Conan the Adventurer is a Marvel comic as well as a children's television show, loosely based on Robert E. Howard's character Conan the Barbarian.
In the TV show Conan lived in Black Sea region, with his parents. While out with his grandfather one day "firery tears" dropped from the skies. Conan collected some of these "firery tears", which turned out to be star metal, a very strong metal. Conan's father used this metal to make weapons.
The evil, shapeshifting, serpent-man, wizard, Rathamon wanted this star metal to release his leader Set from "that other dimension". Set had been banished from earth by wizards because Set wanted to enslave the human race. Rathamon paid a visit to Conan's family because he heard they had star metal. Conan's father had by this point sold most of the star metal, all he had left was a sword he had hid under a large rock. Conan was told he could have the sword when he was man enough to lift the rock. Rathamon turned Conan's family into stone because they had no star metal to give him. At this Conan went to get the sword from under the rock to attack Rathamon. When the star metal sword got near Rathamon he turned into a serpent-man. To this he said "Those who see the Rathamon in his true form must perish!"
Rathamons' henchmen are also shapeshifting serpent-men. When Conan's star metal sword is close enough to them they shapeshift in to serpent-men and go back to "that other dimension". Some people who are in positions of power are also shapeshifting serpent-men.
Relation to Ancient History
- Serpent-men - There are many ancient accounts of serpent-men such as the Nagas. Zecharia Sitchin, an archaeologist and linguist specialising in the Sumerian and Hebrew languages, claims that an ancient race of extraterrestrials, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered the original humans, and that they probably still exist in some form or another, with some degree of influence over humankind. These beings are speculated by Sitchin to be either reptilian, quasi-reptilian, or amphibious, from ancient description. Sitchin has based his theory on his translations of Sumerian tablets.
- Shape shifting - A highly controversial researcher, David Icke writes in his books of shaeshifting reptiles who are controlled by a being in the lower foruth dimension (or inter-space plane). He says that the beings in the inter- space plane have no energy to survive on. So the inter-space plane beings created a race of shapeshifting reptiles on earth to create masses of fear to sustain the beings in the inter-space. The fear has been caused by wars, religions, economic systems, social norms etc. Icke also writes that this fear blankets the Earth, which stops us from connecting with our spiritual side.
- True form - In Zecharia Sitchin's translations he records that those who depicted the "gods" in their true form would be killed, which is also a theme in the Conan cartoon.
- Set - The Ancient Egyptian name for the negative god.
