The history of mankind begins long before the appearance of the first civilized humans. Alalu, eighth king of Nibiru, lands on Earth in search of a metal that is vital for his homeland - gold - and is followed by other settlers. In order to mine the important precious metal, Enki, a scholar of Nibiru, interferes with the native apes to provide them with a workforce. However, this experiment gets out of hand, leading to fratricide and the development of a life of their own and primitive intelligence among the workers. After a devastating flood, the humans set up settlements and buildings, and the settlers of Nibiru are soon confronted with different interests and ambitions.
