The Anunnaki(Anunnagi) is an ancient Sumerian term which was given to the beings who came down to earth and pro-created homo sapiens. Anunnaki translates as “those who Anu sent from heaven to earth”

They were also called NEPHILIM meaning “To fall down to Earth, to land”. ELOHEEM(ELohim) in the bible meaning “These Beings”.

In ashuric/syriac (arabic) they are called Jabaariyn meaning “the mighty ones”

In Aramic (hebrew) Gibborim meaning “The Mighty or Majestic ones”

They are also called NETERU which is an Egyptian term for Anunnaki

(from different source material)

The Annunaqi Eloheem are a race of beings created of pure green light and impure amber light before the foundation of this world. It was on the forth plane, the plane of “ultimate will, or the mental plane” that the division between the so-called good and so-called evil was established. As the supreme beings, the Annunaqi Eloheem skin was olive tone green to dark reddish brown. They are the race of supreme beings not spooks, ghosts, or apparitions. Annunaqi is just another name for Rizqiyians meaning “providers”. The Annunaqi are those beings that And, the most high sent down from heaven to earth in sets of 50’s while on the planet earth under an appointed being. They receive the name Annunaqi when they came to earth.

In the recent reboot series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, one of the peoples in the show are the Eternians.

Eternians are from the planet Eternia, a sister planet to Etheria in the same star system. They are known throughout the series as "the First Ones" or the "first settlers" of Etheria (despite Indigenous populations of sentient peoples already existing on the planet prior to their arrival).

*SPOILERS if You Read Further*

At first in the series, the First Ones are filled with mystery and reference. They are appreciated and even possibly worshipped by native Etherians as a powerful and good people. As Eternians disappeared a thousand years prior to the start of the series true knowledge on who they were and why they disappeared is all but lost.

The only ones active and alive that were there in the past were the computer program Light Hope and Madame Razz respectively. Light Hope restricts knowledge of the First Ones due to blocks placed in her programming by the Eternians and Madame Razz experiences time in a non-linear fashion making her communication with others cryptic, indirect and sometimes even incomprehensible. Thus immediate knowledge about the Eternians is hard to come by.

The previous incarnation of She-Ra (an avatar of the Planet Etheria and its magic, known as the "Princess of Power") was an Eternian known as Mara. A thousand years prior to the events of the series, Mara used her power as She-Ra to transport the entire planet into an alternate dimension from the rest of the Universe, known as the dimension of Despondos, a shadow dimension. Thus according to Razz and Etherian myth, she "took away the stars".

Light Hope explains to Adora, the current incarnation of She-Ra, that Mara was mentally unstable and that the planet can return to the universe once it is "balanced".

However, as the series progresses it is revealed that the Light Hope was withholding information from Adora. In truth, as revealed through the marvelous time-hopping perspective of Madame Razz and a message left by Mara, Mara transported the planet to foil the plans of her fellow Eternians.

It is revealed that the Eternians being peaceful and good settlers was all a myth and that they were actually colonizers mining the planet's magic for their own gain.

At the time of Mara's rebellion against Eternia, the Eternians were interstellar colonizers that were waging a war against another interstellar colonizer, the Horde.

At the beginning of the series, the main antagonist is the Horde (rather a smaller offshoot.) However, Season 4 inverts the common trope of the "good colonizer". The main antagonist of the fourth season becomes Light Hope, who is revealed to be the operator of a massive galactic superweapon (The concentrated planetary magic of Etheria itself, known as the "Heart of Etheria") that puts both the Starkiller Base and the Death Star to shame.

You see the Eternians were mining magic from multiple planets in their bid to win over the Horde. They developed the Heart of Etheria to be used as a last case scenario to completely annihilate the Horde (and themselves being that Eternia was a sister planet). This mirrors the concept of mutually assured destruction in nuclear warfare.

As the Horde was winning the war against the Eternians, they became desperate and sent Mara to Etheria to activate the Heart. However, after Mara discovered the mass intergalactic genocides that her people were planning to commit she turned against them disgusted by their willingness to kill so many innocent Indigenous peoples throughout the galaxy.

Adora ultimately did too, destroying the sword created as the key to the Heart to save Etheria and the Galaxy.

Here is the reason I love this:

This narrative paints colonization in ANY form as negative and ultimately evil. Even the "lesser evil" of the Eternians vs the Horde. The mass death for the "greater good" is painted as something terrible and disgusting by all of the characters. THIS IS A MESSAGE TO BE SENT TO CHILDREN, NOT "Redeem the Colonizer with little regard to the Colonized". This is what makes She-Ra an ABSOLUTE tier above Steven Universe and even ATLA (considering its racist and problematic origins).

The Eternians were just as bad as the Horde. Not a "lesser evil", not a "benevolent colonizer/ruler", not "peaceful settlers". They were willing to enact mass death at an insane scale all to prevent the Horde from succeeding and all that became of them is dust and ruins. This is what should become of all colonizers.

Any headcanons you have?

Same thing as before: I’ll post 5 headcanons here, and if you want to get more, just send the ask again. Or just straight up ask for headcanons about specific things (characters, ships, etc.) and I’ll give five headcanons for that specific topic

1. Imp is actually another clone of Hordak, which is why they have some physical similarities. When he was almost done “incubating”, Hordak realized that he wasn’t growing correctly, but in a rare moment of mercy, chose not to terminate that particular experiment. But he did choose to alter it slightly, giving the clone wings (by mixing in DNA from another creature, which also had the side effect of the tail) and adding some cybernetics to the vocal chords so it could record people’s conversations. He may have been willing to keep this clone alive, despite it technically being a failure, but he would make sure it’d be useful to him, as a spy.

2. Entrapta has, or more accurately, had a runestone at some point. She just doesn’t remember it because it was fractured when she was very young - which also is what killed her parents, though she never realized what it was. Unbeknownst to her, the First Ones’ Tech that powers her bots are actually shards of her old runestone that still managed to hold onto some degree of their power, though considerably less than they had when the stone was still whole. 

3. There have been rumors and gossip circulating around Castle Bright Moon for years regarding the status of Glimmer and Bow’s relationship, most of which they’ve never actually been made aware of, though a select few did catch their attention…Much blushing was involved when they heard what everyone was talking about, and how it involved them.

4. To a lot of people’s surprise, while Angella is very protective of Glimmer when it comes to things like battles and fighting, she is quite a bit more lenient when it comes to the issues of her dating, and things like sex, at least once Glimmer is an adult. She does make it clear that she expects (or at least hopes) her daughter is responsible and safe, and knows that she’ll have to take responsibility for anything that could happen, but does ultimately trust her to be able to make her own decisions in that regard.

Who Are Etherians? Do They Reside On Nibiru or Rizq?
