Mythos:
The Anu Sinom are a most ancient race, recorded in the legends of the Hopi peoples of the New World plains. In an ancient time, far beyond memory, the planet of Earth was utterly destroyed, first by fire, then by ice. During these calamities, the Hopi remember that the Gods led our most ancient ancestors into the arms of the Anu Sinom, the Ant Friends. The Anu Sinom gave refuge to the ancient humans in subterranean caverns, where they taught the young humans the sciences of architecture and agriculture, so that mankind would never again fear disaster and thrive to populate the surface world. There are those who believe that the Hopi's memory of Anu Sinom also appear in the distant Fertile Crescent, as a race of gods known as the Anunnaki. The Anunakki were divine beings descended from Anu, the Sky, but migrated to live in the subterranean Underworld. Even the incredibly ancient Fertile Crescent civilizations refered to the Anunnaki as The Old Gods.
Alt Names: Anunnaki, Formian, Formican, Antling, Emmet, Myrmex, Myrmidon, Marabunta, Dorylus, Eciton, Siafu, Legion,

Insight:
I wanted to make an ant-race, since I've been in love with that idea for a long time. I love Hollow Earth stories, and I feel like ant people or giant intelligent ants fit in fantastically. I was originally going to call them Myrmidons, but this was kind of a stretch, so I went looking for any other mythical ants, and found the legend of the Anu Sinom, which also has the bonus of adding to my New World collection. The Anu Sinom are popular in ancient alien contact theories, and I have to admit, the idea of ant-like aliens coming to Earth, creating an underground settlement to avoid contaminating the natural order and then sheltering and guiding the early humans when they realize that humans might be sentient would make an awesome plotline.
