A very interesting read.

I purchased this book a couple years ago but am just now finishing it. Very informative, very interesting.

Unbelievable - if you believe

Once again you have a chance to encounter the mysteries of the humankind's past, this time - with a help of Robert Temple, the author of The Sirius Mystery.The subject of the book is incredibly fascinating: most of us are used to seek the lost knowledge cases in civilizations like ancient Egypt, or Olmecs, or Maya; here we face a situation when an african tribe may possess the knowledge of a high value that is linked closely to the achievements of modern astronomy. That is rather a key point of the whole book - the Dogon who seem to know too much - about the things they can not know anything about, and their legends that tell us about their ancestors that came from another world.As in many other cases, the main advantage of The Sirius Mystery is its thought-provoking power, its ability to mobilize and activate a reader's imagination and logical thinking. The beliefs of the Dogon may be slightly confusing, the way they got their sacred knowledge about Sirius may be the one the author suggests, or may be different - it does not matter too much: there seem to be a knowledge anomaly happened in Africa, and we would better find out what caused it, since solving this more or less recent puzzle may help us with investigating the ancient mysteries, such as locating and building the Egyptian pyramids, the Chinese ones, or mysteries of technological achievements of the ancient Middle East.The past of the Dogons may be linked to the ancient Egypt, or to any other ancient civilization of this planet, and the author's conclusions about the paleocontact may be not so convincing to some, the other thing, however, once again is more important: there is a place for mysteries like this, and by no means should we discard any of them, saying "it can not be, because it can never be", and the Dogon mystery should be given a careful and complete study.Those who are still non-believers would better address the issues, for example, of the 14th century maps of Antarctica, or astronomical knowledge of ancient Egypt or Mesoamerica, or anything else: the world is full of the lost or mysterical knowledge cases, and some of them are supporetd by a hard evidence.In short, the book is a must-read for anyone paying a serious attention to the problems of history, civilizations' development and the lost knowledge we are trying to find.

Giving a new spin on civilisation

Temple takes you on a journey from the earliest dawn of history, giving well thought out and convincing arguments of how the beliefs of a small group of tribes in Africa can be traced back to the earliest periods of language. He patiently charts a course from the very earliest civilisations through some of the greatest classical historians and philosophers of Egypt and Greece to name but a few, showing common threads running through massively diverse cultures. He puts forward convincing arguments that the knowledge could well be evidence of alien contact with the Earth. The nature of the subject is such that the conclusions of this book could be enough to rock the foundations of most major religions. If nothing else, it certainly gives an alternative view of the course of human civilisation, and gives a boost to those who hope that we are not alone.

The Bible is beginning to make sense now with Temple around

This is a LONG read. Not page wise, but you must be very patient with what he's trying to get accross. Being that this website is viewed by a higher percentage of Americans, and most Americans proclaim themselves Christian, I think all should read this book, no matter what race or creed. I think Robert Temple is on the right track in stating that a more advanced race from the star Serius have been in touch before christ, and are still here, keeping a watchful eye. A point one must attain are the various pieces of art, whether from the Orient, Egypt or Greece, depicting hybrids of man & fish, with the prominent fish tail; perhaps depticting that humanoid & the amphibious race, that have the same shape as us & the same body parts, yet take on the properties of an amphibian/reptile, coincided as one! It does give credence to who the talking serpent/snake that Adam & Eve encountered may have been. This subject should not be laughed at, as it makes more sense out of everything than any priest could ever hope for. A must read to everyone.

A masterpiece!!

The book itself is let's say an opulent spume of knowledge!! Mr. Temple deftly wrote his masterpiece and that is why I guess it looks so fecund for those of you who are voracious fans of all the space mysteries, aliens and stuff like that. The flux is shown as a really very ebullient thing itself and also it wakes up your hidden temptation to re-read the book repeatedly, again and again. I still have sort of a spiritual exaltation of mine and I suggest you to try it out and to read the book by Robert K. G. Temple called "the Sirius Mystery". Why not to open a new mystery for yourself??
