A book that verifies the existence of secret underground chambers
beneath the Sphinx and demonstrates its origins as the Egyptian god
of the dead, Anubis
- Includes an anthology of eyewitness accounts from early travelers
who explored the secret chambers before they were sealed in 1926
- Reveals that the Sphinx was originally carved as a monumental
crouching Anubis, the Egyptian jackal god of the necropolis
Shrouded in mystery for centuries, the Sphinx of Giza has
frustrated many who have attempted to discover its original
purpose. Accounts exist of the Sphinx as an oracle, as a king's
burial chamber, and as a temple for initiation into the Hermetic
Mysteries. Egyptologists have argued for decades about whether
there are secret chambers underneath the Sphinx, why the
head-to-body ratio is out of proportion, and whose face adorns it.
In "The Sphinx Mystery," Robert Temple addresses the many mysteries
of the Sphinx. He presents eyewitness accounts, published over a
period of 281 years, of people who saw the secret chambers and even
went inside them before they were sealed in 1926--accounts that had
been forgotten until the author rediscovered them. He also
describes his own exploration of a tunnel at the rear of the
Sphinx, perhaps used for obtaining sacred divinatory dreams.
Robert Temple reveals that the Sphinx was originally a monumental
Anubis, the Egyptian jackal god, and that its face is that of a
Middle Kingdom Pharaoh, Amenemhet II, which was a later re-carving.
In addition, he provides photographic evidence of ancient sluice
gate traces to demonstrate that, during the Old Kingdom, the Sphinx
as Anubis sat surrounded by a moat filled with water--called Jackal
Lake in the ancient Pyramid Texts--where religious ceremonies were
held. He also provides evidence that the exact size and position of
the Sphinx were geometrically determined in relation to the
pyramids of Cheops and Chephren and that it was part of a pharaonic
resurrection cult.
'Many people are not in the least disturbed at the harm that befalls them, provided they can see their enemies’ downfall first’ In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, Aesop created a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature. Here we see a wily fox outwitted by a quick-thinking cicada, a tortoise triumphing over a self-confident hare and a fable-teller named Aesop silencing those who mock him. Each jewel-like fable provides a warning about the consequences of wrong-doing, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of Ancient Greeks. This definitive edition is the first translation into English of the entire corpus of 358 unbowdlerized fables. It is fully annotated, with an introduction that rescues the fables from a tradition of moralistic interpretation.
Convincing evidence that the Egyptian, Sumerian, and Dogon
civilizations were founded by aliens from the Sirius star system
who are now ready to return
- Updated with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that solidifies
the hypothesis that the KGB, CIA, and NASA attempted to suppress
- An awe-inspiring work of research that calls for a profound
reappraisal of our role in the universe
- Over 10,000 copies sold in its first two months of release in
Britain
Publication of "The Sirius Mystery" in 1976 set the world abuzz
with talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and
triggered a 15-year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by
the KGB, CIA, NASA, and other government agencies. Undaunted,
however, Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence
that makes his hypothesis more compelling than ever.
Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial
contact, but never before has such detailed evidence been
presented. Temple applies his in-depth knowledge of ancient
history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, chaos theory, and Greek,
to a close examination of the measurements of the Great Pyramid of
Giza, which was built to align directly with the star Sirius. He
concludes that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own
civilization are part of the same harmonic system, and are destined
to function and resonate together. His findings warrant a profound
reappraisal of our role in the universe.

New England has played a prominent role in the history of harness
racing in America. The greatest horses, owners, drivers and
trainers competed here and the sport reached its height of
popularity following the legalization of pari-mutuel wagering in
the mid-1930's following 300 years of Puritanical resistance to
gambling. Today harness racing is barely hanging on as a viable
commercial entity. This book details the history of the sport,
tracing its rise and near-final fall and the possible solution to
saving it.

There's something fascinating about border towns. Who hasn't
crossed the line into another state to buy fireworks, gamble, or
even to get married? Here are border towns with names as unique as
the places themselves, names that bridge the boundaries.
Robert D. Temple brings you a quirky, fascinating, and wholly
entertaining look at more than eighty North American border towns
in Edge Effects. With an adventurer's heart and a historian's keen
eye, Temple explores life on the edge and how these places have
made their place in history. There's big-city Mexicali and
empty-quarter Idavada, idyllic Vir-Mar Beach and whiskey-soaked
Mondak. Then there's prairie-bleak Alsask, mountain-high Wyocolo,
and palmy Florala. And who could forget Texarkana?
Along with finding these towns in the first place comes
adventure in exploring them, by highway, four-wheel-drive, boots,
and kayak, and in encountering memorable locals: historians,
farmers, waitresses, cops, forest rangers, railroaders, and
ne'er-do-wells. But even more, these places lead us to investigate
concepts of borders, boundaries, frontiers, margins, and
marginality, as well as survey lines, battle lines, picket lines,
and color lines.
Edge Effects brilliantly examines how frontiers enrich cultures
and boundaries define them. But more importantly, it reveals how
edges shape local history-and our lives.
