5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, the best argument for alien contact ever written., 23 Dec 2001

By	tony.leibbrandt@btinternet.com (Carradale, Scotland) - See all my reviews

A hugely impressive, deeply researched, and very detailed study of the beliefs and knowledge of the Dogon tribe of West Africa by a great polymath. Essential reading for anyone interested in the possibility of alien contact, it will also interest those who study ancient knowledge and prehistory. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone who thinks about the origins of man and myth., 27 May 2009

By	Peter Buckley "peter15115" (Dyfed, Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have finally read the Sirius Mystery after many years of reading of it secondhand. It appears most authors either love or loathe Robert Temple's theory. Although like the majority of readers, I have yet to be convinced about alien contact, the effort of the author in trying to make sense of the beliefs of the Dogon in the light of better known Egyptian, Sumerian and Greek myth is impressive to say the least. I found myself checking sources and alternative explanations, reaching the conclusion that Robert Temple is a careful and honest scholar. Read it and see for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear and concise presentation of fact, 6 Mar 2000

By A Customer

Temple's book is a detailed and well-documented presentation of research results. He deals with a delicate and almost heretical topic in the eyes of many of his colleagues in a professional manner that is hard to dismiss. Highly Recommended!
