Tak jeszcze na fali różnych skojarzeń i interpretacji symboli i obrazów , coś co często przedstawia się jako mające związek z reptilianami gdzie wielu ludzi widzi ich jako obecnych w starożytnym Egipcie i tam wręcz ubóstwianych - taka oparta na naturze interpretacja, fragment o krokodylu:
One of the earliest types of the sun as a soul of life in the water is a crocodile. We see the mother who brings forth a crocodile when the goddess Neith is portrayed in human shape as the suckler of the young crocodiles hanging at her breasts. Neith is the wet-nurse personified whose child was the young sun-god. As Sebek he was imaged by the crocodile that emerged from the waters at sunrise. Sebek was at once the child and the crocodile brought forth by the Great Mother in the mythology. And because the crocodile had imaged a soul of life in water, as a superhuman power, it became a representative, in sign-language, of the human soul. We see this same type of a soul in external nature applied to the human soul in the Book of the Dead, where the Osiris in the netherworld exclaims, 'I am the Crocodile in the form of a man,'[23] that is as a soul of which the crocodile had been a symbol, as soul of the sun. It was thus the crocodile was born with the child, as a matter of sign-language, not as a belief.

In beginning ab ovo our first lesson is to learn something of the symbolical language of animals, and to understand what it is they once said as zootypes. We have then to use that knowledge in simplifying the mysteries of mythology.
