In Hebrew "Elohim" in the plural form of the noun has the conotation of majesty or excellence and is used for God as in the true God, whilst the use of the same word in the singular is always with reference to false gods. So the word has the meaning of "God" a title weather in reference to the true God or to a deity with no real power.
Interestingly, the Hebrew scriptures whilst referring to God as Elohim also use the name “Jehovah” almost 7,000 times. This is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars.
As for "Annunaki`" this is of Babylonish origin and refers to more than one:
After death the souls of men were supposed to continue in existence. The place to which they were thought to have gone is called the “land of no return". There they lived in dark rooms amid the dust and the bats covered with a garment of feathers, and under the dominion of Nergal and Eresh-kigal. When the soul arrived among the dead he had to pass judgment before the judges of the dead, the Annunaki.
I hope this clears it up for you.

"El" or "Eloah" is the most simple name for “God” in the Old Testament. The use of "El" was common in the Semitic language family, being found in the writings of Phoenicia, Babylonia, Sumer and Arabia. It is related to the Arabic "Allah," the root of which meant “to be smitten with fear.” "El" was used to refer to any supernatural power in the ancient Semitic world (which includes Sumer), as well as to the supreme absolute Being. The plural form of "El" and "Eloah" is "Elohim" and is thought to have been used to emphasize the majesty, eminence, greatness or fullness of God.
In the ancient Babyonian creation epic (The Enuma Elish), the term "Annunaki " is taken from the Sumerian "Anu" (Heaven) and "Ki" (Earth). So in the Enuma Elish, Annunaki" is roughly equivalent to Genesis' "Heavens and the Earth." (i.e.: "In the beginning, God(s) (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth (Hashamayim ve'et ha' eretz / Anu-na-ki).
So, "Elohim" and "Annunaki" are not identical
hope this helps

is there anything to make you think so? or are you on the "all roads lead to heaven" kick that deludes so many?
Do the Sumerians have a Holy Book to lead them to salvation through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ ?
if not, then no, Jesus is still the Way, Truth and Life. No man comes to the Father except bu Jesus
