The Sirius Mystery: New Scientific Evidence of Alien Contact 5,000 Years Ago

“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 Publication of The Sirius Mysteryin 1976 set the world abuzz with talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and triggered a fift year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by powerful intelligence agencies. Why many of the world’s top secret organizations would commit such immense resources to suppressing Temple's research can only be speculateodn , but the failure of their att is clear: Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that make his hypothesis more compelling than ever . Many authors havejexamined the subject of extraterrestrial contact, but never before has such detai vidence been so thoroughly presented. Drawing equally on his astounding knowledge of ancient history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, and chaos theory, Temple connects the African Dogons’ belief that th ere visited by beings from Sirius to similar beliefs held by the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians, indicating that these ures’ great knowledge of physics and astrophysics most likely was imparted t m by extraterrestrials. Temple’s conclusion that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own civilization are parts of the same harmonic system, estined to function and resonate together, is sure to bring about a profound reappraisal of our role in the universe.
