Various theories allege the existence of reptilian humanoids or dinosauroids. None has yet been generally accepted, though this of course does not rule out the possibility the possibility that these theories describe actual phenomena. Some researchers more moderate on the issue have suggested that there is a roughly equal proportion of evidence for and against claims of reptiloids and other such nonhumans (though most researchers involved in this field are either strongly for or strongly against the theories, with view in between).


An image of a theoretical evolved reptilian sculpted by the esteemed paleontologist, Dale Russell, with the assistance of Ron Seguin in 1982. Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Canada. It is supposed to represent what an evolved troodon might look like, based on fossil evidence. Dubbed 'Russell-Man', its apparent purpose was to illustrate the possibility that dinosaurs evolved into a humanoid species, using the troodon (Stynonychosaurus inequalis) as an example.

Theories Dealing With the Nature of the Reptiloids

There are various theories on the nature of these reptiloid beings, giving possible explanations as to whether they exist (and if so what evidence supports their existence), what their intentions are (in general), etc.

Several ancient peoples the world over described reptilian beings, and it appears that overall they were thought to be a neutral species. That is, neither benevolent or malevolent. There are myths about reptiloids devouring human children, and also tales of Serpents of Wisdom enlightening Humankind (such as the story of Gukumatz).

David Icke claims that many people see reptilian humanoids or dinosauroids, and that beings of this species are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at the manipulation and control of Humankind. He is not the only one to express such opinions. Paul Shockley, a psychic, also speaks of malevolent reptilian beings. However, both explain that they do not believe that all reptilians are malevolent, and that there are benevolent members of this species as well. Just as the majority of humans treat animals like an expendable resource, but a minority believes that they deserve rights, and should not be treated the way they currently are (kept on farms and often killed for food).

Icke claims that this theoretical dinosauroid resembles one type of reptilian entity that many people see during encounters. He theorises that perhaps the reptilians evolved on this planet from dinosaurs or other such reptilian or reptile-like ancestors, and were the original tool-making race to evolve on Earth. He regards this as only one of many theories, however, and has others regarding where the reptilians came from.

Zecharia Sitchin, an archaeologist and linguist specialising in the Sumerian and Hebrew languages, claims that an ancient race of extraterrestrials, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered the original humans, and that they probably still exist in some form or another, with some degree of influence over humankind. These beings are speculated by Sitchin to be either reptilian, quasi-reptilian, or amphibious, from ancient description.

Similarly, the science fiction writer Philip K. Dick spoke of contact with three-eyed amphibious beings from Sirius, as well as their connection to the Soviets and the Illuminati. This was detailed in VALIS. He related them to the Nommo of the Dogon people of Africa. Besides Dick's semi-fictional books from his later life (including VALIS) based on his personal experiences, an enormous amount of science fiction postulates the existence of reptilian humanoids. Examples include the Gorn and the Voths from Star Trek.

Erich von Däniken theorises that extraterrestrials have influenced human history for millenia, and that they may have influenced human evolution.

Robert Anton Wilson speaks of the Illuminati in half-serious tone. He once claimed to have contacted three-eyed beings from Sirius.

Timothy Leary claimed contact with three-eyed beings from Sirius.

Pythagoras' life was filled with synchronicities regarding serpents, particularly winged and speaking serpents, as well as a massive beast called Python, a giant serpent for which he may have been named. Interestingly, Timothy Leary, R.A. Wilson and Philip K. Dick all have called themselves Pythagoreans.

The Greek historian Herodotus also described odd serpents in his accounts, which are widely regarded as the first serious works of historical recording known. Much of the information given to us by Herodotus is the basis for our opinions on the history of the Ancient Greeks. This is an excerpt from his history in which he describes what might be pteradons (suggesting that some dinosaurs survived the theoretical catastrophe, which also suggests therefore that dinosauroids of some kind may have evolved):

"In the neighbourhood of Thebes there are some sacred serpents which are perfectly harmless. They are of small size, and have two horns growing out of the top of the head. These snakes, when they die, are buried in the temple of Jupiter, the god to whom they are sacred.

I went once to a certain place in Arabia, almost exactly opposite the city of Buto, to make inquiries concerning the winged serpents. On my arrival I saw the back-bones and ribs of serpents in such numbers as it is impossible to describe: of the ribs there were a multitude of heaps, some great, some small, some middle-sized. The place where the bones lie is at the entrance of a narrow gorge between steep mountains, which there open upon a spacious plain communicating with the great plain of Egypt. The story goes that with the spring the winged snakes come flying from Arabia towards Egypt, but are met in this gorge by the birds called ibises, who forbid their entrance and destroy them all. The Arabians assert, and the Egyptians also admit, that it is on account of the service thus rendered that the Egyptians hold the ibis in so much reverence.

The ibis is a bird of a deep-black colour, with legs like a crane; its beak is strongly hooked, and its size is about that of the land-rail. This is a description of the black ibis which contends with the serpents. The commoner sort, for there are two quite distinct species, has the head and the whole throat bare of feathers; its general plumage is white, but the head and neck are jet black, as also are the tips of the wings and the extremity of the tail; in its beak and legs it resembles the other species. The winged serpent is shaped like the water-snake. Its wings are not feathered, but resemble very closely those of the bat. And thus I conclude the subject of the sacred animals."

Interesting... So if he speaks of such creatures, and we rely on his accounts of more 'plausible' history, why not at least investigate his claims of the paranormal? It seems that these accounts were taken seriously for centuries, up until the 19th century or so, when such things as The Law of Octaves were frowned upon as 'mystical' and 'irrational'... Interestingly, however, the Law of Octaves, itself devised by Pythagoras, was the basis for the uncannily familiar Periodic Table of the Elements, as well as many of Nikola Tesla's theories on electricity. In fact, since the 19th century, mysticism and science have begun to conjoin once again, especially in cosmological fields like Quantum Mechanics. Superstring Theory almost directly mimics a Gnostic cosmology, which was based upon ideas put forth by...Pythagoras...

Clearly denying the mystical is not the way to go if one wants to seek scientific truths... As Science itself suggests, all claims must be investigated, none denied, and all must be treated as theory...
