," . . superb scholarly book, which gives overwhelming support to the O'Brien thesis of a single benevolent advanced source for civilization."
Product Description
The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. "The Science Of The Dogon" offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood. "The Science Of The Dogon", also, offers compelling new interpretations for many of the most familiar Egyptian symbols, such as the pyramid and the scarab and presents new explanations for the origins of religiously charged words such as Jehovah and Satan. The whole text reveals striking similarities between Dogon symbols and those used in both the Egyptian and Hebrew religions, with amazing implications for the history of civilisation. The material is an advance on the revelations that made Robert Temple's "The Sirius Mystery" an international bestseller.

Mysteries Magazine review, Oct 28 2007
By Kim Guarnaccia "Editor, Mysteries magazine" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Science Of The Dogon (Paperback)
The Dogon of Mali, West Africa, a civilization that existed from 10th to 13th centuries, gained prominence in recent times, primarily through Robert Temple's The Sirius Mystery, which describes their advanced knowledge of the peculiar workings of the Sirius star system. Author Laird Scranton takes Temple's research even further by showing how these people also possess advanced knowledge of everything from quantum physics to string theory.In order to sustain the illusion of the technological and intellectual superiority of modern man, the crucial elements which make up the Dogon's world view are usually overlooked--or deliberately ignored--by mainstream anthropologists and archaeologists. The implications that are posited in Scranton's book are nothing short of earthshaking, considering that the Dogon appear to have gained these sophisticated insights through some sort of sixth sense.
Along with Jeremy Naylor's work The Cosmic Serpent, which describes indigenous peoples of South America and Australia as having direct knowledge of the workings of DNA through their visionary experiences, The Science of the Dogon should prove to be a revolutionary force, especially with regard to integrating the Dogon cosmological vision into our own lives.

A must read !!, Jan 9 2007
By E. Caissie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Science Of The Dogon (Paperback)
Very refreshing. This author has really done a great job in researching the FACTS! He asks all the right questions and gives alternate theories on this very unusual tribe and their beliefs and ancestory. Really makes you wonder where mankinds origins really started.

Astounding and Intriguing, Nov 1 2006
By A. B. Watson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Science Of The Dogon (Paperback)
Science of the Dogon may take a central place in the libraries of ancient knowledge buffs. With tremendous clarity and humility, Laird Scranton unveils an elegant notion. It seems too deep to be fully appreciated in our time, and yet it seems crucial.
