Informed SpeculationStrong evidenceSumerian / Mesopotamian

The Connection

The Igigi are subordinate to the Anunnaki; they do the labor while the Anunnaki give orders. Eventually the Igigi rebel. The modified Andonites occupied this exact position: enhanced mortals working under the superhuman staff. Some remained loyal (Amadon), some defected.

Historical Evidence(Strong evidence)

Atrahasis Epic (c. 1800 BCE, from Sippar and Nineveh): The Igigi were subordinate beings performing grueling labor (excavating the Tigris and Euphrates) for the Anunnaki for 3,600 years before rebelling. Academic consensus identifies the Igigi as "a collective of subordinate deities performing menial labor for the higher-ranking Anunnaki." The hierarchy Anunnaki above Igigi mirrors corporeal staff above modified Andonites exactly.
