Flying Serpents and Dragons: The Story of Mankind's Reptilian Past (Paperback)

by R. A. Boulay (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A highly original work that deals a shattering blow to all our preconceived notions about our past and human origins.

World-wide legends refer to giant flying lizards and dragons which came to this planet and founded the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, 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?

From the Publisher
This book is a revised edition of "Flying Serpents and Dragons" which was published by the author in 1990, and incorporates new material which has since become available. In addition, much related matter has been added from Dragon Power, the author's second book on the subject.

Although it is not a new notion that our gods and ancestors were probably alien reptile forms, "Flying Serpents and Dragons" was the first (and only) comprehensive in-depth study based on ancient documents, both religious and secular. In this work, no attempt has been made to provide supporting physical evidence, which is beyond the purview of this book.

Without the groundwork laid by three great writers who had a powerful influence on this author, this work would not have been possible. They are Velikovsky, von Daniken, and Sitchin. Immanuel Velikovsky reintroduced the theory of catastrophic evolution in the 1950's for which he was vilified by mainstream science. His revised chronology is used in this book and it was an invaluable help in putting all the pieces together. Erich von Daniken introduced a whole generation to the idea that our ancestors may have come from outer space and that their presence was world-wide; an idea which seems to have taken firm hold today. Zecharia Sitchin who, in his series on the Anunnaki called The Earth Chronicles, described in detail who these extraterrestrials who colonized the land of Mesopotamia were, and how they created modern man as a slave race.

When "Flying Serpents and Dragons" came out in 1990, the idea of our ancestors being reptiles seemed to be complete fantasy. However, events have transpired since then which have softened the impact of this work and today it is debated world-wide and even suggested that indeed our ancestors may have been reptilian astronauts. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, March 5, 2006

By	Elak Swindell "Movie Addict" (Georgia USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ever since I was around five years old, my life has been one of seeking out the hidden history of the past. Knowledge that has been covered up by organized religions and scientists. What steered me in this direction was a passage from some kid's book my mother read to me during my developmental years concerning Adam and the Garden of Eden. The only thing from the story that cemeted itself strongly in my mind was a description about the dusts used to create Adam. It read "The dust was of various colors - red, black, white and green. Red was for the blood, black for the bowels, white for the bones and green for the pale skin." At that point, my mind went down a divergent path of thinking, trying to understand why the color green for skin? That shouldn't have been right. Why wasn't it pink or brown?

Years later, in the mid 1990s, I was directed to the first publication of R.A. Boulay's book that he had on the web at the time (still have it all in Word document form, cleaned up and finished by myself since he never completed the last four chapters. So I transcribed them from the second edition book). Many things in one's life go full circle and this is a case of that situation. There, in the book, to my amazement and delight, was the secret behind Adam's description I had heard so long ago in my youth. It was from the Jewish Haggadah and delt with the first Adam, not the genetic creation that came afterward, which we call a Cro-magnon and looked like modern man does today. I've always believed that there was a race of reptilian beings not of this world that resided on the Earth so many thousands of years ago. The evidence of their involvement in mankind is felt in every culture worldwide and can not be denied. I knew, deep within, that we never had any connections to the dinosaurs. How could we? They all died off. Evolution does exist, but not mankind from dinosaurs. But a reptilian star race does follow a similiar line of genetic origin. Even Carl Sagan, the well-known and respected astronomer, knew that Cro-magnon man could not have evolved from the Neanderthals without outside assistance in genetics. The change is way to dramatic and quick. Also, Cro-magnon man was living at the same time as the Neanderthals.

R.A. Boulay's book is a treasure trove of hidden historical knowledge that is a must read for anyone seeking the truth behind the veil of misinformation that organized religions and scientists have stood so firm on for centuries. I've always been one to question life, the universe and everything; to think up theories about this or that on historical subjects like what is disclosed in this great book. I've never had a theory shot down yet. When I think one up, evidence to support it is normally found. Nearly everything in Boulay's book was once something I thought and theorized about. Then his first edition, and now this better second version that also includes his novel on Dragons (which are purely symbolic of the Annuna race), came along and totally gave foundation to all the ideas I had about history. The same goes for Graham Hancock's superb "Fingerprints of the Gods" and Erich von Daniken's "The Eyes of the Sphinx".

If you desire to know about the Annunaki, the reptilian race that assisted and hampered the development of human evolution and civilzation (they aren't the only star race to be involved though), then this book is a must own. I HIGHLY recommend and love this book. Boulay went to great lengths to search out detailed information on everything he can find about the Anunna from the Middle Eastern, African, Egyptian, Indonesian, Chinese, South American and Native American cultures. Each one was founded or damaged by the involvement with the Annunaki and have based their religions and myths on their culture and activities. Some Annuna were favorable toward mankind, like Enki, while others were destroyers of cities, like Adad (also known as Yahweh and Jehovah). Their technology was highly advanced, though we are getting very close to their many scientific and technological achievements in today's society with genetic manipulation, plastics, computer advancements, aircraft, and many other things.

You will not be disappointed in purchasing this book. It will open your eyes to knowledge about the Earth's true past in relations to star races like the Anunna and the Sirians. This is a true historical book loaded with information, photos, sketches and references to the Anunna and their hybrid ancestors. Scientists are still finding evidence of their destructive technologies today in Middle Eastern archaelogical digs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flying Serpents and Dragons, May 6, 2003

By	Robert M. Leone "Bleary Eyes" (SUNBURY, OHIO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

OK. I have spent years studing off-beat stuff like this and the more I read the more I find puzzle pieces fitting together. This book takes the ancient past and helps make sense of a lot of the biblical stories. Now, no one will lose their faith over this book if they are basically Christian, because, the old testament is not the new...after all, JC himself said that he came not to uphold the old law, but to establish a new law. And the new law is what Christians believe in...(or should). If you have a passing belief that man was started by the Annunuki as described in "the 12th planet", then this book will reinforce that belief, but give you a twist that you really wouldn't expect. Upon absorption of the books contents, you won't read the old testament in the same manner again, I will grant you that. I might suggest that as an additional read to go along with this book, you should look at "Rule By Secrecy". It will further answer questions, and is by far, the best book on conspiracy stuff...you know...the illuminati, Tri-lateral, Knights Templar...and so forth...well put together and fun/easy to read.
No little green men here. But maybe big green lizards, yes.
4 stars instead of 5 only because the last 40 pages or so tend to cram a bit too much info from other sources into it. Boring if you have read the other books that it is taken from, otherwise, eye-opening for the novice.
You will have a good time with this one. Veritos Vos Liberati!

3.0 out of 5 stars Flying Serpents and Whatnow?, March 20, 2000

By	Justin Holguin (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

Yes, yes it does seem like a weird book. And it is, trust me it is a weird book. But it's also rather interesting... he puts forth some actual evidence to support that at least as far as mythology is concerned we were created by these "serpent gods". I'd recommend it to anyone with weird taste in books.
