for their existence here, on Earth. And they won't have to supply food from their home planet. So the Anunnaki taught mortals not only to mine metals, grow grain, raise livestock, weave clothes, build houses and create primitive vehicles, but also gave them basic laws and shared the simplest technologies, as well as some astronomical knowledge. Mortal Earthlings successfully fulfilled the task assigned to them and worshiped the heavenly clan like deities.

Almost fifteen hundred years ago, there was a division among the Anunnaki colonists. Four independent clans were formed. The first clan remained to live in Mesopotamia, the second — went to the territory of Ta-kemet[3]. The third clan moved to the banks of the Indus and Ganges rivers, organizing the state of Meluhha with the large cities of Mahenjo-daro, and Harappa. The fourth clan altogether boarded the flying ships and set off to explore new territories located on the other end of the Earth.

Sometimes beautiful men and women were born among humans. The Anunnaki entered into an amorous relationship with them. From such unions, children were born, endowed with extraordinary abilities: rare beauty, intelligence, strength and other talents. Formally, such alliances were forbidden by the laws of the heavenly clan, but the space colonists, firmly established on Earth, openly neglected them.

Moreover, not only Anunnaki men entered into such a relationship with humans, but also women of the heavenly clan. And those, and others were born ‘divine’ children, which were especially revered by mortal Earthlings. The
