[edit] "The black-headed people"

The "Black-headed people" were considered slaves in the Sumerian caste hierarchy. Odd, I thought "the black-headed people" is simply what the Sumerians called themselves. If this is part of Sitchin's "hypothesis", it should be clearly denoted as such; the present phrasing makes it seem like historical fact which happens to relate to the whole "shapechanging lizards control the White House" school of thought.

[edit] Possibility "Lizardmen" Exist?

I've always wondered whether a species of intelligent dinosaurs, probably descendents from a highly intelligent raptor species, still live deep under the Earth's crust somewhere. Perhaps 64 million years ago when the meteor came and wiped out most of the dinosaurs, these ultra-intelligent raptors hid under the ground ever since and come out occasionally during ancient times and sometimes now. I don't think it is very possible but there really is no proof. If they do exist they may live deep in caves we have not discovered. What do you think? Zachorious 03:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

i think they were mostly wiped out in wars with the Mole People some time ago, during the early middle ages if i'm not mistaken. —Charles P._(Mirv) 04:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
They were not actully wiped out, just driven aboveground.Tom Harrison Talk 04:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

--I think that sounds like the plot of a video game... Oh WAIT, it was!

I'm not so sure. I think I married one of them.

The fact is, reptilians can't be disproven, as they can shape-shift! Foday 05:39, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

That is the problem with all conspiracy theories isn't it, by their very nature you can't prove them or disprove them. --MrDenton 18:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cryptids

In the second paragraph is the phrase "similarly to other cryptids"... a cryptid is an animal that has not been proven to exist but is believed to exist because of myth or legend (such as the Coelacanth before the 1990s...).

Do these reptiles really fit in this category? 193.129.65.37 05:58, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster are cryptids. These creatures are not believed in by everyone. Why not reptilians? Foday 06:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Credo Mutwa and the chitahuri

Far from being a general belief... so far as I am aware and can establish, the only Zulu person who has ever promoted the notion of "chitahuri" is Mutwa himself. Humansdorpie 14:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is a wonderful and informative article!

It does not state that reptilians exist, so I don't see what any sceptics have to complain about. There are plenty of articles on similar subjects such as greys that are not causing controversy. Obviously there are some people who believe in these beings. I am a sceptic myself, but I feel the same way about religious subjects, which have more popular support, but no more real evidence than "psuedoscientific" topics. Foday 06:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I restored a political reference to reptilians

It is exactly that: a political reference to reptilians. It is not using the word reptile as an insult; it uses the word reptilian, which is worth noting in this article. Foday 02:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

"Reptilian" is the adjective form of "reptile," and from the context of the quote it's clear that it was meant in that sense: having the characteristics of a reptile, specifically, being cold, unfeeling, and "slimy." It has no more bearing on "reptilian humanoids" than a quote about "gray winter days" would belong on a page about little gray aliens. Should be removed. Kordeth 00:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I suppose you would say the same thing about the evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet quote if it wasn't so explicit in its language. One could argue that the word reptilian simply means reptile-like in almost any context. The difference you are referring to is more like calling someone a grey alien and simply meaning they are an alien that is grey in color. Referring to polititans as reptilian in either sense of the word is significant in light of the conspiracy theories that claim a large number of polititians are reptilians. Foday 01:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Then reword it to indicate that the conspiracy theorists who believe in reptilian humanoids have seized on the quote as "evidence." You have to consider intent and context, and from the context of the quote it's quite clear that "reptilian bastards" is being used in the sense of "very unpleasant men who exhibit cold, unfeeling qualities and ruthless self-advancement" rather than "members of a shapeshifting extraterrestrial race who are the secret masters of the world, and also they were born out of wedlock." Note that the word "alien" appears nowhere in the quote, nor does any other phrase indicating reference to this conspiracy. If I were to say "the IRS are a bunch of vampires," I think any reasonable person would realize that I mean the IRS has "vampiric" characteristics of parasitism and the theft of something vital to other people's lives, not that the audit department is full of pine boxes filled with Transylvanian earth and "NO GARLIC" signs.

I added the sentence: While there is no evidence that Bushnell used the term "reptilian" to mean anything other than "reptile-like", this quote is significant in light of the conspiracy theories regarding reptilians in government. Foday 03:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


The problem is it isn't significant. There is no evidence that it was used in a related context, and even if it were that would not make the quote noteable. The first quote is obviously related to actual reptiles (not aliens), and is not noteable in the actual reptiles article. The second quote is no more noteable in this article. I am deleting it.

[edit] Add "They Live" as media reference?

I'll admit to not being a "believer" in the Reptilian conspiracy, but I have a friend who is and fills me in on it. I'm surprised that the movie "V" is mentioned but the enjoyably campy "They Live" is not mentioned; it seems to actually dramatize (albeit in a simple way) our contemporary society as controlled by hidden beings (who are more skeleton-esque than lizard-esque) in a way that seems to get some of the big details right -- human/alien cooperation, mind control, etc.

[edit] Hundreds of public-domain-pictures to bee uploaded to commons

please see: http://images.google.it/images?q=www.reptilianagenda.com&hl=it&btnG=Cerca+immagini

You'll find hundreds of good pictures which are old enough to be public domain. Some are art: Blakes painting / The quetzalcoatl also is a nice example: quetzi Or have a look here: martin and an reptoid?

[edit] Reptilian humanoids in fiction

I'm going to move all the 'see also' links that relate to works of fiction to Reptilian humanoids in fiction. Tom Harrison Talk 17:10, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Retitle article "Reptilian humanoids (cryptozoology)"?

As that seems to be the main thrust of the article and there is a page for reptilian humanoids in fiction. Please comment. Foday 09:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


The Secret History of Procopius says that a pious hermit fled from an audience with Justinian, because the hermit saw that a demon sat upon the throne. This corroborates the shapeshifting reptilian theory.

[edit] Weasel Words Tag

The weasel words tag has been removed, however, this article still contains weasel words: eg. "Several ancient peoples all over the world have described reptilian beings..." and "An early instance in literature..." and "Even in modern times, some claim to have encountered reptilian humanoids". There are probably other places where weasel words are used in this entry. In most instances, the specific information is available in the article, it just needs someone to rewrite these statements with the specific information referenced.
