Our ignorance and silence will
forever remain our greatest crime!

                                                                    

Did you know that according to numerous Pre-Alexandrian era mythological accounts the Modern Greek Capital City of Athens was actually once referred to as “Kekropia”?
I have read dozens of different mythical interpretations. The one I enjoyed reading most states that Kekrops, a scaly-serpent like creature, was the ruler of the powerful Kekropian Empire run by a ferocious, cold and blue-blooded reptilian species.
Myth has it that a great war broke out between the Humans and Reptiles for the possession of the City. The war was so long and bloody that the entire Greek mainland was bathed in red and blue blood for centuries to follow.
After endless sacrifices and the loss of millions of lives (both Human and Reptilian) the Humans finally prevailed.
The Age of the Reptile species had come to a tragic end. Their lizard-like Emperor was taken into custody before he, along with his three daughters and key advisors, were finally executed.
The City from that moment onward was in the hands of the Humans.
Despite their great victory, the Humans would not stop until they were absolutely certain of the fact that the last of the reptilian bloodline had vanished off the face of the Earth! (Well at least that’s what they thought…).
The Human Elders decided to rename the newly liberated City “Athens” in respect to their protector Goddess “Athena”.
Oh, how I love Mythology. In my opinion Mythology beats Science Fiction hands down. Where are those Hollywood people to turn this into a movie? I’m sure with special effects and all, this scenario would sell big time!

NOTE – These are my own words. The knowledge to write this comes from years of entertaining stories by my Grandpa and all the mythology books he gave me.
May his soul rest in peace for all eternity.
