| “As I lay still with closed eyes, free to ponder, many things I had lightly noted in the frescoes came back to me with new and terrible significance—scenes representing the nameless city in its heyday, the vegetation of the valley around it, and the distant lands with which its merchants traded. The allegory of the crawling creatures puzzled me by its universal prominence, and I wondered that it should be so closely followed in a pictured history of such importance. In the frescoes the nameless city had been shewn in proportions fitted to the reptiles. I wondered what its real proportions and magnificence had been, and reflected a moment on certain oddities I had noticed in the ruins. I thought curiously of the lowness of the primal temples and of the underground corridor, which were doubtless hewn thus out of deference to the reptile deities there honoured; though it perforce reduced the worshippers to crawling. Perhaps the very rites had involved a crawling in imitation of the creatures. No religious theory, however, could easily explain why the level passage in that awesome descent should be as low as the temples—or lower, since one could not even kneel in it. As I thought of the crawling creatures, whose hideous mummified forms were so close to me, I felt a new throb of fear. Mental associations are curious, and I shrank from the idea that except for the poor primitive man torn to pieces in the last painting, mine was the only human form amidst the many relics and symbols of primordial life. Turning, I saw outlined against the luminous aether of the abyss what could not be seen against the dusk of the corridor—a nightmare horde of rushing devils; hate-distorted, grotesquely panoplied, half-transparent; devils of a race no man might mistake—the crawling reptiles of the nameless city.” The reader is left with an idea of “half-transparent devils.” This is precisely what the reptilians are said to be. Now that the reader has heard of all the preconditioning that took place before the cinema screens. It really started with H.G. Wells, The Shape of Things to Come, but that’s not racy enough for this book. Nobody wants to read about “Wings Over the World,” I’m sure, right about now, so we’ll just move along. I recommend this film for sci-fi fans. The Sci-Fi UFO Invasion What I will refer to as “the mythology of the reptilians” is a story that has been ongoing, in my estimation, for about 70 years. Let’s remember, we are talking about “serpent gods” now, or “alien gods.” Both were fitting titles for this book, but I went with alien gods because I felt that alienation from the mother goddess mushroom was a defining difference, gods and goddesses were always “alien” to neighboring tribes, and aliens are something big on the public mind these days, more so than serpent gods. Though the concept of sci-fi aliens have permeated Hollywood since its inception, the concept of “reptilian” aliens has been more limited, Both have been intentionally introduced into film |
and movies for the same purpose. The past does not show a history of reptile aliens, so one needed to be created based on old mythologies of mushrooms similar to how one would create an “overlay” to place on top and help partially cover something up. We see the simultaneous introduction of both UFO and reptilians around the same time, the 1950’s. As soon as the flying saucer was in development and Nazis were in the CIA, Hollywood went to work creating a steady barrage of “predictive programming” on the American and global public. 1950: Rocketship XM tells the story of a moon expedition where the occupants end up on Mars instead and find “the remnants of a Martian civilization destroyed long ago by atomic war and now reverted to barbarism.” 1951: The Day the Earth Stood Still was released in 1951. A humanoid alien named Klaatu arrives on Earth, along with an imposing robot named Gort, to deliver an important message to mankind that will affect the entire human race. When Worlds Collide, featured a plot concerning the extinction of mankind on earth due to a rogue star headed on a crash collision with Earth. Humanity builds an “ark” ship to survive and leave the planet. 1953: War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells, is one of the earliest stories ever written which confronts the issue of human vs extraterrestrials. The book was originally written between 1895 and 1897. The plot revolves around dwindling resources on Mars and a planned invasion of the earth. A meteor soon lands and it’s actually a type of pod craft from which aliens emerge. Invaders from Mars is one of the scarier films. A saucer lands and is seen entering below the earth’s surface, underground. People start acting strange, and soon, an invasion plot is uncovered and the Army discovers mutants have been implanting human victims with mind control crystals at the base of their skulls. It Came from Outer Space featured a plot in which the aliens are “able to shape shift into human form in order to appear human and move around Sand Rock, unobserved, in order to collect their much needed repair materials.” (5) (5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Came_from_Outer_Space |
