The Dogon Tribe ...

 of West Africa

Did ancient aliens from the star system of Sirius visit an African tribe 5,000 years or more ago?  The following includes compelling evidence suggesting just that.

Several research specialists claim they have found the long-sought "final evidence" of visits made to earth by ancient aliens. The myths or legends of the Dogon tribesmen of Mali, West Africa, contain astronomical knowledge which the native people could not have learned by themselves or reasonably guessed. These same researchers say that a more advanced civilization had to have taught them such information.  Dogon legends speak of Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings, which were not  seen by human beings until the invention of the telescope. These same legends speak of the star Sirius and of a pair of invisible companions. One of which is described as circling Sirius every fifty years, the legends further describe this particular companion as being made of a metal that is in fact the heaviest metal or thing in the universe. Astronomers have in fact revealed that such an object (called "Sirius-B") exists but was only exposed by using modern and sophisticated instruments which are unavailable, of course, to the Dogons;  yet they have been aware of such information for at least 3 or 4 thousand years.

In fact, according to Robert Temple, author of The Sirius Mystery, the Dogon culture had contact with some ugly, amphibious extraterrestrials, called the Nommos, some 5,000 years ago.

The Dogon people who live in the Homburi Mountains near Timbuktu are thought to be decedents of the people of Egypt whose astronomical knowledge goes back as far as 3200 BC.  As I’ve already indicated but well worth repeating is the fact that at the very center of their religious teachings is knowledge about a star that is invisible to the unaided eye and so difficult to observe (even when viewed by a telescope) that not even one photograph was taken of it until as recently as 1970. The Dogon's claim they obtained their information about the star, as well as other related facts, from visitors who came to earth from another star system.

This information was first reported in the late 1940s, by two French anthropologists, who actually interviewed four Dogon priest’s who told them about such Dogon myths, particularly those regarding the star Sirius which is 8.6 light years (A light year = 5,865,696,000,000 miles) away from earth. These priests noted that Sirius had a companion star that was invisible to the human eye. They also acknowledged that the a second star traveled in a 50-year elliptical orbit around Sirius, that it was small and incredibly heavy, and that it rotated on its axis. You should know that each of these “myths” have since been proven to be astrological facts and are  excellent descriptions of Sirius B.

The star the Dogon described is Sirius B,  is apparently  a white dwarf star.  Astronomers of the Modern era had begun to suspect something of this nature as early as 1844, based on irregularities in the movement of Sirius A.  By 1862, a faint companion star was finally detected, and it was assumed that its extreme density and weight was sufficient to exert an influence on Sirius A.

Long before this, of course, the Dogon had already named Sirius B, “Po Tolo”, a name which includes their word for star (tolo) and “po”, the name of the smallest seed that they know of.  They had attempted to describe the star’s size by noting that it was, “the smallest thing there is.”  They stated as well that it was both white and “the heaviest star”; which are known to be modernistic facts.

Not only were the Dogon able to describe Sirius B’s elliptical orbit of Sirius A, its orbital period of 50 years (the actual figure is 50.04 +/- 0.09 years) was described as well along with the fact the star rotated on its own axis (which it does) is nothing short of being impressive.   Notably, The Dogon also speak of a third star in the Sirius system; they call it “Emme Ya”, which is further described as including a single “moon” in orbit around it.  This can only be Sirius C?

The Dogon idea of their being a Sirius C, aka Emme Ya, was not awarded respect until 1995, when two French Astronomers published the results from years of their study; such research indicated that there was apparently a small third red-dwarf star within the Sirius star system.

The Dogon people insist that their astronomical knowledge was given to them by something they called the “Nommos”, which were amphibious beings sent to earth from the Sirius Star System  to benefit all mankind. The name Nommos comes from a Dogon word meaning “to make one drink”, they were also called: “Masters of the Water”, the “Monitors”, and the “Teachers” by the Dogon natives.

The Nommos were considered as being saviors or spiritual guardians of a sort; they were described as being more “fishlike” than human, and were required to live in water.

According to The Dogon (myth?), at least one of the Nommo was allegedly crucified who then came back to life; and they say that sometime in the future, this creature will make a return visit the earth, but this time in human form. Some time later, according to the Dogon Priest's: "he will return to his amphibious or fish like form and rule the earth from the waters".

A brief summation includes these notable points : in addition to the facts regarding the Sirius system, the Dogon mythology / legends include knowledge of Saturn’s rings and Jupiter’s four major moons (none of which can be seen with the naked eye).  Plus, the Dogon have also long known that the planets orbit the sun in our solar system as well, as opposed to the once taught belief that everything rotated around earth.
