Idk about reptilians but I've long thought there is an ancient lost knowledge aspect to it. The purely barbaric animalistic part of the human brain is called the "reptilian brain" in modern times and true psychopaths are said to be operating from their "reptilian brain" while their limbic system is a developmental mess. But this is all understood from modern neurological sciences, so how were ancient peoples making the connection about the "reptilian brain" when constantly using serpents and lizards to represent dark triad type entities? As a kid I never would've looked at a lizard and thought "yep, this right here represents evil and deceit and death", I actually thought reptiles were pretty cool tbh. So again how were ancient peoples making a connection that would be validated by neuroscience thousands of years later?

Reptiles haven’t developed love. Mammals have. That’s the issue in a nutshell.
