Helena Blavatsky's 'The Secret Doctrine' from 1888 discusses ancient civilizations, and the lizard people of these civilizations going underground after an apocalyptic event.
And he goes back most likely to another controversial figure, sort of a David Icke of her day called Helena Blavatsky.
And in 1888 or so, she writes a book called or she collects some lectures and things she had said previously about the idea, something you referred to earlier, Matt, the idea that there are lizard people who are part of an ancient civilization that was once more advanced than humanity, but met with great great peril and disaster.
Howard has this story in The Shadowed Kingdom, wherein Conan the Barbarian runs into these serpent men, which are pretty much beat for beat. The dragon men from the secret doctrine and the other stories that Blavatsky took from and surprise, Conan.
So it goes back to the way she describes. I think it's five races of like humanoids that have existed throughout time, and she's ripping off a lot of ancient myths from the Indian subcontinent.
This is the reason they were also popular in their day.
And then Blavatsky is another person who said she read this one book and she was doing meditations and she was again, almost a message was being channeled through her that becomes what is known as the Secret Doctrine.
But in that there is this concept that these serpents of wisdom, these great dragons, whatever all this stuff is, they are a group of some form of creature that uses serpents to describe them, right? That live underground.
They live underneath some type of pyramidal structures.
