Welcome back, and thank you for joining us tonight. If you’re here for history for sleep, history to fall asleep to, or simply a gentle sleep documentary to help your thoughts settle into stillness, you’re in the right place. Tonight, we’ll look even further back than the arrival of the Anunnaki—to a time before Earth entered their story at all—and explore what the oldest Sumerian texts suggest came first. In the earliest clay tablets, the Anunnaki do not appear suddenly or without context. Their arrival is preceded by descriptions of imbalance, disruption, and change—events that unfold quietly in the background of creation myths and divine records. The texts speak of strained systems, cosmic boundaries under pressure, and decisions made long before any descent to Earth occurred. These are not stories of exploration, but of preparation. Some passages hint at environmental instability in the heavens, others at conflict among divine ranks, and still others at a world no longer able to sustain its rulers. The language is subtle, often symbolic, yet consistent. Before Earth became a destination, something had already gone wrong elsewhere. The Anunnaki did not arrive as conquerors or wanderers, but as beings responding to circumstances beyond their control. Even the creation of humanity appears foreshadowed in these early moments—not as a grand design, but as an outcome set in motion before Earth was ever chosen. The tablets suggest that the fate of humanity may have been shaped by events that occurred long before the first city was built, or the first king ruled. Earth, in this telling, becomes part of a much older sequence—one that began far away, in a time now barely remembered. In this history documentary, we’ll gently explore what the Sumerian texts imply about the age before the Anunnaki arrived—the pressures, the changes, and the unseen causes that set everything into motion. This is history for sleep, history to fall asleep to, and a calming history to fall asleep journey into the quiet prelude of human history, where the most important events happened before anyone was watching. So settle in, let the distant echoes of the oldest stories drift softly through your thoughts, and allow the forgotten beginnings that preceded the Anunnaki’s arrival to guide you peacefully into rest. Sweet dreams, and good night.
