A highly original work that deals a shattering blow to all our preconceived notions about our past and human origins. Worldwide legends refer to giant flying lizards and dragons that came to this planet and founded the ancient civilizations of Mesopo-tamia, Egypt, India and China. Who were these reptilian creatures? This book provides the answers to many of the riddles of history such as: What was the real reason for man's creation? Why did Adam lose his chance at immortality in the Garden of Eden? Who were the Nefilim who descended from heaven and mated with human women? Why did the serpent take such a bum rap in history? Why didn't Adam and Eve wear clothes in Eden? What were the "crystals" or "stones" that the ancient gods fought over? Why did the ancient Sumerians call their major gods USHUMGAL, which means literally "great fiery, flying serpent?" What was the role of the gigantic stone platform at Baalbek? What were the "boats of heaven" in ancient Egypt and the "sky chariots" of the Bible?
I disregard many of the reviews by people whom, through the lens of Jesuit & Rockefeller coerced & curated (f)education, ridicule authors like R.A.Boulay and other proponents of alternative and esoteric history & anthropology, for simply putting forth so many interesting questions (because that's the only thing Boulay openly admits he does, often throughout this work) - questions put forth in light of enigmatic and thought-provoking references and citations are all from mythological, as well as copious, historical, anthropological and archaeological records and sources.
Some people will perhaps only read the cover and introduction and dismiss it as soon as any of the slightest information challenges their belief systems, preconceived notions, or normalcy biases. Those kinds of people, I'm sure, are some of the ones who reviewed this book so negatively without any constructive criticism or plausible rebuttal. It's sad to see how programmed and indoctrinated the vast majority of humanity has become from the ills of dogma, indoctrination, propaganda-programming from unsubstantiated theories that have become the status-quo - the main root cause of all of it simply being ignorance; not to mention the laziness and conformity that results from such acquiescence and lack of critical thinking or lack of information gathering to either confirm or debunk something. Too many people just take what's spoon fed to them all their lives and settle for it unquestioningly. For those people, I like to offer a great Einstein quote and one of my personal favorites, and that is:
"Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance"
On a positive note - I found this book to be a very interesting gathering of information and collection of obscure and remotely antiquated information such as apocryphal & pseudipigraphical biblical texts, mythological legendry from around the world, and many other various antiquated texts as well as much anthropological and archaeological data - much of the kind we weren't exactly taught in bible school, or public school. I am of the school of thought that this has been deliberate in order to keep us from gleaning any proper assessments of deeper mysteries and greater truths.
The author clearly cites a wellspring of fascinating sources and cross-references them, as any good comparative mythologist and historian should, and does so rather plausibly so as to shed new light on even the more popular accounts in scripture and even proposing a whole new interpretation that make the long-standing scholarly, status-quo interpretations seem vague and incomplete at best. The information is also organized in a sequential order that piques ones interest even as one moves from one chapter of information to the next. The information, although eclectic as it spans from different cultures and time periods, interestingly ties together in several respects, and it is this synchronicity that makes the information all the more remarkable.
For those of you who continue to seek truth and enlightenment because you understand that an open mind makes for a lifelong pursuit of deeper knowledge and greater wisdom, I leave you with these Socrates quotes:
"True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us."
"The only real wisdom is knowing you know nothing"
It may seem like a stretch to be open to the possibility that we humans were seeded by reptilian aliens and that many of the references in the Bible such as fiery chariots, angels and so on were the authors' ways of describing rocket ships and alien astronauts. Unlike the Bible, there is other data from the time period starting way before 4000 BC that support the author's premise. The book has more detail than I would like, but it was a fascinating read, and it further reinforced a growing belief of mine that there is no truth; there is only what we believe to be true.
I have researched the reptilian theory of human creation and control over the last couple of years. I currently have about 15 to 20 books in my library by various authors covering this topic. The evidence from all civilizations around the world speaks for itself. This book by Boulay has to be one of my top favorites behind Icke's Children of the Matrix and Bramley's The Gods of Eden. Boulay's research on the subject is much deeper and detailed than Zecharia Sitchin. I would even say of all the books I have read covering the subject Boulay and Icke are at the top. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in human creation and evolution.
The Sumerian people referred to these gods as Anunna, literally the sons of An, their chief god and leader. Their later Semitic name was Anunnaki. We will show that the Annunna were an alien race of sapient reptiles. They required a labor force to do the necessary menial work and for this reason a primitive man was created - R.A. Boulay
The author does an excellent job revealing information in ancient texts and scriptures, which was most likely mistranslated and even intentionally misrepresented. This book is a great addition to the works of Zecharia Sitchin and Michael Tsarion and others who are working to unravel humanities true origins. Many fundamentalists may have to widen their perceptions and beliefs before reading this book.
For anyone interested in piercing the self imposed veil of dogma and religion, spiritually inclined or scientifically inclined, this is a must read for all and shoukd be mandatory in last 2 years of senior schools. Bit thin on the conclusion though: why not explore concept of hyperdimensions within holographic universe?
That is a very interesting book, that makes the case that the Anunnaki and early gods of humanity, that were involved in the manipulation of our genes were in fact reptilians. The book focuses on the experience of the Near East, but it also mentions the Far East with the Chinese dragons, and also the Mayan and the Olmec are quoted. All in all the examples and the exerts from the texts are really interesting, still, the case is not strong enough as there are so many representations of the early gods that are not reptilians. The whole book is fascinating and it does send some chilling sensations down the spine.
Excellent research that gives weight to Ickes reptilian theory. Even for none believers , I learnt a lot about the history of the earth and ancient society's and religion.
If it's true - it's amazing. But also, sort of killed my hope that "Gods" are smarter than us. Seems like there is as much infighting among them as we have between ourselves. No hope, really.
