How did it happen that a century ago they knew the facts that modern scientists have discovered only recently? The tribe does not hide the fact that they received this knowledge from aliens.
By numerous requests of big "brainstorming" toilers and small fans of the world conspiracy, let's lay out the amazing topic of understanding the universe from seemingly quite primitive communities, which even today have a place on our planet. Specifically, this topic concerns Sirius and its understanding by the various peoples of the world.
Let's start the story first
After the end of World War II, two anthropologists from France, Jarmen Dieterlen and Marcel Griaule, did something quite incredible, they managed to negotiate with the elders of the Dogon tribe living in the southern Sahara desert to stay with them for a while. At first the tribe was wary of the guys, but time, open and simple nature of scientists did their job, and eventually they became for the natives almost tribesmen.
In addition to the innate charisma of the guys were also infinitely intelligent, so they were accepted by the most respected in the tribe cult followers - Hogon. In one of the many friendly conversations, the elders gave away their top secrets to the scientists.
They talked about the cosmos, the universe and that the planet Sirius is a "tricky" star and not one, but two stars, one of which is big and bright, and the other is smaller and hides in its shadow.
The anthropologists were shocked by this information. They stared silently at the ground, where an elder was drawing the starry sky with incredible accuracy with a shelf. Scientists were well aware that another small star near Sirius had been discovered by the first inventor of the telescope, Alva N. Clark in 1862. It simply cannot be seen without modern devices, even with perfect eagle eyesight, as it is tens of thousands of times dimmer than its older counterpart. The first pictures of this star were made only in 1970, so the natives could not have known about its existence.
Moreover, the cultists of the tribe also told about the fact that this satellite of Sirius, which scientists after the discovery gave the name Sirius B is very heavy, and its weight is many times more than the weight of all the iron that is on the planet Earth. Surprising, because this fact was confirmed by scientists only after its discovery. Also the elders of the tribe knew and that it has an elliptical orbit and is precisely located relative to its alpha - Sirius. They also told that the planet called Jupiter has rings, that our planet and the other planets revolve around the luminary, and that the Earth rotates on its axis, it is not flat, but round, and that our galaxy has a spiral shape.
When the anthropologists came to their senses and asked where the tribe got such knowledge, the Dogons said that they were visited by aliens, whom they called Nomo. According to them, they visited the tribe several thousand years ago.
The Nomos looked frightening, and resembled amphibians in some ways. They told them this knowledge. But the Dogon did not speak of any gods, as is often the case with tribes, but clearly stated that they were visited by aliens from another planet.
Many people who know this story claim that this is impossible and the elders simply deceived gullible scientists. But whoever has eyes can see, whoever has ears can hear. It's impossible to make up such exact coincidences.
This tribe knew more about the cosmos than the whole world science a couple of decades ago, and this knowledge they kept for thousands of years. Amazing, but true.
