2. Dragon Treasures
Another strange
connection of dragons with this unfolding story is the motif that
one often associates with dragons: their underground existence,
guarding hordes of treasure and precious gems. So pervasive is this
theme in the lore of dragons from around the world that it compels
an obvious question.
Gems have a central theme in the legends of dragons. They had a compulsion to hide and protect these precious stones. Sometimes the possession and protection of these jewels was the all-encompassing purpose of existence. Were these “stones” the “power crystals” of the Sumerians which gave extraordinary power to the owner?590
Given the fact that
there are so many other persistent motifs that connect these
various legends, from Nephilim and Anunnaki to “dragon” or “serpent
gods” and their chimerical offspring, to Lucifer the “serpent” lost
stone of power, the lapis exilis, one
would have to answer this with a tentative yes.
We may now assemble
the “catalogue of clues.”
