"I knew it was a book I needed to read" - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD. "His book explains complex scientific theory in a graspable way" - LILY ASHLEY. "This book is an important contribution... discussions of David Bohm, bioplasma, biophotons, and bioelectronics" - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne University, Paris. This work answers numerous scientific and esoteric questions about our reality, promising to revolutionize our understanding. It delves into the science of plasma, a fourth state of matter that underpins the other three: gas, liquid, and solid. Despite its significance, plasma has remained largely overlooked in popular science narratives, which have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. Over 99% of the universe is composed of plasma, including two recently discovered Kordylewski Clouds between Earth and the Moon. The book reveals that plasma can exhibit characteristics resembling intelligence, potentially reshaping our search for extraterrestrial life. Bestselling author Robert Temple, who has studied plasma for decades and collaborated with leading scientists, including Nobel laureates, brings this fascinating subject to light. His insights may change how we perceive the universe and our place within it, igniting new discussions and explorations in science.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.' Living in Ancient Greece in the 5th Century BC, Aesop was said to be a slave and story-teller. His much-loved, enduring fables are revered the world over and remain popular as moral tales for children. With infamous vignettes, such as the race between the hare and the tortoise, the vain jackdaw, and the wolf in sheep's clothing, the themes of the fables remain as fresh today as when they were first told and give an insight into the Ancient Greek world.

We tend to think of ancient stories of visits to the Underworld - by, for example, Odysseus, Orpheus and Aeneas - as being poetic fictions, but in fact in the ancient world the Underworld was believed to be real place that actually existed. Unfortunately, this entrance to the Underworld was lost in the Dark Ages, and hasn't been rediscovered since - or at least until the 1960s. Recently Robert Temple heard a rumour that an archaeological expedition in 1962 HAD actually rediscovered the entrance near Baiia in Italy, but that the Italian authorities had forbidden exploration. While lobbying to be allowed to excavate, he researched all the classical sources relating to the Underworld and began to piece together what actually happened on these visits to the underworld - how waters in the ritual bathing that preceded entry would be full of hallucinogenic drugs, how a system of trap doors would be used to fake supernatural happenings and how the priests would quiz you as to what you'd experienced when you re-emerged - and if you didn't believe in it, they'd kill you! Netherworld is the extraordinary story of what Temple discovered when he did eventually get permission to make his own descent into the Underworld - including the river Styx, the false doors, the snake pit and carved invocations to the Goddess of the Underworld, all seen here for the first time since ancient civilization.

Composed by a slave in Greek antiquity, some of the most ancient, sharp-witted and mysterious stories ever told.

Hat die Zivilisation auf der Erde aus dem Kontakt mit Bewohnern eines Planeten im Sirius-Sternsystem vor 3000 v. Chr. resultiert? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, verfolgt Robert Temple die Traditionen von vier afrikanischen Stämmen zurück bis zu den antiken Mittelmeerkulturen von Sumer und Ägypten vor 5000 Jahren. Er zeigt, dass diese Kulturen über großes Wissen verfügten, von dem sie behaupteten, es sei ihnen von Besuchern aus Sirius gegeben worden. Es gibt Stammeskulturen im heutigen Afrika (insbesondere die Dogon aus Mali), deren heiligste Traditionen auf dieser Theorie basieren; ihr Wissen über das Sirius-System ist in seiner Genauigkeit und Detailtreue erstaunlich, einschließlich Informationen, die erst kürzlich der modernen Wissenschaft bekannt wurden. Viele Autoren haben über das Thema extraterrestrischen Kontakt spekuliert, aber noch nie wurde eine so detaillierte Theorie formuliert. Das Sirius-Rätsel bietet Fakten, die während acht Jahren Forschung gesammelt wurden.

Robert Temples faszinierendes Buch sollte von all denen gelesen werden, die ein Interesse an der Geschichte der Wissenschaft haben, denn es kann auf diesem Gebiet gut und gerne zu einer Revolution führen. Sir Arthur C. Clarke Eine verlorengegangene Technologie des Altertums wiederentdeckt Robert Temple rekonstruiert in diesem Buch eine vollkommen vergessene Geschichte: die Geschichte der Licht-Technologie in antiken Zivilisationen. Sie datiert mindestens bis ins Jahr 2600 v. Chr. ins Alte Königreich von Ägypten zurück. Waren die alten Ägypter im Besitz eines Wissens und einer Technologie der Optik, die es ihnen ermöglichte, Teleskope zu bauen? Wie waren sie imstande, in den Bau der Pyramiden alle astronomischen Maße des Sonnensystems einfließen zu lassen - mit einer Genauigkeit, die ihresgleichen sucht? Wie kommen perfekt geschliffene optische Linsen, wie sie zur Herstellung von Teleskopen verwendet werden, in die Gräber und Kultstätten von Pharaonen und anderen Herrschern des Altertums? Und warum weigern sich die Ägyptologen, diese Linsen als das anzuerkennen was sie sind, und bezeichnen sie als Schmucksteine und Grabbeigaben.? Robert Temples neuestes Werk ist eine der revolutionärsten Studien auf dem Gebiet der Archäologie und Altertumsforschung. Es stellt alle Verfechter des bisherigen Geschichtsbildes vor eine große Herausforderung, der sich bisher nur sehr wenige gestellt haben.

L'esistenza della civiltà sulla Terra è il risultato del contatto con gli abitanti di un pianeta della stella Sirio avvenuto prima del 3000 avanti Cristo? Nella cultura tribale africana dei Dogon le tradizioni sacre più segrete sono basate su questa teoria. Nella loro cosmologia ci sono conoscenze accuratissime e dettagliate riguardanti il sistema della stella Sirio, con particolari tanto specifici che solo pochi anni fa l'astronomia scientifica, con potenti strumenti di osservazione e di calcolo, ha potuto scoprire e confermare. Robert Temple rintraccia le origini di queste tradizioni Dogon mettendole in rapporto alle antiche civiltà mediterranee degli Egizi e dei Sumeri: tutte e tre queste civiltà antiche furono caratterizzate da conoscenze fisiche e astronomiche molto evolute portate, secondo loro, da visitatori particolarmente evoluti provenienti da Sirio. In anni recenti sono state formulate molte teorie relative ad un contatto con civiltà extraterrestri; oltre a presentare una teoria Temple fornisce fatti e prove documentali senza precedenti che rivoluzionano il nostro approccio con la storia.
