| Aug 13, 2020 at 2:53 | comment | added | DWKraus | This is also a fun piece of semi-science that fueled a lot of the lizard man tropes of the last decades (speculativeevolution.fandom.com/wiki/Dinosauroid) | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 2:41 | comment | added | DWKraus | I think the modern lizard man is an amalgam of modern and ancient origins, solidified into the form you're talking about with the first AD&D Monster Manual and Land of the Lost. But if you're looking for absolute origins, I'd go with sempaiscuba and say the Ubaid. Sobek is pretty good, too, though. The Greeks & Scythians have various references as well (a little more current). | |

| Aug 13, 2020 at 1:27 | comment | added | DWKraus | A lot of people take this stuff really seriously, and if you google for reptoids and reptilians, Tiamatians, or Annunaki, You'll get a TON of material, tracing a million different visions of ancient origins of reptilian humanoids. A lot of these assume an advanced culture, but some suggest a more primitive one. Start here. ufo.fandom.com/wiki/Saurians | |

| Aug 12, 2020 at 1:14 | comment | added | sempaiscuba | I wonder if people saw the "lizard-headed" figurines from the Ubaid period (c 6500–3800 BCE) in Ancient Mesopotamia, and extrapolated from there? | |
