Great thread. I tend to think the "UFO/alien" phenomena is more spiritual than extraterrestrial. A good read. Thanks for compiling all the info

I've been personally researching human origins and earth history for the past 9 years (1999-2008) and this research is always on going. I've read as much as I can from Zecharia Sitchin to Immanuel Velikovsky. I feel confident that everything that is revealed to the general public is not the truth. There are SECRETS that are not told. There is a truth about the Annunaki/Nephelim. There is a truth to the Bible, Koran, Torah and all other "Holy Scriptures". I urge everyone to start seeking the truths from the great pyramids at Giza to the citadel at Machu Pichu in South America. There are stories about the "Giants that walked Earth." Ancient Sumeria is always a good place to start. If the truth shall set thee free, then it is about time that we knew the truth. I don't know the answers (I don't think any one does). But the "Darks con of man" seems to be alive and well. I'm sorry to sound so cheesey but there is almost a "Matrix" like reality that has been fabricated for us. Here is a list of References:
Zecharia Sitchen - The Lost Book Of Enki, The 12th planet, The Earth Chronicles Expidition.
Erich Van Daniken - Chariots of the Gods
Graham Hancock - Fingerprints of the gods
Patrick Heron - The Nephelim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse
Lawrence E. Joseph - Apocalypse 2012
Immanuel Velikovsky - Worlds in collision, Earth in upheavel,
Ages in chaos
Christopher Knight/Robert Lomas - The Hiram Key
Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henrt Lincoln - The holy blood
and the holy grail
Jim Marrs - Rule by Secercy
Michael Tellenger - Slave Species of god

If anyone can tackle the information is these books, please let your voice be heard. My main point has always been that if human origins can be proved then goverment and organized religeon will lose thier power and thier control, which is what the human race will always pursue. Read, Understand and be HEARD.

Excellent thread as usual Skyfloating. This subject is a particular interest of mine and I've been watching the thread for a few days waiting for a moment to post something useful.

The concept of dreamtime for example is mind-expanding, and something our quantum physicists are only just beginning to suspect. They know that our reality is an illusion or merely an iteration. The dreamtime is not just the past but the present and future, the omnipresence of existence beyond our '5-senses' dimension which is perpetually entwined with our perceived reality.

This is why I don't believe the Aborigonal people are referring to material serpents and beings (not that I'm inferring that Skyfloating was claiming this to be the case). It's important that we remember that to our ancient ancestors, the spirit world was as real as this physical plane that we occupy. The concept of our reality being an illusion only goes to re-enforce the notion that to the Aborigonal people, otherworldly entities were as real, if not more real than if they had seen a tangeable material UFO or strange being.

Even for those of us who believe in the spirit world, it's extremely difficult to regard it with as much reverence as we do the physical world we were brought up in. This is because we're so weighed down by it and so conditioned to believe that there's nothing more to life than work, taxes and death. Existence has densified over the course of aeons. The Golden Age played host to a very etheric, spiritual existence whilst our current age is near the pinnacle of material density.

The serpents are real, but they required altered states of consciousness to be comprehended. It is my belief that these altered states came far easier to our ancestors because of how accepting they were of them and how in tune with nature they were. I think it's highly likely that the Bullroarer was a common method of "crossing over".

The reason that serpents are common to distant ancient cultures is that all these cultures were at one with the concept of the spirit world, and that spirit world is not subjective. I like to think of it as a room with many windows looking in, one window for each ancient culture. Therefore they all saw the same truths and often the same entities, and inevitably came to similar conclusions about creation and existence.

There's plenty I'd like to add to this thread, and will do when I have some more free time.

Someone earlier mentioned the book "The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Narby. That book gives an excellent insight to the relationship between serpent worship and the origins of existence.

Also, "Supernatural" by Graham Hancock is highly relevant - explaining the link between Shamanism, UFO sightings and serpent worship.

The Gosford Glyphs are an example of the oddball aussie humour. Theres a few threads that have mentioned them throughout the years, Ill have a look for you all. I dont dissmiss the other influences though some of the Gympie stuff aint from the larrakin.

Something we must be aware of when researching anything para/crypto/ufo in Australia. The larrakin comes out in strange ways.

So I believe the serpents are comets, the flowing hair of the goddess the beard of the god or the feathers of the serpent are descriptions of the comets fillamentary plasma tail.

Serpents are comets...thats what we learned in school. Except that comets dont talk, give instructions, teach writing and wage war against other Gods.

The ancients said "mountain" when they meant mountain and said "sky god" when they meant "sky god"...imo.

Thankyou for that invaluable information

Lures lizards and attracts soul mates! If we can get past the semantics we may actually crack something in this thread. There are far too many relationships between the Indigenous cultures of the world for even the cynic in me to ignore. The question remains are the sullied waters intentional? And if so who is the culprit? Wouldnt mind skyfloatings initial thoughts on that one as you have been looking into this for a while.

Ive always wondered if its a cover-up or just forgetfulness or stupidity. Maybe a mixture of all three. Things get distorted over thousands and thousands of years, despite our best intentions to remember them.

Hell, most people cant even agree on what happened at 9/11, which was a few years ago.

You raise a few other very important points in this post, I´d like to add my angle to them later.

Contrary to the claims of mainstream science, the aborigines are not the only people to have a “rainbow serpent” in their Mythology. The rainbow serpent is also known to various african tribes or the african Bantu religion. In fact, maybe it is no coincidence that Harvard scientist Wade Davis book on Haitan Voodoo and Secret Societies of the West Indies (which originate in Africa) is called "The Serpent and The Rainbow". Neither would it be the only account that somehow associates human origins with Serpents. We are reminded of the ancient biblical tale of the serpent in the garden of Eden, ancient Chinese tails of flying dragons, ancient germanic tales referring to the “Lindwurm” which, according to mythology was a flying dragon who shaped the earth, or even of the ancient egyptian tale called “The Shipwrecked sailor” which refers to a beautiful garden that sunk in a flood after being inhabited by very colorful serpents.

... You on the right path with linked beliefs, But somehow I think you are drifting astray from the truth with this post...

Texas UFO sightings 2008... Rainbow Serpant... Sky Serpants e.t.c
