This is a recent reprint, by TGS Publishing, of the original first edition of this book. "This is the first book of its kind in terms of truly going in-depth to examine the striking similarities between folklore, religious, mythic, "new age", fictional, and first-hand witness or historical accounts of cryptid and reptilian figures. Drawing from scientific facts, folklore, comparative mythology, and anecdotal sources, it is demonstrable that the structure of our planet, the history of our species, the underlying truths disguised as our myths, legends, folklore and " pop culture " imagery, are not quite what we have been led to believe. The Earth itself is much more stratified and complex in structure than we have realized, and our species has perhaps experienced, through the ages, encounters and conflicts with "others", non-human intelligences or beings of various types who have seldom been our friends. Memories and accounts of these encounters have come down to us in the form of folklore and mythology, often viewed with superstitious terror or awe through the conditioned lenses of religions, religious interpretation or "folk traditions". Such encounters are continuing today." : Color Illustrations.
