Convincing evidence that the Egyptian, Sumerian, and Dogon civilizations were founded by aliens from the Sirius star system who are now ready to return

• Updated with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that solidifies the hypothesis that the KGB, CIA, and NASA attempted to suppress

• An awe-inspiring work of research that calls for a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe

• Over 10,000 copies sold in its first two months of release in Britain

Publication of The Sirius Mystery in 1976 set the world abuzz with talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and triggered a 15-year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by the KGB, CIA, NASA, and other government agencies. Undaunted, however, Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that makes his hypothesis more compelling than ever.

Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial contact, but never before has such detailed evidence been presented. Temple applies his in-depth knowledge of ancient history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, chaos theory, and Greek, to a close examination of the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was built to align directly with the star Sirius. He concludes that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own civilization are part of the same harmonic system, and are destined to function and resonate together. His findings warrant a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The most exciting and scholarly exposition of the theory of extraterrestrial intervention yet written." ― John Michell, author of Secrets of the Stones and A Traveler's Key to Sacred England

"The Sirius Mystery argues with some sophistication the likelihood that superior beings from Sirius visited earth between 7,000 and 10,000 years ago. . . . Temple unleashes a torrent of arcane information . . . a swirl of genuine astronomical mysteries, anthropological dates, and the tricky cross-currents of comparative mythology." ― Time Magazine

"A fascinating book because the nugget of mystery Temple has mined and polished is from a pure vein. . . . The Sirius Mystery should be taken seriously." ― Nature Magazine

"Von Daniken and Velikovsky followers should have a good time with this book, which is buttressed by some impressive looking scholarly apparatus." ― Publishers Weekly

"Before dismissing Mr. Temple's theme as fantasy or science fiction one should read his well-documented book and examine his case without prejudice." ― Oxford Mail

"The mind not only bends but warps." ― Kirkus

"The mind boggles....Robert Temple is cautious. He has intellectual integrity...(his) massive research into the ancient mythologies of numerous civilizations and cultures one can only regard with awe." ― Sunday Times (London)

    5.0 out of 5 stars An amateur review on the "Sirius Mystery" by Robert Temple
    Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    A pretty serious and interesting book by Robert Temple, requiring sharp attention and careful scholarly consideration. There is so little that we really can claim to know about our own history as humans and this book is just another representation of the scope of how "little" that little really is. Of course, for staunch Darwinists these ideas may be no more than fiction, mythology, but upon deeper reading we have to understand that mythology on some level is more factual than the facts concocted by the scientists. After all, comparing to a human life, the age of a myth is much much longer.

    On this point I am bound to believe that we have never developed gradually from the one-celled organisms, then amphibians and finally primates. There are way too many glitches in that (still) theory. First of all - why there is no evidence of any primates becoming human in the last several thousands years of recorded history? Second, where are all the connecting links between the fish and the humans. I would expect a much higher diversity of different variations of fish-humans being still present and functioning as part of our current biosphere. Third, why haven't we seen any humans evolving into the super-humans, whatever that may mean. Obviously we are not the apex of evolution, in fact considering what we are doing - we are much worse than the dung-rolling beetles. At least they get rid of the excrement.

    So with this disregard for the theory of evolution, I have to conclude that if we became, at least physiologically what we are today, that must have been a rather fast, laboratory like process. Indeed, looking at the great complexity and the great variety of creation it is hard not to conclude that this was all created by the Creators too sophisticated to understand. I think this book is a great step on the way to connecting with ourselves, and our true ancestors no matter how far away they may seem.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dogon Mystify Scientists
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    How does a Stone Age, West African tribe know minute details about a STAR, invisible to the naked eye, orbiting in a binary system with the visible star Sirius? Furthermore; How do they know about a THIRD star in the system that wasn't known to astronomers until recently and, then, only with with the use of powerful X-ray and Optical telescopes? More baffling; how do the Dogon know PRECICELY the orbital times and ratios of these Stars and their utterly astonishing relationship with the planet EARTH?

    Robert Temple leads an exciting investigation into ancient knowledge given to the Dogon and handed down for centuries (according to their religion, art and tribal history); Information, of staggering proportions, that correlates exactly with what science has learned in the past 100 years. The question is: not whether this knowledge was given to the Dogon... but given by whom?

    Robert Temple's work is backed with years of (footnoted) research and a dedication to stick to the facts and not allow himself to fly-off into speculation, about Visitors coming to Earth, just to boost sales in the "New-Age" market. In fact, in my opinion, Robert Temple's work, presented in this present, updated edition, reveals a history with stunning implications and an opportunity for the Human Race to "Know Thyself" as never before.

    Read the evidence and judge for yourself if Earth was visited by Alien Contact 5,000 years ago? Many are frightened (by evidence of their 'tags') but only open minds have ever revealed history shaking events, nor ever will.

    Even the introduction is chock-full of interesting information, and sucks you in immediately. I bought a used copy, and am using a highlighter to mark topics I want to circle back to. I've a feeling I'll be spending at least six months' worth of time with this book and associated topics. Gonna buy it for a friend of mine, as well.
