John: Would the Hebrew writer or writers of Genesis 1 and of Genesis 2 verses 1 to 6 have had access to these Greek ideas, or would they have come up with their similar ones themselves?
The “reptilian” idea mainly comes from a mix of science fiction, ancient myths, and modern conspiracy theories.
One of the biggest reasons it became popular is a writer named David Icke. In the 1990s, he claimed that a race of shape-shifting reptilian beings secretly controls world leaders and wealthy elites. His ideas spread through books, interviews, and later the internet.
But the roots go even deeper:
Ancient myths: Some old civilizations, like those in Mesopotamia, had stories about serpent-like gods or creatures. These were symbolic, not literal aliens.
Science fiction influence: Shows like V featured alien reptiles disguised as humans, which made the idea more vivid in pop culture.
Psychological factors: Humans are naturally drawn to big, hidden explanations for complex problems (like inequality or power). Conspiracy theories can make the world feel more understandable or give a sense of “secret knowledge.”
Internet spread: Social media and forums helped these ideas travel fast, even without evidence.
In reality, there’s no scientific proof that reptilian beings exist or that any humans are secretly non-human. The theory persists mostly because it’s dramatic and taps into distrust of powerful people.
If you want, I can also explain why conspiracy theories in general feel convincing to people.
It seems as if this era was a bridge period between mythology and natural law, rational inquiry. I always wonder "why then?". Did our brains develop over this period, allowing us to make this leap?
What was going on in the far-east during this period?

Even though they do not have directly access; these ideas were shared between races thru centuries!
Somehow humans communicate constantly no matter distance, race, or language!

By Anaxagoras, you mean Anaximander.
Maybe just shove the Bible up your ass. It's more useful there. Truly. Religion gives men power over women. That's why it exists.
