>Which is basically a synopsis of Robert E. Howard's Story. Michael Barkun in A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America notes that Doreal also authored a pamphlet giving a revisionist history of the world featuring this serpent race ("Mysteries of the Gobi") and another "Flying Saucers: An Occult Viewpoint" (all of these have uncertain publication dates) which postulated this Serpent Race were extraterrestrials
>The early UFO movement of the 1940s and 50s was closely associated with the pulp fiction magazines because of the Shaver Mystery and general similarity of interest, so a pulp influence on an occult writer is not a massive surprise. Reptilian aliens became a feature of science fiction, and were absorbed by degrees into occult and conspiracy literature with works like Robert Ernst Dickhoff's Agharta (1951, serpent men from Venus come to Atlantis and Lemuria) and you can see the sort of divergence that gave us reptilian aliens like the Gorn for Star Trek versus the tabloid fodder that the British Royal family are serpent-people, which makes its appearance in the 1980s
>Doreal would be a source for later works like David Icke's Children of the Matrix: How an Interdimensional Race has Controlled the World for Thousands of Years-and Still Does (2001), which sort of collates and updates the whole idea. (The Complete Chronicles of Conan, edited by Stephen Jones)
