7,000-Year-Old REPTILIAN Ubaid Statuettes of Mesopotamia | Ancient Architects
I first came across these bizarre-looking ancient statuettes in the British museum, terracotta figurines with a slender human body, sometimes with a suckling child, sometimes holding a staff or sceptre and sometimes with their hands on their abdomens, but they all had this bizarre reptilian elongated head.
These figurines generally date to the 5th millennium BC, created by the Ubaid Culture of Mesopotamia and, of course, they have been put forward as evidence for ancient aliens.
Their distinctive ‘coffee-bean’ eyes and elongated heads is why they are often referred to as ‘lizard figurines’. Bitumen was also used to show hair, crown or headdress and the decoration we see on the various examples may represent tattoos or jewellery.

Ancient Mesopotamia: Eridu and Other Towns in the Ubaid Period
The Ubaid people constructed the earliest monumental buildings, standardized some measurements, and must have had some sort of formal leadership to care for and control their populations. See how the people of the Ubaid coordinated their efforts to develop irrigation systems, despite a lack of written language.

Why did the Ubaid period disappear without a trace?
There is something oddly striking about this one hit wonder place. The Ubaid period went from humble farming beginnings to a prospering urban city due to a pottery boom.
Then one day, its world ended. And just like that, it disappeared without a trace.
This video explores a hidden mystery that spiked a hip and roaring economy well known for it's innovative inventions during a new technological era.
Yet, there is one thing that sets this place apart from all the others, a unusual encounter with foreign visitors. And it's not what you think.

Mesopotamia: The Ubaid Period (5500–4000 B.C.)
The Ubaid Period is a time in Mesopotamia before the great Sumerian cities. The Ubaidians were very important as they established the first identifiable villages in the region.
"Tell AL-Ubaid was a site of a flourishing Sumerian town located along the Euphrates River around 6 km northwest of the large city of Ur. H.R. Hall, an English archaeologist discovered Tell al-Ubaid in 1918 and began basic excavations at the site the year after. In 1923 to 1924 more detailed investigations took place by the well-known Assyriologist Charles Leonard Woolley during the same period of time he was first exploring the city of Ur which was nearby. The biggest discovery at Tell al Ubaid was a temple devoted to Ninhursag, the Sumerian goddess of childbirth and divine protector of wild animals. The Temple w...

I first came across these bizarre-looking ancient statuettes in the British museum, terracotta figurines with a slender human body, sometimes with a suckling child, sometimes holding a staff or sceptre and sometimes with their hands on their abdomens, but they all had this bizarre reptilian elongated head.
These figurines generally date to the 5th millennium BC, created by the Ubaid Culture of Mesopotamia and, of course, they have been put forward as evidence for ancient aliens.
Their distinctive ‘coffee-bean’ eyes and elongated heads is why they are often referred to as ‘lizard figurines’. Bitumen was also used to show hair, crown or headdress and the decoration we see on the various examples may represent tattoos or jewellery.
They are visually captivating; nobody can deny that, but when I went to research what these statues actually were, I remember having to wade through so many ancient alien theories before actually finding something historical and helpful.
Of course there are no written sources from the Ubaid Period and the archaeological record for this time period, in this part of the world, is far from complete. In this video, I take a look at what experts call the 'ophidian terracotta figurines' of Southern Mesopotamia, found in cities from Ur, Uruk and Eridu, and I present a number of theories and hypotheses regarding what they may represent.

The Ubaid Period is a time in Mesopotamia before the great Sumerian cities. The Ubaidians were very important as they established the first identifiable villages in the region.
"Tell AL-Ubaid was a site of a flourishing Sumerian town located along the Euphrates River around 6 km northwest of the large city of Ur. H.R. Hall, an English archaeologist discovered Tell al-Ubaid in 1918 and began basic excavations at the site the year after. In 1923 to 1924 more detailed investigations took place by the well-known Assyriologist Charles Leonard Woolley during the same period of time he was first exploring the city of Ur which was nearby. The biggest discovery at Tell al Ubaid was a temple devoted to Ninhursag, the Sumerian goddess of childbirth and divine protector of wild animals. The Temple was built around 2500 B.C. this was when the Sumerian cities were reaching the top of their power and influence. The temple included eight large copper-sheathed lions guarding the entrance. The insides of the temple were decorated with elegant reliefs inlaid with red limestone and mother of pearl.
The remains of a number of simple private houses were also found by Hall and Woolley at Tell-al-Ubaid. Some of the homes were of sun-dried clay bricks and dated from Sumerian times, here is where things get interesting, in the lower levels of the tell, a tell in archeology is an artificial mound formed from continuous staking of remains of people living on the same site for a period of time. They found smaller houses made from reeds that dated from an earlier period. At the lowest level of the site of Ur, Woolley found similar huts, along with primitive pottery. This lead Woolley and his colleagues to conclude that the Sumerian culture came directly after a less developed culture, a culture that most likely made up the first people to settle and grow crops on the southern Mesopotamia plain. The archeologists conceived the term Ubaidian, which was appropriate as it was named from the site Tell al-Ubaid, to describe the new found culture."
