The Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis is a symbolic-metaphysical model that reinterprets ancient Mesopotamian deities as representations of foundational layers of reality rather than literal beings. In this hypothesis, Abzu represents the primordial void of potential, Nammu the undifferentiated generative substrate, Enki the principle of order, intelligence, and structure, Aya the mediating force of manifestation and transformation, and Anki the totalized cosmic system integrating heaven and earth. The hypothesis proposes that ancient myth encoded an early extraphysical ontology describing the emergence of reality through layered abstraction.
In a cosmological model, Abzu corresponds to dimension 11 (void of possibilities), Nammu to infinite probability, Enki to law-forming dynamics, Aya to interface layers between realms, and Anki to the unified multiversal structure governing all levels of existence. According to Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis.

Anki Hypothesis

A unified field theory of mythology and physics proposing that the core narratives of ancient creation myths (like the Sumerian union of An heaven and Ki earth) are not primitive metaphors, but intuitive, phenomenological descriptions of fundamental cosmic processes that modern physics is only now quantifying. It argues that myth preserves a pre-scientific, experiential understanding of reality's deep structure—the separation of unity into duality (forces/particles, spacetime/matter), the role of chaos (Tiamat) and order (Marduk), and the cyclic nature of creation and destruction. Myth is seen as the human mind's first draft of theoretical physics, encoded in story.
Example: The Anki Hypothesis reads the Enuma Elish (Babylonian creation epic) as a topological allegory. The slaying of the chaos dragon Tiamat by the storm god Marduk is not just a story, but an intuitive depiction of symmetry breaking in the early universe—the transition from a hot, uniform plasma (Tiamat) to a structured cosmos with distinct laws and domains (Marduk's ordered creation). The hypothesis suggests ancient seers, through ritual and trance, perceived the universe's deep patterns and encoded them in the only language durable enough to last millennia: myth.
