DID HUMANS EVOLVE FROM REPTILES?
As long as humanity has kept records of its existence, legends of a
serpent race have persisted. These myths tell of a mysterious
race of superhuman reptilian beings who descended from the heavens
to participate in creating humankind and to teach the sciences,
impart forbidden knowledge, impose social order, breed with us, and
watch over our development.
These serpent-like beings were not alone, but were
part of a retinue of super-beings thought to be gods by the
ancients. Yet, in cultures as widespread and diverse as those of
Sumeria, Babylonia, India, China, Japan, Mexico, and
Central America, reptilian gods have been feared and
worshipped. To this day, the dragon and serpent
signify divine heritage and royalty in many Asian countries,
while in the West, the serpent represents wisdom and knowledge. The
symbol of two serpents coiled around a staff (originally signifying
the tree of knowledge of ancient myth), known as the caduceus, is
today used by the American Medical Association as its logo.
Interestingly, stories of reptilian beings who
exercise mind-control over human captives while performing medical
procedures on them have been emerging from the research of some of
the best-known UFO investigators, such as Budd Hopkins,
John Carpenter, Linda Moulton Howe, Yvonne Smith,
and others. These stories, told by average, mentally competent
Americans, have emerged independently of one another in different
parts of the country, but have not yet received much public
attention. They tell of human encounters with creatures that have
distinctly reptilian features:
Such stories have circulated around the UFO research community for many years, but few experts
have had any idea of how to interpret the tales.
So unbelievable and so frightful are they that in the past, many
researchers merely filed them away in their minds for future
reference rather than risk looking foolish or being ridiculed.
Little by little, at UFO conferences around the
country, abductees and researchers learned of each other’s similar
experiences with reptilian creatures, and gradually the stories
become public.
Today, researchers agree that there is a variety of entities
involved in the alien abduction scenario, including the familiar
Greys; tall, human-looking blonds (Nordics);
the reptilians (Anunnaki); and hybrids (half-human
and half-alien). In addition, there seem to be variations of
each of these that imply cross-breeding and considerable diversity.
It is not clearly understood how each type interacts with the
others, although they are often reported seen together.
MUFON’s Findings
John Carpenter has kept close track of the abduction
phenomenon. He is the director of abduction research of the
Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), one of the largest and
most credible organizations dedicated to the scientific study of
UFOs and abductions. Carpenter holds a master’s
degree in social work and is a highly qualified hypnotherapist who
works as a psychiatric social worker in Springfield, Missouri.
Since
the late 1980s, he has worked with more than 100 abductees and
compiled information on hundreds of others. In addition, he is in
contact with other researchers in the field. He has been involved in
10 cases where experiencers have described reptilian entities, and
he is aware of researchers in other parts of the country with
similar cases. Abductees often have distinct claw-like cuts and
bruises on their bodies after their apparent abductions.
Carpenter summarized what he knows of these beings in his
regular column, "Abduction Note", MUFON UFO Journal,
April 1993:
"Typically, these reptilian
creatures are reported to be about six to seven feet
tall, upright, with lizard-like scales, greenish to brownish in
color with claw-like, four-fingered webbed hands. ... Their
faces are said to be a cross between a human and a snake, with a
central ridge coming down from the top of the head to the snout.
Adding to their serpent-like appearance are their eyes which
have vertical slits in their pupils and golden irises."
Perhaps the most frightening and most
controversial part of these stories are claims that the creatures
occasionally are reported to have sex with abductees.
Supporting Carpenter’s findings is a MUFON
study that had financial assistance from the Fund For UFO
Research. This massive study, known as the "Abduction
Transcription Project", is an attempt to collect and correlate
information on hundreds of abduction cases through the use of a
sophisticated computer database. In July 1995, at the organization’s
symposium in Seattle, Washington, Dan Wright summed up the
findings based on 142 separate cases and 560 transcripts. Wright
said,
"A fair reading of those sessions
indicates strongly that multiple groups of entities have been
routinely intruding into the lives of Americans -- children as
well as adults. ... When a so-called reptilian is repeatedly
described as having the same scaly skin tone, claws for fingers,
and an extreme interest in sexuality, one must pay attention."
The study’s preliminary results indicate
that reptilian types have been reported in a relatively small
percentage (less than 20 percent) of the cases being studied.
Not From This Galaxy
Whether the beings reported by abductees are Greys,
blonds, reptilians, or any other variety,
the scenario of the abduction phenomenon is fairly consistent among
the thousands of cases studied thus far. In addition to having
numerous medical procedures performed on them, abductees also report
receiving information in the form of symbols or images, the meaning
of which is often unclear, but much of it has to do with future
Earth disasters.
The beings sometimes refer to themselves as the "Watchers",
"Custodians", or "Guardians Of Mankind"
and all living things on Earth; and they say they are preparing for
the time in the near future when global changes will dramatically
affect life on our planet. In some cases, they have indicated that
they come from various parts of the Universe, including other
Galaxies, or from "a very distant place".
In what is certainly the most disturbing aspect of the procedures
reported, both men and women abductees, but most often women, report
being shown rooms filled with hundreds of glass tubes where hybrid
fetuses are being grown, much like a hydroponic garden. In
many cases, experiencers are shown nurseries of hybrid
infants or rooms full of hybrid children of varying ages. Often the
beings bring an infant or a child to the women to be held and loved,
and they are told it is their child.
These events were reported by alien-abductee
Betty
Andreasson Luca, whose case has been the subject of
investigation for more than 20 years, and who has been the subject
of four books by UFO investigator Ray Fowler.
In his book,
The Watchers, Fowler
reports on an hypnosis session in which Betty remembered
being told by the beings who had taken her aboard their ship that
"Man will become sterile" because of the polluted environment.
Further, she is told that there are "good and bad
Watchers",
which Betty refers to as "angels".
She is warned that there are some who are "against man, that
will hurt and destroy man".
Dead Sea Scrolls Evidence
References to Watchers, good and bad angels,
and hybrid babies can be found in many ancient texts
including the Old Testament, which borrowed much from older
documents, including the
Books of Enoch. The prophet Enoch is
mentioned in Genesis as the son of Cain and the father of
Methuselah, and he is believed to be one of the antediluvian
(pre-Flood) patriarchs who, along with Noah, "walked with
God" (Genesis 5:24; 6:9).
Books written by anonymous writers,
but credited to Enoch, were given great credence by early
Jewish scholars and thus influenced the writers of the Old
Testament. Parts of the Books of Enoch written in Aramaic
were found among the scraps of parchment in the caves of
Qumran in 1947, having been placed there nearly 2,000 years
ago by a Jewish sect known as the Essenes. These, of
course, are the Dead Sea Scrolls. Another version exists in
Ethiopian.
According to the Aramaic texts, "Enoch was the first
among the children of men born of the Earth who had learned writing,
science, and wisdom" from the angels. In one writing, the "Book
of the Watchers", we learn that
the
Watchers are
angels and that there are good and bad Watchers. We
are told that
the Watchers are angels of the
Lord, "come down to Earth to instruct the children of men and to
bring about justice and equity on Earth." But in the case of the
wicked or bad angels, the science they teach turns to wicked
ends because of their sins.
Their sin is that they permit their sexual appetite to dominate
them:
"When the evil Watchers descended and beheld the daughters of man, they
began to corrupt themselves with them. When the sons of God saw
the daughters of man, they could not restrain their
inclination."
These Watchers fall from grace
with God when Enoch travels to heaven in physical form
to testify against them. He tells God that the Watchers
"had begun to go unto the daughters of men, so that they became
impure". As punishment for the sins of the evil Watchers
against humankind, God destroys humanity, including the
hybrid race of beings who are the offspring of humans and
Watchers, by causing a great flood. The evil
Watchers are put into a fiery pit and imprisoned by the four
chiefs of the good Watchers, the Archangels Michael, Sariel, Rafael
and Gabriel.
Another interesting reference to the Watchers was found in the same
cave as the Books of Enoch, but was not known until
1992, when two Biblical scholars, Robert Eisenman and
Michael Wise, published their book, The Dead Sea Scrolls
Uncovered.
Among the 50 documents released for the first time in this book is a
reference to the Watchers that is unique, for it
provides one of the few physical descriptions of them. The text,
called the "Testament of Amram", describes the experience of
a person named Amram in which "an angel and a demon" were
wrestling over his soul:
"[I saw Watchers] in my vision, the
dream-vision. Two [men] were fighting over me. I asked them,
’who are you, that you are thus empowered over me?’ They
answered me, ’We [have been em]powered and rule over all
Mankind.’ They said to me, ’Which of us do yo[u] choose to rule
[you]?’ I raised my eyes and looked. [One] of them was
terrifying in his appearance, [like a s]erpent, [his] cl[oak]
many colored yet very dark. ... [And I looked again], and ... in
his appearance, his visage like a viper. ... [I replied to him,]
’This [watcher,] who is he?’ He answered me, ’This Wa[tcher,]
... [and his three names are Belial and Prince of Darkness] and
Kind of Evil.’"
What makes this testament even more
intriguing is the fact that this little-known character named
Amram is quite an important personage. Amram, it turns
out, was the father of one of the most famous contactees in history,
the man who delivered the Jews from slavery in
Egypt. This person is, of course, none other than Moses!
Extraterrestrial Reptile Gods
If that were the only reference to reptilian beings in ancient
texts, it could easily be dismissed, but the stories of such
creatures date back to the earliest human writings, those of
Sumer (meaning "land of the guardians"), Babylon
(meaning "gate of the gods"), and other civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia. Among the thousands of
clay tablets that have been recovered and translated dating from
earliest recorded history, are documents that record events dating
back 240,000 years.
One of these, the
Sumerian King List, tells
the story of the god, Anu, chief god of an extraterrestrial
race called
the Anunnaki, and
his sons, Enki and Enlil. It is clear from the texts
and the illustrations left by the Sumerians that at least some of
these "gods", including Enki (also known as Ea),
were reptilian in appearance. It is Enki who gave the
first people the fruit of the tree of knowledge and who later
saved humanity by warning a Noah-like figure of
the great flood.
These stories are so similar to the Old Testament that one can only
conclude that the Old Testament authors borrowed heavily from them.
In the Sumerian tale, Enki is given the task of creating a
worker force to help the Anunnaki till the soil and
mine the ore which they came to Earth for. This he does through
considerable trial and error, in the process creating strange
creatures.
The legend implies that Enki possessed a highly
advanced technology that included the capability of genetically
altering the indigenous species. Using a mysterious process to
create a clay-like substance, he was able to "bind upon it the image
of the gods", indicating that Enki used Anunnaki genes to create a hybrid species. It also
implies that some of the early humans may have had a reptilian
appearance.
Our Reptilian Ancestors
As ridiculous and repugnant as this sounds, it is commonly accepted
by modern science that humankind’s early ancestors may have been
reptiles. According to the Darwinian explanation of the
origins of the human species, mammals evolved from
reptiles and gained dominion over the Earth only after a
great disaster of debatable nature destroyed the dinosaurs. It is
theorized that only then were mammals able to proliferate and
ultimately evolve into intelligent beings. It is rather remarkable
that the ancient Sumerian story of creation should parallel
so closely the Darwinian view.
In both cases, humans
are said to be related to a superior reptilian race and, in both
cases, a great cataclysm eradicates the earlier species. (In The
Bible, it was the hybrid race of giants known as the
Nephilim that God wished to destroy.) Finally, in both
stories, the survivors of the disaster start anew, eventually
evolving into humans.
In his book,
The Dragons Of Eden, esteemed astronomer Dr.
Carl Sagan speculates on the reptilian origins of humans
and on the mysterious leap in brain evolution that can be found in
the fossil record. He notes that if people had evolved naturally
from reptiles, as Darwinists claim, it should have
taken 200 million years for mammals to first evolve, and then
another five to ten million years for humans to evolve. But he
notes, with extreme puzzlement, that the fossil record simply does
not bear out this conclusion. In fact, the evolvement of mammals,
and particularly humans, was accomplished very
quickly, "in a major burst of brain evolution".
The evidence for this is clear in the fact that stone tools do not
appear gradually, but rather "they appear in enormous abundance
all at once". In frustration, Sagan concludes that
"there is no way to explain this unless Australopithecines had
educational institutions," to teach tool-making. Of course, there is
another explanation, but not one that any mainstream scientist would
dare to consider. That alternative is to admit that God or
god-like beings had a hand in accelerating the evolutionary
process.
The Reptile Part Of The Brain
Sagan goes on to puzzle over the similarities between the
reptilian brain and the human brain. He points out that
at the core of the human brain lies a vestige of our reptilian
past. This part of the brain, known as the R-complex
(reptilian complex), is said to be the part of the
mind that performs the dinosaur functions -- aggressive
behavior, territoriality, ritual, and establishment of social
hierarchies.
The middle layer is called the limbic system
and is thought to generate love, hate, compassion, and
sentimentality-characteristics believed to be strictly mammalian.
The largest part of the human brain, the neo-cortex or
outer layer, is believed to be the home of reasoning and
deliberation and "the place where we know the difference between
good and evil".
Once again, science seems to agree with the ancient creation myths,
for it was the knowledge of good and evil (given to them by a
serpent) that caused first woman and then man to fall from grace
with their creator. If the creator was reptilian, then
it could be that by becoming mammalian -- and developing a
neo-cortex -- humanity became less reptilian, thus falling from
grace.
Other ancient texts bear out this disturbing conclusion. In 1945, in
a small town in Egypt, a clay jar was found bearing
ancient scrolls similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls. These
are known as
the Nag Hammadi Texts, named after the town
where they were found. They tell the story of human creation this
way: The bodies of Adam and Eve were overlaid with a
horny skin that was as bright as daylight, like a luminescent
garment. Thus, it seems, they didn’t need clothing. Further,
these texts tell a far different story about the tree of
knowledge than that told in Genesis:
"She took some of its fruit and ate,
and she gave to her husband also. ... Then their minds opened.
For when they ate, the light of knowledge shone for them. When
they saw their makers, they loathed them since they were beastly
forms. They understood very much."
In another ancient Jewish document,
known as The Haggadah, it is made clear that the
serpent was not merely a snake:
"Among the animals, the serpent
was notable. Of all of them, he had the most excellent
qualities, in some of which he resembled man. Like man, he stood
upright on two feet, and in height, he was equal to the
camel. ... His superior mental gifts caused him to become
an infidel. It likewise explains his envy of man, especially his
conjugal visits. ... In punishment for tempting Eve,
God said, ’I created you to be king over the animals ... but
you were not satisfied. ... I created you of upright posture ...
therefore, you shall go upon your belly.’"
These tantalizing clues from the
dim past seem to give at least some support for the idea that
today’s UFO occupants, reptilian or
otherwise, are exactly who they say they are -- the ancient
guardians of Humankind. If that is so, then the theory that
UFOs are piloted by aliens from other planets must be
carefully re-evaluated. But, whatever the answer is, it is clear
that UFO researchers have their hands full in dealing
with this enduring and perplexing mystery.

"criminal" nature --
