ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS / EGYPT "Sacred Symbols of the Dogon will
challenge the reader to seriously consider that ancient
civilizations possessed a scientific sophistication rivaling our
present-day theories of matter and the fundamental forces of
physics. Highly recommended for anyone who has questioned the
mainstream view of ancient civilization as scientifically
primitive." --John Dering, chief scientist for lasers and special
projects at Scientific Applications & Research Associates
(SARA), Inc. In his first book, The Science of the Dogon, Laird
Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in
the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science
(atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory), with Dogon
drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams
that relate to the formation of matter. Scranton also pointed to
the close resemblance between the keywords and component elements
of Dogon cosmology and those of ancient Egypt as well as to the
implication that ancient cosmology may also be about actual
science. Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the
starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian
hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings
for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading
and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows
how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept and that their
meanings are scientific in nature. Using the Dogon symbols as a
"Rosetta stone," he reveals references within the ancient Egyptian
language that define the full range of scientific components of
matter--from massless waves to the completed atom--evensuggesting
direct correlations to a fully realized unified field theory. LAIRD
SCRANTON is an independent software designer who became interested
in Dogon mythology and symbolism in the early 1990s. He has studied
ancient myth, language, and cosmology since 1997 and has been a
lecturer at Colgate University. He is the author of The Science of
the Dogon and also appears in John Anthony West's Magical Egypt DVD
series. He lives in Albany, New York.
