Product Description
Book Description
Is the existence of civilization on earth a result of contact from inhabitants of a planet in the system of the star Sirius prior to 3000 BC? There are tribal cultures in present-day Africa whose most sacred and secret traditions are based on this theory. Central to their cosmology is a body of knowledge concerning the system of the star Sirius that is astounding in its accuracy of detail, including specific information only recently accessible to modern science.

Brilliantly concise, meticulously researched information., Mar 1 2000
By tellin fibo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sirius Mystery (Paperback)
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.

Meticulous approach to subject matter; very well written., July 2 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sirius Mystery (Paperback)
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 most enlightening evidence of Amphibious beings/mermaids ., April 11 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sirius Mystery (Paperback)
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.
Listmania!
