Semantics

Part One

The word ZONEI is related to the planets of fixed orbits. The mythic cycles were reduced to the seven-fold system because those were the planets still observable from Earth. While the lore of others still remained, it didn't make sense to calculate the effects of planetary bodies you weren't actually able to observe! ANUNAKI is also spelled ANUNNAKI and is most often translated as “heaven meets earth” or “from heaven to earth,” and typically becomes the “fallen angels” in contemporary lore. Another permutation, ANU-NAGI denotes “star-dragon” (naga). Traditionally, AN denotes “star,” “heaven” and “God” synonymously, which makes for difficult interpretations for the average cowan scholar. KI is equated with “Earth” or the physical and thus, AN-KI combined is “heaven-earth” or UNIVERSE. In Sumerian mythology, AN is objectified as ANU and KI becomes the consort of ANU, also known as ANTU. The Control Center in BABYLON was called E.TEMEN.AN.KI or “House of Foundation of Heaven + Earth” which is sometimes written E.TEMEN.ANA.KIA. A race of WATCHERS also appear in the tradition as the IGIGI, those who “observe & see,” In Judeo-Christian lore it is Shamihaza who is leader of the 2/3 of angels that fall from Heaven. In Mesopotamian lore it is Shamgaz who brings 200 of the 300 IGIGI to Earth to take Daughters of Men as wives.
