The Serpent as a Symbol representing immortality and knowledge. it is often connected to the The Dragon. Since snakes crawl into holes the serpent is connected to the underworld and the land of the dead. Since snakes climb trees the serpent is connected th the World Tree and thus the celestial realms as well.

In the Mesopotamian Mythology the meaning of the serpent symbol is known from the epic of Gilgamesh where the plant of everlasting youth is stolen by a serpent who loses its old skin and thus is reborn.

In the Mesoamerican Mythology the serpent symbol is represented by the rattlesnake and is depicted on many monuments and temples.
