Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: 

#1 The second book in the series, Sacred Symbols of the Dogon, focuses on the Dogon tribe and their cosmology. The book documents many consistent similarities between Dogon mythological keywords and symbols and those of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language.

#2 The Dogon are a modern remnant of a very ancient tradition. They share many common elements of culture, mythology, and language with ancient Egypt, and they observe many of the same religious traditions and rituals as ancient Judaism.

#3 The similarities between Dogon and Egyptian culture are so great that when we are faced with a complex or uncertain Egyptian word or concept, we can often gain insight into its meaning by looking to corresponding words in the more accessible Dogon language.

#4 The Dogon tribe, located in Mali, has a complex cosmological system that is revealed only to potential initiates. The priests are obliged to answer any orderly question asked by an initiate. Over time, this priestly obligation became the cornerstone of an instructional dynamic in which knowledge would be divulged only after the initiate asked the appropriate question.
