unexplained-events:The Dogon TribeThis tribe resides in Mali, West Africa. We learned a lot about this tribe through French anthropologist Marcel Griaule in 1946. Griaule lived with the tribe for 15 years before he was allowed to meet with the blind elder Ogotemmêli(last pic). Ogotemmêli taught him about their own system of astrononmy and about their cosmological religion. He also told them about how a race of aliens from the Sirius system came down and gave them some interesting information. Griaule claims that Ogotemmêli told him about there being an extremely dense companion star right next to Sirius which was invisible to the human eye(Sirius-B). Ogotemmêli even talked about a third star that was larger than Sirius B called “Emme Ya.” He also told Griaule about the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter. A few years later Robert Temple wrote a book titled The Sirius Mystery. It talks about the accuracy of The Dogon’s system and the precise cosmological facts that they knew about. Even Carl Sagan was impressed by their knowledge (he talks about it in The Demon Haunted World) especially since they did not have any equipment to see that. It would have required them to have a large optical telescope.By far one of my favorite mysteries. -- source link
