Did civilization on earth result from contact with inhabitants of a planet in the Sirius star system prior to 3,000 B.C.? To answer this question, Robert Temple traces the traditions of four African tribes back 5,000 years to the ancient Mediterranean cultures of Sumer and Egypt. He shows that these cultures possessed great knowledge, much of which they claimed was given them by visitors from Sirius. There are tribal cultures in present-day Africa (notably the Dogon of Mali) whose most sacred traditions are based on this theory; their knowledge of the Sirius system is astounding in its accuracy and detail, including information only recently known to modern science. Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial contact, but never before has such a detailed theory been formulated. The Sirius Mystery provides facts gathered during eight years of research.

Brilliantly concise, meticulously researched information.

Temple's book brings together cross-cultural information on a widely disregarded subject. This is no mere sensationalist UFO bltithering. This is a serious inquiry into the origins of human civilisation. From sources as popular as E.A. Wallis Budge, to the obscure pre-Socratic philosophers, Temple assembles a theory that one is compelled to accept, if only as a probable possibility. I began reading this as a skeptic, and by the end of the book I was suprised to find myself seriously considering the possibilies he puts forth. Perhaps one of the strongest reasons for this is Temple's own criticism of the weak points in his theory; and his meticulous referencing of the material in question, so that one one might conduct one's own inquiry. A very refreshing, sober tone as contrasted to the many fanatics and overly-biased authors that plague the genre. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in human origins, ancient civilisations, and the mythological constructs that shape our very lives. Robert K.G. Temple is to be commmended for providing accessibility to this information; and for doing so in a sensible, responsible manner.
A marvelous and fascinating Read of possible human origin
By AEA2EG19R9YBH on 1999-02-17
If one takes the time to reason the immaculent impossibility that evolution could have achieved something as complex as the human speicies in such an apparent short space of time, while at the same time take millenia upon millenia to creat even the very basic of life forms on the planet seems almost, if not immpossible to believe. While I cannot say based on the assumptions that Robert Temple puts forth in his book the Sirius Mystery are all correct, what I can say is that when taken as whole, one can only logically draw one immutable conclusion - that the idea that life here began or at least has its roots someplace else off the planet, possibly in the Siruis star stystem,is as good as any other idea, or evolutionary speculation put forth by modern science - I think even better. The idea that even if evolution is true, and I do in fact believe that science has proven that living things do change and adapt to various changes in the invioronment over time, however, they don't mutate into entire different animal groups. By this I mean, plants are always plants, a bird is always a bird, a fish is always a fish, a reptile is always a reptile, a monkey is always a monkey, and a humanbeing is always a human being. Body styles may very, along with color and various adaptations suited to ones own environment and his ability to survive. It seems logical that we should be able to see the missing links in the fossil record between animal group to animal group concidering the amount of fossils we have at our disposal. All we can see, however, is the similarity between one animal group and another. Physical adaptations change again and again over time but the underlying animal type does not change over time. The Sirius Mystery causes one to question the current scientific dogma of our time which totally ignors the possibility of outside intervention from another scource, which on the face of things, is the only logical answer that can be given. The Sirius Mystery puts forth the very plausible notion that humanbeings are a cross between a type of ape now extinct and a devine being with human like qualities. The Bible as well as every other religeon with roots deep in the past seems to confirm this in one respect or another. There is a bond between us and our alien creator which is programmed into our DNA. This difference seperates us from all other speicies of animal life on the planet. We are programmed and therebye demonstrate by design, our God like ability to build civilizations, build rockets and start new colonies on other plannets just like our creators did millenia and millenia ago on this plannet called Earth using their own prevailing technowledgy. This is our God like nature right or wrong and our fullfilment/link to our allien past. Thank You for your book Robert Temple.
A most enlightening evidence of Amphibious beings/mermaids .
By on 1999-04-11
I have always been very fascinated by the fact that the most common legendry creatures have been mermaids.Could it be true that an amphibious human ever existed? Am also a believer in extraterrestrial life. For the first time I have read convincing evidence of my two favourite subjects in one book and also interlinked.The Sirius Mystery is a must read for anyone who wants to really get convinced about life in outer space or make others beieve.It also makes excellent research material.
Meticulous approach to subject matter; very well written.

I read this book over two years ago and have since read it again. The research undertaken to accumulate, decipher and assimilate the information used in the creation of this work is considerable. I would strongly recomend this book to anyone who is pondering the possibilty that our true ancient history is not reflective of what we have been taught in school.
A masterpiece!!
By on 1998-04-07
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??
