"We are children of the sky. We have come to bring you wisdom."
Those Who Came From the Sky Thousands of years ago, in the sun-scorched lands of Mesopotamia, the sky was a bundle of secrets for humanity. The stars were the home of the gods, and the moon was a silent witness to ancient stories. The young king of Uruk, Enmesh, was unaware that his fate would change with a ray of light he saw in the sky. One night, a bright fireball fell from the sky onto the lands bathed in moonlight. It crashed to the ground, leaving a burning trail among the sand dunes outside the city. With both fear and curiosity in his heart, King Enmesh gathered his soldiers to investigate the incident and followed the trace of the fallen "star". Where it fell, there was a structure that people had never seen before. A smooth-surfaced object that shone as if it was made of gold and silver. Its surface was warm but not untouchable. When Enmesh approached the object, he saw a door open. Tall, thin, human-like beings appeared behind the door. Their eyes shone like a light piercing through the dark night. When the beings touched Enmesh, they began to speak in a language that echoed in his mind. These words did not sound like the language of Mesopotamia or any other people around him. But somehow Enmesh understood what they were saying: "We are the children of the sky. We have come to bring you wisdom." These beings introduced themselves as the Anunnaki. They said that their world was facing death and needed the help of humans to survive. In return, they would teach humans agriculture, mathematics, and sky maps. The Anunnaki were taken to the city and were welcomed as gods by the people. These beings from the sky soon taught humans how to build canals, work stone, and even follow the movements of the stars. Under the guidance of the Anunnaki, the people of Uruk built a great civilization. But in time, the Anunnaki's true purpose was revealed. What they wanted was a precious metal mined from the lands of Mesopotamia: gold. This metal was a source of energy that could save their world from destruction. The people were willing to help the Anunnaki, but some scholars began to have doubts. Were the beings' intentions truly friendly, or were they simply using humanity for their own benefit? King Enmesh confronted the Anunnaki to find out the answers to these questions. He asked them for the truth. Alzu, the leader of the Anunnaki, answered Enmesh: "We are children of the sky, but we are also a lost people. We came to you to save our own world. In return, we gave you wisdom. This is a trade, Enmesh, not a charity." King Enmesh had to make a decision to preserve the freedom of his people. Either they would accept the Anunnaki's terms and live under their protection, or they would rebel and forge their own destiny. In the end, Enmesh believed that his people had to unite. Using the knowledge they learned from the Anunnaki, they developed their own technology. Realizing that those who came from the sky no longer needed them, the Anunnaki suddenly ascended into the sky one night and left the world. However, when they left, they left behind not only the metals extracted from the gold mines, but also the seeds of wisdom that would accelerate humanity's progress. Over time, this knowledge turned into myths, temple inscriptions, and legends about the stars. Humanity continued to look to the sky to chart its own destiny. And perhaps one day, Enmesh's descendants would reach the stars to follow the traces of the Anunnaki. AI-Story
