About this episode
John Rhodes presents his controversial research into humanity's possible genetic connection to an ancient race of intelligent reptilian beings who may still inhabit underground installations worldwide. Rhodes discusses mythological accounts, archaeological evidence, and modern encounter reports suggesting that reptilian humanoids have influenced human development throughout history. Art Bell explores Rhodes' theory that underground tunnel systems house non-human intelligences and examines witness testimonies describing encounters with reptilian entities in subterranean environments. The conversation delves into genetic anomalies, ancient texts describing serpent gods, and modern UFO cases involving reptilian beings observed in connection with abduction phenomena. Rhodes presents archaeological evidence of advanced pre-human civilizations and argues that surface monuments like pyramids may represent remnants of this ancient reptilian culture. The discussion examines how reptilian symbolism appears consistently across unconnected human cultures and religions, suggesting a common source for these archetypal images. Art Bell probes the implications of Rhodes' theory for human evolution and our understanding of Earth's hidden history, while examining the possibility that some surface political and economic institutions may be influenced by underground reptilian intelligences. This groundbreaking episode introduces concepts that would become central to alternative theories about human origins and planetary control systems.
