These "Great Old Ones" lived before there were any men and came to the world from out of the sky are vaguely reminiscient of the Nephilim or the Elohim.

Nephilum is the Hebrew word for "giants" and literally means "fallen-down-ones" as it is said that these tall, celestial beings fell from the sky. The Nephilim then bred with humans and their descendants are often mentioned in the early books of the Old Testament. Eventually they were all killed off.

The Elohim are what the Sumerians called the Anunnaki. In Hebrew, Elohim means "God" or "those who from heaven to earth came." According to Zecharia Sitchin, the Anunnaki are from the planet Nibiru which is in our solar system and whose eliptical orbit brings it near the Earth once every 3600 years. The last time Nibiru was close enough to the Earth to be visible was at the time of Jesus' birth and is suspected as being the "Christmas Star." The Elohim are usually considered to be the creators of the human race.

According to Lovecraft, Chtulhu's dead body now lies under the sea, in the city of R'lyeh waiting for the stars to be ready for his return. When the time comes, he will call and the cult which worships the "Great Old Ones" will be there to liberate him.
