Who are the Anunnaki? One of the oldest mentions in archaeologically attested extant texts of these Anunnaki is in the Epic of Gilgamesh which records that the famous man of great wisdom (Noah) told Gilgamesh that the Anunnaki, literally the “sons of God”, were seven heavenly beings who made judgements on all things with great authority. The fact it was words ascribed to Noah in the Epic of Gilgamesh and other details in the epic are archaeologically attested by various finds and inscriptions suggests this is a good source for a proper understanding of the meaning of the term, possibly coming from Noah and possibly recorded not so long after his lifetime that people would all have forgotten his teachings. This teaching also agrees with other sources such as the “Descent of Inanna into the Underworld”. So it is worth comparing this description with the Book of Enoch and there we do find mention of seven archangels with top authority among the angels: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Saraqael and Remiel. These are not the only angels called sons of God but might have been the main seven taught about by Noah having learned it from Enoch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anunnaki
The perceotions of many have been that either the Anunnaki were gods worshipped as a pantheon in Suneria (an archeologist and historian interpretation) or that they were the Nephilim (a popular interpretation). Looking at the evidence there is a strong case that they were neither a pantheon nor a kind of race of demigod hybrids of humans and angels but were the same archangels as are mentioned and named in the Book of Enoch and other scriptures. There does not seem to have been a cult of worship of these powerful beings in Sumeria or early Babylonia. The use of the term “sons of God” in scriptures seems to be a translation of the word Anunnaki. The original meaning of this in the earliest Sumerian and Akkadian writings seems to be the topmost angels. The teaching was that at the top there were seven such heavenly beings with God (An) over them and effectively father of them. There is no reason to assume the original Enoch teachings in his original language would have said any differently except he perhaps was unique in naming the top seven, having interacted with them.
