An interesting bit of the nag hammadi text about the fall that you
will find near the last of the "fate magazine" article.
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 overlayed with a horny skin that was
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."

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.
The serpentlike 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
or serpent signifies 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: webbed, clawlike hands, large
golden
eyes with vertically slit pupils, and scaly, greenish-brown skin. Such
stories
have circulated around the UFO research community for 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
blondes; the reptilians; and hybrids (half-human and half-alien). In
addition,
there seem to be variations of each of these that imply crossbreeding
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 for 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 clawlike cuts and bruises on their bodies after their
apparent
abductions.
Carpenter summarized what he knows of these beings in his regular
column,
"Abduction Notes," MUFON UFO Journal, April 1993:"Typically, these
reptilian
creatures are reported to be about six to seven feet tall, upright,
with
lizardlike scales, greenish to brownish in color with clawlike,
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 serpentlike 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 per cent) of
the cases
being studied.
NOT OF THIS GALAXY
Whether the beings reported by abductees are Greys, blondes,
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 that 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 a 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 man 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 King 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 the 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, An, chief god of an extraterrestrial race called
the
Annunaki, 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 Noahlike 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
Annunaki till the soil and mine the ore for which they came to earth.
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 claylike substance, he was able
to "bind
upon it the image of the gods," indicating that Enki used Annunaki
genes to
create a hybrid species. It also implies that some of the early humans
may have
had a reptilian appearance.
This statue [not shown] of a biologically credible creature, created
by
Dr. Dale Russell of the Canadian National Museum of Natural Sciences,
shows what
evolution might have produced if dinosaurs had survived. Its
appearance is
similar to the beings reported by abductees. This photo [not shown]
was taken
from the book *The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence*, by
Edward
Ashpole, Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.
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*, the 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 10
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 toolmaking. Of course there is another
explanation, but
not one any mainstream scientist would dare consider. That alternative
is to
admit that God or godlike 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 brain 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 neocortex 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 man to fall from grace with the creator. If the
creator was
reptilian, then it could be that by becoming mammalian--and developing
a
neocortex--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 overlayed with a horny skin that was
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 all 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.
NOTE:
Joe Lewels is an independent researcher currently working on a book
dealing with UFOs and their religious implications. He is collecting
stories
about encounters with reptilians and invites readers with such
experiences to
write him in care of FATE. All letters will be forwarded to Lewels.

It's probably referring to the "Dagons." the Dagons was a race of reptillian
beings that came to earth.
that told in Genesis:"She took some of its fruit and ate, and she gave

of

them since

A better translation of the word "open" would be closed. It means closed to
spiritual things.
When it refers to "open" it means open to earthly things.

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 King 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 the 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, An, chief god of an
extraterrestrial race called the Annunaki, 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 Noahlike
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 Annunaki
till the soil and mine the ore for which they came to earth. 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 claylike
substance, he was able to "bind upon it the image of the gods," indicating
that Enki used Annunaki genes to create a hybrid species. It also implies
that some of the early humans may have had a reptilian appearance.
This statue [not shown] of a biologically credible creature, created by Dr.
Dale Russell of the Canadian National Museum of Natural Sciences, shows what
evolution might have produced if dinosaurs had survived. Its appearance is
similar to the beings reported by abductees. This photo [not shown] was
taken from the book *The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence*, by
Edward Ashpole, Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.
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*, the 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 10 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 toolmaking. Of
course there is another explanation, but not one any mainstream scientist
would dare consider. That alternative is to admit that God or godlike 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 brain 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 neocortex 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 man to fall from grace with the creator. If the creator was
reptilian, then it could be that by becoming mammalian--and developing a
neocortex--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 overlayed with a horny skin that was 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 all 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.
NOTE:
Joe Lewels is an independent researcher currently working on a book dealing
with UFOs and their religious implications. He is collecting stories about
encounters with reptilians and invites readers with such experiences to
write him in care of FATE. All letters will be forwarded to Lewels.
