[QUOTE="CarpeNemo, post: 42867, member: 2550"] I think the reptilian stuff comes from translation mix ups. Zecheria Sitchin (until last October, one of the foremost researchers capable of translating Sumerian) translated it in such a way it seems to imply the serpentine features as well as avian features (think "Winged serpents") as dress and transport descriptions. It was not uncommon to apply plumage to clothes back in the day, and it could have been a custom they've left us. The serpent aspect surely comes from their transport vehicles - often described as fiery flying serpents. I think it's mostly a mistranslation or a misunderstanding of the true meaning. We can't really tell for sure, because the Sumerians likely had their own literary imagery that was common back then and hard to understand now. And like a good joke loses a lot in translation, it probably does as well. [/QUOTE]
