The crocodile is an evil, unpleasant and practically untamed creature, moreover, it often eats people. How could the ancient Egyptians who lived next to him attribute any positive qualities to him? Nevertheless, the crocodile god Sebek (Shebek) in religious beliefs acts as a kind and beneficent being for the world and people. How is this even possible?..
And this applies not only to the Egyptians. The crocodile in many ancient myths is the support and engine of the Earth, the night deity; gluttonous as the night consuming the sun; the ruler of Chaos, combining in himself the symbolism of death and resurrection, night and morning; repository of transcendental life forces. Number 60 - a female crocodile lays exactly 60 eggs, which take 60 days; the life of a crocodile lasts 60 years. Perhaps this is the key to the clue of the number 666 - so beloved by many mystics?.. If they meant a cold and calculating crocodile predator …
It is also important to note the veneration of Sebek as an assistant in the ordinary everyday affairs of a person. Many papyrus scrolls contain wishes for health and happiness in the form "May Sebek help you … May Sebek be with you …" etc. At least strange wishes - knowing the character and disposition of the crocodile.
The idea of the god Sebek as one of the gods participating in the very process of the universe seems to be no less interesting. It is directly indicated that the gods themselves owe him their origin: "Sebek … the father of the gods", "the father of the gods, the lord of the divine ennead" "Sebek-Ra … the prince, the lord of the divine ennead. he is the father of every god …"
By all indications, Sebek is one of the oldest gods participating in the formation of the worldview of the ancient peoples of Egypt. And this already leads to very interesting thoughts …
The first "gods" were amphibians?
In addition to antiquity, there is something very curious. As a "creator of the world", Sebek is awarded or has a crown characteristic of his position as creator and leader of the ancient world. The simplest and perhaps the oldest of the crowns is the crown consisting of two ram's horns emerging from the crocodile's head, on which the sun disk is located. It should be noted that there is myth-making about a real animal - the crocodile Magu, who, according to the descriptions of ancient texts, is one of the founders of universal evil. Crocodile Maga personifies all the negative signs of the crocodile genus known to the ancient Egyptians. But he is also the son of Set! "Back, Maga, son of Set!.."

In the descriptions of Seth, certain "crocodile" moments do often slip, which demonstrate that this "god" was not exactly humanoid. But who was he then?
It is also worth remembering another mythical creature - Manu. It was him (along with the serpent Apophis) that was destroyed in all the ancient mysteries. And he was also a crocodile!
And look at the Sumerian descriptions of the legendary Oannesh, who gave people knowledge. Who was he - if not something "like a crocodile"?..
All this tells us: we are talking about intelligent amphibians. Reptiles, if you like. These were the ancient "gods" - some of them, including the most ancient.
These intelligent beings appeared on another planet and flew to us here many millennia ago - as guests or as refugees. They colonized the Earth, being at that time the most intelligent and highest form. But they were few. And for one reason or another they could not go back.
Perhaps because at home, on their planet, they were not expected with a "welcoming snake smile." Or the conditions on their planet have changed significantly - becoming impossible for life … In this case, the hypothesis with Sirius and the Dogon is the best fit. By the way, Dagon is an amphibious deity, half-man-half fish, who was worshiped by the Phimistians …
Here is the explanation for the strange heads in ancient images …
At first, the ancient "gods" chose man "as a helper." And then they began to interbreed with our species. Not necessarily through direct physical contact! These reptilians - "themselves" perfectly mastered genetic technologies, modern IVF (artificial conception) as well. As a result of crossing intelligent reptiles and humans, "demigods" were obtained …
As befits from nature, in some cases they were obtained outwardly closer to man (Osiris, Horus), in others - closer to the reptile (Set, Enki). But these are purely external qualities! In any case, they were intelligent and rather powerful beings. "Gods". More correctly - "demigods". Which then turned into "quarter gods" and so on.
Human genes ultimately won out and became dominant in the sebek descendants. Because there were many people, and the original ancient "gods" - reptiles (amphibians) - were few. No more than a hundred individuals.
And even the crossing of "demigods" among themselves led to the same - a humanoid species and blood. With rare exceptions. Although the legends about the nagas and serpent-people are also not just legends, but echoes of reality … Long gone.
Probably, as a result of crossing the two species, unnatural deviations appeared, real cannibal monsters. Their memory is also preserved in a number of myths.
The "humanoid" gods eventually defeated the "serpentine" ("sebeks") as a result of a prolonged conflict with the use of powerful weapons. But it is not a fact that the “serpentine” representatives were evil - one should not judge only by their appearance. If we judge in relation to people and access to knowledge, then just the "snakes" were somewhat kinder and better … However, this is all relative. In addition, even the "demigods" were engaged in war against each other, intrigues, power struggles - regardless of their appearance. What can we say about people?
At the same time, each clan (which, as we now understand, could be associated with which genes prevailed - "sebek" or a person) had its own good and bad representatives, both striving for knowledge and light - and aggressive conquerors-rapists … Everything is like people.
The existence on Earth of mermaids, "fish-men", who marked the past can also be connected precisely with the heritage of the ancient "gods". We don't know exactly what these reptiles looked like - but they were intelligent and powerful …
