N1 - The egg shell structures of reptiles as a picture of the animals constitutionThe articles on bird egg shells in the Tycho de Brahe yearbooks 1996 and 1997 are here supplemented with an article on reptile eggs which also reviews the situation with the birdsThe poikilothermic reptiles mostly bury their predominantly colour less eggs in the ground without incubating the eggs thcmselves During incubation the eggs increase in weight This shows the relation of the reptiles to the Earth to coldness darkness and weight During Earth evolution ahrimanic beings belonging to the higher hierarchies connected with these qualities On the one hand they consolidate living beings to the extent necessary for living on the Earth but on the other hand they want them to reach maturity too soon to overindividualise them and increase their life span Evolutionally for the animals this means an anticipation of characteristics of higher animal groupsclasses e g birdlike appendices on some ribs of the tuatara Spbenodonpunctatus highly developed care for nests and young in the case of crocodiles a internal voice in the case of gcckos ovovivipary in the case of snakes and some lizardsThe classifying criteria for the egg shell structures do not seem to be the evolutionary stages of the reptiles but rather their threefoldness digestively dominated turtles rhythmieally dominated crocodiles tuatara varans and geekos and nervesensc dominated snakes This correlates with a more or lessheadlikeorlimblikeossification of the different reptile bodies land turtles maximally represent over the whole body theformative characteristics of the head with its mostly ossified skull bones by enelosing the thorax and abdomen within a fully ossified carapace Snakelike lizards scincidae lacertidae and snakes represent theformative characteristics of the limbs The snakes also have reduced ossification of the skull and show jointlike flexibility of skull boncsIn eontrast to the reptiles the warmblooded birds thcmselves incubate their clutches of eggs which are mostly laid aboveground and are often beautifully pigmented During incubation bird eggs loose weight During evolution of the earth luciferic beings also belonging to the higher hierarchies connected with the qualities of lightness air light colour and warmth On the one hand these beings prevent too strong or premature ossification in animals and man keep open the connection to the spiritual world and inspire creativity and art in man whilst on the other hand they tend to keep all living beings on earth in a state of childhood preventing individualisation and shortening life spam Evolutionally for the animals this means a retention of characteristics of lower animal groupsclasses e g reptilelike characteristics such as scales covering the legs of gallinaceous birds egg burying in the megapode birds limb relics in boas and pythonsThe eggs of different rcptilcs can be distinguished especially by their shell structuresAhriman models In contrast the eggs of different birds can be distinguished especially by their pigmentationLucifer paintsCompared with rcptiles birds on the whole manifest an additional formative characteristic of the head namely the soul which is expressed in their high body temperature singing plumage colour and egg pigmentation The formative characteristic of the head as a general developmental principle for the whole body is reduced in birds to the appendices on the ribs contributing to reinforcernent of the birds thorax
