The Sphinx Mystery by Robert Temple

	A NEW SCIENCE OF HEAVEN Hodder & Stoughton, London. 24 March 2022. A new, explosive study of plasma and its revolutionary implications for how we understand the universe and our place in it. Most scientific histories of the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is mostly unknown to the general public despite myriad Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world devoting their lives and research to it - it is the study of plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge from plasma. A New Science of Heaven reveals how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known include evidence that, in certain circumstances, plasma exhibits sentience, a sense that it may be alive. Clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to a super-computer. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place - Temple believes that intelligent entities can be inorganic and non-biological, and thus do not have to live on planets. Professor Robert Temple is an independent scholar and author of a dozen challenging and provocative books, commencing with the international best-seller, *The Sirius Mystery. His books have been translated into a total of 44 foreign languages. He is Visiting Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and previously held a similar position at an American university. Robert has followed the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates* - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple). He has written for the Sunday Times, The Guardian, and was science reporter for Time-Life, as well as a frequent reviewer for Nature and profile writer for The New Scientist. He is available for interview, feature and events throughout 2022.

	EGYPTIAN DAWN - HARDBACK PUBLISHED ON 2 September 2010 Century, London, 2010. A fascinating look into the real history of the ancient civilisations, including revelatory new evidence which challenges accepted truths about the history of Egypt. The mysteries of Ancient Egypt have proved an endless source of fascination to the world. Here, for the first time, international bestselling author Robert Temple seeks to expose the real history of this ancient civilisation. In this fascinating study, Temple unearths revelatory new evidence which challenges accepted truths about the history of Egypt and questions the evidence which most Egyptologists have relied on since 1910. In so doing he has sought to answer the two big questions which have until now been taken for granted: Where did Egyptian civilisation come from? And who built the pyramids, and why? With unprecedented access to lost portions of the valley temple which have long been closed to archaeologists, Temple presents a sensational, reconstructed story of Egypt which exposes a magnitude of previously unseen evidence, including: Pinpointing exact locations of unopened royal tombs Presenting re-datings of key monuments using a revolutionary new dating technique Exposing faked evidence which has been credulously accepted by the Egyptological community  Revealing who really built the pyramids The Great Pyramid could not have been built by King Cheops, nor was it his tomb. But Robert Temple has discovered the precise location of the real tomb of Cheops, which has never been opened since his burial, and is elsewhere at Giza
	The Sphinx Mystery with Olivia Temple, Inner Traditions, Rochester, 2009. Revealing 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, 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. Robert Temple 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.

The book also includes a theory of change based upon recent scientific work in a variety of fields.

It includes a survey of 150 years of case histories of hypnotic abuse and crime, and a thorough survey of world hypnosis research as it stood in 1989 (Temple had attended international hypnosis conferences and knew most leading researchers. He also has probably the largest private hypnosis library in Europe). The final chapter contains a new theory of consciousness, which was praised (see note in front of book) by Professor Ernest Hilgard, America's most famous living psychologist and former President of the American Psychological Association, who said: 'You have produced a plausible and forward-looking theory.' Professor John Taylor, head of the Neural Net Group of the University of London, also said that the theory had made a useful contribution to neural net theory. (The new theory is based upon Pierre Janet's theory of mental energy levels, combined with insights into parallel distributed processing, and offers also a theory of hypnosis).

	The Genius of China Originally published as China: Land of Discovery and Invention by Patrick Stephens, England, 1986 and as The Genius of China by Simon and Schuster, USA, 1987.

It won five major literary awards in the West, including ones from the American Library Association and the New York Academy of Sciences. This book was published in full trade editions in several foreign languages. It was adopted by UNESCO as an international project and by them translated into 43 languages, including such esoteric ones as Swahili, Basque, Catalan, Thai and Burmese. The book has been translated into Chinese four times: once for serialization weekly over the course of two years in the Chinese Science and Technology Weekly in the 1980s, once in a Hong Kong pirate edition, once in a mainland pirate edition, and finally officially by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, using a team of 34 specialist translators. (A simplified school edition for secondary school children is currently being planned, with the personal encouragement of the Chinese Minister of Education.) The official Chinese edition has a foreward by Dr. Lu Jiaxi, President of the Academy of Sciences, and introductory calligraphy by Dr. Song Jian, then Science and Technology Minister and now President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Vice Chairman of the National People's Consultative Committee.
	Conversations with Eternity Rider Books, London, 1984. The book is a survey of both Chinese and Western oracle and divination techniques in antiquity. It contains the first suggestions of a theoretical link between the Shang Dynasty oracle bones system and the I Ching. It also suggests that a brilliant scientific tradition existed prior to the Han Dynasty, which was later largely eclipsed by the 'five elements school'. This was the book which so impressed Joseph Needham that he asked Temple to work with him on The Genius of China (listed above).
