Middle East “The possibility that an ancient reptilian-saurian race may exist below the surface of this planet is not an idea which is relatively new. This infernal yet physical race has been referred to in spiritual and histori- cal records which date back to the beginning of time. Ancient Hebrew history, for instance, records that our human ancestors were not the only intelligent, free-will beings who inhabited the ancient world. Genesis chapter 3 refers to the “Serpent,” which according to many ancient Hebrew scholars was identi- fied with a hominoid or bi-ped reptilian being. The ancient Hebrew word for “Serpent” is “Nachash” (which according to Strong's Comprehensive and other Biblical concordances contained in itself the meanings: Reptile, Enchantment, Hissing, Whisper, Diligently Observe, Learn by Experience, Incanta- tion, Snake, etc., all of which may be descriptive of the serpent-sauroid race which we have been refer- ring to). The original ““Nachash” was not actually a “snake” as most people believe, but actually an extremely intelligent, cunning creature possessed with the ability to speak and reason. It also stood upright as we've said, as did many of it's descendants, the small “saurian” predators which ambled about on two legs.” (from “The Cult of the Serpent” file, edited by Branton) In the book of Genesis Elohim punished the Serpent for deceiving Eve by ordering him to crawl on his stomach from that time on. They (Elohim) also created enmity between human and serpent race. The book of Revelation describes eschatological accounts when the enmity between human and serpent race escalates into an open conflict: “*...And there was war in heaven: Michael fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels... and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world...” (Rev. 12:7) There are other interesting biblical references to serpents and dragons in Psalms 44:19, 74:13, 148:7, Isaiah 13:22, etc. The Nagas are a race of serpent beings. Most often they manifest themselves with half-man, half-ser- pent bodies, although sometimes they assume the shape of a dragon, or appear in the guise of a cobra. They can take many different forms including snakes, humans with snake tails and normal humans, often beautiful maidens. A precious gem is embedded in their heads endowing them with supernatural powers including invisibility. Some are demoniac, some neutral or sometimes helpful. Nagas are divided into four classes: heavenly, divine, earthly or hidden, depending upon their function in guarding the heavenly palace, bringing rainfall, draining rivers or guarding treasures. In Burma, the Nagas combine elements of the dragon, snake and crocodile. They have guarded and pro- tected several royal Burmese personages. They also give rubies to those they favor. They inhabit lakes and rivers, but their real domain is a vast underground region called Bila-svarga, or subterranean heavens. There they guard great amounts of jewels and precious metals. Here they dwell with their seductive mates, the Naginis who sometimes seduce humans. One such account is to be found for example in the Mahabharata. Arjuna, the son of King Pandu, was “abducted” by Ulupi, the Naga princess who enamored him, into the parallel realm in the river Ganges near Hardwar. After spending a night with her and begetting a son called Iravan, he returned back. This incident is also mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana 9.22.32. R. Thompson in his book “Alien Identities” uses this account to give an example of parallel dimensions. 309 Appendix E: Dragons and Serpents Serpent in Scriptural Accounts India: Nagas of the Underworld Atlantis, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation
