Dogon cosmology provides a new Rosetta stone for reinterpreting Egyptian hieroglyphs • Provides a new understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs as scientific symbols based on Dogon cosmological drawings • Use parallels between Dogon and Egyptian word meanings to identify relationships between Dogon myths and modern science In 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--their 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, and 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, even suggesting direct correlations to a fully realized unified field theory. Review: Washed away - I loved what I saw of it -- but lost it to the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey before ever getting the chance to delve into it! I know Scranton's work, and find his writing lucid and fascinating. Will reorder this when my life is reordered and my house is rebuilt... Review: A refreshing new look at ancient wisdom - Laird has certainly done his research. Wow! I have lived/worked/studied in Egypt for more than 35 years. It was always clear the Egyptologists didn’t have it right, but other theories often come off as mere speculation. Even if intuitively we might like to believe in these new theories, there often wasn’t much to back them up, perhaps for lack of access to significant artifacts or places. Laird has really done his homework and puts all the pieces together. There are detailed explanations and charts in this book to show you exactly how he got from A to B to C. I truly enjoyed the book. It opened my mind to new ideas and information I didn’t have before, as well as making me optimistic about the future of our understanding of ancient Egypt. A must-read for anyone interested in alternative Egyptology and ancient cosmology.

Excellent Thesis!
I have to admit that the string theory is a bit over my head, but Laird Scranton made some excellent observations in this book. I have studied Egyptology and ancient languages for many years, and he put forth explantions for the hieroglyphs I had never even considered, and they have great merit. Based upon Mr. Scranton's reasoning and use of hieroglyphs, I have been prodded to study other words (like about obelisks) to see what deeper meanings they might possibly have, and I haven't been disappointed. Semitic languages are fascinating, and Egyptian writing is even more so, because of the determinatives used at the ends of the words. This book has opened up a whole new avenue of research for me, and I want to thank Mr. Laird for his contribution to the study of science, language, and ancient history.

This book covers a very unique subject, and is well worth studying for the serious researcher.
I am not aware of any other texts that cover this subject in such detail. The book is certainly an excellent supplement to texts on Ancient Egyptian science.

"Written by a Computer Analyst and very intriguing for those interested in Egyptian hieroglyphics" - my dad He's really into the occult and all things mysterious. He says it's hard to read, but worth it especially if you've read the "Sirius Mystery."

This intact is an amazing piece of work
This intact is an amazing piece of work. I would really recommend it to anyone is interested in Egypt, Science and Maths. The Dogon people are mentioned in The Hebrew Bible so you have a grater understanding of this priestly generation.
